We signed up for the 3 session package to help with our rescue dog. He was a stray and then was in the shelter for almost 10 months so there was no behavioral history on him. Our dog has incredibly high prey drive which is a HUGE problem since we have cats. He also has leash reactivity. There was no way to know this until we brought him home. We did a search and found Toby, and I’m so happy we did! His suggestions have really helped us with managing our dog’s behavior and there is real hope that our cats and dog will be able to co-exist in our home. The difference in our dog’s behavior from our first training session to the 3rd is night and day. I highly recommend Toby!

So happy to have been referred to Toby by a good friend. He was extremely thorough when training our puppy and customized his program to our lifestyle. Toby also helped acclimate our older dog to living with his new puppy brother, and gave us practical solutions for problem behaviors with both dogs. He is professional, kind, positive and truly has a special way with dogs! I would recommend his complete puppy package to anyone welcoming a new dog to their home without hesitation!

I can't say enough great things about our experience with Toby! How an ex-military guy could be as sweet, thoughtful and caring to not just "dog" also "handler" is beyond me. He taught us so much without making us feel like we were in a lesson and was patient and thorough every step of the way.

Toby helped train my dog for psychiatric service work, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My dog has been helping me manage my symptoms so much better after all the hours Toby put in with us, and I'm extremely grateful that we were able to work with him as our trainer! My dog has had no problem with public access, and he's great at performing his tasks. 10/10 would recommend Toby, my quality of life has greatly improved since he trained my dog.

Toby is amazing and very knowledgeable! We couldn’t imagine training our dogs with anyone else! We feel confident and assured about the process and his follow up emails are perfect reference for future reminders. Highly recommend him for any stage of your training process.
