Trainer
Tatiana
Tatiana is excited to be part of such a wonderful team here at Classic K9 Academy. Prior to joining the the team, Tatiana went through a 3 month shadowing program with Eddie to fully understand and develop her own skills and confidence to guide families and their dog's to the results they've always wanted.
Tatiana's interest and passion in balanced training began with her girl, Norah. Their training journey together has truly opened her eyes to the amazing outcomes that balanced training can have not only in developing your dog’s general obedience, but also in building a strong and lasting relationship with your dog. Having a bond allows for the obedience to fall into place!
Tatiana wishes to work with owners to help them create a solid foundation with their dogs where they can continue to grow and thrive together.
