Hi! I'm Olivia Tiffany and I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer- Knowledge Assessed and completed the rigorous Karen Pryor Academy program. I only use science-based, positive reinforcement training methods. I strongly believe aversive methods such as prong collars and shock collars only invoke fear and frustration and put a mask on the bigger issues at hand. I like to focus on rewarding the pup for good behavior instead of punishing "bad" behavior. I have experience in training manners, advanced manners, puppy prep/socialization, tricks, agility, leash reactivity, intro to Nosework, and CGC prep and testing.

​

​I originally fell in love with dog training while working on leash reactivity with my pup, Sweetie when I adopted her in 2020 (yes, I was also a victim of getting a covid dog). My journey in the dog world began at DogBoys Dog Ranch where I eventually became the assistant kennel manager and a trainer. I've also worked for Zoom Room and currently work at EveryDog Austin (a nonprofit that helps make dog training more accessible through financial aid.) For a while, I focused on pet sitting full-time and started a business called Sweetie Pie Pet Sitting. While I still do it sometimes for old clients, I wanted to shift the focus of my business into training. This is the start of Sweetie Pie Pup Training!​

Oh and of course my business is named after my best friend, Sweetie Pie!
