SoCal K9 Consulting

I’ve got an 11 year old Pomeranian - Fedor, who overnight went through drastic personality changes. I reached out to Toby for training as I felt like I had a totally different dog and was at a loss. We signed up for 3 training sessions and Toby worked with me to figure out ways to better support Fedor. Just Toby’s weekly presence made a difference in Fedor’s ways. After each session I totally noticed shifts in Fedor behavior and he’s slowly coming back to his regular spunky, loving, playful self. Toby was amazing! I definitely recommend him.

Toby's knowledge and experience with dogs was evident from the moment we met him. He sat down and went over the behavior issues we needed to address with our two newly adopted Greyhounds taking notes and asking pertinent questions. After that he detailed various training methods that could be used, all based on his positive reinforcement approach. He showed us a better way to hold the leash when walking the dogs and what equipment we could get to help when walking a dog that constantly pulled. We took the dogs for a walk, the "puller" now outfitted with what Toby recommended, and the results were amazing, the pulling stopped!! We walked a mile and a half with Toby making suggestions and giving us pointers. Toby was professional, courteous and followed up with a written lesson plan of what was discussed and what he recommended. We could not have asked for better service and his suggestions are definitely working with our dogs after one sessions. We could not be happier with the service Toby provided and highly recommend him.

Toby is an exceptional trainer and I cannot rave enough about working with him to train my puppy, Frosty. I'm a first time dog owner and Toby was not only super responsive to all of my questions but he was also very flexible to customizing our training sessions so that my immediate questions and needs were met and handled! He exceeded all of my expectations with patience and humor!! And, Frosty is now a happily trained member of my family. I highly recommend working with Toby. He's the best there is!

First off I want to start off by saying My dog Scar was at the end of his rope with his aggression and behavioral problems and the aggression was towards people in our household that had raised him for 3 years. He is a 3 year old Shepard/Rot mix so a big boy and intimidating. I called Toby after several trainers did evaluations and even a first session with Scar and gave up on him after that with even one trainer saying it was his brain and he should be put down because he cant be trained. Toby came in our home very professional answering all my family's questions and immediately put a plan in place to help us and Scar. Now getting ready for our 3rd session with Toby not only has Scar stopped with the extreme aggression towards us he's actually being trained and doing the exercises Toby put in place for us. Toby not only saved us from another attack and bites but also saved Scar from having to be put down. He is our boy and we are more then grateful Toby never gave up on him and always takes my calls and answers my questions in between sessions. I could go on and on but bottom line Toby is by far the best trainer we have ever worked with and we have been through alot of them. I wish I could give him 10 stars.
