Hello!

We are the The Leash Less Traveled, we believe in balanced, relationship-based training - because the best results come from trust understanding, and teamwork. Every dog is unique, and we tailor our training to build confidence, communication, and lifelong success.

Our journey wouldn’t be the same without Manson, the heart of the company. He came into my (Tammy) life after being relinquished at a vet’s office due to “allergies in the home.” But beneath that story was a dog struggling with severe leash reactivity and dog aggression. After trying multiple training programs that didn’t quite fit, I took a different approach - focusing on building our relationship first. Over two years, Manson transformed into a superstar in obedience, trick training, and scent work. Today, he thrives in a home with six siblings, helps raise puppies, and serves as our beloved mascot, proving that with patience and the right training, incredible change is possible.

While The Leash Less Traveled is a new venture, my experience in the animal world spans over a decade, with five years of professional dog training. Beyond training, I’m actively involved in competitive dog sports, conformation, and volunteer search and rescue- because dogs aren’t just pets, they’re partners.

We’re here to help you and your dog navigate your own unique journey - building better bonds, one dog at a time.
