We’re giving Tyrese at a Howling Good Time 5 stars because 10 isn’t an option! We were seeking extra help in training our dog, Mushy, who had developed habits of jumping, getting mouthy, and generally not respecting us. We chose the 3-4 week train and board session for Mushy, and would recommend that to anyone needing help gaining control over a highly energetic dog. While Mushy was away, we received videos and updates to follow along in real time and see his progress, which happened so much faster than we could’ve imagined! We truly couldn’t get over how much his tail was wagging in every video. When it came time to pick up Mushy, we had an excellent, productive session with Mushy and Tyrese to practice what he had learned and to gain the skills to reinforce his learning back at home. We are so pleased by the results, and although it will take time and effort on our end to maintain his training, we feel confident and motivated thanks to the help of Tyrese and his team. Thank you Tyrese for helping to make us feel safe and comfortable at home, and for loving our sweet boy as much as we do.

I honestly don’t have words strong enough to express how grateful we are to Tyrese at A Howling Good Time. He didn’t just train our dog – he gave us back peace in our home and a safe, happy relationship with our beloved Luna. When we first reached out, Luna had extreme resource guarding issues. She would growl, snap, and even lunge over food, toys, and anything she considered “hers.” It was heartbreaking and stressful – we were constantly on edge, worried about safety, and felt like we were failing her. We had tried everything and were at our wits’ end. Tyrese stepped in with incredible expertise, compassion, and a completely positive, force-free approach that never once made Luna feel threatened. He broke everything down into manageable steps, taught us how to read her body language, and showed us exactly how to build trust and redirect her behavior. Session by session, we watched Luna transform. The growling stopped. The stiffness around her bowl disappeared. Now she drops toys on command, allows us to take anything from her without a hint of tension – something we never thought possible. Tyrese doesn’t just train dogs; he educates and empowers owners. His clear explanations, customized plans, and ongoing support made all the difference. He celebrated every tiny victory with us and gave us the confidence we needed to keep going. Luna absolutely adores him – she gets so excited for every session! If you’re dealing with resource guarding or any serious behavior issue, please don’t wait – contact Tyrese at A Howling Good Time. He is patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about every dog and family he works with. He turned what felt like an impossible situation into one of our greatest success stories. We have our sweet, relaxed Luna back, and our home feels safe and joyful again. Thank you, Tyrese – you are a miracle worker! 🐾❤️

A Howling Good Time Dog Training has been fantastic for my two-year-old pitbull and for me. Tyrese and the team were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and helpful, not only in building my dog's confidence but also in teaching me how to handle her correctly. Even after our four-week session wrapped up, Tyrese has continued to be available for questions and assistance at any time. This level of dedication is truly amazing and has made a huge difference in our lives. I can't recommend them enough!

I come from a purely positive background, but after 3 months with my adult southern street dog rescue, I realized the positive approach was not going to change the behavioral issues I was struggling with. The relationship I had with my new best friend wasn't great and we were both frustrated. After doing tons of research and discovering balanced dog training, I reached out to Tyrese and we started working together very quickly. I noticed improvements after our first session and had a totally different dog by the third session. I cannot recommend Tyrese and A Howling Good Time enough. The work he's doing is amazing and I'm incredibly grateful for the time, effort, and patience he took with me and my dog. Thanks to him, we can enjoy going for walks, sitting on a patio, and being out in public in general. He worked with my wildly crazy schedule and taught me how to effectively use the tools I needed to help my dog become more confident and comfortable in her new life. Tyrese is my number one recommendation for training and behavioral modification. I will definitely be a client for life.
