She has been a warm source of encouragement and support throughout the puppy raising process. Most recently we trained with her in preparation for taking the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy test which my puppy then passed with flying colors. It's such a relief to have someone knowledgeable, experienced, and competent to help us reach our training goals. Renee has also been wonderfully understanding of my disability and willing to accommodate and adapt the training sessions as needed. Looking forward to training with her for years to come!

From our very first session, it was clear that Renee has a remarkable talent for connecting with dogs and understanding their unique personalities. Renee Cardoza utilized positive reinforcement techniques that made learning enjoyable for our pup and we saw remarkable progress in a very short period of time. Not only did our pup master essential commands and manners, he also became more confident and socialized. Renee provided us with valuable tips, both during our training sessions and in a follow up weekly email that included a review of our session, a review of the strategies for our "homework", and video links to illustrate the data's lesson. Impressive! Renee has empowered us to further the learning at home. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer!

It made training her while also dealing with a senior dog, really hard. Two weeks later our dog is well trained, well mannered and mindful of the senior dog's boundaries. There is still work to be done in terms of training, but Kehla and the Tempered Dog has given us and our dog, the tools to do it. The best way I can put it is our dog started the 2 week boarding speaking a while different language and by the time she came back, we were all speaking the same language and on the same page, which makes everything that much easier. Thank you Kehla, it was money well spent.

Ballerini line, Tan markings, Mini, Male, Blue, Tail intact (not altered). Eye patch(s). Mottled Body, Markings are acceptable. Fast forward about 8 months, Tina reached out about a new litter but unfortunately the timing was not right for us. A few months later, November 16, 2021 Stefani had her litter of 8 males and 1 female. We at last selected our new puppy! With our position in the reservation list, it took just about one year to receive our pup. From here, communication with Tina was once a week for about 8 weeks. Pictures and videos showing the pups growth and how their coat is coming in. The day of pick up, the ranch was neat and well kept. We were greeted by a few of the breeding heelers, they were very loving and wanted all of our attention. Tina brought over our pup and administered his first shot and provided paperwork along with it. She advised our next steps as new parents to an amazing breed. The entire experience working with Tina as our breeder was great and couldn't be happier. It is a process as noted on their website. So please be patient and respect the process. The only recommendation I would like to mention is improvement on the progression photos during the first 8 weeks they are born. Some of the photos of the pups were a little too distant and may have been screenshots taken from a video. Thank you again Tina!

Perfect Puppy. My husband and I rescued a heeler mix from the shelter a few years ago, and after…read morefalling in love with his heeler traits, we decided to get a puppy. I reached out to Tina because she had standard and mini heelers. After corresponding a bit, she said a standard is probably what we were looking for. While waiting our turn in line, Tina was extremely forthright and transparent and always answered my emails clearly and quickly. Once it was our litter, she sent weekly updates about our puppy with pictures. I agree with another reviewer that our lack of pickiness got us our puppy more quickly. Our biggest concern was size; we wanted a standard on the smaller side (no more than 40 lbs). Our pup is from Shelton and Hawn. At 1 year, he is 36 lbs, perfect for us. I have to admit, I was a little nervous bringing our puppy home at 6 weeks, since so many sites recommend 8 weeks minimum, but our puppy was weaned, healthy, and ready to go. Now, we have a sociable, intelligent, loving dog who fits into our family perfectly. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Lewis Ranch. Thank you Tina!

He is a pitbull who was "owned" by a homeless man and was beaten by him regularly. He was severely underweight and deemed dog aggressive by the animal shelter. Ruffles nursed him back to health and even took him to an animal behaviorist to assess his needs. He is now a happy, well-adjusted pup who lives with 2 other dogs and a cat. He even passed the Canine Good Citizen test. A year later we adopted another Ruffles rescue dog who was formerly a stray in Compton. She had also suffered abuse but was socialized and loved by Ruffles until we adopted her. She is currently a part of our pack without any issues. I cannot recommend Ruffles highly enough. The owner, Christina, has very high standards and always does right by her animals. I still support this rescue and donate to it often. Their mission is a lofty one and they never give up on any dog.

I believe the main person who was doing the evaluation was being given on the job training. Since then I went to another dog trainer who gave more useful advice.

Our experience wasn't with her and maybe I would fee different if we were to have worked with Rebecca.
