About Thomas & Emily

We’re a team of pet care professionals who have dedicated our lives to helping dogs—especially the reactive, fearful & aggressive dogs.

Thomas Carrol
As the owner of Blaine Kennels & Dog Squad Training, I’ve overseen over 100,000 boarding nights in the past decade—real, hands-on experience with dogs of every temperament.

I’ve trained multiple times at Cesar Millan’s Dog Psychology Center in California and worked 1-on-1 with three of Cesar’s top trainers. These experiences, combined with the design of our facility—developed in consultation with Cesar’s head trainer—ensure we provide an ideal environment for behavior transformation and learning.
