Bow wow has done such an unbelievable job with my watching my dog Frankie! They do a great job of sending consistent updates with photos and videos. I can’t recommend them enough!

Bow Wow Behavioral has been amazing in helping my dog George learn better manners at home. Since working with them, he's been jumping less, pulling less on the leash, and is overall much more responsive and well-behaved. Ty, Kyle, and Laura are fantastic trainers—patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. I’ve really appreciated their guidance and the noticeable progress George has made. I’m excited to continue working with them to build on everything George has learned so far. Highly recommend them if you're looking for dedicated and effective dog trainers!

We’ve had such a great experience working with Ty as he’s helped us train our puppy, Harley. From the beginning, Ty has been clear, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable—qualities that have made the training process feel both manageable and enjoyable. He has a natural way with dogs, and it’s obvious Harley loves him! We’re so grateful for his guidance and support. Highly recommend!

We had a WONDERFUL experience with Ty and Kyle. We sent our giant pup (1 year old Great Pyrenees/Hound) to BowWow Behavioral for three days of boarding and training in the hopes that they could help him with occasional naughtiness on leash walks and better recall. It’s incredible how much they got done in only three days. He really *learned* with them - I can see him thinking about things differently and also naturally choosing calmer, better walking (vs pulling or being stubborn). They also took the time to teach me some handling skills that allow me to continue on with their good work. I highly recommend them and would send him back any time!

Ty and team are wonderful, caring and gentle! This was the first time we boarded and did training with our fur baby! I noticed a huge difference on our first walk after picking him up! He is a smart boy, but I have to give all the credit to the team as we have been unable to break some bad habits he had acquired. We will continue with training with Bow Wow Behavioral as there are more things we would like to work on and we know their methods work! Thanks Ty! So glad we found you!!!
