Introduction
My focus is my experience and training! Since training my first client in the summer of 2020, I’ve conducted over 1,600 private training sessions! 🐾 I am a nine year military veteran, honorably discharged as a Staff Sergeant, who worked as a Kennel Master, a 341st Patrol Dog Trainer, and a Dog Handler stationed in Texas, Germany, the Philippines, California, and Bahrain. 🐕 I graduated from all (three) military K9 schools and hold 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, customized program, and provide Amazon links for all equipment used in training after every training session! 🐕‍🦺 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 has been great with training our dog and also with training us. He gave us an overview of everything we went over in our session and gave us a lot of options to try. He clearly knows his stuff. Highly recommend! Thanks Toby!

Working with Toby was wonderful, he was very quick to respond to my initial inquiries. Fortunately he was more than willing to have an honest conversation with my husband and I about training. He’s incredibly knowledgeable & has wonderful communication skills regarding varying tactics that work best for our puppy (and us). This was one of the best investments we made for our puppy & home - because we able to train our puppy & we had our own homework to make sure we’re able to maintain the training. I highly recommend using Toby. We’re so grateful to him!

Amazing experience getting my dog Whiskey to stop chewing and biting us, and also getting him to walk while minimizing pulling. Toby gives lots of helpful resources and tailors product recommendations so they’re perfect for your dog. Punctuality is amazing and well worth the price for his professionalism. Highly recommend, my puppies nipping is night and day! He can even sleep in our bed now :)

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.
