“Valhalla Dog Training has given us the confidence and pride in Quincy that we never thought we’d see. Because of Tori’s hard work and guidance, we’ve seen unimaginable progress in Quincy that challenges us to keep working to make his life easier. We’ve learned to embrace our flaws as dog parents and focus on working together to build the best relationship with Quincy that we can. Every day is a new challenge and because of VDT, we know we have the tools and knowledge to take them by the reigns. We’re so proud of how far Quincy has come and we’re so grateful that we chose to train with the VDT team!”

“10/10! She came to us in Jersey to help us work on some behavior issues with our big boy Franco. She is so knowledgeable and made us feel so comfortable in the training process. She really helped us understand Franco. When we first began training I was 9 months pregnant. We prepared as much as we could for the arrival and introduction of our little girl and Franco. We got home late on a Saturday night with our newborn - tried everything we practiced but Franco was just so curious,confused and hyped up. With our stress running high I didn’t know what to do. I reached out to Tori and she got back to me immediately- even Video chatted with me. She talked our nerves down and helped us relax. We immediately booked a session for her to come out and help us with the introduction. Ever since that session things have been amazing. We honestly cannot thank Tori and Dewey enough and appreciate everything they have done for our family ! You both rock.”

“First and foremost, Tori is an awesome trainer. She is completely dedicated to her work and it shines through in every training session. The thing I love most about Tori is she doesn’t just explain how to improve the relationship with your dog, but she also explains why these methods work and make sense. I came to Valhalla with one specific issue, but Tori worked with me to not just fix that one issue, but learn how to better communicate with Luna overall which has allowed Luna and I to do things I never dreamed we would be able to. Luna can now live a better, more confident life and we can’t thank Valhalla dog training enough!”

“Where do I even start? You have made our relationship with Chance so much better and I’m so grateful. You have made it possible for us to communicate better with him to understand the world better. You have increased my own personal confidence and helped my anxiety. I look forward to every training session we have and love practicing at home. Your knowledge and overall love of dogs is inspiring, respected, and has made our lives better. I’m excited to keep working and show Chance how wonderful the world (and other dogs) are. Thank you!!”

“I cannot begin to describe how much balance training has helped our dog and ourselves. We were nervous to start training and using new tools because we had little knowledge about them but wow. Learning how to properly use tools and utilize balance training effectively has taught our dog to be more confident, listen to us, and help to keep her safe in new environments and situations. Our dog was deemed aggressive when we adopted her and with Tori’s help we’ve been able to correctly and safely introduce her to new dog friends and learn how to play. She was an absolute nightmare on a leash before and now she never pulls. Balance training has really strengthened our relationship with our dog and helped build her confidence. I cannot recommend Valhalla enough!”

“We definitely got lucky when we adopted Athena. She has shown to be a very smart and sweet pup, and we love her more than anything. Of course, there have been certain things here and there that the Valhalla team has been invaluable in helping us handle. Notably, these include walking past other dogs on a leash and meeting new people, and I am so happy to say that she is doing incredibly well with both of these tasks. I also want to express that never has balance training been more crucial in my eyes than now, because I have recently broken one of my arms. With the tools and training that Valhalla has given us, I can trust Athena and do all the normal things with her that I was doing before. I know that I would not be able to do something as simple as taking her on a walk through downtown Philly if it wasn’t for my trust in being able to communicate effectively with Athena. So, thank you so much Valhalla team for continuing to work with us—you have been integral in making our lives more stress-free, regardless of any injuries or other challenges that come our way!”

“My journey with Valhalla Dog Training started back in February 2020. I was having some concerns about my girl and came across a post from Philly Bully Team where I saw Tori was tagged. I emailed her about wanting to do a consultation - the best decision I’ve ever made! Because of everything my girl and I have learned through our course of training with VDT, she can do things like go swimming at the lake and do fun off-leash activities. From basic commands to recall training, VDT offers different programs to fit your dog’s needs. It’s been so wonderful and Lucy has come so far, I couldn’t have done it without Tori and VDT. If you’re looking for help with commands or behavior modification - do yourself a favor and look no further than VDT.

“Working with Tori has changed Stevie’s whole life! We have a much better understanding of how to communicate effectively with her, and it’s been amazing watching her go from a terrified pup that wouldn’t leave her crate to such a happy dog who’s getting more confident every day. Tori really understands our dog and knows exactly what steps we need to take to make sure Stevie succeeds. Thank you for making our dog’s (and our) lives better!”

When we adopted Emma a year ago, she was almost 9 months old and had never been on a leash. She immediately had reactivity on walks when we passed both dogs and people. We found a pure positive trainer and completed puppy foundations and advanced group training which helped her obedience inside the home, but never addressed her reactivity. After research into balanced training and recommendations from our friends, who were also experiencing the same thing, we found Tori! Tori has experience in training these behaviors and knows how to create clear communication between you and your dog. She creates a clear program using balanced training tools and caters each session specifically to your needs. The program is also great because you can use them for private sessions or group classes. We've seen AMAZING improvement on our walks around our dog-friendly building and have been complemented by other people on how well she walks and how much she's improved. We can pass dogs in close range with no to minimal reaction and pass people, bikes, and runners with no reaction. The Valhalla community is very supportive and understanding because we're all working towards the same goal - a happier life for themselves and their dogs.
