  • Dog training is both a science and an art.
  • Every relationship is unique.
  • Learning how the owner and dog relate to each other is what makes training effective.

I have greatly benefited from online coursework with my dog and the incredibly skilled training provided by Tecla Walton! I have done both in-person and virtual training for obedience and behavioral concerns and find the virtual learning environment to be so productive!

I have been training with Tecla for about 5 years. From puppy classes, to rally and also sport work. I have been fortunate to train in person and also through her virtual platform. I recently graduated from her virtual obedience class and it was easy to use and was just as effective. The time and effort that she takes in planning and presenting her lessons is amazing!

Tecla Walton is simply, unarguably one of the best dog trainers you will find. Period. I have known Tecla for over 12 years and have trained multiple dogs with her. I have taken puppy classes, basic obedience, advanced obedience, rally and had private lessons. All of her classes were always detailed, structured, highly valuable and effective.
