FirstBarkWe reached out to Tyler for a consultation with our puppy Matey to get some help with basic obedience and leash training. Tyler was great! He took the time to make sure we all understood as he thoroughly explained everything to us. We appreciate his time and we took so many positive things away from our meeting with him. Highly recommend!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do you offer Board & Train?
Yes. For families who need extra help or don’t have the time to do all the foundation work themselves, we offer board & train programs that include owner coaching on the back end. We don’t just hand you back a “trained dog,” we teach you how to keep that training alive at home.

What areas do you serve?

What makes Training That Lasts different from other dog training companies?
We teach you how to get your dog to follow through because they trust you, not because they fear you, and not just for food. We use positive reinforcement like treats to mark the right behaviors, but the real secret is in your timing, your tone, your posture, and your consistency. We show you how to create clarity, not confusion. Dogs aren’t robots, they need structure and leadership that makes sense.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Do you train aggressive or reactive dogs?
Yes. But not with quick fixes or bark and e-collars. We help the dogs with big feelings, the ones that lunge, growl, snap, or shut down. We use behavior modification, desensitization, and counterconditioning to change how your dog feels about their triggers, not just how they act.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Do you come to my home for training?
Absolutely! Real-life behavior happens in your living room, your yard, your front door. That’s where we want to work. Our behavioral consultations give us the full picture and allow us to customize the plan for your home, your routine, your family and your dog.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
When should I start training my puppy?
Before the bad habits start. We recommend starting between 8-10 weeks and continue on as that’s your golden window for socialization and foundational skills like crate training, leash exposure, and bite inhibition. Early training prevents future headaches. Think of that first few months like preschool for your dog.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
What kind of training do you offer?
We offer Behavioral Consultations as a starting point to equip you with the tools you need to build a bond while learning to communicate together. We also offer puppy development, group sessions, structured walks, board-and-training, and 1 on 1 Training sessions. More importantly, we teach people how to lead their dogs with connection and consistency... because a well-trained dog without a well-informed owner still has a problem.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
What is a structured walk?
A structured walk is a focused, leash-guided walk where your dog stays by your side. It builds impulse control, respect, and connection, not just exercise. You lead, they follow. Structure first, freedom later.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Do you use shock collars?
No. We do not use shock collars, e-collars, or any form of electronic stimulation. We understand their place but we don't recommend using them. Our philosophy is rooted in trust, communication and building connection, not control through discomfort.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-10-21
When should I start training my puppy?
It's best to begin training as early as 8 weeks old. Early training helps instill good behaviors and prevents the development of unwanted habits.

Tyler was great! He met with us at our home and went over all the details that will help us be successful with our new puppy. He explained everything in great detail and was very patient with our shy dog. We will definitely be attending his classes soon

Me and my boyfriend started training with Tyler. First session and Tank (our Fuzzy Walrus pup who is half Shar Pei half Cocker Spaniel) is already picking up the tools Tyler has given us to communicate with him! Instantly we saw Tank listen to our instructions within just an hour of Tyler being here. We went outside and I was worried Tank would be pulling and being reactive with kids, bikes, dogs around but using a combination of the slip leash, treats, sitting, and communication it was like a different dog was sitting in front of me! Will definitely be attending group training sessions to continue building this life long bond with Tank. Thank you so very much Tyler!!!

My dog Dunkin did a 6 day board and train with Tyler while we were on vacation and I can't say enough wonderful things! Tyler is truly the dog whisperer. I was amazed and how quickly Dunkin responded to him. We saw many positive changes in Dunkin's behavior just from those 6 days. We have also attended a few group training sessions which are very beneficial! Dunkin and I have both learned alot through Tyler.

We reached out to Tyler to help with some developing behaviors with our pup. Training That Lasts was great with their communication in setting up the appointment. Tyler was very knowledgeable and patient during our session. He was able to figure out a trigger for our guy along with sharing tons of valuable ideas and answers to all our questions. We are still a work in progress but feel more confident in our knowledge and steps to get to a better place for our guy and family.
