 From
the owners of an out of control dog
I can’t thank Ty
enough for his help with our little Yorkie/Maltese mutt,
Louie. My husband and I got him as a puppy hoping we would
be able to potty train him from a young age. Both of us
had only owned bigger dogs and knew it might be a little
tough with a smaller dog. We started with puppy pads in
our apartment, and he would decide to go on those sometimes,
but still would continuously go on the carpet, the couch,
and even our bed! When we moved into a house with a yard,
we thought he would do better since we would be able to
let him out more. Nothing changed. In fact, the freedom
made it worse.
He had become a 10 lb. terror, barking/whining all through
the night, going to the bathroom in the house after we had
been outside with him for half an hour, bolting out the
door when people would come over, and had a big problem
with submissive peeing.
However, he is the sweetest, cuddliest dog. Everyone loves
him. He’s never had aggression issues and is great
with kids. He just didn’t seem to want to want to
go to the bathroom outside, and had overwhelming anxiety
over everything. After putting up with this for 2 years,
my husband was at his wit’s end. I told him we should
call Ty the Dog Trainer whom we had heard of from 97.1.
In our first session, Louie fought back a little, but by
the end of the night he was calm and very obedient. After
just our first appointment, Louie started going to the door
when he needed to go to the bathroom and only had 1 accident
inside. He no longer barks in the night or early in the
morning. He has very limited submissive urination. All of
our friends have noticed how much calmer he is when there
are people around. And most important, he is a happier dog.
The discipline and structure has helped take away most of
his anxiety.
Ty also helped my husband and I to teach Louie in the correct
ways. Many of the things we were doing to try to train Louie
were actually contributing to his bad behaviors. It’s
been about 4 weeks since our first appointment with Ty,
and Louie is doing so well. We never imagined he would be
this behaved and in such a short amount of time! Again,
we are so grateful to Ty for all his help, we never would
have been able to do this without him!

 From
the owner of a previously aggressive dog
We are the owners of a 2 year old Lhasa Apso. Simon is his
name. He was lovable and friendly… but only when he
wanted to be. He had a mind of his own, which he would use
frequently and far too often.
Simon had the habit of biting or nipping at people in our
home as a way of showing that he was in charge. Well after
he bit our 6 year old son on the face, we made the decision
to find him another home. In the process of searching for
a place for Simon to live we heard about Ty The Dog Trainer.
Our nephew and his family used Ty to train their Lhasa Apso
which produced great results. We had the same experience.
Ty came to our home for 3 – 2 hour sessions over the
space of 6 weeks and it was awesome!
After lesson 1 we could already see amazing progress. This
once nervous, angry and aggressive animal had turned into
a disciplined, sweet and friendly pup. Each session proved
to be better than the last. The end result is astonishing.
We can now take Simon for walks without a leash with no
worries, and our little dog now loves people. He is truly
a part of our family. Simon is happier, we are happier and
the feeling in our home is calm, loving and peaceful. We
now have a dog who instead of being a worry and concern
is well mannered, well behaved and above all…Well
trained!
Thank you Ty. Your training methods made all the difference
in the world!
Sincerely,
Happy with Simon – The Arnovick Family
 From
the frustrated owner of a Siberian Husky
We adopted Lyla, an 11 month old Siberian Husky almost a
year ago. She was a loving, energetic girl and we fell in
love with her immediately. Within a few months, though,
she began to develop some bad behaviors. We tried everything
we could think of to train her to stop the unwanted behaviors.
She bolted out the front door, stole food off the counters,
and pestered our other dog endlessly. The barking, however,
was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The barking
continued to escalate over several months until we reached
the point that she barked non-stop from the time we got
home from work until we went to bed each night. At our wits
end, we looked into some other (extremely expensive) dog
training programs, until we found Ty.
What a difference Ty has made in our lives! The barking
stopped after just one appointment with Ty (during which
he never actually heard her bark). He supported us not only
with our training sessions, but with phone calls and e-mails
between sessions when we had questions/concerns. Ty exceeded
our expectations and helped us achieve every one of our
desired behaviors with Lyla. She is much calmer, more focused
and has attained a level of obedience we never dreamed we
could achieve.
We can’t thank you enough, Ty!
