Testimonials

Tim was able to really guide me in how we can work with our dog and improve his behavior. He took the time to meet our dog and understand what he needs and really took the time to explain what to do and how to do it. Since our initial session, I’ve contacted Tim a few times for advice on some specific things. Tim, again, took time with me and helped us with great advice that is really working. I would highly recommend Graubaer’s Dog Training to anyone.

Tim came to our home to help train us how to train our Labrador puppy. Having a two year old kid and 9 month old puppy is a lot! His knowledge is unsurpassed. Our dog is behaving much better due to the changes we made. Tim was very patient and answered all our questions. He continued to check on us after our session. I wish we contacted Tim months ago!

I was looking for someone to help us with getting our 1 year old Poodle mix to walk without dragging us every time we walked and with jumping up on anyone coming into our home. Took a chance with Graubaer’s Dog Training and was totally blown away by how well Tim was with our dog! Not only with our dog but with retraining us! He came to our home and was very professional and gentle in the way he spoke to us and our dog. The response was AMAZING! Two hours and we had a great dog! Now we go for pleasant walks and our dog is doing A Lot Better when guests come in to our home. I can’t recommend Tim enough!
