Our Mission
Our Mission: Raising Great Dogs Starts with Puppyhood
Why TOLO?
TOLO means They Only Live Once, and that’s exactly how we approach puppyhood training. You only get one chance to raise them right.
Most behavior problems in adult dogs come from missed moments during their first year. That’s why TOLO exists: to help families build great dogs by investing in the one year that matters most.
We don’t just train puppies—we coach the people raising them.
That’s why I call myself a Puppyhood Trainer. It’s more than a title. It’s a commitment to guiding not just the puppy, but the entire family, every step of the way.
What Makes TOLO Different?
Our personalized Puppyhood Training Program is built for real families with real lives. It’s designed to support your puppy’s first 12 months of life, from the moment they come home to their first birthday.
How Our Puppy Training Works
We guide you through the first year with:
Every family deserves a great dog, and every puppy deserves a great start.

Story:
Why I Started TOLO
I didn’t start my career raising puppies. I started by helping families fix the problems that showed up when their dogs were already grown.
I worked with fearful dogs, aggressive dogs, anxious dogs. And again and again, I saw the same truth: the behavior issues we were trying to fix all had roots in how those dogs were raised.
That’s when it clicked—puppyhood is the key to everything.
I founded TOLO to be the training program I wish every dog could’ve had before they needed a behavior specialist.
After more than 10,000 hours of training and hundreds of family stories, I’ve developed a method that isn’t just about obedience—it’s about relationship.
As a Puppyhood Trainer, I help families raise great dogs by coaching them to lead, guide, and understand their puppies from day one.
They Only Live Once—and a great dog starts with great puppyhood training. Start your TOLO journey today.
The TOLO Philosophy
We don’t believe in “quick fix” obedience classes.
We believe in raising a well-rounded dog from the ground up.
We don’t offer cookie-cutter sessions.
We coach each family according to their puppy’s unique personality and development.
At TOLO, we believe that with the right plan and the right coaching, any family can raise a calm, confident, joyful dog.
