Our year old boxer pup Jones spent two weeks for on leash training/boarding. We were really concerned about leaving him for that long as he had never been anywhere but with us. We were thrilled to see a better behaved and perfectly healthy and well adjusted puppy when we picked him up. We learned a great deal about dog behavior from Stephanie, and could not be happier with his progress. We will likely complete the off leash portion with TMS soon.

The team at TMS K-9 spent a month with our puppy, Venus, while she went through their training program. It is phenomenal what they have accomplished with her and she really enjoys the stimulation! She is fantastic on a leash now, I have taken her to public areas with other dogs with no more pulling and struggling. And, she now understands how to communicate with us much better. She follows all of the commands that the team have worked on with her and she is extremely impressive with her overall behavior, especially for a 5 month old puppy. Thank you to all of the members who contributed towards our girl!

Our year old pup Daisy spent four weeks at camp. She came back a new dog with lots of learning under her belt. Really amazing what Stephanie and her team are able to accomplish with training in such a short time. Thank you!

We took our 10 month old, 80 pound Laborador Retriever to TMS K-9 Connections for a month of training. It was very hard to leave him somewhere for that long. He was a good dog already and we weren't sure the time apart would be worth it. Thankfully it really paid off. Stephanie and her crew took great care of him and he is now able to go on walks with no pulling or bad behavior. He heels right up to our left leg and the leash just hangs down. It's now a joy to go on walks with him. Before taking him to training he would pull on the leash or decide to take breaks by laying in strangers yards for minutes at a time. It's really a completely new experience. They even taught him off leash commands. We are very happy with his improvements and will likely take him in for more training at some point.

We had TMS train our 110 pound Newfoundland puppy in their two week program and are so pleased with the progress he has made. We are considering further training with their two week off leash course as well. Our boy is much better at following commands and walks well on the leash now.
