Dog parents choose Tiny & Friends for Vanessa’s experience, personalized attention, honest communication, and genuine commitment to every dog in her care.

“Vanessa is an exceptional dog trainer! Her expertise is impressive, and her genuine love for dogs shines through in her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented trainer. Tiny and Friends is a fantastic choice for dog training or doggie day camp.”
Walter M.

Vanessa is very kind and knowledgeable. She took good care of my dog. Very grateful and highly recommend.
Tyrah B.

Vanessa is ONE OF A KIND! She truly transformed my relationship with my dog. Her structured training helped him learn how to socialize while also becoming calm and obedient. The difference in his behavior and our day-to-day life has been incredible. This was such a Bette option for us versus an untamed dog day care.
I also boarded him with her and always had complete peace of mind knowing he was in safe hands. I’ll forever be thankful for Vanessa and everything she’s done for us.
