Testimonials
When I went in for my evaluation I was nervous thinking my dog couldn’t be changed and at my wits end with what to do. But after an hour of Derek meeting my dog bingo and discussing his bad habits he suggested a 3 week 1on 1 training. In that time frame Derek helped me understand not only what my dog needs, but what I needed to fix as his owner. He has helped me transition Bingo from a dog who howls when he saw anything and pulled me during walks, to a dog who I have control over and enjoy taking for daily walks. I will continue to recommend this facility to anyone needing a trainer. And if I need any boarding in the future bingo will definitely be coming here.

I highly recommend T&D Training. My dog and I went to group training. I was struggling with my dog big time. Derek and Tawni took the time to give us some one on one attention that really made a difference. They truly care and want to help you and your dog learn. I’m adding a picture of my dog with her diploma. Before our training, the diploma would have been shredded before I could grab the camera. She can now sit and stay and follow other commands we learned in class.

I can’t say enough great things about this place. Derek, Tawni, Kathy & Tara are all amazing human beings who have such a love for animals. It shows in their work & their interactions with every pet & every owner. We attended beginner puppy training here with our Husky. They have so many services to choose from. I would recommend this place to anybody & everybody.
