By My Side Canine

We are so thankful to have connected with Theresa! When we adopted our dog he was very scared and shut down. She helped us learn about his body language and why he was acting the way he was. Her training method provided our dog with consistency and clear communication which helped him grow into a confident and happy boy! Theresa is very knowledgeable and was amazing to work with. She would even board our dog when we needed to travel which was an added bonus! I would definitely recommend her!

Theresa was highly referred to us by a local K-9 trainer/sporting dog trainer and I am so thankful we were able to get in with her. She taught our pup so much but I think she taught me even more so I can continue training my dog. With Theresa’s help, I can confidently say that I have the tools and resources to raise a happy, obedient dog in my family. I feel like she went above and beyond and had my pup, and my, best interest in mind. If you are looking for a dedicated, passionate and knowledgeable dog trainer (for a dog of any age!), look no further!

I can not begin to tell you about my journey with Theresa, without first telling you that my fur baby Roxie (a Yorkie) passed away on February 7 at age 15 1/2. At first, the thought of another baby was unthinkable. But the longer I grieved, I felt a new baby would fill this big hole in my heart so I got a Morkie puppy, age 8 weeks and began a life with her. I am 74 and I have arthritis and chronic fatigue. It had been a long time since I had worked with a new puppy. Roxie II was extremely aggressive and biting me all the time; breaking and pulling the skin and causing me to bleed. She also bit my husband who is on blood thinners. After 5 weeks, I was at my wit’s end and not having the kind of relationship I wanted with Roxie II. I had purchased hundreds of dollars of toys and chews but

We feel Theresa was was truly God sent. After years without a dog in the house, we decided we were ready to give it a go with a puppy. Within weeks we knew we were not as prepared to welcome this pup into the family as thought. Fortunately by fate or divine intervention we ran into Theresa as she was socializing another pup at a big box store. At this time our pup was 12 weeks old and we were trying anything and everything to get control of him, while pulling our hair, wondering what were thinking? Within a few work sessions with Theresa and her program, we were seeing the dog we had hoped for. We continue to use her program and we know we she is just a phone call away to help out if we need her. Both our pup and us are better off, as the lessons were tailored to our pup as well as teachin
