We Work With Dog Owners Facing Issues Like These, Every Single Day

  • My dog lacks manners, and it's embarrassing.
  • Other trainers didn't help, and I'm at a loss for what to do.
  • My dog pulls me down the street, and I'm worried we might get hurt.
  • My dog runs off and won't come back, and I'm afraid they'll get hit by a car or worse.
  • My dog barks at the door and the fence, and our neighbors aren't happy.
  • My dog reacts to other dogs, cats, cars and people on walks, and it's very frustrating.

We Believe You Deserve

Clear communication between your dog and you.

Far less frustration in your relationship.

A lower stress life with your dog.

A dog that wants to be your partner.

Apollo, a Shih Tzu mix, after training with Tod

"Tod is truly a dog whisperer."

My Apollo is a Shih Tzu mix.
He was an 18 month old rescue when I got him, and he was the most hyper dog.
All he wanted to do was play ball 24 hours a day.
Before I met Tod, Apollo spent 2 weeks in board and train with another trainer and came back just as hyper as he left.
Tod had Apollo watching his every move and behaving within the first 10 minutes.
He came back to me calm and willing to obey.
He is now a joy, thanks to Tod.

About Tod McVicker

IACP CDT/PDTI/CDTA

I began showing Cardigan Welsh Corgis in AKC conformation around 1987.
Over the years, I discovered a gift for building trust between dogs, their owners, and other dogs.

After I turned over control of my life to my "Good Master," I found a clear calling to follow this path.
I help owners and dogs break down the walls and repair these relationships.
My wish is to create for you the correct role as leader, and move your dog to the role of a trusting pack member.

"Tod is an amazing dog trainer!"

He trained my 6 month old golden retriever puppy in April of 2023.
We did the board and train, and he did a great job communicating the lessons of the day, giving advice, and explaining his methods.
We still use Tod for boarding when we're out of town, and we're so fortunate to have someone we can 100% trust with our furry best friend.
I will always recommend him to anyone.

Board & Train

If you dream of on and off leash control of your dog, a 21 day board and train program may be for you.
I never take more than two client dogs in for training at a time.

Puppy Training

You start training your puppy the moment you meet it.
The question is whether you're training good behaviors on purpose, or letting random moments teach bad habits.
