Scaredy Dog
Scaredy Dog is run by Laura Butler, a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy of Animal Behavior and Training. She has a passion for helping fearful dogs and has been working with them since her first experience with a fearful lab who was afraid of her own backyard. She also fostered a young lab who was terrified of everything and helped her to become more confident. These experiences led her to dedicate her life to rehabilitating scared dogs.
Training Philosophy
Scaredy Dog relies entirely on positive reinforcement and firmly believes punishment (as determined by the dog, not the owner) degrades the human-canine bond. Additionally, Laura believes that punishing a scared dog only increases his fear. That’s why she trains dogs in her care with lots of kindness, compassion, and good food.
Services
Scaredy Dog offers a variety of training services, including private sessions, day training, pet sitting, and a combination of pet sitting and training. Pet sitting is only available in the Moapa Valley. They also offer Zoom training services for those outside of their service area.

Customer Reviews
Laura is a gem… I was visiting Las Vegas from Los Angeles, and needed a trustworthy nanny for my movie star dogs, while we attended a pet industry trade show. Laura reliable picked up my dog each day from the conference center, strapped on her crash tested safety harness, and transported her back to our hotel room. She stayed with 3 of my dogs, feeding, playing with, relaxing with and walking them while I worked 18 hour days. Thanks to Laura, I was able to focus on my work, at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. She gave me photo updates, was easy to communicate with, and my dogs all loved her gentle and knowledgeable demeanor. The fact that she is a Karen Pryor dog training graduate is a rare bonus, because she uses all positive reinforcement methods handling dogs. My only complaint is that I can’t afford to move Laura to LA to work with my dogs full time! I am booking her in advance for my next business trip to Vegas. Thank you, Laura, for being so sweet and professional taking care of my dog kids!!!

We searched high and low for a sitter who is educated in dog training plus more as well as the ability to give love to our fur babies. We had used a sitter before and she was good however after about 2 months of using her we felt that our babies needed someone who was a little more loving just as we are towards our little guys. Enter Laura. She is truly a God send. Laura has dog training knowledge and is gentle/ loving with Bella and Bo. Bella loves everyone however Bo isn’t so outgoing. It takes him a while to trust. When Laura first met them Bo actually came up to her, a BIG surprise. The 2nd visit he was in her lap sharing kisses. Wow. So thankful we found Laura.

Fur Mama to Bella and Bo
This is the first time my husband and I went on vacation without our Corgis and have used a sitter. After reading Laura B. training and knowledge of dogs with anxiety etc. we decided to have her sit our two “fur babies”. Unfortunately by the time we were to leave on vacation our older Corgi, Lacee, passed away. We were concerned about leaving our other Corgi so close to losing her “sister”. We contacted Laura to let them know that our Lacee had crossed over “the Rainbow Bridge”. Laura sent us a text right away with her condolences and wanted to know how Prudee and our family was doing. Laura B. was so good with our Prudee, she went the extra mile and beyond to make sure Prudee didn’t get depressed over the loss of her sister and us being gone a few days. Laura sent pictures to us daily and took such good care of our “baby”. Laura B. is very professional and very knowledgeable; you can tell she really loves all dogs and takes care of them as if they were her own. Laura house sat for us too during this time. She took our trash out to the road for pick up and even washed our bedding!! We highly recommend Laura B. and will definitely use her again.

Fur Mama to Prudee
Laura is incredible! Our rescue pup has bad anxiety issues and nerves, Laura really took the time to understand her and give advice on how to help. She goes above and beyond a simple ‘pee break’ by catering to our dog’s needs. I have such peace of mind when I need to leave for long hours at work knowing Laura will be by to care for our furball. Her communication and availability is also great!!

Laura is an amazing pet and house sitter and takes so much stress out of our travel! My husband and I travel often and Laura has taken care of our dog and 2 cats twice in the last month. Right from the meet and greet I could see how good she was with our anxious dog. He warmed up to Laura faster than I’ve seen before with a new person. I appreciate the frequent updates she sends about the animals and just knowing that someone so responsible is watching our house while we’re away takes so much worry out of traveling. We’re booking her for 3 more stays this year!

