WHO I AM
Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out my website! My name is Tristan, I’ve been working with dogs professionally for about 7 years now! I work with all breeds, behaviors and ages (it’s never too late to start training)!
I’ve had animals my whole life; dogs, cats, horses, goats, and showed pigs in high school, safe to say my passion is in animals! I started out as a vet tech (with goals of eventually becoming a veterinarian), and found I was more drawn towards the behavior of pups and helping them in that aspect instead.
I have enjoyed every second of this journey training dogs! I love helping owners build the best relationship with their dogs and enjoy freedom, it’s the most rewarding career to me!
I offer puppy lessons, private lessons, and private lesson & day train programs, reach out to me so we can discuss what would be best for you and your best furry friend!

Tristan was the best thing that we've ever done for our corgi, Dexter. Before Tristan we didn't know how to effectively understand or communicate with Dexter. Our sweet little guy was having reactivity to not only the leash but other dogs that we'd see while on our rare walks and would ignore all door boundaries to go bounding out after anyone who came to our door. After two weeks with Tristan, we have the tools to understand what Dexter needs and is telling us and how to teach him not just the skills that we worked on with Tristan but new skills in the future.
During our sessions Tristan would clearly explain everything that she was doing, recorded important sections of our sessions and provided the videos to us with recaps to help with our at home practice, and was available to help with all of our questions and concerns.
We cannot thank or recommend Tristan enough for the amazing work that she has done with Dexter and her incredible patience and understanding while training us too!

Before training with Tristan, we felt anxious and unsure about what to do with our german shepherd, Spartacus. At home, he was such a cuddly and loving dog with us. But, around other people he showed signs of fear, growling, and biting. We felt like we had no choice but to keep him on a leash or in his kennel to keep him and other people safe. We felt so guilty for having to choose between being social with other people versus staying at home with him. Then, we found Tristan who showed us how to work with our dog to teach him how to be around other people. She taught us how we needed to respond with him around others so that he and other people were safe. In 3 weeks, our dog learned to become comfortable wearing a muzzle, where to go when we tell him or need him to stay away from people, how to stay attuned to us even with distractions and feel more comfortable around other people. Not only did our dog learn the skills he needed, but we as owners learned skills we needed to feel more confident and comfortable with our dog being around other people. Hiring Tristan, was easily one of the best and most helpful decisions we made and would highly recommend working with her.

I found Tristan from someone recommending her on a Kyle Facebook group. I really did not know what to expect, especially with our stubborn poodle with a mind of his own! We have had trouble in many areas with him, especially his anxiety and lashing out. But after just 10 sessions I feel ready to continue on with his training with the tools that she has set us up with, both physical and mental, and the right commands. She spent so much time and effort on our family that we felt well cared for. She always showed up prepared and ready to get to the best progress that we could achieve, while still keeping it positive. She is energetic and shows a real love and understanding of dogs. She does give homework, but the more you put into it, the more you and your dog will get out of it! So thankful that we were able to have her service. - Veronica, dog mom of Tokyo, 1 year old poodle mix

I am going to start this review off by saying that I don’t typically like to write reviews, at all. However, I cannot let the world go on without telling y’all about Tristan Bill. I had first heard of Tristan on Facebook, through everything on Kyle. I was in search of a dog trainer because my German Shepherd (5yrs. Old) and Corgi (1yrs old) really needed to understand that I was their owner and not the other way around. When I got into contact with Tristan, she was very quick to respond and get the consultation and sessions started, which made an impression on me. At first, I had set low expectations because I’ve tried training at Petco before and they taught my dogs little tricks rather than managing behavior and outburst, which again, I have a German Shepherd and Corgi. Our first meeting is when my expectations changed. She asked what I was looking for in training and explained her training background to me. Right then and there I was willing to give her everything and anything I owned to help train my pups. From the very first lesson I saw potential in my dogs, which was crazy because it was the very first lesson. However, I stuck with her and did all the “homework" that was assigned and practiced with my dogs. What I appreciate most about Tristan is how fun she made training for both me and my dogs. Who knew you could have so much fun teaching a dog how not to lunge like a maniac at other dogs while walking them, not me! She is a very professional, punctual, respectful, communicative pleasant, and knowledgeable human being. You can tell she loves what she does and is very genuine. She was very easy to get along with, even my dogs loved her. I can say after our 4-5 sessions of training, that my dogs have a had an exponential growth in their behavioral issues. I am much more confident in public with my dogs all because of Tristan and her ability to train. If I had any questions after our sessions she would answer quickly and not me leave to fend for myself. Even after we completed all of our sessions, she is more than willing to answer any questions I have through email/text. She is an AMAZING trainer who deserves all the attention. She even gave me advice on puppy daycares and food brands that would be more beneficial to my dogs. She also gave recommendations on certain materials and supplies that could help make training easier and more successful, and guess what? She was right about those recommendations 100% of the time. She is someone you can put your trust in. I can go on and on about how great of a trainer she is. Regardless, I would give her 5 stars. If I could give her more, I totally would. She deserves all the stars in the world. Thank you Tristan for being such a positive influence in my dogs life and even in my own life. You deserve all the success in your career! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND TRISTAN AS A DOG TRAINER!!!!!

Tristan is truly the best dog trainer! My two-and-a half-year old dachshund, Zoey, had developed some stubborn habits and was an avid barker at the slightest of sounds. With only four trainings, Tristan was able to help me develop the commands and skills I needed to encourage Zoey to be her most well-behaved self! Tristan’s expertise on how to properly train with the E-collar and have it be a positive experience for me and my dog has not only corrected her bad habits, but has allowed for her and I to have a better relationship where she willingly listens and focuses despite distractions — all thanks to Tristan!
