“I have had three to four other dog trainers and none of them worked. Within the first session my dog was responding well and we went on our first NO PULL walk. AMAZING”

“ I had the BEST walk today with my Shepherd mix that I adopted from Humane Society- she was pulling me, lunching and barking and well everything - Tristan worked with her and me & brought proper equipment to reach our goals - He is a great trainer, and I am blessed I found him. Highly recommended”

“Gosh where do I start, I came to know Tristan Gibson by bark.com which has been a blessing. He is probably one of the nicest, kindest, sincere, endearing people I’ve had the joy and pleasure of meeting. I believe my Bubba Ray Barkley, who is a mini golden doodle with most definitely fear aggression and probably a list of other things as well was Tristan‘s or is Tristan‘s Sixth client. For a young man who is starting out he is quite knowledgeable and truly cares about his client and their parent or pet Mom. My little guy came from a situation where the environment and surroundings were deplorable to say the least, and being breed by individuals who have no business owning or breeding anything. I’m a lot. Bubba’s a lot too. Tristan has been nothing but great to us. He’s a selfless individual who truly just cares about people and animals. Patience is something I’ve always lacked. Tristan is a saint with lots of patience. If ever you question or doubt whether or not he would be the right fit I can say with confidence that you’d be wrong. Some people are meant to do what they do, and this is what he was made for! I could go on. Anyone is welcome to reach out and I would be more than willing to share more of our personal story. P.S. His assistant was a gem too! I can’t wait to see where we are at the end of our 6th session from where we are today. Tristan is a rare one! I’m so grateful me and bubba found him.”

“I just got Chance, an 8yr old Retriever mix from the humane society who has reactivity issues. Tristan has come to my house and done an amazing job in just a few short weeks. First, he is very knowledgeable on the subject of reactivity and has taught me so much and how my behavior influences Chance.

Tristan offered an individualized training program for Chance after meeting him and has adjusted the program accordingly. He has a wealth of knowledge on everything dog from training to proper care, health, and behavior issues. Chance continues to make improvements in his behavior and I”

“Tristan was great my dog Wrigley who is somewhat fear reactive. His methods are professional and it has made all the differences walking him in public. No more pulling on me and he is increasingly more comfortable with strangers.”

“We have been working with Tristan for a few weeks and although our pup still has a long way to go he is a completely new dog. Tristan has been wonderful to work with, he is very patient and understanding and truly cares about the success of the training. It was a big worry of mine that our dog would be untrainable but Tristan has proven that all it takes is lots of attention and care and any dog can be trained to be better!”

“Working with Tristan was great! On the first day we already had results with our dog Pancho. Would recommend working with Tristan to anyone!”

Dogs We’ve Trained

  • Arlo-Tristan Gibson Dog Training, Indianapolis Indiana

    Arlo

    Arlo came to be my dog after he chose me at a local shelter. He came with his own challenges that we’ve been able to overcome or start working through. He’s helped me discover my love for teaching such pure animals that dogs are.

  • Ruby- Tristan Gibson Dog Training, Indianapolis IN

    Ruby

    Ruby was surrendered to me by a friend. Arlo and Ruby had met a few times so it was a no brainer that I took her in. She's a Great Dane Mastiff mix and takes to training like a hot knife cutting through butter. She has an incredibly sweet temperament and loves people when she gets used to them. She's more of a sensitive girl who does better with more positive reinforcement.

  • Poncho

    Poncho was my first training client ever. He loved to pull his dad around everywhere. Often requiring his dad to have his leash wrapped up his forearm to be able to keep him with him. By the end of our first session he was walking nicely on the leash and maintaining a heel!

  • Balto

    Balto is a Husky x GSD. He is a bit of a spicy boy when it comes to people and dogs. His mom is an amazing handler who has done great work with him so far. He's enrolled in my Obedience I Private Sessions with add ons for leash reactivity. He's learned a lot and hold high potential of being the best boy ever for his mom.

  • Jagger

    Jagger is just a wild little gal. She's a doodle mix with a lot of energy and willingness to play hard. She's apart of my obedience program.

  • Happy-Tristan Gibson Dog Training

    Happy

    Happy is a very people friendly Golden Retreiver X Chow Chow. His Chow Chow side definitely has a strong drive towards a reactivity to other four legged doggo friends. We’re working on obedience and helping him learn past that reactivity.

  • Chance - Tristan Gibson Dog Training, Indianapolis Dog Training

    Chance

    Chance was adopted by his mom last month out of a Humane Society. He is a reactive pup who absolutely crushes at his obedience. His training program is one of structure and routine while the relationship between he and his mom is built and he gets more comfortable with his new forever person.
