We are having a great experience with Javi. He is clear with his instructions, and very easy to work with. Milo has learned impulse control, loose leash walking, and how to focus on us during walks. Milo is responding really well and is doing great. Highly recommend!

We are so grateful to Avi for the incredible work he did with our rescue dog, Simba. When we first brought Simba home, he had a lot of anxiety and extra energy he could not control, which is common with rescue pups.

We are so grateful to Avi for the incredible work he did with our rescue dog, Simba. When we first brought Simba home, he had a lot of anxiety and extra energy he could not control, which is common with rescue pups. Avi approached him with patience, compassion, and a deep understanding of canine behavior that immediately put us at ease. What truly set Avi apart was how he involved our son, Alexander, in the training sessions. Teaching a child how to properly communicate with and guide a dog is no small task, but Avi made it engaging, educational, and fun. Watching Alexander gain confidence while building a bond with Simba was priceless. Another thing we deeply appreciated was Avi’s professionalism and follow-through. After each session, he sent a detailed breakdown of what we worked on, what Simba learned, and how we could continue reinforcing those skills at home. This made it easy for our whole family to stay consistent and confident between sessions. Thanks to Avi’s guidance, Simba is more secure, responsive, and truly part of our family. We now have the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing positive behaviors at home. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about both dogs and families, we highly recommend Avi. — The Cruz Family 🐾
Avi evaluated our 2 year traumatized rescue dog with quiet compassion and understanding. He gave us excellent advice on how to rehabilitate our little guy with small achievements, structure and love. He gave us specific suggestions which are already helping to build confidence and trust. Thank you Avi for all you do for dogs and for helping us to give our little dog the life he deserves.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Avi! He has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Macie.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Avi! He has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Macie. What truly sets him apart is that he doesn’t just train your dog- he more than training her- is training us! He is teaching us how to properly interact, communicate, and build a stronger relationship with our dog. He gives us the tools, knowledge, and confidence to continue the training after he leaves, which makes such a huge difference. Avi is always prompt, professional, and passionate about what he does. He explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and makes sure you feel comfortable practicing the techniques yourself. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the dogs and their humans. He gives us homework so we can continue to work with her since he unfortunately can not be at our house at all times- but he comes once a week, and always makes himself available by text if we have any questions in the meantime. And the best of all? Macie absolutely adores him. She gets so excited when he arrives, and gets sad when he leaves! He’s definitely on the list as one of her top favorite humans 😂 If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, patient, reliable, and truly invested in your success, Avi is the one. We are so grateful for everything he’s done for us and for Macie. Thanks Avi!!!

We’ve been working with Avi for our golden retriever, Rio, and I truly cannot recommend him enough. Before we started, walks felt more like Rio was walking us. He would pull, test boundaries, and it was clear he thought he was in charge. Avi came in with calm confidence and immediately shifted the entire dynamic — not just with Rio, but with us as owners. What I appreciate most is that Avi doesn’t just “train the dog.” He trains you. He comes once a week and works directly with both me and my daughter, showing us exactly what to do, then having us practice it ourselves while he gives real-time verbal coaching. He explains the why behind everything, which makes such a difference. It’s structured, clear, and incredibly empowering. After each training session, Avi sends a detailed text recap outlining what we worked on, how Rio responded, and specific homework for us to continue practicing. That follow-through and accountability has made a huge difference in keeping us consistent between sessions. We’re already seeing such a positive change in Rio. He’s more attentive, more responsive, and our walks feel calmer and more controlled. It’s not magic — it’s consistency and proper leadership — and Avi teaches that in a way that feels doable and sustainable. If you’re struggling with pulling, leash manners, or feeling like your dog is running the show, call Avi. He’s professional, patient, and truly understands how to create lasting behavioral change. We’re not even finished yet, and the difference is undeniable. So grateful we found him.
