I want to share how grateful I am for Toby from SoCal K9 Consulting. Watching the way he and Ollie connected was really special. Toby has a lot of knowledge and experience, and he helped train Ollie as a service dog with so much care and attention. I always felt that he really understood Ollie and what he needed. He was also incredibly organized and professional. After every session he would send a clear summary, and from beginning to end everything was explained in a way that made the process feel easy and even fun. As Ollie’s mama, that meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate everything Toby has done and I would definitely recommend him. He has an amazing and natural connection with dogs. We are so lucky and thankful.

Toby is an amazing puppy trainer. Our Phoebe loved when he would come to our home, bring the treats, and get to work. She learned a lot in 5 sessions. My husband and I really appreciated that Toby set up our girls space on the first session, which actually dramatically changed everything in our home for the better. She really loves her own private space. We have an almost 5 month old puppy that is so well behaved and everyone is so impressed that she listens and follows most of the commands that she has learned from Toby. Some need some work but we give her grace as she’s still quite young and I think she’ll get them soon enough. We’re so appreciative of Toby’s flexibility with our schedules, his patience, and being so loving with our Phoebe. She truly is a good girl and we fall more in love with her daily. Thank you Toby!!!
Toby was communicative, punctual, friendly, professional, and knowledgable. My puppy loved him, which is all I needed to know. Thanks to Toby, Pumpkin is now a certified Service Animal!
We had a great experience with Toby. He was very personable and professional. He genuinely cared about our dogs and made sure they had the best experience. He taught us some real, actionable steps that we can use to help our dogs be well-behaved and happy. Would recommend!
