You can’t get any better than Toni when it comes to training your dog. Toni is the New York version of the dog whisperer. She has helped me so much with my dog. She works with both the dog and the owner to find the solution to whatever problem you have or may have. Toni is the best!!!

I consider Toni Walton to be the best dog trainer I have ever used. Many people know how to train dogs. It is the rare individual who can train almost ANY human to train his or her own dog consistently and for a long-term happy relationship. I have learned this lesson: It’s the human that is the problem with most dog behavior problems.

Toni is an excellent trainer! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and also very sweet and patient with our dog, Gracie. Toni helped train Gracie to: sit, stay, come, leave it, walk on a loose leash, play dead, rollover, high five/high ten, bow, jump over my leg, and several other tricks. The best thing about Toni is that she also trained me, which helped me be more consistent in my training with Gracie while we were at home. Training sessions with Toni also helped my dog and I develop a deeper bond. I noticed that after several training sessions, Gracie would look at me more often, as if waiting for my instructions. Gracie is a very attentive and responsive pup, and I think a lot of that is because of our consistent training with Toni. I can’t say enough good things about Toni and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch trainer!

I highly recommend you hire Toni Walton. My wife and I met her when we signed up for dog training taught by Toni in 2017. We liked her approach right away: She is all about positive reinforcement. When we started the classes with Toni, our 3-year-old mini goldendoodle, who had already taken dog training classes elsewhere, was still excitedly jumping on everyone he met on the street. By the end of our time with Toni, he went from being that dog who jumps on everyone to a dog who now sits and allows people to pet him. He also passed the Canine Good Citizen Test the first time he took it thanks to Toni’s patient guidance. To be honest, when we started the class, we never thought he would be capable of doing that! Toni has a great rapport with dogs and people, and we really enjoyed learning from her. Our dog loved her, too.

I never had a small dog before and wasn’t sure how to train my 12 week Maltese puppy named Zoey, but Toni knew how. I always came to class with so many questions about everything from training my puppy to what clothes and harnesses to buy etc. and I have to say Toni answered every single one of them. Toni was never annoyed by my questions. She also was not afraid to correct me when I wasn’t following her directions with certain commands, and I really appreciated that. She is a very caring trainer and extremely patient with both the puppy and the parent. I cannot say enough good things about her. Her commitment and love for what she does shined through every session that we had. I would highly recommend her without any hesitation. Thank you,
