Introduction: My focus is my experience and training! Since opening my business in the summer of 2020, I’ve conducted over 1,100 private training sessions. I am a nine year military veteran who worked as a Kennel Master, a 341st Patrol Dog Trainer, and Dog Handler stationed in Texas, Germany, the Philippines, California, and Bahrain. I attended all (three) military K9 schools along with holding a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. I am organized, engaging, outgoing, and professional! I prepare lesson plans and provide a thorough training recap with recommended reinforcement training afterwards. There are hundreds if not thousands of dog trainers in Southern California and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone as qualified as me. Thank you for your consideration!

My husband and I recently adopted a 10 month old puppy, Indi. Sweet boy, but bad with leash pulling/leash aggression. We decided to book 3 sessions with Toby and let me say after session 1, Indi stopped pulling. We were actually able to walk him comfortably. He can be a loud barker and lunge at other dogs out of excitement. It was embarrassing to walk him honestly, but toby fixed that quickly. He is definitely doing way better on his walks. House training him was also another issue toby helped us with as Indi thinks he owns the place. He set up a plan for us and we got straight to work. Indi has been doing ok so far but I know he will get better. Toby was very nice and I would definitely recommend him. If it wasn’t for him, we would not know where to start with training Indi.

I have a very difficult dog. Toby is a great trainer and has great ideas on how to handle Milo. I recommend toby if you need a dog trainer.

Toby was fantastic to work with. He was transparent with his approach from initial communication, worked with me to understand my goals, and took the time to get Korra comfortable before we dove into training. I realized that I needed more training (to be an effective trainer) than Korra did (to be a dog), and Toby was the man for that. I walked away with a ton of value, including "homework" and a future resource for more advanced training. Will definitely look forward to working with SoCal K9 Consulting again once Korra and I have done our part with the foundation.

We got a 13 week old Staffy and hired Toby to help us train her. Toby did an amazing job at not only training her but training us as well. While it’s a lot of information to take in during each session, one thing that Toby does to help is to provide recaps via email and links to recommendations. Thank you again!

SoCal K9 was amazing. Saw an immediate improvement with Domingo with his puppy behaviors. Toby made our dog seem manageable and the whole family is happier!
