I found Tandem Canines when I was in a local German Shepherd Facebook group. I was looking for ideas of good local trainers that were willing to train my German Shepherd that I adopted that has separation anxiety and leash reactivity. I saw someone recommend them and then the owner Jessica replied as well and we started training a few weeks later.

Prior to training I never would have thought I'd be able to take her around other dogs since training I already was doing was not working. Jessica was able to teach me more about the different German Shepherd working lines which was a crucial part for me to understand why previous methods failed.

Now my Sammi is more focused on we with walks, can be around other dogs with out reacting when she's on leash and behaves better at home. The best part is her spirit us not broken which I was worried about. She still runs around with her weird German Shepherd antics but now she listens. I also found out that her connection to me will make her a great candidate for service dog training which will be our next training.

I can't thank Tandem Canines enough for thier help and not just with training Sammi but me too. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs help with thier fur babies.

Our journey with Tandem Canines has been a true blessing in our lives. They have worked with us through reactivity, grief, all 3 levels of Canine Good Citizenship, dog sports and now Service dog training with our 2 Standard poodles. Jess and KB have helped build our confidence and truly have a strong bond we never imagined with Luna and Artemis. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants a stronger bond with their dogs. More...

I can not thank you enough for helping me with my furrbaby! I have had so many people comment on how well-trained my dog is. You gave us both the confidence we needed in groups and in public. Your training came in NEED tonight. The dog across the street was out and was starting to charge towards Lexi. Gave Lexi her commands and she stopped immediately and turned to look at me.

When I tell you I am a literally HELICOPTER dog mom when it comes to my sheps, there’s no doubt about it. The fact I felt safe enough for Tex to go and stay for a board and train, and literally feel at ease is a miracle. Jess and Katie Beth are top tier! The patience and knowledge they had for my Covid 3 year old was amazing. Tex has shown so much improvement, that I thought would never happen. I trust them and their training and business so much I’m even sending him and his brother back! They ensure they communicate, and will make sure to answer any questions you have. They are busy professionals who are training our babies, and ensuring no matter what they are taken care of. 💕 More...

Tandem canines training company has been a wealth of knowledge with training my German shepherd. He's always been a high strung dog and a lot to manage but with the guidance and tools Jess and katiebeth have given me and the hours they put in with a board and train and private lessons he is no longer reactive, I can take him in public, he rides in the car calmly and we can enjoy his company and be polite in the house. They are always available to answer my questions no matter how big or small, always work with our crazy schedule and help keep us in line. I'm a military vet and I give them my seal of approval!! Thank you tandem canines team! More...

*Edited below* I don’t know what’s happened to the company that had such rave reviews before. My dog has been there for 4 weeks in the board and train program, and I have had next to zero communication from the trainers about his progress. I was promised weekly emails and pictures/videos, and have not received that. Only a few videos from week 2 and that’s it. They’re unresponsive to messages, give excuses as to why they won’t communicate. I understand life can get in the way, but you’re still running a business and you’re taking care of our precious pets. I really hope my dog is ok and has actually received good training because I have no evidence to prove that. Supposedly he’s coming home tomorrow but I’ve received zero instructions on scheduling or procedures or setting up follow up lessons. *Edited to add- my dog did get home safe and sound, and has fantastic skills from the training. The trainers were going through a rough time and gave full explanation and took responsibility for the lack of communication, and have since gotten back on track and been great with follow up. They are truly skilled and knowledgeable with their training! More...

Jessica and Katiebeth are a wonderful, patient, and knowledgeable team! My husband and I were losing some hope in our 9 month old Belgian Malinois/ Mix. He was having behavioral issues mainly towards me (I.e. lunging, biting, bullying, and disobeying commands) and reactivity (leash pulling, barking, all the tingz). Jessica saw right through him at the first behavioral assessment! We were confident she would take good care of River and she has gone above and beyond in answering our questions and continuing to be of support after the Board & Training! Thank you 😭❤️👏🏽 More...

Recommend Tandem Canines! We opted for private training classes for our dog but I would absolutely have trusted Jessica and Katie Beth to care for my dog during their board and train program. My husband and I are both new to owning a dog and I think Jessica and Katie Beth educated us as much as they trained our dog! They were flexible with their time which I appreciated. More...

We recently sent our 8 month old Golden Retriever, Lucy, and 9 year old Corgi ,Penny, for the three week board and train. Jess and Katie did a wonderful job with our girls . Amazing to see the difference in behavior in everything from walking, greeting, impulse control to just overall behavior. Not saying my ability to duplicate theirs is 100% by any means but having follow up at home and seeing everything our girls can do, it’s a function of consistency on our part. Excited to see our girls potential after this and would highly recommend them for training. More...

The difference between the pup I dropped off for training and the pup I got back is night and day! We did the 3 week board-and-train with Jessica and it's amazing the amount of work that clearly went into it. My dog used to drag me up and down the street, now the leash has more give than I can hold! She was very responsive to my (many) questions throughout his stay and made sure the drop-off was thorough. I also love that she offers regular boarding so he can continue to practice his training while we're away instead of the chance he loses them while at a different place! Definitely recommend!

Our experience with Tandem Canines was amazing. We got weekly updates about our baby girl along with photos and videos. When she came home after the 3 week board & train, we could just tell she was a lot more well-behaved. There is a decompression period when they come home so accidente May happen but I can say that 4 days later, we have gone the whole morning without an accident! 👏🏼👏🏼 Jessica was amazing at being available to answer questions and we could tell she was really loving on our baby girl like she was her own. Thank you Tandem Canines for training our baby girl! We can’t wait to see what else she learns in the future!! 🥰 More...