Joe and Tonya
 A
Salt Lake City Dachshund Owner
"Without thinking I dove head first into taking on
a dachshund who needed a new home. His previous home had
3 young boys who really gave him a hard time and thus, he
had an affinity for trying to annihilate the neighbor kids.
Ty came to the rescue and set to work training me. He made
sure I had a good understanding of why my dog was behaving
the way he was, explained to me what I needed to do to correct
the unwanted behavior, and then spent hours working with
Cujo and me to correct the behavior. Along with aggression,
Ty also helped in bad house behaviors such as jumping, begging,
etc. Cujo and I had a strong bond before the training, but
an even better one after. His behavior improved immensely-with
hard work, but for the first time I had the proper tools
and resources. My Little Man is the light of my life and
the best house guest a dog-mom could ask for, all thanks
to Ty! And to top it all off, he is still available to answer
any questions I have, whether it's regarding Cujo or any
of my other dogs. Thanks so much Ty! It was money/time/effort
well spent!"
 Salt
Lake City owner of a Great Dane
Hey Ty, I wanted to send a note to tell you how thrilled
we are with the results we have accomplished with Atticus.
It was such a positive experience for our family to work
with you. Your perspective on dog behavior is right on target
and that, in turn, gets great results.
With Atticus having aggression issues and him being a 3
year old, 140 pound Great Dane, I was very nervous about
the training experience. You let me work at my comfort level,
only asking for the next step when I felt Atticus and I
were ready. (Wait a minute, was it me or Atticus who was
being trained?) I felt like any question I asked was valid.
You have a great way of explaining your techniques and
always checking to see that the tasks were understood and
that we were able to follow through on them. With your positive
training methods we are able to manage the aggression behavior.
You have really made a change in our lives and I would
recommend you to anybody who is seeking help. Thanks so
much!

 Salt
Lake City owners of a Mastiff
"We are so delighted and thankful for your wonderful
training services with our 200lb baby mastiff Zeppelin.
As our youngest puppy, he has been a handful from the beginning
(apparently your first dog doesn't train the new puppy -
who knew?). When I realized that I could no longer control
this puppy I called CommuniCanine in Utah right away. We
were so very pleasantly surprised at the puppy that came
home after only 3 weeks.
Thank you so much Ty - it has been amazing to see such
a huge transformation in Zeppelin in such a short amount
of time. Since his time with you, we've taken him to parks
and many many walks where he has proved to be a gentle,
friendly, and well behaved giant. He walks by my side (on
and off the leash), he sits, stays, and lays down upon command,
and he comes to my side when I call him every time. It's
absolutely wonderful."

 From
Salt Lake City Dog Owners
Ty, Thank you so much for all of your help. Our dog Millie
has always been a sweetheart--albeit a naughty one.
After your training sessions she is so much better about
not pulling on the leash when we go on walks, coming when
called, and not assaulting our guests with slobbery kisses.
We noticed improvement after only one session and her behavior
continues to get better with each passing day.
Your techniques are fun, creative, and extremely effective.
We also enjoyed having you at our house for the training.
You were very funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. Thanks
for improving Millie's behavior, it is sure to make our
lives together so much more enjoyable! --
Theresa and Jim
 From
the owner of a previously aggressive German Shepherd.
Ty taught us how to make huge changes in our German Shepherd's
behavior. I honestly had my doubts that she would ever be
able to be off leash, stop barking at strangers, or basically
listen to us in general--but Ty proved me wrong.
We are enjoying her so much more now, and everyone can
tell that she is happier too. I am still amazed every day
at the changes I see in her. Ty gave us the control that
I never thought we would have. We got our life back and
we are now very proud parents--best money I ever spent.
Thank you Ty!!!
Jenn Bain - Draper, Utah
 From
the owner of an English Mastiff in Bountiful
Ty, I can’t begin to thank you enough for the training
and support you’ve provided for “my Ty”,
the English Mastiff and I.
Late last year, Ty was a 9 month old, 98 lb. English Mastiff
that had no training whatsoever. He left for a month of
your boot camp training and came back a wonderful addition
to the household. He could sit, lay down, stay in his place,
heel and walk nicely on and off –leash. Just as importantly,
he knew not to “counter surf”, lick or mouth
anyone or anything, eat from any dish except his, stay quietly
in his kennel when asked and to never jump on or around
anyone.
