Testimonials
…He was so in tune with her and I felt like the proud parent. She was so eager to learn and I cannot for the life of me figure out how he taught her 3 different commands that fast and how her face lit up as she watched him each time! When I say “Dog Whisperer” I am minimizing this guys talent. My baby girl pouted after he left. She enjoyed it that much!

If you’re looking for an absolute reasonable dog trainer who will take his time to train your babies, give Travis Padgett a call! We’ve only had one session with him, but there will be many more until our puppy is ready! My puppy is already listening and responding, after his first session! Travis is amazing!
– Derek
…Travis generously shares his hard-won expertise in an upbeat, easy-going manner. Even if your dog’s a crazed, wild child Travis will get his attention and cooperation straightaway… Effective…enjoyable…inexpensive. The only reason not to train with Travis would be because he’s booked solid… even then, he’d be worth waiting for
