Argos Dog Training

Martin is without a doubt the best trainer you will find. He is patient, incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, wonderful with clients and a champion for all dogs. He teaches dog owners how to understand where their dogs are coming from and how to communicate better with them. He never talks down to clients and always tries to give the advice that fits within their life. Our dog is a rescue from Puerto Rico who has a lot of the fears and anxieties that street dogs can have. When we came to Martin, our dog was pulling on the leash, barking at children, jumping on people and was always so scared and insecure. Martin has helped us bring the absolute best out of our dog who is now so much calmer and more confident, more disciplined and also so much better able to interact with other people. Martin teaches everything from the basics of leash walking, through calming techniques and up to off leash training. He is such a pleasure to work with and you will be amazed at your dog's transformation. I feel so lucky that our family found Argos and that we have Martin on our side in making our shaggy mutt a happier, more balanced and obedient dog. You absolutely will not find a better place than Argos.

We just completed six private lessons with Argos training, working on improving behavior in our 5 year old Decker Terrier. Over the last couple months, since starting working with Martin, we have noticed marked improvement in our dog at home, around our children, and in our ability to communicate with him effectively. Overall, this has been a great experience. Martin is understanding and has a positive attitude. I appreciated how he could see the best in our dog and has helped us to bring that out. There’s some human-training too, which is helpful and necessary! His team is professional and very responsive. He’s busy, but it was totally worth the wait to get a spot with him. We still have work to do, and plan to continue working with Argos in group training moving forward. Worth mentioning our dog loved Martin and his time in our sessions too! Highly recommend.

Delta and I have completed Puppy Kindergarten and Puppy Kindergarten 2. We cannot be happier with the results we got. I have a dog that transformed from a puppy velociraptor to a well-adjusted adolescent dog. Classes like these are not just about dog training, they are also about OWNER training. I walked away with plenty of tips and tricks that I used to re-enforce our lessons from Argos Dog Training at home. Training never ends. Everyone from veterinarians to groomers to randos have complimented my dog's demeanor, and it's all thanks to the lessons we both learned at Argos. Make sure you do your homework. And ask questions. Training never ends. Thanks Martin!!

We had such a great experience with Martin at Argos Dog Training! We started when our pup, Hollie, was just about nine months old. She'd been struggling with some anxiety and pulled so badly on her leash that I actually got a stress fracture in my foot from walking her! I knew we needed help, especially as Hollie grew bigger and stronger, and I'm so glad we found Argos. After six sessions with Martin, her confidence has increased tremendously, and her anxiety is significantly less in almost all situations. I was looking for a positive reinforcement trainer, and Martin's methods are balanced and realistic. Hollie would get so excited to get in the car to go play with her new friend! She took to all of the instruction really well - walking her now is a LOT of fun. Most importantly, Martin worked to train *me*! I'll admit I didn't catch on as quickly as Hollie did, but I'm working on it, and she's very patient with me. ;) I feel like I have the tools and understanding now to continue working with Hollie in my own, in a variety of situations, and that's ultimately what I was hoping to come away with. We'd recommend Argos Dog Training over and over. Can't wait to join a group class in the future!
