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! 🙏

We had a fantastic experience with our dog trainer! He was incredibly friendly and professional, making both us and our dog feel comfortable right from the start. His deep knowledge and quick response to scheduling our sessions made the training process smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend him!

We recently signed up for the 3-session package for my 7-month-old husky, and after just one session, I’m already impressed. Tobi’s knowledge and expertise are evident, and he has a fantastic way of connecting with Kai. During our first session, Tobi provided invaluable insights and practical techniques that I can already see making a difference in Kai’s behavior. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he trains, and his passion for helping them shines through. I’m so excited for our next session this weekend! If you’re looking for a trainer who is not only skilled but also truly dedicated to helping your furry friend, I highly recommend Tobi. We are thrilled with our experience so far!

Toby was an incredible trainer! We got so lucky finding him on Thumbtack. He helped us tackle and correct every stubborn problem my dog was having on top of giving us all the tools to handle him. He’s a different dog now. Toby is the best!

My husband and I recently adopted a 10 month old puppy, Indi. Sweet boy, but bad with leash pulling/leash aggression. We decided to book 3 sessions with Toby and let me say after session 1, Indi stopped pulling. We were actually able to walk him comfortably. He can be a loud barker and lunge at other dogs out of excitement. It was embarrassing to walk him honestly, but toby fixed that quickly. He is definitely doing way better on his walks. House training him was also another issue toby helped us with as Indi thinks he owns the place. He set up a plan for us and we got straight to work. Indi has been doing ok so far but I know he will get better. Toby was very nice and I would definitely recommend him. If it wasn’t for him, we would not know where to start with training Indi.

I have a very difficult dog. Toby is a great trainer and has great ideas on how to handle Milo. I recommend toby if you need a dog trainer.
