Britt Winchester
5/5

Timothy was absolutely incredible. He helped me learn clicker training with my 8 week old puppy. He walked me through many examples and explained the theory and nuance behind it. If I'm ever struggling with training again, I know who to call!

5/5

Tim is an ABSOLUTE life saver! He has a way of explaining things that REALLY hit home! My dog, was completely out of his mind with stress and anxiety when we started the lesson, he was a different dog by the time Tim was done with us, in an hour!!! This is Duke on the ride home from our session. He NEVER sleeps in the car!!!

5/5

Very Knowledgeable! In just one session my boy and I are both on the track to being more confident. He had my reactive anxious pup relaxed in public for the first time.

Julia Curren
5/5

In just a few sessions Timothy helped me understand so much about my dog’s behavioral cues as well as corrective/training techniques that can be used in almost any scenario or for many desired behaviors.

Great first training/behavior session with Timothy. He is easy to work with and a wealth of information about dog behavior. Highly recommend Dog Basics PDX.
