I have taken all my dogs here, he is very nice and funny. He loves his dogs and is really hard working. all his dogs are exceptional, that he breeds. We finally were able to get one and she is me love of my life, we still go to training with him and all the people their are always nice and welcoming by giving u some training tips that worked for them or just a little chat. I also just started to work for him he takes well care of his dogs and they all are very nice. I cant wait to go back to class in a few weeks.

Thomas is known for his excellent work with German Shepherds but we needed him to train our stubborn Japaneses Akita. Thankfully, Thomas welcomed our dog into his training and WOW we were ecstatic about the results. When we dropped off our dog he was tearing apart our house - carpet, drapes you name it. When he returned from his training with Thomas, he was so much better mannered, listened to commands and is such a joy to have around. We don't even need to put him in his kennel when we leave the house anymore. We continue to attend the Saturday classes and see tremendous improvement every week. We highly recommend Thomas for any dog breed. He does amazing work.
