The trainers here did wonders for my dog. He was very young and needed to learn basic obedience and after a week with Ty and team, it did wonders and really established great fundamentals I can use moving forward. They also take the best pictures and always gave great and detailed daily updates.

We had a great experience with Ty, Laura and team. Norman, our 140 lb Great Bernese, was too large to have anything other than impeccable leash manners. After a two-week board and train, he's been a completely new dog on-leash. He's also happier overall and we appreciated the consistent excellent communication while we were away. Would recommend!

Bow Wow Behavioral exceeded my expectations in so many ways! I boarded my Maltese with them for three days, and received cute video updates each morning. The videos showed a big yard that the dogs seemed really happy in. Bow Wow was extremely responsive to my questions, and offered a pick-up/drop-off option that was convenient and very prompt. I will definitely be using their boarding service again!

Ty is an exceptional trainer, displaying remarkable patience and personable dedication.

His genuine love for his work, dogs, and teaching shines through in every session. With my dog, our focus was on obedience commands, leash training, and addressing reactivity towards other dogs.
Thanks to Ty's guidance, we've reached a turning point.
Now, our walks are enjoyable, and we can spend more quality time at the park without constant redirection.
It's been a game-changer for both me and my pup!
Thank you, Ty!

We sent our dog Apollo to a week of board & train with Ty, Kyle, and Laura while we were away on our honeymoon. We were initially trepidatious because we had never done anything like this for our dog. Now, walking Apollo is like walking with a brand new dog! They did such a great job working with him on his bad walking habits. They also worked with him on his separation anxiety--I was so impressed! The best part was seeing how happy Apollo was to see Ty and Kyle during our recap lesson; it really lets you know that your dog not only learned, but that the staff at Bow Wow treats the dogs beautifully. I am definitely going to continue his training with Bow Wow! he loved it and we love the results!

Ty, Laura, and Kyle are devoted, caring and experienced trainers. Cali, 6 months old and very active, went for the 7 day camp and we've been amazed at how thoroughly she's incorporated the basics they taught her. We are so pleased and highly recommend BowWow Behavioral!

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful training provided by Ty. Our energetic and sometimes unruly pup, Tucker, has transformed under Ty's guidance. If you're in search of a skilled dog trainer, Ty is the one to choose.

From the very first session, Ty showcased an impressive understanding of canine behavior and effective training techniques. He took the time to assess Tucker's personality and tailored his approach accordingly. The sessions were both effective and enjoyable for Tucker, which made a significant difference.

One of our main concerns was Tucker's behavior on the leash, but with Ty's consistent training, we have seen remarkable improvement. He implemented various techniques that gradually helped Tucker become more comfortable on the leash while maintaining good leash manners. It's been a positive experience for both Tucker and us.

In addition to leash training, Ty also worked on Tucker's obedience skills. He patiently taught Tucker basic commands, such as sit, stay, and come, using positive reinforcement methods. Ty's positive and encouraging approach created a great learning environment for Tucker.

Throughout the training process, Ty was always available to address our questions and provide support. He showed genuine care for Tucker's progress and our confidence in continuing the training at home.

If you're looking for an effective and positive dog trainer, Ty is an excellent choice.

Ty helped us to train our French bulldog when we got him, and he helped us so much! We also boarded Misha a few times and we couldn’t be happier! We get several pictures/video updates and he gets a backyard to run around in. He always is so happy there and they treat him like one of their own! We know we can relax when Misha is there, because he is safe, cared for, and having a fun time!! Plus they pick up/drop off which is so nice.
