TLC Canine Coaching

We had the absolute best experience with Tonya! She boarded our mini poodle, Peaches, for 10 days and worked on potty training, basic obedience, and leash skills. I honestly can’t believe the difference, she came home feeling like a completely new puppy. Tonya took such great care of Peaches while also giving her the structure and training she needed. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to bring out the best in them. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would recommend Tonya to anyone, no matter what breed or type of dog you have. Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog that needs training, she is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and caring. We are so grateful for everything she did for Peaches and can’t thank her enough!

My rescue puppy had become a cute little source of stress for me and after enrolling him with Tonya for the 1 month board and train, he returned to me as a NEW DOG. He has not worn a leash ONCE since his time with Tonya, and has perfect obedience, recall, manners, and confidence. He gets compliments EVERYWHERE we go for his behavior and obedience, and this has opened the door for a stress free and enjoyable life for both of us. He's gone through four international airports off leash and in a perfect heel, we walk on the side of busy roads, no leash, perfect heel. The world is now our oyster and I cannot thank Tonya enough - she's obviously highly experienced and a very hard worker, but... she cares. I cannot recommend her enough, I would do it again and pay triple, there is NOTHING more wonderful than a dog who knows the rules, I wish more people would do this for their dogs, the world would be a better place. Thanks Tonya! Sean & Pancho

Mongo is the third large dog that has been a member of our family and the first dog we have ever sent to training. Tonya was recommended to me from a close friend that was ready to give up on her out of control dog. She sent her dog to Tonya and was so happy with the results that I opted to give her a try with a very active 1 year old large Bernedoodle. That was 9 years ago and Mongo is still the best behaved dog I know. The only comment my husband had was; Why didn’t we do this with the other dogs? along with, it was worth every penny!!! Tonya took Mongo for 6 weeks and when she was done training Mongo she trained us. Her training is clear, precise and easy to maintain. There is nobody I trust with our Mongo like I trust Tonya. She clearly loves the dogs and is professional, calm, an expert dog trainer. Even today when a lot of dog owner struggle to give their dogs medicine, Mongo comes, stands and allows us to easily put eye drops in his eyes. No fuss, no struggle, just stands there until we are done! I will never own a dog without sending them to Tonya. Her training has made our lives with Mongo so much more enjoyable but also has given him a real quality of life knowing what’s expected of him and how to behave, win, win!

Tonya is the best trainer! We got her info from a friend who jogged by our home, dog running obediently by her side, without a leash! We didnt realize that was possible. With Tonya’s training, it is. We are first time dog owners and her first question asked what rules we wanted for our pet? On the furniture or off? Greet people at the door or stay in place when the doorbell rang? We appreciated being able to decide what we wanted and that she trained our dog to fit our expectations. Not to mention, our dog absolutely loves her and she loves him!
