Tom is great. I left my puppy with him for a week training and he came home 100% better. He learned all basic commands and now I can walk my dog instead of him walking me. I will definitely recommend Tom to anyone.

I sent my puppy to Tom for a week and she came back almost a completely different well trained dog. It was hard for me to just send my pup off to doggie boarding school, but it was the best decision we made. I plan to send her back for another week once she’s a little older, so she can learn more commands and break some more bad habits. Overall, I would highly recommend his trains services to anyone with a new dog.

Tom was very informative on the process. It is actually only the first week of training with one dog who is scheduled for 2 weeks due to her aggression issues. Then he is going to take another dog for a week for his tendency to counter surf and get into trash cans at night. It is still early in the process and we don't know for sure what success he will have, but we were very impressed by the interactions we had with him so are optimistic on a good outcome.

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Board and train at a facility • Aggressive behavior modification • Destructive behavior • My home, venue, etc.
