Tracey is President and co-owner of Freedmanne, LLC.  After losing her beloved golden retriever Tanner to cancer in 2012, Tracey Manne started boarding dogs in her home..

Alex has been a dog daycare supervisor here at Tanners Canine Resort since August 2020.  There are two things that Alex loves in this world -- dogs and playing with them!   What makes working here so special is that each dog is like his own. He gets to love and play with each and every dog while being able to send them home at the end of the day --sort of like a doggie Grandparent!   In his spare time he loves taking care of his own dog Leia. 

AJ has been a dog daycare supervisor here since June of 2021. She ran track in high school and now uses that energy to run and play with all of the dogs in the yard. Her mom has two Goldendoodles and her dad has two Lab mixes, so she’s always surrounded by dogs. She’s known to have a soft spot for doodles and lab mixes as a result. 

Cam currently attends Bergen Community College online, and her love and passion for dogs brought her to work here at Tanners! When she isn’t with her work puppies, she spends her time training her own puppy, Indie! She is devoted to learning the ins and outs of dog behavior and training in hopes to open an in-home boarding business of her own in the future.
