I have a very anxious dog who has difficulty settling and takes medications throughout the day. I was happy to know he was in safe hands with Tracy. I felt at ease knowing that my dog was with someone who could read his cues and understands doggy language. I would strongly recommend Tracy’s boarding facility to anyone who is nervous about leaving their dog! -

We started with training for our puppy, and have had the best experience. He LOVES Tracy and we have seen an almost immediate improvement in his behavior. We were recently looking for boarding options when Tracy let us know she was available, and it worked out so well. Her place is perfect for dogs with a huge, fenced in yard, and all the toys the pups could ever hoped for. Tracy sent us frequent updates and pictures, and we felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her. When we picked him up after the weekend he was so happy and so tired, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Overall everything has been fantastic, and we will definitely be utilizing Tracy’s services again in the future! -

Weve had the pleasure of working with Tracy twice for our pit bull mix, Bailey. We felt so comfortable with her, as she knew Bailey from our doggie daycare and had a soft spot for her! Shes such a great dog, but had some impulse behaviors to work through. Tracy helped observe, explain and advise on her behaviors as the session went along. She was so patient and encouraging that it gave us confidence as dog owners to continue practicing/training. We did the first session inside to work on the basics and then we brought her back to help with walking behavior (tugging leash, wanting to jump/play with animals/dogs, etc). Bailey is night and day from where she started and we have Tracy to thank for that! Cannot recommend her enough. -

Tracy is incredibly passionate, effective, and warm. After we’d had a pretty disheartening experience with another trainer, we found Tracy to be everything we needed and more. Couldn’t imagine having the incredible dog we have today without her guidance, teaching, and support.Firstly, she was so validating and compassionate (with us and our pup!) about what had felt so off for us about the previous trainer we’d met. Also, she was clear and direct about her approach and training philosophy. So we immediately felt understood, like our goals were her priorities. And we also knew what we’d be doing and why which was exactly the reassurance we needed as first time dog owners.Tracy was so kind and playful with feedback too! She created an environment where we felt like we were learning. It was genuinely so empowering at a time when we felt helpless with our 3 month old puppy.Our puppy made progress every single session and we felt equipped with the instructions we needed to practice with her. After only a few sessions, our puppy could: sit, lay down, stay for extended periods, ”leave it” with things she shouldn’t eat, “drop it” with things she shouldn’t eat, go into her crate on command (and be happily wagging her tail about it), and was totally potty trained. When we’ve brought our dog to meet other dogs, people are amazed how gentle, friendly, and smart she is. We could not have gotten here without Tracy. Don’t hesitate! She is exactly what you and dog need and deserve!!Thank you Tracy!!!! -

I dont think our border collie has been happier than when hes staying with Tracy. He LOVES her! We boarded him with Tracy for 5 days last week, and during that time, she kept us updated on what he was upto, and took so much care of him, that a week later he still misses her. I think he loved the company, the care, and the compassion with which she treated him, and took care of him. He absolutely loved playing in the backyard and in the house - which is saying a lot as hes a play-obsessed border collie and I know first hand how much work it is to keep him engaged. We will definitely board him with Tracy again, as I cannot think of any one else I can trust with his care more than her. We unreservedly recommend Calming Canine Training for anyone who wants their pup loved, in a professional and safe environment. -

Tracy was amazing. She was able to provide us with some clear ways to work with our pup and we were able to easily keep up with the tips & tricks after her visit. Really helpful, tailored for our needs and things that are really easy/approachable. Highly recommend & would use her services again! -

Tracy came to the house to work with my dog Buddy. He’s such a good pup but I was struggling to understand some of his queues and triggers and when/how to manage. It’s like I have a new dog - Buddy loves “school” and the results are clear - he is so much more attentive and listens better than before. Thank you! -

Tracy, from Calming Canine, is truly a dog whisperer. When I met her I immediately felt confident in her hands, like she was going to teach me some great tricks about disciplining our German shepherd puppy, and she did! Her personality is so easy going, non intimidating, she never makes you feel silly asking ridiculous questions and is always up for giving feedback that’s constructive and productive. My husband and I learnt so much from her and we learnt with ease and joy not feeling frustrated or overwhelmed- I think it had a lot to do with Tracy’s positive energy because of her patience and caring. She also really, really Understands and loves dogs. Couldn’t recommend her enough. -

Tracy is the absolute best!!! She is working with my two Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies and they LOVE HER! Her positive rewarding training is amazing, she makes it look so simple! She is fun and very interactive with them and she makes it so enjoyable. Im so glad we found Tracy and so happy to know that she boards also! Would not even consider leaving them with anyone else! Thank you Tracy for helping us with our boys and do so in such a caring manner means so much! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! -

Tracy Kral, CCDT Is great. We had just gotten our 3 month old puppy in December. It was very clear after the honeymoon period was over the my wife and I were in over our head. The constant barking at all hours of the night and no luck in house training her it became very clear that we needed help. During one of our walks in the Neighborhood we met another new puppy owner who gave us Tracy Kral contact information. We knew after the first meeting she would be the one to help us. She came into our home and quickly bonded with our dog. Then she interviewed us to get to know what out experience and expectations were without and judgments. She helped us create a safe home for our dog by giving us a routine to follow(which was a life changer) and taught us hope to interact with our dog in a peaceful positive and nurturing way. Since then we have seen a positive change in our dog. She follows commands is friendly with the people and dogs she meets on our walks. I really believe that Tracy help understanding and our and the puppy’s behavior has helped my wife and I train our dog to be a healthy member of our family. -

Basil absolutely loves Tracy & is so excited whenever she comes over for training. Tracy is extremely patient and helpful. We have seen a drastic change in basils reactivity issue and leash pulling. I used to feel apprehensive & anxious when walking her but my confidence has grown since working with Tracy.
