"I think you would be hard pressed to find many people better than Tyler in the country. I have watched a ton of his footage and his training is spot on".
- Dan Audet, Modern K9
"I just wanted to tell you that we had a great thanksgiving with all the family here and we were able to have the dogs with us too. Even in this small house it worked out great we didn't have to exclude them, we didn't have to crate them, or keep them separated. They were wonderful when everybody came in with their place and it was all because of you."
-Nancy Dohn, Baylee, Chloie, and Hunter
"When I met you and Josh with the King sitting on the big red ball in front of Target I knew you were the answer to my prayers. After about two months I have a different dog. We go to the park with his brother(Border). No leash on ever. You train me and I train them. People love to watch them down and come on command. So I tell them just to go and talk to you and they can do the same. It is hard to believe that people wanted me to put Breaker down and start with another border.
Thanks again I really look forward to coming to classes".
- Bernie & Breaker
"Thank you again for all of your help. Poppy has been extremely pleasant to walk for the past few days! We haven't crossed any dogs directly yet (I'm thinking of taking her to Chesnut Ridge tonight to see how she does), but she has not been barking at things on the side of the road (dogs or things that surprise her) that would previoulsy get her wound up. It's been great...thank you so much. I'm sure you hear this all the time, but it's nothing short of a miracle :) and I appreciate it so much!
Very Best,"

 "I have a 2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Cricket who totally disrespected me. She never came when I called, and even seemed to taunt me by turning to look and then running off to the neighbor's. She attacked my cats, my vacuum cleaner, jumped at cars while I was walking her on her leash, barked like a mad woman and was just an all around little menace to society. I had taken her through a basic generic obedience class - sit, stay, down and it didn't really do much for her.
Our neighbors have 2 young girls that my corgi chased one too many times and I was chewed out by their father to the point I was in tears. With spring rapidly approaching, I couldn't stand the thought of another altercation with the neighbor and I just wanted some peace in my house. I found Tyler's website and shot him an email. He called the next day and listened to my problems. We had our evaluation and Cricket responded so quickly to him, I knew he was what she needed. Well, what I needed. It's really all about the dog's person and I needed to learn how to be a good pack leader for her.
After only the first week, I could see a huge difference in her. We began going to his group classes, and although she would still have bursts of "get away from my toys" at the other dogs, she was listening better. During the next few weeks' classes,Tyler instructed me on how to deal with her outbursts, and helped me become more relaxed with her.
We've only been training for 2 months and she is like a totally new dog. Once my "worst" pet (I have 3 dogs and 4 cats), she is now my model citizen. She is amazing in the group classes, a fantastic pack member on our twice daily walks, comes when she's called, doesn't bug the neighbor... and best of all, she just passed her Canine Good Citizen test and certification test to become a therapy dog. Soon she will be spreading her special kind of fun to hospital patients who need some cheer. I couldn't be prouder of her and can say without a doubt that the training is completely worth the time and investment. I've used what I've learned on all of my dogs and it has created a great bond with the pack. Even my 12 year old shepherd/pit bull mix has relaxed immensely now that he doesn't have to be the reluctant pack leader. It's my job and I'm completely comfortable with it. Thanks Tyler!"

 "When we adopted a 4 month old lab mix from the SPCA and we first brought him into our home, we said "ok, he's just a puppy, he'll grow out of it." Well he sure did grow, but not out of it. The jumping, biting, chewing, and aggressiveness just became excessive. We started to second guess adopting him. Friends stopped coming to visit and the damage was adding up fast. We were referred to Tyler and K9 connection from a friend who also used his services. From the first visit we were amazed with Tyler's knowledge and his ability to get our dog "Odie" to learn and obey, something we weren't sure was possible. In a very short time Tyler had Odie following commands and eager to learn our next move. Friends and family are no longer afraid to come over and we have our home back. Odie is now a pet instead of a nuisance and we are now proud to walk Odie down the street. Thank you so very much Tyler."
- Cathy, Jeanne, and Odie

 "I belong to a German Shepherd Rescue. I had a Beautiful Male German Shepherd named Benson come into my home. Though he adored me, he had 'trust issues' with most other people. Besides weighing in at just under 100 lbs, Benson's looks were very intimidating, but under that "rough exterior" was a sweet, gentle, loyal soul that desperately wanted to find a stable, loving home.
In order that he be able to adopt and live a safe, happy life, Tyler agreed to work on his fear/trust issues with people. Tyler gave me directions on how to manage and help Benson learn to trust others. I am happy to say that Benson has adopted to a wonderful woman, who continues to work with him. He is doing extremely well. Thank you Tyler for seeing the Wonderful Dog underneath the exterior, and working to help Benson in his journey to his Forever Life."
- Rose Radlich, BrightStar German Shepherd Rescue

 "We contacted Tyler after we had rescued a nearly feral Bearded Collie mix. She was absolutely frightened of absolutely everything. A Veterinarian recommended Tyler to us. We called. He came to our home and sat with us for several hours and watched the dog in question. All of Tyler's recommendations have been right on. He spoke directly to my husband and myself. Asked questions, gave suggestions and did not leave us until we knew exactly what we should do. I felt extremely confident in all of Tyler's advise. I felt at ease with him. And the dog- Maisie May was also very comfortable with Tyler.
I would strongly suggest tapping into Tyler's expertise and knowledge. As a matter of fact Tyler will be coming back out to our home to continue to help us with Maisie as we meet other hurtles with her. If there is an animal in your life that you need help with. That requires a professional. I would suggest calling Tyler. It is time and money well spent. What alot of people don't always realize is that, the owners are sometimes the reason an animal is not progressing. Tyler is excellent at seeing and working with the "Whole Picture." Call him,you won't be sorry!"
- Dennis and Martha Gregor and Maisie May

 "I called K9 Connection as I was having some issues with bringing a new pup into our home. I have a 3 year old chocolate lab, Emma who is outstanding with behavior and temperament. I recently saved a black Lab, Otis who was having difficulties with greetings and walking on a leash. Otis would at times bully Emma. I called Tyler we spoke of the issues over the phone and he gave me insight on how to address some of the concerns. Tyler came over and showed how to properly walk Otis and made me realize that Otis was Alpha dog, and acting out so I would recognize this. Once I learned this and treated Otis as Alpha, he immediately stopped bullying Emma. He is much better on a leash now and with greetings. My parents can handle walks with him and enjoy babysitting the dogs much more.
I highly recommend Tyler. He was patient and very understanding with the issues. My dogs liked him and welcomed him."
