What makes Training That Lasts different from other dog training companies?
We teach you how to get your dog to follow through because they trust you, not because they fear you, and not just for food. We use positive reinforcement like treats to mark the right behaviors, but the real secret is in your timing, your tone, your posture, and your consistency. We show you how to create clarity, not confusion. Dogs aren’t robots, they need structure and leadership that makes sense.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Yes. But not with quick fixes or bark and e-collars. We help the dogs with big feelings, the ones that lunge, growl, snap, or shut down. We use behavior modification, desensitization, and counterconditioning to change how your dog feels about their triggers, not just how they act.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Absolutely! Real-life behavior happens in your living room, your yard, your front door. That’s where we want to work. Our behavioral consultations give us the full picture and allow us to customize the plan for your home, your routine, your family and your dog.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Before the bad habits start. We recommend starting between 8-10 weeks and continue on as that’s your golden window for socialization and foundational skills like crate training, leash exposure, and bite inhibition. Early training prevents future headaches. Think of that first few months like preschool for your dog.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
We offer Behavioral Consultations as a starting point to equip you with the tools you need to build a bond while learning to communicate together. We also offer puppy development, group sessions, structured walks, board-and-training, and 1 on 1 Training sessions. More importantly, we teach people how to lead their dogs with connection and consistency... because a well-trained dog without a well-informed owner still has a problem.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
A structured walk is a focused, leash-guided walk where your dog stays by your side. It builds impulse control, respect, and connection, not just exercise. You lead, they follow. Structure first, freedom later.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
No. We do not use shock collars, e-collars, or any form of electronic stimulation. We understand their place but we don't recommend using them. Our philosophy is rooted in trust, communication and building connection, not control through discomfort.

We recently had the pleasure of having Tyler come to our house to help us with our rescue dog and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. Tyler spent two hours working with our family and during that time, he was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. Our rescue dog came from a not so good home and exhibited some dominant and aggressive behaviors towards our older male Chihuahua, which we found challenging to manage. Tyler‘s experience in dealing with such issues was evident from the start. He took the time to understand our specific situation and tailored our approach to fit our needs perfectly. Tyler‘s ability to explain complex concepts in an understandable way was incredibly helpful. He provided us with practical, actionable advice, and demonstrated techniques that we could easily implement. His calm and patient demeanor made both of us and our dog feel it ease during the session.
Thanks to Tyler, we now feel better working with our dogs and address their behavioral issues effectively. I would highly recommend Tyler to anyone needing help with their dog.
We are also excited to start the group training When it gets warmer out. If you’re struggling with similar issues or assembly, want to enhancer dog ownership skills Tyler is the person to call. His knowledge, professionalism and genuine passion for helping both dogs and their owners make him stand out in this field. Thank you again Tyler for all your help and for giving us the confidence To be the best dog owners, we can be.

Today we joined our first group training, and we are so impressed with the amount of progress made in a hour and a half! Our new, young pup came in like a monster (strong dog reactivity, grabbing the leash with her mouth, trying to jump and squirm out of the lead, and then she did slip the lead) Tyler grabbed the leash, and instantly she was doing exactly what was expected of her. It was amazing to see a true dog whisperer at work. By the middle of the class, she was handling herself so much calmer, following instruction better, and sitting and laying within a few feet of the other dogs she walked in the class barking and lunging at. His knowledge, guidance, and technique is incredibly effective with all variety of breeds. Not a single doubt that with applying what you learn in his sessions, will be training that lasts! We look forward to our next experience with Tyler!

Our family found Tyler through recommendations by other happy clients, and we feel so fortunate that we did! We have two adult dogs at home and adopted our newest rescue for our 11 year-old son. With three dogs and busy lives, we knew we needed help!
Tyler met us so in our home so that he could observe us all in our natural environment and understand our relationships with each of the dogs. Within minutes, he witnessed our love-filled chaos and guided us on how to approach our dogs so that they actually WANTED TO LISTEN! We learned invaluable information about how to stay connected with our pups and maintain those relationships with trust and security.
We have recommended him to all of our dog parent friends and family members.
