Tom's Dog Training

Tom is a fantastic dog trainer! My boyfriend and I recently got a puppy (Greater Swiss Mountain Dog) and wanted to get him started on training as soon as we could since we got our puppy at 11 weeks. Tom was super responsive when scheduling and had flexible hours to accommodate our work schedules. With Tom’s training our puppy picked up the basic commands during our sessions as Tom would first introduce the command to our pup and then once our pup understood what to do, Tom let us practice in front of him to make sure we were following through correctly. We covered responding to his name, sit, down, spin, shake (paw), leave it, drop it, crate, come, stay, and walking techniques. Tom is also super patient and our puppy loved to be with him. We miss Tom and are planning to reach out to him to learn more!

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.

Tom helped us with our Australian Cattle Dog, Alfie, who was about 2 when we adopted him. Alfie was socialized somewhat but had no basic skills or leash manners since he spent the first part of his life tied to a tree. We scheduled multiple visits with Tom over several weeks and Alfie learned all of the basics and some fun tricks, too. Walking on the leash with Tom was a huge help, since Alfie pulls and is somewhat dog reactive. Tom even recommended collars and treats/toys for Alfie that have been really useful. Tom's methodology is consistent, patient, and very effective. We look forward to continuing to work with Tom!
