About TJs Dog Training

Hi, I’m Tracey and from as young as I can remember I have always had a love for animals and had them in my life!

Growing up my parents owned German Shepherds, Poodles, Cats plus I was a very fortunate to have owned 3 horses.

When I moved into my own home it felt very empty without any animals, so when my first child was 7 months old I felt ready to own a dog, I spent a lot of time researching different breeds weighing up the pros and cons before I opened our door and hearts to my 1st BoxerGeorgia.

Since then my partner and 2 children have shared our lives with many pets. Fish, Hamsters, Guniea Pigs, Rabbits, Cats and another 3 dogs, 2 of which were also boxers. I have trained all our dogs myself.

With Rigsby though, my life was very different, for a start, my children were older and my change in circumstances had given me the opportunity to attend dog training classes with him.

It was attending these classes and being inspired by both of our trainers I became intrigued in the way dogs learnt and wanted to increase my knowledge of all things to do with dogs so I started to read dog books and articles on the Internet, I also applied and passed online dog training courses.

At first, the idea was to build my knowledge to help with Rigsby’s training and also to create a stronger bond with him. The more I read and learnt the more I realised this was what I wanted to do as a career, so here I am now.

It’s a fantastic feeling getting up in the morning knowing I’m doing something I love every day.
