We recently got our 5-month-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, Poppy, back from a board and train with Tyler, and I’m extremely impressed with the difference. She’s obviously still a puppy and definitely still has some “puppy brain,” so she’s not perfect—and we didn’t expect her to be. But the improvement has been huge. Before training, the jumping and mouthing made it difficult to relax and enjoy having her in the house, especially with our two young kids, ages 5 and 7. Since Poppy came home, I honestly feel like we have control of our house again. We can enjoy being with our dog as a family without constantly worrying about her jumping on the kids or getting too mouthy. I also really like Tyler and the way he approaches training. He gave Poppy a great foundation and gave us the tools to continue working with her at home. With a large, energetic breed like a Ridgeback, that has been incredibly valuable to our family. We still have work to do as Poppy grows up, but I’m very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Tyler and his board and train program.

My family gave me 4 training sessions with Tyler Neal for my 8 yr old Beagle to learn to walk on a leash. I have tried this before, so I was certain that it would not work. However, it was really sweet of them, so I would try again. I have mobility issues that makes training a little difficult. He assured my daughter that he could work around that. By the 3rd session she was actually walking on the leash, instead of dragging me in every direction, darting back and forth and tangling the leash around me. She has completed her 4 sessions. I was wrong, she is walking very nicely and safely! I highly recommend his training. It is wonderful to be able to walk her on a leash.

Tyler was great with Maia. My dog resource guards and has extreme anxiety with new people. Tyler’s first visit to our home, Maia was laying on the couch asking for belly rubs and napping right beside him within 15 minutes which gave me confidence that I made the right choice. We did 4 training sessions to reinforce and refresh previous training she had as a puppy. The hardest one to train is definitely me, and Tyler was super positive and patient. Post training, we’re both listening and behaving better! We decided on a two week board and train as I was going out of the country. Tyler texted an update with a video daily and I loved seeing Maia running around with his GSD. When I returned and picked her up I could tell she was well treated. She spent the first day back home occasionally whining at the door, which I try not to take offense to lol. 10/10 would recommend. You will leave with tools to help, confidence, and better understanding of your dog.
