"Sophie, our Golden Retriever puppy joined our family
nearly one year ago and since day one has challenged our
authority in every way imaginable. She's very smart and
like most puppies, there is no end to her energy so
finding an outlet was crucial. The obvious game of fetch
to burn off this abundance of energy was not possible
because of recall issues. To make matters worse, she
acted like a Tasmanian Devil when she was on any kind of
leash or tie-out. She has little if any contact with
other puppies so she was uncomfortable and yappy around
other dogs. Sophie had already completed the usual 6 week
puppy socialization class as well as a 5 week beginner
obedience class when a friend recommended Tiffany Huebner
@ Dogue Style.
Our initial meeting with Tiffany was a private
consultation where my husband and I were introduced to
some changes we could make to our
behavior towards this demanding little girl. We have
since completed an 8 week beginner obedience course
followed by an 8 week beginner agility class. Both
classes have been extremely helpful. The smaller class
size was great for a number of reasons, but for us in
particular as it enabled the instructors to step in and
help me address behavioral issues on several occasions.
Sophie absolutely loves the all day "play day" with her
puppy friends during the week as well as the occasional
Puppy Dog Socials. I love the tired little puppy I bring
home as a result.
The gals at Dogue Style are extremely capable and
wonderful to work with and obviously love what they do.
Although Sophie has a ways to go, my husband and I have
enjoyed Sophie's progress with her recall skills, leash
manners and overall behavior issues immensely."

"Hi Tiffany. This is Angie Lambert. I was calling to tell
you I have a completely different dog. I cannot believe
she is the same dog, It's so wonderful! And I was just
working with her for a couple of days now is all and she
is coming to me! I can't believe it! She's learning 'bed'
and she's not chewing up stuff that she's not suppose to.
She gives it to me. I can't believe it! So...she's a much
happier dog and I'm a much happier dog owner. So thank
you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! And I'll
probably give you more updates or call you sometime to
dog sit so thank you so much. She's a completely
different dog for me. That's all. Bye!"
-- Voice message from client, Angie regarding her Beagle,
Polly after one session.
Tiffany has been fabulous in helping us with our
Pitbull-mix, Bran. We were at the end of our rope with
him when we started working with Tiffany. He had major
separation anxiety, would completely lose it jumping and
barking when people came to our house, and he would not
stop chasing his tail for hours on end...it was driving
us CRAZY! We had contacted other trainers, and they were
unwilling to even meet Bran and try to help us. Most
people said we should just put him to sleep. With
Tiffany, we were able to get Bran to stop chasing his
tail, he stopped eating through kennels, and we were
actually able to take our dog on a normal walk! He is
like a completely different dog now, he listens to us, we
are able to teach him tricks, and he is even doing
Agility classes. Our friends and family have even said
'Who is this dog and what have you done with crazy Bran?'
The change in Bran and in Comet is just unbelievable. I
can't say 'Thank You' enough!!

"Your classes have added a new and fun direction to my
life. In my past, dogs have been nice (when they didn't
bite me) and useful farm animals that we never trained or
played with much... so puppy obedience training is new to
me. Tiffany, you are the BEST! I thank you for your
energy and constant encouragement. I have always trusted
your positive methods... it is apparent that you have
tons of experience and that you research and network to
support and to add to your skill. Gustav really was
trying my patience before we met you; I knew I was in
trouble! Now we're getting along fine and will continue
classes for fun and reinforcement. The session with the
animal talker was a revelation to me... watching her and
hearing her thoughts on Gustav helped me to relax into a
better understanding of him... Thanks for all of this,
Tiffany!"

"After many years of wanting a Basenji we ended up with
2. I am very pleased with the non-aggressive training
that I am learning at Dogue Style. Tiffany seems to
understand the differences in breeds and has provided me
with skills to develop continually positive training
sessions with my Basenjis. We are very grateful for her
ability to share her skills on a level that everyone
seems to understand and retain."

"This is Lydia and Lavelle Wallace, we have a 2 year old
MinPin who is a little terror, dominating and very
aggressive toward anybody who comes close to him, we were
even told to put him down, till we met Tiffany, within
one hour work with him, she was able to walk him on the
leech, and within one week he was boarding at her house,
she was able to pick him up and carry him, nobody, not
even us could believe what she has done in such a short
time, now there are more trainers who are working at
Tiffany's Training School who are able to approach him
and even pick him up. thanks to Tiffany - whose knowledge
of what and how to work with animals we still have our
little minpin."
