Lovey Stofko2025-07-21 Tommy has changed our lives. Having a private trainer come into your home to assess space and lifestyle is impactful. Lilly is the most well behaved dog I have ever owned. A few of our challenges, resolved with private training. 1). Hosting Easter was a disaster. The next training session Tommy changed crate placement. And taught me what to do, and not do, when someone is at our front door. Lilly can now calm herself and be civilized when greeting. 2). Lilly was the Tasmanian Devil jumping out of her skin waiting for a meal. Now she stays on her bed until I have put her bowl of food on the floor and give her the release command. 3). Lilly no longer fights me trying to get out of the back of our SUV. She sits calmly with the door wide open. While I put her collar and leash on her. She waits for the release command before jumping out. 4). Tommy makes himself available for the unexpected. Going to dinner with friends from out of town. The plan was to leave their 2 puppies in our house with Lilly. An hour before their arrival, I texted Tommy. He explained how dogs bond. And gave clear instructions on what to do. His advice is not something I would have thought of. Training is personalized. Whatever you are struggling with. Tommy is able to teach you how to work through it. Kim Yenco2025-07-14 Tommy is an amazing trainer who connects great with dogs even those who have had rough pasts. My Scout took to him well and he is a NEW dog walking on a leash outside! Not just that but he stopped pulling, barking and going crazy when seeing dogs and people on walks. The walks are now enjoyable for both Scoit and me! I highly recommend him and will be continuing training with Scout and my other dogs! Mark Scarborough2025-07-07 Had an awesome experience with Tom. He has an incredible amount of training knowledge and does a great job training both the parents and your dog. He helped us to overcome various behavior issues and some fear-based challenges we were having with our recently adopted pitbull. Tom did a great job of customizing his approach to our specific needs and also worked around our hectic work schedule. Would highly recommend! Ilene Grodzinsky2025-04-02 Tommy spent time with us always making sure to answer our questions. He helped us to go from being unable to safely walk our dog for fear that we would be hurt from his hard pulling to walking with the dog by our side with a loose leash. I highly recommend him. Dana C2025-01-27 Indy is a 14 mo. old Shih Tzu/Bijon Frise mix. He is easily responsive and I had worked with him for some of the basic commands, but he only did them when he wanted to. And for the life of me, I couldn't get him to walk without pulling the leash and he had no clue what I was asking when I said "Stay." Tommy was great at giving me clear explanations for Indy's behavior and teaching me how to better communicate what I wanted from Indy. Tommy is accessible and responsive if I need help, and I love the way he interacted with Indy. I would enthusiastically recommend Engaged K9's. Janell Martin2024-12-20 Tommy was amazing and wealth of knowledge when it came to training my 2 yr old dog. He was available for any questions or concerns I had through out the training. I have also referred him to a neighbor of mine for her nee puppy :) Giovanna Davis2024-12-03 Tommy was so responsive and helped my pup and I both make incredible improvements. He listened to my specific areas of concern and worked hard to improve them, all while answering every question I had no matter the time of day. Not to mention, he showed my pup so much love in the process of training. I feel much more confident with my dog’s improved obedience skills and can’t recommend Tommy enough!Load more
