A Howling Good Time Dog Training LLC

We can’t say enough good things about A Howling Good Time and our trainer, Tyrese. We enrolled our high energy Lab puppy in the one month advanced program because his resource guarding made life stressful with our small kids. From day one, Tyrese’s calm structure and positive reinforcement approach transformed our pup’s focus and manners. Each evening at pick up he walked us through that day’s skills, then followed up with clear training videos and quick, detailed feedback on the clips we sent from home. Having multiple “what if” options for every exercise made it easy to stay consistent and find what worked best for our family. In just four weeks we’ve seen huge progress: • Leash walks are now relaxed and fun. • He comes the first time we call—even in our unfenced yard. • Resource guarding at meals and with treats has almost disappeared. • No more jumping on guests; he greets politely and waits for permission. Most important, Tyrese equipped us with a solid toolkit so we can keep reinforcing good habits as our puppy grows. If you want a knowledgeable, patient trainer who partners with you for long term success, look no further than A Howling Good Time!

Kye went to “school” because he was reactive on walks and I was worried he would bite another dog or human. Tyrese saw that Kye was not confident and didn’t know who was in charge. In training Kye in the basics of walking, sitting and down on command, staying until I released him, etc, Tyrese was also training me how to be in charge which in turn made Kye more confident. This is making Kye less reactive and able to be around other dogs and people. Now I feel I have the tools to turn Kye into the special dog he is. Will be recommending Howling dog to all dog owners I know.

Like some of the other reviews on here we also had a Southern rescue pit bull/ blue heeler mix who was sweet with us, but was learning some very bad habits at his day care where he was able to run around without any sort of training. His reactivity to other dogs was getting worse and we were getting to the point where we were wondering if we could really keep him. We were doing some classes and some training that we had picked up from books, and there was some progress, but it only seemed to be working in low stakes situations where other dogs were not in close proximity. We found A Howling Good Time online and liked what we saw and took him in for the 4 week day training program. It was worth every penny! I think the most important part was the foundation that A Howling Good Time builds with your dog, he learned the good behaviors and was positively reinforced for those, and THEN you work on the corrections, but now he knows what to do. In other words you can't have corrections unless the dog knows correct behavior! So we now have a much better behaved dog, we have the tools to work to reinforce his good behavior, we have (more) structure that the dog can follow so that he knows what is expected. Basically went from from feeling that the dog was out of control to feeling more in control over the course of the training. However, I think the biggest takeaway that really hit home for me is the slogan that A Howling Good Time uses (and I paraphrase here) "There are no miracles, just hard work." You will still need to put in time with your dog, you will need to do the repetitions of behaviors that you want to see, but you will definitely have the tools that you need to make it happen, thanks to what you learn here.

This is one of the best dog trainers you will ever find! We took our cane corso to him and he never judged her for the breed she was which is what initially caught our attention. Tyrese has such great work ethic, patience and attention to detail. All of this translates into success you see with your pup! He worked around my busy work schedule where he could and always sent us home with pictures and videos to practice. He’s so responsive to your concerns. He even boards dogs and we have used that service countless times. He treats our dog like she is one of his own.
