TRAINING DETAILS:
Travel Radius
Tanzi typically visits homes about a 10-15 minute drive from Meadowood Park on Falls Road. That distance typically includes areas within these neighborhoods: Owings Mills, Randallstown, Reisterstown, Glyndon, Pikesville, Stevenson, Lutherville-Timonium, Cockeysville, Hunt Valley, Sparks, Roland Park, Homeland, Guilford, Cedarcroft, Hampden, Riderwood, Ruxton, Mt. Washington, Towson, and Hampton.
-
If your home is just a bit further out, check anyway, as sometimes she can go a little further depending on current lesson scheduling.
-
Hybrid services are available if you can meet at Meadowood Park for some lessons, and virtual services are available if you can't. (Check out client reviews for virtual services if you don't know how that works.)
Availability & Scheduling
For January 2025, private, in-person visits are available on weekdays except Thursdays and Sundays. Lesson start times are between 7a - 4p and vary daily. Outdoor work is available during warmer months, and when it's under 45 degrees or inclement, we practice inside. (For leash walking, that might mean working at a home improvement store.)
Training Agreements
-
You believe in working with a dog training and behavior professional who prioritizes continuing education and uses evidence-based training methods to prioritize behavioral health for dogs and compassionate work with humans.
-
You don't want to train your dog with methods using pain, discomfort, threat, yelling, hitting, or intimidation of any kind, and if you've done so in the past, you are ready to make a change. We agree not to use aversive tools such as prong/pinch collars, choke collars, shock (e-, stim, educator) collars, slip leads, leash pops, bonkers, chain bags, penny cans, sprayed water, compressed air, and ultrasonic sound.
-
You do not use a shock fence indoors or outdoors now or plan to install one in the future.
-
You seek out appropriate veterinary expertise when your dog exhibits pain, itching, anxiety, fear, or phobia that prevents them from having a good quality of life, including learning and retaining information, and you are open to the appropriate use of medication for both physical and mental health if that's recommended by a veterinarian or veterinary behaviorist who is knowledgeable about behavior.

"Tanzi is the best dog trainer I have ever worked with. She is incredibly knowledgable, kind and patient. She explains not only the how, but also the why, which is so important for training your dog when she is not right there with you. She will work with you and your dog to create a customized training plan for YOUR dog, not a cookie cutter one-size-fits all approach. I cannot recommend Tanzi enough!"

"Tanzi is the best! She knows SOOOOO MUCH about dogs AND people and how they interact. She is a lifesaver and we are so lucky to have found her. We were very experienced dog owners with a very anxious puppy, unlike anything we had ever experienced before. She helped us get things on the right track! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
