Tomas has been such a huge help in our training with our two-year-old dog! Because we got her in the middle of the pandemic, we never actually took her to a puppy training class and instead did some online video training. While she is overall a well-behaved dog and knew some basics, Tomas has really helped us to nail down the basic commands, reduce her leash reactivity and improve her recall. His methods of treat-based positive reinforcement, along with clicker and whistle training, have helped our dog become much more responsive to us in the last month and a half. Plus, our dog really loves the mental stimulation of all of our training sessions and “homework” sessions each week! I highly recommend hiring Tomas for your dog training needs.

We have had an incredible experience working with Tom. My husband and I adopted 2 labs (ages 2 and 3) who had little to no prior training. We used the package of 9 classes and it is hard to even believe how far our dogs have come in 9 sessions! Tom provided us with manageable "homework" each week, gave us many wonderful ideas for products to use at home (whistles, treat bags, gentle leaders, etc.) and was very open to our own ideas and thoughts as well. We began by working with one dog at a time during sessions and worked our way up to training both dogs simultaneously. The first half of our sessions took place in our home while we worked on basic commands, and the second half of our training took place at a local park to work on coming when called, leash work, and off-leash work as well. Also, our dogs LOVED training, and could hardly contain their excitement seeing Tom each week. We will absolutely recommend Tom to anyone with any training needs!

We had a great experience with Tom. First, we messaged him on a Sunday not expecting to hear back until Monday, but he replied in only a couple of hours and even set up an informational call that day. As for the training session, Tom arrived promptly, tailored his methods to our pup's needs and personality, and thoroughly explained everything. We learned so much! Would definitely recommend Tom!

Tom is an amazing training. Our three dogs love him and we will continue to have Tom train them in their different stages of their lives. Our Bernese was extremely skittish and ever since he started with Tom, he is confident, obedient and much more curious when he is at the park. I highly recommend Tom. Claudia

Tom did a fantastic job for our family! He worked with our large, high-energy, adolescent labradoodle over four sessions and taught us how to eliminate the chewing, toy-stealing, jumping, and leash-pulling behaviors that were creating chaos in our house. Tom was professional, focused, and gentle with our dog, and our whole family has benefited hugely. Highly recommended.