After his return, you’ve only been a phone call or
email away and have gone above and beyond the call of duty
when providing support. My Ty is now a handsome, 18 month
old, 160 lb. English Mastiff with flawless manners, exemplary
behavior and a joy to own. He and I have been diligent about
following your advice and training together each evening
for about 20 minutes plus a longer, more intensive 45 minute
session once a week. But its only the base training and
follow-ups you provided that got Ty and I to where we are
today.
Today, Ty is a dog that I can take off-leash anywhere,
anytime, for any reason. Even when we are in a “leash
required” area, I simply snap on his lead, stick its
handle in my pocket and tell him to “stay close”.
Not only do I never have to raise my voice, my commands
to Ty now are spoken so softly that people next to me often
don’t realize I’ve said anything. In addition
to the automatic “sit” when we stop walking
in the heel position, Ty comes to heel automatically when
we approach someone on the street or path when we’re
out on our walks. Not only does he still know his “Place”
command at home, it only takes him about 10 minutes to re-learn
his “Place” when we are out at a park or visiting
someone. And, most importantly, Ty is a dog that is happy.
Happy to follow my commands, happy to learn new skills,
happy to just be out and about. In social situations where
crowds of people might make other dogs timid or defensive,
Ty is comfortable, at ease and worry-free.
The training you started and supported so well has built
a level of trust between Ty and I….I trust that he’ll
do as I ask and he trusts that I’m in charge and he
only needs to worry about my commands. As the ultimate test
(I would think), Ty and I attended our department’s
summer party last Friday. It was held at Sugarhouse park,
had more than 100 people and was a potluck dinner with burgers
and hot-dogs barbecued by our management. Children and other
dogs where running through the crowd, meat was cooking and
being put out on picnic tables (which is eye-level for a
mastiff ) and at every turn someone was calling him, petting
him, talking to him or otherwise distracting him. Ty, in
all his glory, enjoyed himself immensely…..accepting
treats gently from children’s hands, never even glancing
at the plates of food that were spread all over the terrace
and staying either at my side or in his new “place”
the entire time. As I said, I can never thank you enough
for all you taught us both. An untrained or poorly trained
Mastiff could easily be a nightmare to own – instead
you gave me the “dog of my dreams”.

 From
a Salt Lake dog owner
Hi Ty, Just wanted to check in and let you know that Sierra
is doing REALLY well. I am so happy with her and she is
so much better behaved.
It is nice to be able to sit on my front porch and have
her out there with me enjoying things. She is great on trail
and responds well. Overall I am so very pleased with the
changes your help brought about in her behavior.
Take good care and thanks again.
Kathy
 From
the owner of a Black Russian Terrier
Thanks for all the encouragement and positive dog training.
It not only helped train Gabby but it's nice to to have
a system that teaches my kids how to love and respect animals.
It is great to watch Gabby follow my 2 year old around
the yard simply because he has her leash in his hand.
Ty with Communicanine, helped me so much with the entire
doggy process. The first time we spoke, I bombarded him
with questions. He was so gracious and took time to answer
all of them. He helped me along every step of the way, beginning
with the breed of dog, to finding a reputable breeder, then
finally training our newest family member. Thanks to Ty
we don't just have a dog, we have a great addition to our
family.
Sincerely,
The Collard Family
 From
the owner of a previously out of control Doberman
Ty is wonderful!! He took our 18 month old Doberman- Mya
who was hell on 4 legs and turned her into a very loving,
obedient and good family and house dog. In 3 short weeks
he took her from a barking, nipping, jumping, destroying
puppy to that of one that stays in her place when told,
doesn’t jump, stops barking when told to, and amazingly
enough can be walked off leash for blocks around children,
cars, cows, and other dogs and stays in a heel position.
My 4 boys and baby have gone from fearing the dog to loving
her and sleeping with her. They can now run across the back
yard without being nipped or knocked over, my neighbors
are even saying how amazingly well she is doing. People
are asking us all the time what we have done to get her
to obey so well.
Well, we have to say all the glory goes to Ty! Thanks Ty
I was at my wits ends and ready to give her away and now
she is the dog we hoped for! Thank you for turning our terrorist
dog into a great family dog- now only if you took teenagers
for 3 weeks!!!
