Tony Orange began working with dogs in 2001, as a pupil of renowned trainers Patricia Lacy and Gail Mihalcoe. Over time, his natural ability and rapport with dogs earned Tony the nickname "The Miracle Worker." In 2003, Animal Planet chose to highlight "The Miracle Worker" for one of their shows.

Tony founded DogWorld abc in 2004, and is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. He worked with Lisa Reid, of Ragged Mountain Dogs, to increase his knowledge of canine behavioral issues and their treatment. Tony is the official Dog Trainer for the SPCA of Northern Virginia, as well as for Ragged Mountain Dogs. He has been a sponsor of GoodDogz.org's Home 4 The Holidays event, and has appeared at dog-related events around the Northern Virginia area. Tony has also been seen several times on WUSA Channel 9's Petline 9 program.

Tony describes his method of canine education as "training with love and discipline," using positive reinforcement with minimal corrections. Tony’s 3-hour course in basic obedience (sit, stay, down, heel, come) involves mandatory participation by a family member during the final hour. This ensures that you will be able to reinforce Tony’s training and that your dog will behave for you as well as for Tony.
