Sniff Squad Dog Training

We found Todd in Santa Barbara because we were looking for a trainer for our puppy, Indie, who needed some extra socialization with a pack of dogs and basic training. Todd has exceeded our expectations with every session. He is personable, kind and an excellent dog trainer and communicator. His methods work, and he creates a trusted bond with each dog while working with them. We appreciate his clear, firm approach with lots of rewards. Indie looks forward to every all-day session with the pack and so do we! It’s very helpful to know your dog is at “school” having fun and learning on the days we are extra busy working. Todd goes so far as to pickup and drop off each dog for the day pack program from your home. Would highly recommend Todd!

Todd worked wonders with our rescue dog, helping her build confidence and really come into her own. She has gone from scared and overwhelmed, to confident, curious, snuggly and playful. She learned obedience skills and we learned how to communicate with her which resulted in her learning to potty outside, to stay in a place when guests arrive, and to go out for bike rides with us without pulling. We are really impressed with the results and will be sending both of our dogs with Todd for tune-ups to help improve their lives and ours on an ongoing basis. So grateful for Sniff Squad!!

I adopted a 100lb 8 year old rescue dog who had zero training after a life of neglect. He had lived outside only and was pretty out of control. Todd transformed him into an absolute prince. The best part is that he did it all through positive methods and taught me how to do the work at home so we can keep it going. His patience (with animals and humans) is extraordinary and he was the perfect trainer for us. Big Mac is so happy and confident now thanks to Sniff Squad and I could have never gotten him to this place without Todd. He is the real deal. His videos are amazing too!

We feel fortunate to have found Todd at Sniff Squad. Todd taught our 7 month border collie puppy so much in the weeks she spent with him. He carefully tailored her training program to address her specific needs and our goals for her. Todd also helped us grow leaps and bounds as owners. He patiently transferred her training to us through his daily social media stories and one on one training sessions. He still answers questions we have and does some follow up training with her. Not only is Todd the best trainer, but he’s super nice person too.
