The Guiding Leash Dog Training and Behavior Solutions, LLC.

I brought both of my dogs to Tim for training programs over the last year and I’m so happy I did! It has been such a wonderful change in my relationships with my dogs. I feel like I understand them better and we get to enjoy so many more adventures. With my 1 year old Ella I had a tough time enjoying our walks because of her lack of confidence and pulling on leash. She barely responded to leash pressure! It was frustrating taking her out for simple bathroom breaks. However, she worked with Tim for 4 weeks and WOW - she became a more confident and well behaved dog! It has been great to watch her grow and continue to utilize the tips and guidance instilled by Tim. With my 3 year old Henry, he would often be on his own path during walks and would be overly excited to greet every dog and person. He’s a small guy, but I wanted to be able to walk my dogs nicely together and give him more structure. Recently, he spent 2 weeks training with Tim and it has been great to see how calm and engaged he is on our walks! I recommend Tim to anyone seeking guidance of any kind with their pup. I’m looking forward to continuing to bring my dogs to Tim to train for years to come

Tim changed our life for the better. Our dog Loki, while sweet as sugar, was terrible on leash. He’s very compact and VERY strong. He pulled the entire time. It became so bad that we never walked him and just let him out in our yard with our electric fence. He also would get so overly excited when people would come over that it was chaos for a few minutes until he calmed down. So we decided to send Loki off with Tim for his 2 week Wayward Dog training. Tim constantly kept us updated with posts so we could see Loki’s progress. Seeing the change via Tim’s posts was almost shocking. When we saw it in person, however, our jaws dropped. We took him for a walk in our neighborhood like a normal dog! He heeled properly and only had some minor distractions when he saw another dog. It was really an incredible transformation. We’re just at the beginning of Loki’s training and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. We highly recommend Tim!

The Guiding Leash is one of the Tri-State Area’s hidden gems when it comes to dog training. Without Tim’s guidance and expertise my 100+ lb. Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix would still be wreaking all sorts of havoc in my household. I’m happy to say it’s been three years since signing my pup up for a board and train at The Guiding Leash and his obedience is better than ever. That’s because in addition to being able to clearly explain why specific training methods are effective, Tim also emphasizes the importance of understanding how dogs learn. Once you’re armed with this knowledge you’ll be able to confidently navigate new and stressful situations with your pooch. (And if you’re struggling, Tim is ultra-responsive and happy to help!) It will completely change your relationship with your dog for the better Sign up for a consultation as soon as you can! It will be the one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.

Tim is so knowledgeable and a true dog whisperer! I enrolled my pound puppy, Justice, for the 5-day explorer program and got an almost perfect little gentleman returned to me. Truth be told, he's only "almost" perfect because I don't always follow all of the rules as closely as I should. Otherwise, I have no doubt he would perfect! Luckily, I don't mind his mild imperfections and, as we've both matured in this process, there's been continued improvement. I'm confident that he will grow into the best dog ever. Thanks Tim!! You really do have a gift!

Tim has been an amazing resource for us. When we needed a trainer during COVID for our hard headed dogs he was able to help us with virtual visits. I was apprehensive to doing virtual but it worked out perfectly and Tim was incredibly helpful during the “visits” and in between. Our older dog started attacking our younger dog and Tim’s approach has made it so they can be in the same room again! So appreciative for him and highly recommend.
