"Tracy is the best trainer I have ever seen. She is like a miracle worker. I have received so much insightful information from her; it's truly amazing. People frequently stop and say "what a well-behaved dog". It's an incredible pleasure to have a well-trained and happy dog." --Leslie Manzara, Wilmette, IL

"Tracy has a very upbeat positive attitude. She made me realize that Pepper was not a lost cause. I not only retrained my dog, I retrained me." --Betsy McLinden, Winnetka, IL

"Tracy provided knowledgeable, positive training, logical explanations of procedures, new focus each time, journal of behaviors since last training, as well as training time, goal setting at end of each lesson, thoroughness of lesson and involvement during lessons--kind and positive approach to both dog and owners. We couldn't have been happier with your approach and positive, upbeat personality. You conveyed an excellent psychological awareness of behavior. Thank you for showing us "the way." --Martha Hershenson, Lake Forest, IL

"I enjoyed the whole process but one of the best was seeing Buster so happy during training. My expectations were exceeded. You were always prompt, cheerful and encouraging. I appreciated the way you included my kids in the training and talking directly to them. It was a pleasure working with you!" --Susan Hicks, Wilmette, IL

"Tracy had an answer for EVERY issue. I never felt like what was going on with Coco was abnormal, or that there was anything that couldn't be trained. The experience was totally, 100% a great one...met all of my expectations." --Jennifer Falk, Northbrook, IL

"I really enjoyed Tracy's obvious love of dogs and her enthusiasm. She looked very professional and was very approachable and warm. She was great with Max and he liked her immediately. Thank you Tracy!" --Mary Kay McCollum, Racine, WI

"We loved watching Scout respond so positively to all the techniques. We never imagined how good this dog could be in terms of management. It was like she was just waiting for someone to come in and 'train' the family on how to make her a great dog! By the last session, Scout was so happy...a wonderful experience!" --Barry Family, Racine, WI

"Tracy was so positive, very diplomatic and refreshing. My training expectations were exceeded. By keeping me focused and on track, she helped me get the basics done with Jersey. Tracy was always polite, enthusiastic, engaging, and energetic." --Marge Rodino, Lake Bluff, IL

"I loved the specialized training for my personal situation. Ty was just over a year old, no formal training, a strong dog. I learned obedience methods that worked perfectly for me and Ty's personality. Ty controlled me before I worked with Tracy--now I'm in control and both Ty and I are very happy with that. Tracy is so positive, energetic, happy--great to work with--obviously loves dogs/animals. She had great ideas for me. Also, when I had a 'crisis' she was very good to talk to and more than happy to help out! She helped me make the right decision at that time!" Thank you very much!"  --Jodi Joffe, Northbrook, IL

"Tracy offered alternative approaches to all our excuses for our inconsistencies, which was most appreciated! We enjoyed Tracy's diplomatic approach to both of us--we needed to hear clear instructions and hers were always excellent. She was fantastic."  --Meg Boland, Highland Park, IL

"While walking through the Humane Society, Topaz captured my son's heart. She was 4.5 years old and had been abused. I had no idea where to begin, and that's where Tracy comes in. She came highly recommended by Havahart Pet Store. Tracy truly loves dogs and is able to reach them in a gentle yet firm way. She is able to teach owners how to communicate with our four-legged friends so that we can lead them in a happy and mindful way of life. Tracy is a dog whisperer, and an owner whisperer, too!"  --Dori Panthofer, Racine, WI

"I can't say enough about the training and the work and care that Tracy has put into our case. She is wonderful with our difficult dogs. Rory and Rusty were moments away from being put to sleep...their behavior has changed dramatically. Problem-solving is key--if anything doesn't work, try another approach. Detailed behavioral work with me and my dogs."  --Kit Schiele, Glencoe, IL

"You run a very professional business that has helped me become a better dog owner, something that will stay with me long beyond Clyde. Thank you--I couldn't have done it without you!"  --Melissa Brown, Caledonia, WI

"What we enjoyed the most about our experience with Waggin' Tails Dog Training was the quick results--we thought our dogs were incorrigible!" --Craig & Sandra Bayless, Winnetka, IL

"Within two days of adopting Mickey, I realized he had many bad behaviors that my previous dogs didn't have. I didn't know how to deal with them and was ready to return him when I decided to give an S.O.S. to Waggin' Tails. Tracy responded to my call, saying 'there's always hope'--and that was true. After just five sessions, Mickey's manners improved and he is now definitely part of our family. Thanks!"  --Karla Cavanagh, Glencoe, IL

"I feel that I knew very little about dog training, although I have always had dogs. Wrigley has the potential to be a great dog, I just needed the tools to make that happen. Tracy tells me a lot of information that would not be intuitive to me."  --Carla Lipe, Winnetka, IL

"Thanks for coming to Central School and teaching us about the importance of dog training. Your dogs were great with the kids and you gave a wonderful presentation. The class really enjoyed you!"  --Sandy Skibitzki, Lake Geneva, WI

"My Bulldog Mic's wild, jumping, aggressive behavior diminished when trained by Tracy as early as the second lesson! It also helped me gain knowledge on how to train for basic obedience. The training got me 'in tune' with my dog and who was going to be the boss. Tracy was knowledgeable, accommodating, courteous and extremely punctual! I can't say enough about the training lessons."  --Mary Michna, Niles, IL

"Tracy is exceptional! She cares about the dog and thinks creatively about how to handle challenging issues. Above all, she was tremendously supportive of me as an owner. Chester has been a challenging puppy and Tracy gave us some effective strategies to deal with him."  --Stephanie Joseph, Winnetka, IL

"Loved Teddy's response to Tracy's training style. We've had dogs for 25 years and learned tons of stuff we didn't have a clue about. Tracy is a great trainer of both dogs and their parents! Very nice job!"  --Tony & Carolyn Romito, Glenview, IL

"Tracy listened to our concerns with Scooby and showed us the easiest way to correct his problems. I was surprised at the results we received with Scooby. I'm very proud of what we've accomplished with Scooby and we keep seeing improvement after the training, as well."  --Laura Fanta, Racine, WI

"Millie is now a well-behaved family dog, thanks to you. You taught us how to take control. We now give her one word commands--once!--and reward her for her good behavior. She loves to please us. She's such a pleasure and we love her dearly. I was at my wit's end with her--thank you for bringing peace to our family!"  --Angie Norman, Northbrook, IL
