Our first session with our 7 month rescue was today. Our pup didn’t have a normal upbringing so we are starting from scratch and some past trauma. We previously had a very reactive dog that has left both of the pet parents with a bit of ptsd. After the first hour with Timothy we are in such a better place. We know what works for our dog and understand how to use R+ as a tool to get the outcome we need. 1 hour session is worth it’s weight in gold. We will be returning. Already have plans of what to work on next.

We have appreciated working with Timothy and have had such a positive experience. He is knowledgable, professional and honest. In just a couple of sessions, we've seen major improvements that have put us at ease and feeling like we are on the right track towards meeting our goals. We would highly recommend working with Timothy at Dog Basics!

Bowie the dog and I had a great time working with Timothy this morning. Timothy helped me work confidently with Bowie and gave me lots of tips for dealing with my anxious boy. I am prepared to put all the techniques to use & already have a happier pup!!

5/5

Timothy spent an hour with my "out of control" dog training ME how to deal with him. The next day I had a visitor come over and my dog didn't even bark and stay calm the whole time. I was in tears just a week ago thinking I may have to remove or worse, now I'm confident I can handle this. Total game changer.