Thanks, the Wallace family of Layton, Utah
 The
owner of two Sharpeis
Ty, I just wanted to write you to thank you for all the
help you have given in the training of my two Sharpei's
(Lexie and Sadie).
Before I heard about you I had spent countless time and
money trying to train my dogs myself. I never in a million
year thought I would acheive what we did in four sessions.
My concerns before were getting the dogs not to take me
for a walk and feeling confident that if they were to get
out they would come back when called.
After the four session not only did we address my issues
but we were able to teach them to lay down when told and
also to be out front without a leash. I had always been
told that Sharpei's were a breed that was hard to train
but you truly made it seem easy. I can't tell you how much
you have made my life a lot more enjoyable as well as my
dogs. You truly are a Dog's best friend.
Thank you again,
Lori Yates
 The
owner of a hyper poodle
Ty, I just wanted to say thanks for the training for Boo.
He has just been awesome. He is so much calmer and we have
been practicing the things on the list and he is doing great.
I thought he was good on a leash when we went walking, but
he is tons better now. I love it. I will definitely recommend
you to anyone who is having pet issues. Thanks again!
Sonya & Boo, West Valley
 The
brand new owner of an anxiety riddled Rottweiler
We met Ty a couple of months ago when we adopted Barney,
a three year old Rottweiler. Barney is a great dog but he
came to us after his beloved owner had suddenly passed away.
Barney was filled with severe anxiety anytime anyone left
the house. He would cry and pace the house and was a nervous
wreck.
Ty came to our home for the first visit and I mentioned
this problem. Ty gave us a couple of EASY suggestions to
implement during certain situations and within a week Barney
had calmed down and became a normal dog with NO anxiety!
We had four visits with Ty. Barney went from being a scared
and timid dog needing several repeats of the basic commands
to being an off leash well mannered dog during the 4th visit
with Ty. Now, my goal is do try out some obedience trials
for fun.
You will NOT go wrong with Ty as your dog trainer. You'll
only go wrong if you don't have him help you with your dog.
Ty is amazing and knows his stuff! Thanks Ty
Kelly R. - Kaysville, Ut
 A
satisfied client and 'veteran' of several other dog trainers
We have a Chocolate Lab, that we purchased when she was
4 months old. She was an adorable, rambunctious puppy. We
signed her up for puppy classes at Petsmart. After finishing
the class, we saw little change. We signed her up again,
hoping that his time, she might "get it". No such
luck. I searched Craigs list for a trainer. I found one,
that was cheap, and they came out to my home. One hour visit,
and one phone call to check in, after the fact - and that
was it! You get what you pay for. My dog was worse now than
before. She was resentful when I used the tactics from the
trainer, (which I found a bit cruel) and her misbehaving
was at an all time high. She was eating my wood fence, had
eaten 3 trees down beyond a stump, had chewed through my
air conditioner wires, had eaten a patio chair, the list
goes on and on. I tried Craigs list again. That is when
I found Ty! He was a little more than I wanted to spend,
but I decided that my dog was worth the investment to me,
and like I said before..... you get what you pay for. Ty
came to my home for three sessions of 2 hours each. He was
friendly to my dog, and to my family. He involved all of
us in the training process, so that our dog could be part
of the family. As he would try a new technique with our
dog, he would explain to us the method behind the training,
and why he thought it would be effective for her. His style
was not "cookie cutter", one size fits all. His
training was very specific to my dogs personal needs. He
gave us "homework" to work on until our next session,
and at any time, we could call for help. The results we
saw were amazing! A dog that once pulled us down the street,
would now walk by our side. A dog that jumped up on everyone,
now sat waiting to be pet. She still has "moments",
that we are working through......but when those moments
arrive, we know that Ty is just a phone call or email away!
We highly recommend Ty to anyone!
The Hartley Family
Alpine, Utah
 The
owner of a territorial, large breed dog
I have a great dog, he’s a bulldog mastiff mix and
he is 2 years old and his name is Ikaika. I love my dog,
and have always enjoyed owning dogs. One day in the spring
I was letting him out of his kennel and he raced over around
the house and started barking aggressively at a 4 year old
neighbor who had gone down our driveway. I immediately called
him back, and went towards him. He didn’t want to
come, and was intent on barking. I was worried about safety
because he is a large dog, I was scared and he was scared
and it made me even think of getting rid of him. I contacted
Ty about the incident and what things I could do to be a
better owner for Ikaika and how we could not have problems
like that in the future and insure safety.
