"i've never met a dog that didn't have something to teach me."

From a young age, I have always had a special connection with animals. From dogs to horses to birds, I have a sixth sense when it comes to reading their energy and body language, and have learned how to effectively communicate and work with them in harmony. With over 40 years of training law enforcement k-9s, therapy dogs, show dogs and family dogs, I’ve worked with the tiniest of breeds to the largest. The reality is, no matter large or small, ALL dogs are better family members when they are well-trained.

their instincts lead them to look for and follow the leader of the pack. Utilizing “Correction & Praise” training, I teach you to establish yourself as the “Alpha, the leader of the pack” in your relationship with your dog, teaching them to look to you for guidance and direction. Without proper leadership, an untrained dog will choose its own direction, leading to unfavorable behavior problems and creating chaos in your home.

a dog who is well behaved in the home and out. But just like any other family relationship, fostering a good relationship with your dog requires time, commitment and consistency. By taking the time to provide proper obedience training, you will ensure that your dog is a welcome and beloved member of your family, instead of a nuisance and "problem child" of your home.

dogs are pack animals by nature... 

Everyone wants a dog
who is a happy part of the family...

the correction & praise dog training method

The Correction & Praise training method is rooted in the instinctual nature of dogs as PACK ANIMALS.

Dog’s instincts drive them to seek out the Leader of the Pack, the Alpha in their home whom they can look to and rely on for direction and protection. This is the only method that teaches you how to step up to the role of Pack Leader in your relationship with your dog, communicating with them on their level as you teach them to look to you for leadership, guidance and direction.

The reality is, your dog isn’t a person and does not understand our language, dogs read the language of energy, action and consistency. When you step up to embody the role of your dog’s Pack Leader, he will naturally look to you for direction and approval. And as the Pack Leader, you gain the ability to correct troubling behaviors, as well as the capacity to praise your dog for a job well done.

All dogs desire the approval and praise of their Pack Leader, this is the positive reinforcement that will keep your dog’s behavior in line more reliably and consistently than treats or food ever could.

Tom really knows his stuff! Both my pups as well as my nephews pups took his beginners course and they have all done so well. I highly recommend Companions R Us Dog Training. One of my pups was dog aggressive on leash, but after completing this group training class with Tom Fisher, we can now take her anywhere without her going insane when she sees other dogs. We are so happy with the results!

Tom has trained our dogs, my family’s dogs, and our friends dogs. The lessons have always been professional and effective. In my opinion, Tom is a wonderful dog trainer and is Chino’s “Dog Whisperer.” I have never seen him be anything but kind and understanding to all his clients and their dogs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my dogs training needs.

- John G.

He trained all three of my dogs before they passed. They became the best trained dogs I ever had! He is the best around to this day with any breed! Truly a dog whisperer!

Tom is the best. We just finished the beginners class with him. We have had nothing but success and in a short amount of time. I highly recommend Tom. He has a great understanding of dog’s behavior. He is a great, knowledgeable trainer and makes it fun in class. He has taught us a lot. It also worth noting that we drive all the way from Orange County to train with Tom. There are plenty of trainers that are closer but we wouldn’t think of training with anyone else. 

- Margaret R.

Not only is he the best trainer around giving you every opportunity to have the best dog ever. But this man helped me out when my dogs were in need and I couldn’t be there. I will ever be indebted to him for his kindness.

Tom Fisher, whose business is Companions R Us, is the consummate dog trainer. Working with a particularly difficult and unsocialized dog, he has that dog heeling and paying attention to him in less than 5 minutes. I've seen him do this countless times. He says training a dog is no problem; it's training the owner that is difficult because we tend to be inconsistent. Tom is an outstanding, back to basics trainer as well as a caring individual. I recommend him highly.
