The people behind The Refined Wolf — a dog training and pet care team serving Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Hampton, and Newport News.
Lead Trainer
Hi! I’m Thomi
Thomi is the lead trainer at The Refined Wolf, working with dogs and their people across the Hampton Roads area.
Training at The Refined Wolf starts with the people as much as the pets. Sessions are built around building a relationship, understanding what the dog is communicating, and working through the behaviors that are getting in the way of everyday life together.
Alongside training, the team provides cooperative care, pet sitting, farm sitting, and dog walking for clients throughout Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Hampton, and Newport News.
