Tim was fantastic to work with for Nash’s training. He was punctual for every session, attentive throughout, and clearly cares about the success of the training. He sent detailed reminders ahead of sessions and followed up afterward to make sure we were on track. We’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated, reliable dog trainer. More...

Our trainer was Tim McElyea and we give him 5 Stars!! Tim was always prompt, very hands on with our pup, made training homework assignments very simple for us and provided feedback on the progress we were making. He also provided additional resources that we could use for specific problem areas. We would definitely recommend Tim to anyone looking for an excellent trainer for their dogs. More...

Tim was extremely helpful when training my puppy. He helped me to get her to stop jumping on people when she greets them as well as gave me various other tips and tricks to help with day to day life. I feel very confident to take her out to dinner and on walks/hikes. More...

We highly recommend working with Tim McElyea! He is very knowledgeable and really focused on training us, the owners, instead of training our puppy. He set us up with the tools to continue training our dog for life. We really enjoyed with work him and appreciate his services! More...

Kaitlin Taylor
We worked with Tim McElyea and he is fantastic. We had recently adopted a 6 month old puppy from the shelter and we were having a hard time adjusting. He didn’t have any previous training and did not know any basic commands. Within just a few weeks we have seen a huge improvement. Tim’s method is to teach the owner how to train the dog and it really works great. We highly recommend him for training your pup! More...
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing the results of the training especially if there is a behavioural problem that is keeping the family from bonding with the dog. If we can change that into a positive behavior it is great to see how much that helps improve the relationship.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always enjoyed training my own dogs. Then some neighborhood friends asked me for help with their dog that was lunging at people and very aggressive. We were able to redirect that energy and the dog now goes on runs with mom in the neighborhood and can actually go to Doggie Day Care now. That makes you feel good to help people with their pets.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am very passionate about Dog Training. My main goal is to improve communications between people and their dogs. However, I am also very adamite that the team learns way to keep the dog safe and healthy. I include that training in my packages even if it is not requested.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. I can provide some training remotely via Video but it is not as effective as when I am on site in person with the dog and its owner.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Most of my sessions are now outdoors but I can wear a mask if the situation requires it.
