Testimonials

““Tori is, hands down, one of the most driven and energetic trainers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She thinks outside the box, and her training style is not “one size fits all.” She truly trains the dog in front of her. I have three dogs—two Belgian Malinois and one XL American Bully—and she has played a large role in the development of all three, as well as in my own development as a handler.

Tori is always able to problem-solve in any situation, whether it involves competing in sport, personal protection work, or just everyday pet dog training around the house.

She is a wonderful trainer and an even more wonderful person, and I feel truly lucky to have been able to learn so much from her.””

“After rescuing my staff, Georgia, it was obvious that I needed help with her leash reactivity. She had been abandoned and gone through a lot. Tori came highly recommended from another trainer and from our first phone call I knew that she was the perfect fit for us. I had spoken with a few other trainers but right away I knew Tori completely understood the situation, and she was not at all pushy or trying to sell a program. It was clear that her focus is what would be best for my dog. What she taught us on the first day had an immediate effect on Georgia, and her confidence and our bond continues to grow through our training with Tori!”

“Working with Tori over the past three weeks has been nothing short of transformative for our dog, Shiloh. We originally reached out to her for help with his reactivity, which had made everyday activities, especially walks, stressful and unpredictable. On the very first day they met, Shiloh wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. He was lunging, snapping, and making it clear he wasn’t comfortable. Yet within just 30 minutes, Tori’s calm presence, patience, and expertise allowed her not only to get close to him but also confidently place a leash on him.

Tori visits our home three days a week, working with Shiloh on his reactivity, his walking skills, and anything else she observes that could support his improvement. Her intuitive understanding of dogs, combined with her dedication and consistency, has made a remarkable difference in such a short time.

Thanks to Tori, I can now take Shiloh on walks without fear of being pulled through the mud or worrying about unpredictable reactions. His confidence, and ours, has grown tremendously. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and genuine love she has shown our sweet boy.

Tori is truly an exceptional trainer, and we cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for Shiloh and our family.”

“Absolutely loved working with Tori over the past few years! She helped me tackle aggression issues with both my Doberman and Malinois—each with their own unique challenges. Tori takes the time to truly connect with your dog, understands what makes them tick, and tailors her approach to fit their needs. Not all dogs are the same, and Tori gets that. Whether you want a well-mannered companion or a top-tier protection/sport dog, Tori will help you and your pup reach your goals together. Highly recommend!”
