FirstBarkWe're so grateful for Toby! He taught us so many strategies for our energetic little puppy. She responded to him and to the strategies so well and, while we don't seem to have the exact magic he has with dogs, we do now have some effective tools for keeping her happy, engaged, and eager to please.

Toby is amazing! A true professional and helped address reactivity in various settings: neighborhood, in the home, the mall, and dog park! With previous trainers, I was losing hope but Toby is a lifesaver!! Taught so many new methods!! Wish we met him sooner! Thank you, Toby!
Training Valkyrie with Toby has been a wonderful experience & journey full of laughs. I look forward to using all the skills and resources taught by Toby. I highly recommend Toby for his knowledge and well thought out detailed lessons. I urge you to use K9 Consulting for all your training needs :) Thanks so much for all your help and support with Valkyrie !!!!

We had an incredible experience training our Great Dane puppy, Rocco, with Toby at SoCal K9 Consulting. We completed both the puppy training and service dog training programs, and the transformation in Rocco has been amazing. My husband has experience with big dogs, but Rocco is my first, and Toby has done a fantastic job not only training our dog but also training me! Toby is exceptionally professional, patient, and thorough with every lesson. He takes the time to ensure both you and your dog understand the training, and he's always willing to address any questions or concerns. His knowledge, dedication, and genuine care for the dogs he works with truly set him apart. We’re so grateful for his guidance and highly recommend SoCal K9 Consulting to anyone looking for top-quality dog training!
