Trainer Tanja was born and raised in Germany. Coming in as a second-generation dog trainer, Tanja had the honor of training her own German Shepherd, Rosie, at the age of 13. Tanja and Rosie specialized in Obedience, Tracking, and Protection (SCHH, IGP) during their time working together. Currently, Tanja works with Nova, her Belgian Malinois, in IGP at the Phoenix Schultzhund Club and is beginning to train up her Standard Poodle named Heidi. By unlocking and working the dog as a whole, including their mind, body, and spirit, Tanja is able to find the right job for her dogs to help them lead fullfilled lives. Not to mention having fun while you train makes it all around more enjoyable! Over the years,Tanja has developed a passion for helping canines and owners live peacefully allowing her to confidently train all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Tanja has experienced it all from aggressive, fearful, and timid to hyperactive, clever, and playful inattentive puppies. The greatest reward for Tanja is observing the pride her clients grow into as they see their dogs learning and the joy they ultimately get to experience by putting in the effort to own a well trained dog. Trainer Tanja is looking forward to helping you and your canine friends accomplish goals to live in harmony.

Jennifer began training dogs at the age of 18 with her Toy Fox Terrier. While they attended and placed at UKC competitions, their best work was in Agility and Flyball. Like many other people in, life continued to grow and flow along different paths. In 2023, the joy of canine training was reignited when she and her family rescued a German Shepherd from MCACC. Liesl showed promising signs of becoming a service dog for her Autistic Son upon their first introduction at MCACC. While these things take time, the Team is continuing to bond, grow, and learn on their journey together. Being a Special Needs Parent is often challenging but finding ways to support the special gift each child or person holds helps bring a little more joy into the world. Anyone can access this joy; they just need to be shown how to uncover it. Trainer Jennifer looks forward to helping you and your canine companion find peace, joy, or the perfect job for your pup.
