here is a certain stereotype of interior designers, that they are too expensive and that only the rich and famous contract them.
Enter Tom Foster, owner of TWFDesigns. Tom has had nearly a generation of experience in the design industry and created TWFDesigns more than 8 years ago. With all of his experience, he has developed a mantra of enhancing YOUR taste and style instead of giving you his. Tom has fine-tuned the art of working with what you have and redesigning it to better utilize your living space, in addition to offering you his designer discount to help you stay within budget while adding to your current home interior.
Tom's goal in working with you is twofold. He wants you to feel as if you do indeed deserve to have the professional help, as you are just as important as the elite clientele and he will do what it takes to make you feel that way. His other goal is staying within your budget. Whether you simply want a redesign of what you currently own or an extravagant remodel, he understands the financial pressures and utilizes many local contractors to ensure you get the most out of the money.
In addition to working closely with his clients, Tom can be found donating his time and work to many local nonprofits. Giving back to the community is a component that is equally as important as his services to you in his business ethic. Surely, this is bound to break those Interior Designer stereotypes and leave a lasting impression and smile.

hole Dog Sports Center is a 6,000-square foot indoor dog sports facility dedicated to providing a venue and instruction, or a unique, health-enhancing experience, for dogs and their owners.
The center offers numerous services including dog agility, puppy classes, AKC Canine Good Citizen class, behavior clinics, K9 Nose Work training (scent training), trick dog training, canine chiropractic and acupuncture therapy and rentals for social events. Clients come from Carlsbad, all of the surrounding North County cities and beyond.
"Dog owners can often find it challenging to live with a dog that has abundant energy, particularly when an outlet for mental and physical activity is lacking," said Lyssa Noble Dennis, Whole Dog Sports Center founder and owner. "We provide an environment where dogs can express their physical and intellectual abilities, which fosters a more peaceful and meaningful relationship between dogs and their owners."
Noble Dennis earned her bachelor's degree in clinical psychology from San Francisco State University with special emphasis in behavioral research. At the San Francisco SPCA, she spent two years evaluating shelter dogs and responding to calls from owners contacting the National Animal Behavior Hotline. Working alongside some of the world's leading psychiatrists and anthropologists, she worked for three years as an animal behaviorist at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute researching primate behavior.
Using positive reinforcement training techniques, Noble Dennis has successfully trained more than 12,000 dogs and their owners. She lives in Carlsbad with her two children, two dogs and one horse.
