I currently reside in Montana where I am raising two children, four dogs, three budgies, and one gigantic 12 year old gold fish.
Everything I have done so far has lead up to what I am doing now, and I love it.
I am inspired by my work and life with my family, and if there is one thing that drives me it’s inspiration. Everything that surrounds me is creative and constantly changing, sometimes a bit too much, but it’s all good really.
I am the Founding Owner and Head Trainer at Paws & People, an integrative dog training business, established in 2003. But this is very much a family business, and this has been a journey together.
Working in a hog barn with puppies one day, and flying to New York and appearing on Martha Stewart the next. We recently opened our Dog Gym, and it is another amazing adventure that I am very proud of. I am fortunate to now travel all over the world giving workshops and lectures on all things dog.
In 2011 I started The Scent Project, bringing the goodness of the garden to our clients, both furry and non furry alike. And it smells ridiculously good! This little company surprises me daily and grows little by little, just like a garden. From Mother Nature, through my hands, to you and your dog… this sums it up pretty well!
My garden is where I have thrown out my taproot. It’s my grounding place, my dirt in the finger nails place, my take a deep breath place, my time to think space. I’m grateful that my children and dogs love it as much as I do.
And then it all comes together in the kitchen. For all of us.
If you’d like to contact me, please do!

Nancy,
So proud of you!!!
Thanks Bob, some day it would be nice to see you face to face!
Nancy – thanks for dropping by my blog. I will tell my massage theapist about your scent project. She shows flat coat retreivers and has several dogs.

Hi Anne,
your photos are gorgeous and have so much ‘emotion’ attached to them! Thanks for passing on info about our scents, I am learning that our best clients find us this way!
Cheers!

Jim I hope you had a good one too! NIce to chat with you as always!
Sweet Nancy, I just put a blog out about Chancy and your sweet Chiquita. I will think of that sweet baby often and I am sure the tears will come each time. What a heart-breaking story. If you want to see what i blogged here is the link http://chancythegardner.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/another-heart-stealer-like-me/ I am so happy we have connected here in cyber land. Big hugs for you dear Nancy.
I am glad you saw the resemblance too. It was totally by chance I found you, but the photo of Chancy really opened up some feelings I think I had locked away. It was important to revisit them. So thank you for your posts and photos and sharing your Chancy, there are good people and great things in life. And hopefully more love out there to be found!
Nancy, Thank you for visiting my little blog, and your sweet comment. I’m so glad Jimmy makes so many people smile!
And after visiting over here–I just want to say your above paragraph that begins.
“My garden is where I have thrown my taproot…” literaly….is how I think of myself and my garden. Nice to meet you fellow gardener, and animal lover!

Hi Nancy, you have a great blog, and just wonderful dogs. I’d like to read more.:-)
Have a lovely week.
Greetings from the Far North
Dina
Thanks Dina,
I hope you are staying warm in the far north!
Hi Nancy, a friend shared your post with me today and I really enjoyed it so much. We’ve been lucky to have two dogs as part of our family in the past. Both really good boys. I enjoyed watching you and Story (cute name) on Martha, what a thrill. That’s my favourite thing about Martha Stewart, she loves animals too.
thanks, I love meeting fellow dog lovers. We have things in common before we even know each other!
Are you the Nancy Tanner who wrote the Dear Editor letter in the Bozeman Chronicle’s May 12th paper? (If not, sorry! Ignore this!) If yes, congratulations! What a well-written, informative letter. When I first heard the story (knowing nothing of the sheep owner), I was thinking exactly what you wrote in your letter. Why would someone not protect their sheep? I thought, “What a stupid person!” Now I realize that it was a deliberate act of hatred. Ugh. Anyway, great letter.
Hi Sunni,
yes that was me. Thank you for finding me on line and dropping this note. Apparently many people feel the same way, e-mails and phone calls are saying the same thing. I hope more folks speak up, for the sake of, well, everything. Cheers, Nancy
