Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

Why does my puppy pee in the house five minutes after coming from outside?

Potty training can be stressful time for pet parents. My single session teaches the “mechanics” of potty training and helps you to develop a rigorous schedule of consistency so you can achieve your housebreaking goal in the shortest time possible.

Question on Google
My dog pulls on his leash so hard, I don’t enjoy our walks any longer because I can barely control him. Is there a way to stop him from pulling on his leash so we can enjoy our walks together?

I have helped countless people of all ages to gain leash control. Sometimes it’s a simple manner of having the appropriate equipment. Usually, it requires 3-1 hour sessions to teach you and your dog the four different types of walks, proper leash techniques and commands that will make walking fun for parent and pet.

We adopted a dog with some unknown trauma. She was living in a hoarder house of 30+ dogs. She was afraid of everything and everyone. Didn’t even know what going outside was when we got her. Everything was a new experience. After our first session, Todd helped us to relate to her with such a positive response. We have seen such an improvement with her and are so grateful. We look forward to our next session to see the progress she makes. ❤️

Business response

Thank you for the kind words, Renee. Even dogs that experience extreme neglect can develop trust and the understanding that safety and security comes from a loving pack. Your compassionate and consistent leadership has earned Izzy’s trust while she continues to adapt to a completely new environment. Keep up the good work. I look forward to our continuing journey.

Todd in just a few Visits helped us learn about our new puppy! He needed to train us to train him! Knowledgeable, compassionate and experienced aren't enough adjectives to describe how well he works with pet owners and their pets! Highly recommended! Thank you, Todd and Serenity dog training

Business response

Thank you for the kind words, Mike. It just so happens that I am in the business of training humans to speak dog and you were an excellent student. You have the most natural and important of gifts- compassion. When we add clear communication and consistency, we have the perfect set of tools for a dog to learn and thrive. I’m grateful for your trust and the opportunity to work with your pack. Keep being that positive leader.

Todd really helped us with just one visit. We have a rescue pit mix that has been with us for a little over a year. He has remained somewhat fearful, and we wanted to bring him down a bit. Todd showed us how to be more in charge with Newman. We started using a lick mat to curb behavior as well. We will definitely bring him back.

Business response

Thank you for the kind words, Geoff. Thanks to your consistency and compassion, and being very trainable humans, Newman was able to learn that calm behavior is rewarded while guests are visiting- creating safety and security for the pack. Keep up the good work. Thank you for the Opportunity and trust to work with your pack.

Todd helped me out over the phone with my dog Buster. Buster likes to attack the window when people walk by and very aggressively. We actually stopped that today with Todd's help A big thank you and I would highly recommend Serenity Dog Training.

Business response

Thank you for the kind words, Kelly. When you learn to reward, calm behavior, everything starts changing and you don’t take away a dog’s job, which is to alert the pack to any changes in their territory. Keep up the good work.
