It was another beautiful day in San Francisco. I put on my running shoes, grabbed my headphones and her leash. We headed out for our usual 3-mile run with a short break a Crissy Filed. It was one of those […]

Theo has made living in our busy “dog-friendly” building and neighborhood possible. Her ability to train my husband and I (because, who are we kidding, she’s mostly training us) has been life changing and worth every penny.
I am no longer trying to fill unrealistic caregiver expectations. Harley no longer has to wonder exactly what it is he is suppose to do. Clarity, you gave us the gift of clarity. Thank you!
The change in our dog was immediate and significant. After ONE training session with Theo and Rob, our dog was 90% calmer and better behaved.
I would recommend Theo to anyone I know that has a dog in need of training. You just can’t find anyone more qualified to train dogs, as now I am a happy owner of a very confident, loving shepherd.
Within a couple of minutes Theo had full control of Sydney, walking next to her side and looking nothing like our dog. Theo taught us what we are doing wrong as owners and following her training tips made us take control in Sydney’s reaction to the outside world.
Theo has been utterly amazing and I’m thrilled we found her after moving from NYC to San Francisco.
