I’m forever grateful for the staff at DPT. They have been so patient with me and my newly rescued pup Tony. Highly recommend Dan camp and training lessons.

When I see other dog owners being pulled on the leash by their dog and other aggressive behaviors, I think how lucky I was to have found Dan Perata’s excellent dog training! I can’t express how worth every penny spent it is to have a well trained dog! Every future puppy we get will be trained by Dan Perata!

We brought our reactive adult rescue dog to Dan and his team several years ago and have never stopped being grateful for the amazing transformation. We learned so much there and absolutely recommend them if you’re struggling to manage reactivity and aggression in an adult rescue. It felt insurmountable at the time, but our dog has improved so much, it took time and often felt slow, but it is so worth it in the long run

Dan Perata Training is just simply outstanding. Our pooch went for the entire boot camp and even now, after many years, it is clear that our pooch learned and retained that which was taught by this wonderful company. These folks are simply "the best".

We had a great experience with Dan Perata and the entire team (Natasha, Sydney, and all the trainers) at DPT. We enrolled our golden retriever puppy in Dan Camp soon after she came home to us and DPT provided her with an outstanding training foundation. The requirement to attend classes twice weekly with your dog can feel tough with a working schedule but it is worth it; seeing the progress our dog was making every week was so encouraging. She was house-trained 2 days after we brought her home from her first week at DPT. We learned so much from Dan and his team about effective dog training and we get compliments all the time about how well-trained our dog is. Our sweet pup is now 1 year old and she is the BEST dog - she is obedient, respectful, gentle, playful, and sweet. She is never reactive around other dogs or people. She walks without pulling and never begs for food. We owe a lot to Dan and his team!
