Testimonials
“We had such a great experience with Tom and A+ Canine Performance! We were at the end of our rope and desperate to find help with our male Golden Retriever puppy… Totally worth the investment and we highly recommend!”
– Rachel Adkins – 1/13/22
“I cannot recommend A+ and Tom more! He took my rescue puppy that my husband and I were struggling with the decision of keeping her because she was biting aggressively… Worth every penny. Tom Dixon is amazing. Love the convenience of him coming to my home.”
– Sydrena Dockery-Reddekopp – 9/8/21
“Tom was delightful to work with! … He listened to the concerns, assessed my dog’s personality and my lifestyle and made excellent recommendations that have changed my dog’s behavior for the better in 4 sessions. I highly recommend him.”
