My wife and I are having our first child soon, and we wanted to help prepare our Aussie, who is territorial and easily frightened. We picked Travis because he was well equipped for this task and was able to come to us and help out at any time. From the start, our dog showed massive improvements, and the progress continued throughout. Travis is committed to helping dog families live a better life. I cannot recommend him enough.

When our Kuvasz grew from a teddy bear to a polar bear in 3 months, we knew we needed a reputable, seasoned traIner, and we found him in Travis Padgett of TP's Dog Training. He's a consummate professional who loves his work and is great with dogs. Travis is generous with his time and attention and it shows in our dog's behavior. Our dog is an investment in companionship and security and the training we have received from Travis is a valuable investment for our life and the life of our dog. I cannot reccommend TP's Dog Training enough. Travis is bringing out the best in our dog, and us, and we are enjoying our perfect canine companion. So happy!

We would highly recommend TP’s Dog Training, hands down! Cooper is our 11 month old Goldendoodle that has a sweet disposition but at 70lbs, he was becoming a handful! Since working with Travis, Cooper is a playful puppy, but he is more mannered creating balance in our home. Our goal is to have Cooper become a service dog for our daughter that is a Type 1 Diabetic. With the help of Travis we can now see this being a reality kn the near future. Thank you Travis for not only training Cooper, but educating us! We could not have gotten this far without you!

Highest ratings across the board for TP's. Here's why I have absolute confidence that you cannot realistically find a better deal. Here's an individual with the highest level of expertise, a talent for effective, enjoyable teaching and his rates are remarkably low. Many of the most highly skilled experts available to train you and your dog come from the US military where the Air Force trains Dog Handlers as well as the Working Dogs. You'd be lucky to find a Handler available to give lessons. BUT... you'd need to be twice lucky because many who are experts in their fields do not make effective teachers. A lot of Dog Handlers will tell you that Travis Padgett is among the best there is. That's because he trained them! He has more than thirty years worth of knowledge and experience. I met Travis about a month ago for our first lesson. He's a total professional who clearly loves his work. I was fully prepared to pay twice as much for any trainer. We've had five lessons so far. My son, our dog and I love our sessions. I have a very personal reason to speak so highly of Travis. He knows his work inside and out and he knows how to convey it ... even to the learning disabled. My adult son has serious issues with focus and recall. Most learning situations are quite stressful for him. Travis and he connected immediately. He shows my son respectful kindness. The supportive encouragement my son gets from this training helps build his confidence and self-esteem. You're reading this because you want the best trainer you can get. So get in touch with TP's first then you'll have a good basis for comparison. I believe you'll share my confidence that you can't do better the TP's Dog Training.

Travis was knowledgeable and friendly. He instantly connected with our dog and taught us how to interact with our dog from a position of authority, but kindly. Truly enjoyed today’s session and we are looking forward to learning more.
