Tom has been great in helping us to get our 100 lb. lab/pyrenees mix to move when he really would prefer not to. Have you ever tried to motivate 100 pounds of stubborn dog? After two lessons with Tom, I had enough tricks that walks became much easier and our dog is visibly more well behaved. He still sometimes stops when I want to go left, and he wants to go right, but now I can get him moving with the right combo of commands and treats. Tom was helpful from our first written interaction, arrived early to all appointments and was explained everything very well. Most importantly, Bourbon (the dog) adored him and was responsive to the training. Thanks, Tom!

I reached back out to Tom for an additional session after I noticed my dog started to resource guard. Tom was very responsive and was able to come out the same day to help with this. While working with him, we were able to recreate the resource guarding behavior by my dog in which we worked to correct the behavior. He also taught us techniques to practice to further prevent this behavior. Additionally, Tom took the time to work with us on our dog's jumping, greeting of new people, and reacting to outside noises. He answered dozens of our questions and provided excellent recommendations on products as well. Would highly recommend!

Tom has been an amazing dog trainer for us with our new puppy Roxy. She arrived to us from another state at 8 months of age. He is patient and has experience with various types of dogs. He has come up innovative ideas for the optimal type of leash, music to help train Roxy to her anxiety with loud noises, and has found the treats she likes and that movement is what motivates her to comply with commands. Roxy is learning commands and has mastered "sit" and "stay" and "heel" and is working on come when called and more. Tom has really helped Roxy transition to our family and has helped us learn all about our dog that we love!- Michal and Jonathan Helfgott

Tom is a great guy and a great coach. He worked effectively with our puppy and with good practice we have managed to teach our puppy basic commands and some discipline. I have recommended Tom to my friends and family.

Tom is the best! Super kind and gentle with our pup. Knew exactly how to work through the list of issues we wanted to have addressed. He's responsive, affordable, and easy to work with. We got great results. Recommended.
