Timothy was referred to me by a friend. I liked his positive reinforcement technique. He was willing to take my 90lb pitbull on training walks. He got him to stop chasing squirrels and cats and refocus on me during the walk. Timothy was great about explaining the why and how behind his training. My dog now…

Timothy was great! So personable, knowledgeable and amazing at what he does. My dog is very introverted and barks a million times when people visit. In one session he broke it down so simplistically and left us feeling encouraged and confident moving forward with a neutral calm dog. He is simply the best!!

TLDR: Did my dog walk better on a leash after the session? Yes. Do I believe I could've gotten the same results by skipping the training session and just purchasing a gentle leader? Also yes Booked one training session to address my dogs leash pulling/chasing squirrels issue. I was hoping this would be the first of…

Oh my goodness. Best trainer we have had for our dog. Learned so much about her and learn so much on things we can do and work with her to get her to our goal point with her. Definitely recommend him to anyone that is willing to put in effort with their dog and is willing to try and learn what can work for their dog. Thank you so much!

timothy is truly an expert at what he does! i have an un-socialized covid dog who is extremely reactive towards other dogs. i’m stubborn and have tried to work on it for years with no professional help but nothing was sticking. in the 1 hour spent with timothy i was able to get my dog within ~5 ft from other dogs…

Did a great job with our 3 month old cavalier. My wife and I have been around dogs all of our lives but one forgets what a puppy is like. Timothy helped get us on track and have seen great improvements in our cavalier.

We had our first session with Timothy today for our over-excited 5-month old Goldendoodle, Zuki, who is always eager to meet new dog and human friends by immediately jumping on them! Within ten minutes of working with Timothy, we could already see a noticeable behavior change and by the end of our session she was…

I did some basic obedience training with my dog as a puppy, but he has a few bad habits and problem behaviors with leash reactivity that I have been unable to correct. Within 10 minutes of working with Timothy and the gentle leader, I had solutions! My dog immediately responded to the methods that were suggested and…

Tim was absolutely fantastic! His suggestions, tips, and immediate assessment and understanding helped immensely. A little over two months ago, I got an almost 6mth old rescue malamute/husky who had been on the streets in LA for over a month, with zero training and anxiety. Add in a 7mth old kitten/cat - and you…

We worked with Timothy for one session with our reactive dog and within the first 2 mins of meeting he was already providing feedback on how to correct some of Mochi’s behavior. During the training, he explained Mochi’s behavior and temperament and how to watch and correct them, and he was also correcting how we…

I’m so happy I found Tim and can’t recommend him enough! His hands-on approach has been a lifesaver in training my puppy, Dani (and me)! The hardest part of her training so far has been her harness, and at our first session, Tim explained what was happening and how I could adjust my tactics. She immediately took to…
