FirstBarkTodd’s obvious love and interest in dog and human training is infectious! His approach is positive and rewarding! Both of my dogs love Todd and we have enjoyed every single in person dog training session. The bonus is Todd’s training manual and introduction to new dog friendly environments knowing that socializing pets is key to better behavior! Serenity Dog Training is the way to go!

Questions & answers

Why does my puppy pee in the house five minutes after coming from outside?
Potty training can be stressful time for pet parents. My single session teaches the “mechanics” of potty training and helps you to develop a rigorous schedule of consistency so you can achieve your housebreaking goal in the shortest time possible.

My dog pulls on his leash so hard, I don’t enjoy our walks any longer because I can barely control him. Is there a way to stop him from pulling on his leash so we can enjoy our walks together?
I have helped countless people of all ages to gain leash control. Sometimes it’s a simple manner of having the appropriate equipment. Usually, it requires 3-1 hour sessions to teach you and your dog the four different types of walks, proper leash techniques and commands that will make walking fun for parent and pet.

Ava and I had a great experience with Todd. Todd’s method of teaching with positive reinforcement worked like a charm. He came always bearing gifts like puzzles and extra yummy treats. . I am looking forward to advancing into the intermediate program while continuing to work on all that we have learned. If you need a little extra help with your pup, Todd’s your guy. I highly recommend!!
I totally recommend this place!! Todd is a very good trainer. My Lucy just loves him. She/We learned alot.

My husband, Pup Ragnar and I recently had the pleasure of working with Todd , an exceptional in-home personal dog trainer, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From the moment he walked through the door, it was clear that Todd possessed a deep understanding of canine behavior and training techniques. Todd’s friendly and approachable demeanor immediately put Ragnar at ease and quickly became Ragnar’s favorite person. He took the time to thoroughly assess our specific needs and tailored a comprehensive training plan that addressed our main issues: walking on a leash, coming when called, and improving overall focus. One of the most notable improvements was in our walks. Before, my dog would pull on the leash and get easily distracted. Todd introduced effective techniques and tools that made a significant difference. Now, walks are enjoyable and stress-free for all of us. Another major area of improvement was recall. Todd used a combination of positive reinforcement and consistent commands that have made my dog much more reliable when called. This has been a game-changer for our outdoor activities and off-leash time. Finally, Todd helped enhance my dog’s focus, which has improved our overall communication and training efficiency. His expertise and guidance have truly transformed our daily interactions. I highly recommend Todd to anyone seeking a skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly dog trainer. The positive changes in my dog’s behavior have been remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful for the professional and caring support we received.
My 9-month old German Shepherd, Nova, recently completed the beginner obedience training with Todd. Nova has made amazing progress over the past 6 weeks, and Todd made the training so fun for him. We will definitely continue into intermediate training and would recommend Serenity Dog Training for all dogs!
