5/5

My dog is 9 and we have worked with a few trainers off and on since he was a puppy. I was surprised how beneficial the session still was, and feel confident that if you dog has behavior concerns big or small, it's worth consulting Timothy.

5/5

Timothy was very kind and patient with our anxious and reactive mini schnauzers. I really like how he empowered us to use tools by ourselves in the future instead of just doing everything for us. We learned so much and can't wait to practice repetitions to help our smallest dog stop barking at guests. Thank you, Timothy!!!

I recently had a one hour private session with Timothy and to say it was life changing is an understatement. We have an extremely strong but super loving chocolate lab, who we couldn't walk without severe pulling & strain. In one session, Timothy gave us the tools and guidance to manage him and it was the best thing I’ve invested in for our family. Thank you again!!! Highly recommend!!

5/5

Timothy is great to work with and explains things thoroughly. Our main concerns were ; jumping up, lunging for food and pulling on walks. Appreciate your help with Atlas!

5/5

I can’t believe how much success we had with our 3 small dogs after one visit with Timothy. Thank you so much! Barking, jumping, aggression over toys- we feel we have the skills to continue their training. I was truly surprised we could do this so fast after just one visit. Thank you for the much improved pets.
