FirstBarkWe are so glad we hired Toby at SoCal K9 consulting to train our 9 week old Golden Retriever puppy who has learnt to sit, stay, come, down, place etc etc - she really loved Toby who was so kind with her- we made the perfect choice and look forward to continuing our training in the future. He really cares about the dogs and their environment and we are thrilled!

I have a 85lb Goldendoodle named Raleigh who is the sweetest boy but when first meeting new dogs he can act aggressive until he gets to know them. With our Los Angeles house on the market and a cross-country trip to Lakewood Ranch pending in a 1 1/2 months, I reached out to Toby to help get our doodle ready for the trip. After 5 sessions I felt much more comfortable about our journey. I am happy to report we arrived in FL a few days ago after a six-day trip and our experience with Raleigh couldn't have been better! Thanks SoCal K9 Consulting!! I highly recommend SoCal K9 Consulting.

I shall miss you my friend, Toby!!! I'm going to manufacture an excuse to see you again, for sure. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for patiently and expertly imparting your vast knowledge of dog training and the positive management of annoying puppy behavior. You have literally made the difference between my husband and I considering rehoming our Nena and ultimately deciding to keep her. Stupidly, we were initially totally unprepared to manage Nena's rambunctious puppy (mis)behavior. But due to your support and guidance, we decided to keep our sweet puppy. Now we cannot imagine life without her. You are simply the best!
Great experience all around. Toby is very knowledgeable and helped me prepare my pup for plane rides and for hitting her marks on training and tasks. Very impressed.
