The Calm Dog

We highly recommend working with Tod. His passion for dogs and upbeat nature makes class engaging and enjoyable. He has a wide range of knowledge beyond “sit and stay”. He educates owners about dogs and proper dog ownership. This is our second time working with Tod. This time we’ve brought Tod, our Golden Retriever puppy. With each session we’ve seen Hazel build manners, more confidence and patience in various situations including our home. She is becoming “The Calm Dog”

We’ve been working with Tod from Calm Dog since our dog, Olive, was just 3 months old, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and guidance. He has been absolutely paramount in helping Olive grow into the best version of herself. His calm, patient, and knowledgeable approach has not only improved her behavior but has also given us the tools and confidence to reinforce her training daily. Tod truly understands dogs and tailors his training to fit their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s basic obedience, socialization, or more specific behavioral challenges, he breaks everything down in a way that makes it easy to follow and implement. The progress we’ve seen with Olive has been incredible, and we constantly get compliments on how well-behaved she is—all thanks to Tod! If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and delivers real results, we highly recommend Tod and Calm Dog. He’s made a world of difference for our family, and we can’t thank him enough!
