I have worked with Dave Tomey and can't say enough about how much he has helped me and my little dude, a Mexi rescue who was terrified of his own shadow and struggling to adjust to a new environment. I highly recommend Dave's services.
Aviva has done amazing work helping my fear reactive dog come out of his shell. I have also worked in the past with BabyDog in puppy obedience classes, which were amazing. Highly recommend!
We have had incredible success with Aviva and our dog Blue in the first four sessions we have done! We are looking forward to our next set of sessions and to see all of the skills our little pup can learn!
Maisy & I really enjoyed & learned a lot from our puppy classes. Definitely recommend!!
BabyDog is an amazing company. We have a rescue chihuahua mix who was fearful, shy, and had trouble walking on leash. We attended socialization classes (the shy puppy class at Royal Oak Bosley's), basic training, and intermediate training. We are truly raising a dog we can take anywhere! Aviva and Ruth personalize classes when needed and possible, and really engage with the dogs and their families. Our dog's needs were met and so were ours. I cannot recommend BabyDog highly enough! Their training classes are well worth the price, and their flexible drop-in model is fantastic. I could never thank Aviva and Ruth enough for how much they have helped us connect and learn with our dog :)
Meg was wonderful. She had such a calm approach with all the pups and understood they all come from different backgrounds. I highly recommend. :)
My pup was very shy at first and quite nervous around other dogs. After attending Babydog's Puppy Socializations he came out of his shell and had so much fun playing with the other dogs. They also taught me skills of what to look for in safe puppy play :) Can't recommend enough :)
We are so happy with the progress our dog has made and recommend them to anyone! Our trainer Ruth was amazing and we had such a great time working with her.
