About

All of my fees go to my Non-profit, to help dogs on kill lists for behavior issues. I have been the Behavior/Training Manager at two large rescues in Florida. My passion is helping dogs overcome their issues to become happy and fear-free. I have a soft spot for rescue dogs. I am well-experienced with leash reactivity, dog to dog aggression, fear, physical abuse, and neglect, as well as all other behaviors. All dogs can make progress. My goal has always been to help dogs, not to make money. I bring an understanding and compassion to dogs that gains their trust and allows me to heal them.

Meeting Tommy was I feel, a learning experience. He pointed out things about Annie I hadn’t thought of. He had her eating out of his hand. She isn’t a cuddly, loving dog! He gave us suggestions on how to handle her anxiety. I look forward to continuing to work with him.

We hired Thommy to help us with our dog walking. He helped us with that and much more., including educating us regarding dog behaviors and also providing us with information on brain games for our dog that are a great way to help her when she needs something to do. Thank you Thommy!

How amazing is Thommy?! We were to the point of debating whether to keep our dog in our home or attempt to rehome her when we reached out to Thommy and what a difference!! In just a couple of sessions, he has helped us rethink how we view our girl’s behavior and with his help, we’ve decided to keep her! He’s definitely the go-to expert here!
