The Guiding Leash Dog Training and Behavior Solutions, LLC.

The best! My sweet little dog struggled with anxiety and staying calm on walks. I sent her for a two week stay with Tim and she came back a new dog. She's so much calmer and learned how to stay in place and how to heel. It's adorable! Tim is a really thorough and great at training both dogs (and their humans!). I realized that some of my behaviors were definitely enabling my dog's anxious behaviors. Still working on that over here :) The training doesn't stop after the stay and train program. Tim sends you home with all the tools and education you need to continue the training at home. He sends detailed training tips, videos, games, you name it, plus essential items like a remote collar, place mat and slip leash. I also want to add that Tim is just generally kind, patient, warm and flexible. He is very passionate about what he does and your dog will get the best treatment and learn so much!❤

Sending my dog to Tim was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My dog, Bailey, is a senior pup - she'll be turning 9 this year. It just goes to show there is never a time that's too late to try and work on training with your dog. Tim has a phenomenal approach to training that put me at ease very quickly. He's extremely knowledgeable, very in-tune with dogs, and understands that every dog is different and has a different pace of learning. Aside from general obedience, I sent Bailey to work with Tim because she has a lack of confidence and was reactive to other dogs on walks. It was hard seeing her struggle in certain situations or get stressed out. I sent her to Tim for a full 4-week program. When she came back, of course she knew things like heel, place, come, learned boundaries, etc. Those were all things I expected as I'd gone through them with Tim beforehand. The things that were so wonderful to see was that she can go on walks now and not get aggravated by other dogs or get stressed out by dogs passing. She has much more confidence and it's only helped other anxieties she has - the more confident she is in herself, the more she's okay not being attached to me and fully depending on me. The other thing that's so great about Tim is he really makes sure you're set up for success when your dog comes home. In addition to the detailed emails he sends along the way of your pup's journey, he spent a long time with us practicing commands, walking, and gave me printouts and emails that had all the information in it. He also has so many video resources. And even better, he goes into explaining why certain tactics work and why your dog responds well to certain things. He dumbs it down into language and something I can digest and really understand. Although it's immensely difficult to be apart from your dog for 4 weeks, I always knew Bailey was in good hands. Between his emails and the Instagram updates, I always knew how Bailey was doing and was reassured. She came back happy as a clam. I'll be utilizing Tim's boarding program from time to time when I need to go away for sure. Thank you, Tim for everything you've done for Bailey!

I’m not sure we can adequately describe how grateful we are that we found Tim at The Guiding Leash. He is a true dog whisperer! We are a family of 5, first time dog owners and realized we wanted some extra help. After an almost 2 hour phone consultation with Tim, we knew our girl Remi would be in the best hands. His attention to detail and his natural passion for dogs was incredible. It was hard to send her off for 4 weeks, but Tim put as at ease right away. And we never questioned our decision for a second. He posted a video and/or picture every day and sent a detailed email every week with her progress. He was quick to respond to any questions or general comments we had along the way. It was clear from the videos that Remi was very happy staying with Tim and it quickly became one of the best parts of the day when we got an update! Once Remi came home, Tim spent almost 2 hours with all 5 of us going over all she learned, training us on the collar and practicing outside. The best way to describe it is - we now have the tools to properly communicate with Remi and she understands. Before her time with Tim, she wasn’t “difficult,” but it felt like we were on one page and she was on another. Now, we feel like a team! It has reduced a lot of stress because now we know how to guide her. Tim continues to be incredibly helpful and answers any questions we have. He truly loves to hear how Remi is doing and receive pictures. We already have her booked to stay with Tim for some future travel and it’s the best feeling knowing that she will be in such good care! In fact, the first time he came back to pick her up - she couldn’t have been more excited. She loves being with Tim and her pup friends! Tim, we can’t thank you enough and are thrilled that we (and Remi!) will always have your guidance!