If you're looking for a place to send your furry friend to learn some new tricks or simply become better behaved, look no further than the dog training camp! This place truly exceeded my expectations and provided my dog with an amazing experience. First off, the staff at the dog training camp are incredibly knowledgeable and caring. They took the time to get to know my dog and his specific needs and personality, which made me feel confident that he was in good hands. They also provided me with regular updates on his progress, which helped put my mind at ease while he was away. But the real standout feature of this camp is the training program itself. The trainers use positive reinforcement techniques to help dogs learn new behaviors and commands, which was really important to me as I didn't want my dog to feel scared or intimidated during the training process. They also tailored the program to meet my dog's specific needs, which helped him make progress quickly. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at the dog training camp. My dog came back home better behaved and more obedient, and I know that I have the staff at the camp to thank for that. If you're looking for a top-notch dog training program that truly cares about your pet, look no further than the dog training camp! More...

Loved working with Jessica when I first started my now retired service dog. She was helpful and patient with both of us. Especially when I was a brand new trainer and my dog is a rescue. Then we started with my service dog prospect. Things got tight for me personally so we had to cut the contract unfortunately. But I 100% highly recommend Jessica Rendon. I don’t brag unless someone or something deserves to be bragged on. Jessica is one that definitely deserves to be bragged about. More...

Our dog, Berta, completed a board and train. She used to pull on leash, not listen, and jump on people. Now, her leash manners are amazing, she doesn’t jump, and Jess took the time to go over what she did and how we can keep everything up. Jess is very interested in creating that partnership between person and dog. She also gives us insight into what our dog is feeling so we know the “why” behind what she does. We enjoyed working with them and seeing such great results. More...

We are so happy with the training we are receiving from Jess at Tandem Canines. She has an incredible knowledge in canine development. We have learned so much in our 6 months of her training program. Extremely professional and caring business owner. Toby was brought into our family as a puppy during the Covid pandemic. He was limited with any outside connection with other people or animals outside our four walls. Jess worked with us closely on a plan to correct Toby’s social issues and behaviors. We are now able to go on walks and be around strangers without barking or growling. He’s great with commands and direction. Currently, Toby is working with Jess on social walks with other dogs to further his confidence and maintain lessons learned. We love the friendship we have built with Jess and the wonderful training she gives to our Toby. More...

Tandem Canines Training Company came as a recommendation from a local dog group on Facebook and Jessica personally reached out as well. I email them and within a few days started communicating. Our boy at the time was around five or six months old (Golden Retriever) and my family had reached the point that we no longer knew where to go with his training as we had given some foundation but had hit a mighty big wall. Jessica came to our house for an eval and gave us a no crap where to go from there, Board and Train. After talking we sent our little golden boy to Boot Camp with Jessica and her magical team. We got updates every week, which included videos and pictures on how he was doing. After we picked him up, any questions we had Jessica and Katiebeth were willing to answer, even meeting up to talk about some in depth dog info for first time parents. They have been beyond helpful, and his training is getting better every day! He is not a service dog, purely a pet, and every time we go to Home Depot or Lowe’s people make comments at how well behaved he is and how he must be a service dog or in training to be and how their dog could never be out in public. Tandem Canines is family, and I highly recommend them to anyone. Picture of our boy, Archer, meeting some kind strangers in the Container Store. More...

Katherine and Jess are just great! My dog loves them after being in an intensive training. He came back as a different dog: calm, collected and very cooperative.

Now, he is able to self control! We have a good and proven way to communicate to each other.

Well... where can I start about Jess and Katiebeth? After a previous basic obedience experience, they assessed Chester's issues and identified the areas of opportunity for our 1. 5 year old Labrador Retriever and helped him (and also, us) to overcome them. Chester's behavior was obnoxious because he did not understand the concept of boundaries (not in an aggressive way but he was just 'in your face all the time'). After his first cycle of B&T, the behavior modification was impressive. What I find most satisfactory about them is (a) these gals do love what they do (b) they know what they are doing (c) they have this approach where dogs are 50% of the 'issue' but work with us humans as the other 50%. (d) Once your dog is back home, they are one text message away, their responsiveness is remarkable. I referred a good friend already and I do plan keep on doing it to everybody with dog training needs. Before Divine intervention brought us to them, I did my homework researching on services and while many others are soooo focused on 'capturing' customers through marketing, fluffing their services and making promises they probably cannot keep (like someone that once told me they could modify my dog's behavior via ZOOM in 5 30-min sessions), these gals put their money where their mouths are... and boy... They deliver!!! I feel they are friends now... and that for us is priceless More...

When we were looking for a board & train program for our Australian Labradoodle (ALD), we found Jessica at Tandem Canines. Jessica is not only a trainer but also a dog behavioralist, which makes her training even more impactful. I like that Jessica did not resort to an e-collar right away but rather spent the time training with positive reinforcement. It’s been 3 weeks since our ALD attended her 3 week board and train program and she’s doing great. She’s still a puppy and needs constant reinforcement but she has the foundation that I was looking for. I’ve been able to build on what Jessica has instilled and advance my puppy’s manners. Very happy with the team at Tandem Canines and for answering all my questions. More...

They have been the most patient, informative and kind people. We have a dog we are training to be a service dog and they are communicative in what and why they are training certain ways and why they do /teach certain things. I am not a dog person so when I get frustrated dealing with a new puppy they remind me what the purpose of the dog is and why we are doing what we are doing. I don't come by giving recommendations easily but I will never use another trainer nor will I suggest anything but Tandem Canines. More...

Fortunately, they took the time to understand my doberman from the first interaction and got to know us as a duo to help us in the best way possible. He can now go to busy places like La Cantera and Phil Hardberger Park to enjoy himself without feeling anxious or aggressive around people or other dogs!!
