A life long passion set into reality.
Tino has a special gift of communicating with dogs that has earned him the nickname “The Dog Whisperer of Phoenix”. Some people even call him “Dr. Doolittle” since his way of communicating with his canine students is so effortless that it honestly seems like he is talking “dog” with them.
Born and raised in Germany, Tino’s career began at the tender age of eleven. At this young age, Tino started training his first dog; a female collie, titling her to master level of SchH3. The pair then went on to compete in the Regional Championship. After winning the Schutzhund Regionals in 1994 at 16 years old with his Collie Maxi von der Blankenburg, Tino knew he found his passion!