Customer Reviews:
Andrea J.: Terric Canines is truly the best! Our family decided it was time to add a puppy to our home after being a cat only home for years. I was extremely nervous and anxious about how it was going to go with our 5 resident cats and whether they would accept each other. We rescued a 5 month old Chitbull puppy (chihuahua/pitbull mix) and I made the decision to utilize professional help from the beginning and within a week of Annie being here, I enlisted Terric Canines for help. Head trainer Tiffany was very responsive to my call and got me scheduled fast.
For starters, I was pleasantly surprised at the affordability and the convenient approach to training that Tiffany provides.
The first time, Tiffany came to our house and worked with Annie. I learned so many valuable tips on how to manage Annie and Tiffany answered all of our questions. I then enlisted Tiffany's help to train Annie to do better in public. We walked around Home Depot and Tiffany taught us so many techniques that we put into practice.
I look forward to signing Annie up for more classes with Terric Canines and learning more from Tiffany!
Sharon R.: Tiffany has been amazing in helping me train my two Havanese puppies, Jax and Max! I was getting nowhere with them so she came to my home and within the first session they were already behaving so much better! She has been to my house several times and each time she gives me such great advice, invaluable tools and lovingly guides the dogs to better behavior! Tiffany is so professional and always arrives on time. Even our old girl, Abby gets in on the session and loves being part of it. If you need help training your dog I highly recommend Tiffany! She’s AWESOME!
Moriah S.: Tiffany is wonderful!! She is really flexible with each family and dog’s individual needs. She has been creative in dealing with my two dogs and the things they need to work on as well as taking the time to include my kids in the training. She really takes time to listen and will even text me ideas. I’m really happy we found her!!
Lizé Mh: Tiffany is amazing she has helped my dog overcome fear of the car, be more obedient and calm. My dogs adore her and look forward to the lessons. I don’t have enough space to list all the good things. Best dog trainer ever!
Kim S.: HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I've worked with Tiffany for our reactive dog, and it's helped us so much to better understand what's going on, and what our dog really needs from us in order to overcome her triggers and become more confident and comfortable in situations. We've also recently begun training our new puppy with Tiffany, as well, and are so excited about it! I don't hesitate to recommend Terric Canines for your training needs.
Lindsey H.: Terric Canines is an invaluable resource for first time and experienced pet owners alike. Tiffany’s approach to training has helped strengthen my bond with my dog while allowing us to confidently participate in activities we love thanks to skills learned (bite inhibition, basic obedience, emergency recall, socialization) during the Star Puppy Course and private lessons.
Alexis: I have had a couple other trainers for my dogs and I can say with confidence that Tiffany is the only one who actually made a difference and her techniques have truly helped so much. It is very obvious that She is super passionate about her work and truly cares. We just completed our 6 sessions, and we can’t wait to continue working with Tiffany. Bonus- my picky hound loves her 😊
Kelsie C.: Fig is making excellent progress in reactivity with Tiffany's guidance! Stranger reactivity is common in her breed (Shikoku) but with Tiffany's help she's gaining back confidence and calm in public around new people.
Cindy M.: We got Freddie, our Goldendoodle at 7 weeks old!! He was super cute but obnoxiously naughty ~ barking, biting, leash aggression and house training are a few of things that we just could not figure out with him…ENTER Tiffany and Terric Canines ~ with the initial visit she had Freddie responding to her so I was hopeful that with more intense training he would do well! “Do well” is an understatement for how he came back to us…he truly is a different dog!! I can’t thank Tiffany enough…
Danielle M.: Tiffany was great! She was a perfect choice for our pup Coal and redirecting some of his bad behaviors due to his anxiety. She worked with Coal, and my family, so that we can better understand what was going on in his pup mind. I’m very grateful for her coming to our house and working with Coal! We could visibly see some behavior changes within the hour that she was here on just our first lesson alone! I highly recommend her, and love that she is caring and compassionate to the animals and ethical in her training methods.
