Canine Compassion Healing and Training

I was struggling with leash training and believed that my newly adopted dog was aggressive, but only while on the leash. Despite this behavior, he is actually a gentle and loving dog. After three weeks of struggling, I sought help from Thommy, a compassionate professional. To my surprise, he explained why Charlie was acting this way and how my own behavior was contributing to the problem. It all made perfect sense and after just an hour, both Charlie and I were in a much better place. Moving forward, I will continue to work with the knowledge that I have gained and will not hesitate to bring Thommy back if we encounter any roadblocks. I highly recommend his services and would give him more than 5 stars if I could. Sincerely, Elizabeth D.

Our girl's behavior has improved immensely with Tommy's amazing training skills! Despite her stubborn nature, we noticed a positive change in her instantly during his first session with her. Not only is he teaching our dog, but he's also training us to continue the training effectively. His extensive knowledge and patience are impressive. We highly recommend his services to anyone seeking to train their dog – 10/10!

This morning, I witnessed Thommy's dog whispering skills firsthand. My new dog has been overly protective of me and has a tendency to pull on his leash and become hyper when anyone is nearby. Upon Thommy's arrival, I immediately noticed a difference in Diggy's behavior. From the moment Thommy introduced himself to Diggy, until the time he left us, I was completely captivated by his abilities. I even handed Thommy Diggy's leash and walked ahead of them, as Diggy trotted beside him like a champion. After a long week with Diggy, Thommy lifted a weight off my shoulders and gave me and Diggy homework. If you're looking for a dog trainer who doesn't resort to harsh tones or abusive methods, look no further than Thommy at Canine Compassion. Give him a call if you're in need of a trainer or are considering getting a dog and want to ensure they're properly trained without any unnecessary harm. After Thommy's visit, I think I'll finally be able to get some rest tonight!

Because we've always had dogs, when we rescued our new pet, we weren't too concerned. However, Henry had several issues. He would jump on people and dogs, nip, and had trouble with the leash. But the most troubling aspect was when he would immediately switch from being a cute little dog to becoming hyper and aggressive if someone or a dog turned their back on him. It wasn't good. We attempted to utilize group training in the local pet store, but Henry was very disruptive. The store suggested we try socialization via their daycare program, but even after an initial evaluation, they refused to take him. We refused to let Henry fail and researched until we found Canine Compassion and Healing with Thommy Harley on CrackerJack. Thommy's values and descriptions on his site opened our eyes to him. When Thommy came to our home, our crazy little dog wasn't threatened by his calming presence, and it appeared that they immediately understood each other. Thommy trained me by explaining what triggered Henry and why. You can't change a behavior if you don't understand the why. After the first session, I knew Henry was going to succeed. A few days later, Thommy took us to a bustling environment with a shopping center, pet store, walking spaces with lots of sounds, distractions, trucks, people, and animals. Henry amazed us! He didn't tug on his leash, gently approached dogs and people, and although he was still very interested in everything going on, he wasn't aggressive or barking hysterically. It seemed like he understood he could be curious and confident at the same time, and it was all due to Thommy's guidance throughout our outing. Thommy also provided us with tips on feeding, toys, and activities, and suggested other resources to investigate. Don't hesitate to read Thommy's thoughts on dog behavior. The phrase "Compassion and Healing" sums it all up. Call Thommy to become confident and joyful with your canine companion!

Canine Compassion's Tommy has been an absolute help in bettering my German Shepherd's behavior on the leash and in overall training. He genuinely cares about the canines he trains and employs constructive reinforcement techniques to boost their self-assurance. After just a few weeks, I've observed significant progress and would confidently suggest Canine Compassion to those in search of an intelligent and dependable trainer!
