Tommy helped us with our Mini Australian Shepherd puppy when no one else would! He came to our house at 11 weeks and got us off on the right foot β€” he trained my husband and me as well as our puppy.

He came for our first private session and it went better than I imagined. He’s very relatable, with a unique way of teaching that’s enjoyable and actually entertaining.