Ty explained and helped me to understand why dogs will
behave like that, and the dynamics of owning a dog and being
a leader for the dog so he knows who is in charge. We worked
together for about 6 weeks and now I am a better owner and
he’s still a great dog. He still gets territorial
and barks, but comes immediately when called back, and is
not as nervous about people or children. We took advantage
of situations to learn from them and get comfortable with
all different types of people and scenarios. I take him
everywhere and he is great. Ty was easy to work and I will
always be glad that he worked with us.
Kia French- Springville, Utah
 A
listener of 97.1 zht where Ty is a regular guest sent this
letter in to the station and forwarded it on to us as well.
I can't thank you enough for having Ty (the dog trainer)
on your show a few months ago. I contacted Ty in hope he
could help with my 2 year old German Shepherd who weighs
about 100 + pounds. (Almost as much as me) Unfortunately
I got him right before winter and didn't spend the time
needed with a new puppy. He was a monster. I couldn't take
him out of the backyard, he would continually would get
out of his collar and take off, barking, jump on me and
my daughter. I called Ty in hope he could take BUCK for
3 weeks and have him trained, because I ASSUME THAT I WOULD
HAVE TO SPEND HOURS DAILY to get him to be somewhat normal.
Ty suggested a 3 or 4x training sessions. After the 1st
training session WE HAVE A NEW DOG. Buck will heal for me
and my 8 year old daughter, he has gone on 2 camping trips,has
gone without a leash at our cabin and stayed by ourside,
walks by other dogs without pulling. After 2nd session,
he doesn't jump up on us anymore and working on staying
for a longer period. It has only been 3 weeks and approx.
1 hour 5 times a week to change a 2 year old dogs behavior
to a new additional to our family. I highly suggest giving
Ty a call instead of thinking your dog is hopeless, boy
was I wrong. and Ty's prices are alot less than a new dog.
We had a mean outdoor dog that we proble couldn't have given
away, to Buck who will become an outdoor/indoor pet.

The following clients are owners of a Yorkie/Maltese
mix.
Working with Ty Brown has been a really great experience.
My dog Rikki was having trouble with housebreaking, basic
obedience and jumping on people. She now is almost completely
house broken, very obedient and almost never jumps on anyone
in just two sessions. I would highly recommend Ty to any
of my friends and family. He is great with dogs as well
as people! Plus, he comes to your house, who can beat that?!
Ty has also been very helpful with his follow up phone calls,
giving great tips and advice if Rikki is slipping in any
area. Please don’t hesitate to call Ty, it is definitely
worth the time and money to have the dog you’ve always
wanted!
- Katie and Matt
The following clients were having struggles getting
their Pit Bull/Vizsla mix and Bulldog to behave any of their
commands.
Ty, thank you, thank you, thank you! With your training
methods our dogs are becoming such "little people".
No more terrorizing guests when they arrive, no more jumping
and running all over the place destroying everything (and
everyone) in sight!Not only do adults enjoy spending time
with the dogs, they feel safe letting their kids come up
and play as well. I never thought we would get to that point
with Chopper!! Thank you for training us how to train our
dogs, we never could have done it without you.
Chopper, Tank, Michelle & Jess
The following client had a wolf hybrid puppy who
was out of control.
Hi Ty, I think anyone getting a dog and needs help training
should most definitly call you. You're like the dog wisperer
of Utah County! I want to thank you very much! You brought
me much closer to my best friend. I did not know how for
sure to train my dog. but for you it just came natural.
your a great trainer and a great teacher.
Thanks again
Shawn
The following client had gone to obedience classes
in the past with little progress.
I have a pug and had taken him to obedience classes, but
they did not address the issues I was having with my dog
Gabe. I was torn because of
the love I had for Gabe and the stress his behaviors were
causing me. Since Ty came the changes in Gabe have been
amazing, everyone that is
around him has noticed and best of all Ty worked on the
issues I needed help with. Now I know how to handle Gabe
and we are both much
happier. Thanks Ty!!
