Dog Training of Tampa Bay, Inc.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Dog Training of Tampa Bay! They’ve trained two generations of our dogs, and we could not be happier with the results. Their approach is patient, consistent, and full of positive reinforcement—our dogs absolutely LOVE them! We have found the immersion Board and Train program to be worth every cent/minute. Lessons are well-structured and tailored for our dogs’ individual personalities, and we’ve seen such lasting results both times. The training videos of our dogs they send to us help us to be better pet owners! If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your dog’s success (and yours!), we highly recommend Dog Training of Tampa Bay. They have become a trusted part of our family’s dog journey. 🐾 p.s. Our girls LOVE to visit Melody, their training representative, and that assures me their training is balanced with love!!

We left our Golden Retriever puppy with Natalia and Melody for the board and train program. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They’ve done an incredible job! Her walks are now a breeze, and she’s a well-behaved puppy overall. Her Golden nature hasn’t changed at all. Not only did they train her, but they also loved and took care of her. After the board and train program ended, they provided us with a two-hour lesson. Melody even came to our home for a follow-up session. We’re always welcome at the facility for any additional sessions.

I've had both Natalia and Grace train dogs for me and both have done a WONDERFUL job. I got constant texts, photos and videos. Natalia trained our blind, 2 yr old Great Dane (Rolex) and Grace trained our 8 mo old Great Dane pup, Poppy. We just got Poppy back from Grace after 4 weeks and she is a different dog. MUCH more responsive, especially with the recall, which was a HUGE issue prior to training. Most importantly, she retained her happy-go-lucky, sweet baby girlness. It is very clear to me that dogs LOVE their trainers.

My family adopted an 11mo German Shepard and he turned out to have Dog Aggression, Human Aggression and a very high Small Prey Drive - He tried to kill our cat several times (the cat is quick) tried to bite guests (guests would try to pet him even though they were told NOT to pet him or try to engage him). So after about 1.5 years of training with other trainers we were referred to Natalia and Ivan by a breeder friend we trust immensely. Zeus spent 7 weeks with Natalia and her team and our only regret is we didn't send him to her sooner, not only did she ease his DA so we could go out in public, he has become buddies with our cat and has even befriended strangers on nightly walks! I NEVER thought I would see the day where he and Chief (the cat) are buddies and while it did require maintaining his training and some time, it was the best thing we ever did. He did not lose his personality, he was not shocked into submission, Natalia created a relationship with him and with us and taught us how to properly engage with him and train with him. We were so happy with the results we sent another dog to her for training. If you are at your wits end and don't know what else to do. Go see Natalia - She is truly spectacular.

Natalia did a great job training our 3 year old St. Bernard. Not only does she know her stuff when it comes to dogs, she treated us and our dog (Atlas) like family! I would recommend anyone with any bread of dog to go to her for training!
