I adopted MJ in March. He weighed 92 lbs was 3 1/2 years old and refused any and all commands. I searched and was recommended Travis. In 5 sessions MJ has become a completely different dog. He follows commands and he’s become a pleasure to take on walks in the neighborhood. MJ really loves Travis and there is such a strong bond between them.
Thank you for training the.”challenge” out of MJ and teaching MJ to be a sweet and obedient dog. Life is good living with MJ.

Highly recommend Tharp and Canine! They helped me train my Doberman, Rogue, on reliable recall, which is so important since I hike with her—especially here in Florida where we can encounter dangerous wildlife like gators. I need to know she’ll come immediately when called, and now she does. So grateful for their effective, professional training!

Hands Down, Tharp and Canine are the Best Trainers in North Florida! If you’re looking for training professionals who truly understand canine behavior and can positively engage with your dog, look no further. This incredible husband-and-wife team provided my dog, Teddy, with 4 transformative weeks of training, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing.
If you love your pet and are faced with behavioral challenges or simply want to enhance obedience, I highly recommend and encourage you to consider Tharp and Canine. They not only deliver results that exceed expectations but also empower pet owners with the skills needed for effective communication and handling of our furry family members.
Choosing Tharp and Canine was by far the best decision we ever made for Teddy, and I can’t recommend them enough! We are forever grateful for the gift they have given to our family! 💜

If you are looking for the best obedience trainer for your pet Travis is it! He has so much patience and knowledge in dog training. He has helped me so much with my extremely high drive dog and he also showed me how to properly use the e-collar which has truly been a life saver for me.. If you want your pet to be the best they can be then look no further!

I have so many great things to say about Tharp and Canine! First, I have a reactive 10 month old German shepherd mix. I searched for weeks for different trainers and programs who would take him on, especially ones that weren’t group training since I’ve done something similar before, but he needed something tailored to his needs. I found Travis, who was more than willing to help- but not just help, he takes the time explaining the WHY behind my wild pups behaviors and what I as a handler can do. He didn’t shy away from my little maniacs problems, which has been a huge weight off my shoulders. Him and his wife are literally the best, I don’t know what I would do without them. If you need a trainer who actually cares about dogs and knows what they’re talking about, Tharp and Canine is the way. 🌟
