Dog Training Methodology
TLC Dog Training sets specific training goals and designs customized programs for each dog and owner. Their services include Puppy Preschool, Training Camp (a board and train program where dogs live in the trainer’s home), and Private Lessons. A key aspect of their training is real-world distraction training, where dogs accompany trainers on field trips to various public places like parks, stores, restaurants, and beaches to ensure they are prepared for any distraction.

About the Trainer
TLC Dog Training offers personalized dog training services for the greater Tampa area, designing programs tailored to the specific needs of each dog and owner.
Their unique approach to board and train involves trainers hosting dogs in their own homes, which aims to make the dog more comfortable and facilitate an easier transition of training back to the owner’s home. This method also ensures consistent training and full immersion in the “trainer life” for the duration of the stay.
The business emphasizes real-world distraction training, taking dogs on field trips to various public locations such as parks, stores, restaurants, and beaches to prepare them for diverse environments. The trainers bring extensive experience and education, having learned from top trainers and behaviorists in both sport and pet training. Their backgrounds include years of experience with personal and rescue dogs, military training (including handling, training, and kennel master roles), formal schooling from a leading dog training institution, and ongoing professional development through workshops, seminars, and classes.