Dustin W.: Tiffany is absolutely amazing, no matter the breed the size or the age. She can turn your puppy or butthead dog into the most well behaved and amazing dog. It really is amazing watching her train your puppy, and train you how to train your dog without improper punishment. 10/10 recommend.
David S.: Wow --- Tiffany is a dog magician. If I could have waved a magic wand and gotten everything I wanted to help us train our four-month-old Golden Retriever, it would have been just the same as what we got in a couple training sessions with Tiffany. She's super confident, competent and engaging, and best of all, she clearly loves dogs. Her approach is unfailingly positive, with none of the alpha-dog-dominance techniques of other trainers I've worked with. They say no one's perfect, but that doesn't appear to apply to Tiffany, dog-training-wise.
Pete: Terric Canines is quite honestly the BEST in the Flathead. Tiffany has been instrumental in helping myself and my Conie Corso Finley with training. Tiffany understands canine language, her training and suggestions has helped us get through bad behaviors. My pup was a bitter and one board and train 3-day session Tiffany turned Finley around.
Courtney: Perfect for us first time dog owners! I learned so many valuable skills and training tips from taking the puppy obedience course. I was thankful to learn training methods that were positive and allowed me to feel connected to my puppy! Tiffany really loves the puppies she helps train and was always very knowledgeable with answering questions.
Lindsey: She is amazing with my American Bully. I call her the dog whisperer. Also, super sweet and kindhearted. Absolutely trustworthy and professional. I highly recommended her.
Shanelle: I have been through several trainers. Either we didn't work out or I just didn't like their method. Tiffany is hands down the most kind trainer. She's prompt to respond to questions and she works with you if you can't afford a bunch of training. I couldn't be happier.
Mikayla G.: Tiffany is fantastic at what she does and has been such a valuable resource for my pup! She has helped my rambunctious Doberman puppy gain skill and confidence in his abilities, as well as has helped me as his owner gain confidence in him! With her guidance, we've worked hard on basic obedience as well as his leash reactivity and he is turning into such a happy, well adjusted, and well-behaved boy! 10/10 recommend all of her services.
Addie: Tiffany began training our Yorkiepoo Winston when he was six months old. We just added a Yorkie, Maggie Mae, to our family. She is 12 weeks old and we already started her training with Tiffany. She is an exceptional trainer and I highly recommend her.
Adriana: Tiffany is one of the best trainers I have ever come across. I got her number from the receptionist at my Vet's office. I am so glad I did. She has so much knowledge about dogs and their cognitive behavior. My husband and I have had dogs before and tried other trainers but nothing really stayed with us. After our first session with Tiffany we knew we had learned valuable techniques. Our black lab, Chevelle, is lovely but we were using a lot of old school ways of showing her we were in control. With Tiffany's guidance we are learning to read Chevelle's body language better and understand more on how she might view certain situations. We are being taught how to give her positive reinforcement and redirect her negative actions. Chevelle has taken to this training very well! I am looking forward to more sessions and the bond that forms between Chevelle and us. Thank you Terric Canines!!
Julie Scribner: Tiffany came to my house and worked with both of my dogs on learning “easy” and “off”. She gave me fantastic advice on dog behavior and their calming signals, which let me know that they are trying to understand these new commands. I was most impressed by her technique with teaching them the emergency recall, which was a priority with two labradors that like to wander when we hike. I have been working with them for just a few weeks and have seen a remarkable difference in their absolute attention when I make that call. It has already proven to work on at least two stressful occasions. Call Tiffany with your questions, I have no doubt she will have answers to help you.
Kati B.: Tiffany is very knowledgeable and professional. She works well with the dogs and people. A very helpful and enjoyable experience.
