What People are saying

“Cannot recommend Terrence & Radiant Dogs enough!”

“Cannot recommend Terrence & Radiant Dogs enough! Terrance truly understands dog behavior and has taught us as owners and our dog so much. Our 1.5year old high energy mutt has the best time on his weekly structured pack-walks and always comes home happy & fulfilled. Terrence also helped us e-collar train our dog which has helped us with off-leash work, loose leash walking & door bell manners. Terrance has amazing communication and we fully trust him with our pup. If you're looking for a pack walker or dog trainer highly recommend reaching out to Radiant Dogs - we feel lucky to have found them!”

“The Real Dog Whisperer”

“I don’t usually post long captions but this month for Milo is special because it’s his 1 year anniversary growing and adventuring with Terrance @radiantdogs ... Milo has always been a sensitive boy and isn’t always comfortable around new dogs. I had one trainer tell me he needed to enroll in their very expensive aggressive dog program. Another trainer said he was dominant and I had to re assert my dominance by hovering over him, growling and baring my teeth (I’m not joking). A third trainer implied that he was passed his imprinting phase and there wasn’t much I could do but manage the behavior. Luckily, I stumbled across the @radiantdogs Instagram page and contacted Terrance immediately."

“Terrance understands dogs so well, it's just incredible”

“That's when we were referred to Terrance by a coworker. Terrance was able to pinpoint our dog's issue OVER THE PHONE without ever meeting him. Terrance understands dogs so well, it's just incredible. He came over to meet our dog with 2 of his own dogs and, no exaggeration, Terrance had all 3 dogs walking together in under 10 minutes."

"Happy with Services"

"My dog Pennie has been hiking with Terrance for only a few weeks, and so far, I (and she) couldn't be happier.

I found Terrance when Radiant Dogs popped up on my Instagram feed--at first, I wasn't sure whether it would be a good fit for 2 reasons: 1. I didn't have any referrals or recommendations for him--for Pennie's past walkers, I always knew the person from a referral; and 2. Pennie has some behavioral issues, so she can't just walk/hike with anyone--it has to be with someone who can give her space and patience, and who understands dogs."

“More than 5 stars”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I trust Radiant Dogs with my princess pup, they are the best!”

“Never thought she could be an off-leash dog, so thank you!!”

“We just hiked Runyon off-leash for the first time since last weekend's season and Sammie did soo well!! Just like how she was on the trail last weekend I couldn’t believe it. Only gave her a stim once the entire hike. Stayed right by my side or only a foot or two ahead. Never thought she could be an off-leash dog, so thank you!!”
