Paws -N- Learn Academy

“Tomi is the best! I love to play around, but when Tomi tells me to do something, I get serious and pay attention. She is strict, but I can tell that she really cares. Sometimes, I don’t understand her, but she always finds a way to make me understand. She never gets angry, and she always has the best treats!” ~ (posted for my friend “Gnarly” who lacks opposable thumbs), Rob M.

We have absolutely loved every minute of training with Tomi! She is unbelievably professional and super sweet, you will love training your dog with her. Our Goldendoodle, Wally, was a challenge when we first brought him home. Tomi offers in-house training privately— we did one session with her and she was a GENIUS! She taught him new tricks and taught US new methods for working with Wally. We then attended “Kindergarten” which was half puppy socialization and play (he really gets the zoomies out!) and half training. It was super beneficial, and we had a brand new dog after 6 weeks! At 4 months old, Wally had calmed down a lot, was able to go on walks successfully, and learned all new tricks (leave it, sit, stay, come, touch, down…). We are on our way home from his second round of traini

Tomi is an amazing dog trainer and true professional! Our dogs absolutely love when she comes to visit and so do we! We love her style of teaching and she does a really great job of teaching us not only training techniques, but the whys behind them to better understand our dogs. Highly recommended!

Tomi came highly recommended by dog people “in the know” and we are incredibly grateful to her for her expertise. She was the perfect fit for us and our dog, who is very reactive to other dogs and hadn’t been socialized with people. Not only does Tomi have great knowledge, but she explains everything very thoroughly and even more thoroughly in written instructions. She is patient and kind as well. We will be forever grateful for her help. Our dog is really showing great progress in a short amount of time. Thank you Tomi!!!

We use Tomi for private training and she is fantastic! She cares so much for our dog and is so knowledgable. She is still working with our dog on pulling on the leash but we are already seeing improvements! We love Tomi and HIGHLY recommend her!
