ABOUT BBDT
There may be many ways of training that “work", but rather than teaching our dogs how to navigate stressful situations, these training methods only teach our dogs to simply avoid punishment.
Positive reinforcement-based training is so much more than tossing cookies around to our dogs. It isn’t “ignoring bad behaviors” either, instead, we are shaping our dog's behaviors and empowering them to make the best choices.
Meet The
Founder
Most behavior trainers have a dog that brought them into the behavior world, and Tiffany’s journey in founding Boss Babe Dog Training was no different. Nadia is the dog that started it all, earning the nickname “Naughty Nadia”. She was adopted by Tiffany as an adolescent, and let’s just say she was not prepared for the rollercoaster of behaviors Nadia exhibited. On leash reactivity? Check! Dog selective aggression? Check! Arousal Control concerns? Check!
Tiffany soon realized that in order for her to support Nadia, she needed to learn more…and that’s exactly what she did. Tiffany read all the books, attended all the seminars, began certification programs, and supported Nadia in becoming the only sometimes Naughty girl she is today. Along the way, Tiffany's education grew into a passion. She began training and taking private clients, and soon Boss Babe Dog Training blossomed. Tiffany has immense compassion and commitment to working with both the dogs and the humans through training, and can’t wait to see how BBDT continues to grow!
