Ty has been extremely helpful when it comes to training and resolving some issues we have with our pup. The first training session, he taught us how to communicate effectively with our pup and how to use a marker before giving rewards for good behavior/accomplishing a command. The initial training session was very effective and we already saw good results right away. We then decided to have our pup, Raiden, board and train for a week and we were amazed by the transformation he had in such a short period. There were constant updates throughout from Laura and Kyle, which put us at ease while we were away from our pup (special shoutout to Laura and Kyle for teaching Raiden "sit, down, stay and come" commands). Ty was also helpful in making sure that Raiden can be comfortable when left alone and learn how to self-soothe without constant supervision. Overall, the experience we had with Ty and the team has been excellent and I would highly recommend him as a dog trainer.

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're thrilled to hear our team could help your family out by working with Raiden. He's just a sponge, we're impressed by his progress. We're glad the updates from Laura and Kyle during Raiden's board and train put you at ease. We'll definitely give them a shoutout for teaching Raiden those important commands. Thanks again for choosing us for Raiden's training. If you need anything else, just let us know!

Ty is an exceptional trainer, displaying remarkable patience and personable dedication. His genuine love for his work, dogs, and teaching shines through in every session. With my dog, our focus was on obedience commands, leash training, and addressing reactivity towards other dogs. Thanks to Ty's guidance, we've reached a turning point. Now, our walks are enjoyable, and we can spend more quality time at the park without constant redirection. It's been a game-changer for both me and my pup! Thank you, Ty!

Business response

Thank you so much for your review! It means the world to me to know that our training sessions have had such a positive impact on your life with your pup. Knowing that you can now fully enjoy walks and park visits together is the best reward I could ask for. Your kind words fuel my passion for helping dogs and their owners build strong, happy relationships. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is ever anything else I can do to support you and your pup. Wishing you both all the best.

Our dog absolutely loves Ty (and Jorge!), and boarding her with Jorge has been a game changer. We came to Ty as our puppy was very reactive to other dogs on walks and was showing some aggression/resource guarding issues. Through positive reinforcement training with Ty, both issues have improved tremendously. Thank you Ty and team!

Business response

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear your dog loves spending time with us. It's great to know the training with all those years ago has really helped with the reactive behavior around other dogs and guarding things. Thanks for trusting us with your pup. If you need any more help or have questions, just let us know. We're here for you and your dog!

We can’t say enough great things about Ty and Bow Wow Behavioral! We brought our dog for separation anxiety, who couldn’t be left alone for a second without freaking out. Ty was very patient and understanding. He took the time to listen to all concerns and answered any questions we had. They send pictures and updates so you know how your fur baby is doing. At the end of two weeks, she was in the crate by herself for several hours at a time and even felt comfortable enough to fall asleep! We highly recommend Bow Wow Behavioral!!

Business response

Hello Kelly, Thank you for your kind words! We're so happy to hear about your dog's improvement with her separation anxiety. It was great to work with her and to answer all your questions. We're glad you liked the photos and updates we sent. It's wonderful to know she can now relax in her crate by herself for a few hours. That's a huge change! Thanks for recommending us. If you need anything else in the future, just let us know.
