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!

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.

Toby worked with my Australian Shepherd, Tuck, for only a couple of hours and we were able to teach him new behaviors and commands to address leash pulling and being reactive/aggressive to other dogs. I now have a handful of tools to use in my everyday life with Tuck to make him better behaved and easier to manage. Tuck especially liked clicker training and I’ve already purchased a clicker for him on Amazon to begin using. I will be recommending Toby to my friends and neighbors who also need help with their dogs.

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!

Toby is very professional and kind. Upon meeting him, my dog felt comfortable in his presence. He provided us with good advice and when I had a concern he was swift to take action. Thanks Toby!

Toby is extremely skilled, patient, and professional. He helped our very aggressive puppy and taught us the skills to move forward with her successfully. He is very clear in his instruction and cares about the well being of the dogs as well as their owners. So grateful for you Toby!
