What They Say
Discover how our personalized approach has made a difference for our clients and their furry friends!
We strongly recommend Twahlee and his Metro Dog Training! As he told us, dogs in all stages are trainable, not only a puppy, we are thinking of going back to class when Takito reaches certain age to reinforce his behavior.

Twahlee is an INCREDIBLE trainer. I can’t say enough good things about this program. Well worth every penny. Twahlee is thorough in explaining what to do and why we do it when it comes to training. Our dog Olive was an anxious mess before we started her training. And now she is more confident than ever before. Even her daycare has made comments about how more confident and relaxed she is. I would give 6/5 stars if I could.

Life-changing. That’s what Twahlee and Metro Dog Training was for us and our rescue dog, Mia. She has severe anxiety and he helped her transform from a dog who likes to hide, into a courageous little dog who sought opportunities to explore the world – people, parks, car trips, store trips, etc . Almost as importantly, he taught us to accept her for who she was, and helped us realize how hard she was trying. This helped us see how far she had truly come with the training.
