Tracey Irwin

Hi, I’m Tracey, the owner of TJ’s Dog Training I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, cats, and even three horses. When I started my own family, we welcomed our first Boxer, Georgia, and since then, our home has shared many pets, all of whom I’ve trained myself.

Training Rigsby inspired me to dive deeper into how dogs learn. I completed courses, read extensively, and applied my knowledge to strengthen our bond. What started as a personal journey quickly became a career passion.

Now, I get to do what I love every day—helping dogs and their owners learn, grow, and enjoy their time together.

Rigsby Irwin

Hi, I'm Rigsby! I,m a Golden Show Cocker Spaniel who joined mummy and daddy in May 2015

As a pup, I loved chewing on a plastic flower pot and mummy’s hair, but now I’m all about chasing tennis balls and playing with my friends.

I live with mummy, daddy, my dog siblings Sidney and Phoebe and our cats Hiccup and Mcgee. I even inspired mummy to learn all about dogs—and now she gets to do her dream job because of me!

I’m the baby of the family joined brothers when I was 9 weeks old in January 2020.
