Testimonials
There is no dog like an Atlantic Canine dog. Our first of four GSDs taught us there is no substitute for excellent breeding. Their temperament and intelligence are unmatched. No matter where we go, the dog went with us. Never a single problem. They acclimate easily to any location and/or situation.
Tom’s instinct and ability to teach owners to train their pups is unparalleled. Six weeks of simple lessons had our dog off leash and under control. With Atlantic Canine’s instruction, we taught our dogs to retrieve newspapers from the driveway, bring our car keys when it is time for a ride, close doors, put their toys away and sit/stay until we release them. Highly recommend without hesitation.
– Tom
Highly recommend Tom if you are need of a trainer. He knows his stuff, knows what your dog can handle in a lesson, and actually cares about each individual dog.
Our puppy was completely out of control at just 5 months old, but now he will sit, come, lay, and is much more manageable. We can even take him out for walks without him going ballistic with other people.
Thank you, Tom for helping Cinder!
– Client
Tom was awesome with our dog, Bear. He was very knowledgeable and taught us alot. We were ready to give up before going to see Tom and I’m glad we didn’t. He assured us that Bear was a great dog but just needed some direction. Bear is now a totally different dog and enjoyable to take on walks. No more lunging at fellow walkers. Thanks Tom for the awesome training for both Bear and us. I would highly recommend you to anyone!
