Exclusive Dog Training

Amazing service. Carlos is an excellent trainer and has helped our dog and us immensely with obedience and housebreaking training. We have a seven month old Siberian husky with an insane amount of energy and Carlos was able to help us figure our how to hone that energy when our puppy was inside. My wife and I would 100% recommend the services of Exclusive Dog training to anyone, especially those with a high drive energetic pup.

We hired Carlos when our Australian Cobberdog seemed to be unlearning his puppy training at one year. Acting like a teenager, he seemed to be forgetting what he'd been taught, kinda being full of himself, testing limits. Given his complete possession of our hearts and an overload of the cuteness factor, we had no idea how to get him in line. A friend gave him high marks for his in-home training of her pit-bull, so we decided to go for weekly sessions at our home. Carlos helped us not only to get back on track but move forward with giant steps. We started training late October '20 beginning with a first meeting about philosophy and expectations, training dynamics and learning behaviors. Training weekly (with a couple breaks for holidays and quarantines) over 4 months, our Remy is getting proficient at heel (which serves us very well on our walks that necessitate going alongside a very busy road to get to an open area), can be set free to run and comes when called off-leash and walks on a loose leash without pulling. He complies with "Down" and we are working on increasing the duration of that command and have begun to successfully use it at the door to prevent overly excited welcomes and/or a bolt to outside. We are continuing training and mastery of the above behaviors. Most importantly, Carlos is not just training the dog, he's teaching us! He possesses a wealth of information and a true understanding of dog behavior and psychology. He explains why dogs react the way they do, how they perceive what we are actually telling them instead of what we think we are saying. He points out and redirects when we send mixed messages and why we get behavior that is different than we expected. It's so easy to trust Carlos because he explains everything from the human and the dog's perspective. When he explains his at home training with different dogs or when we watch his videos you can see he is unflappable! He makes it look easy. And when it all clicks together for us, it feels easy, even though it took work and practice to get there. It gives us such peace of mind to have a well behaved dog - takes the worry and embarrassment out of situations and makes for much more enjoyment of their company. So many times with our previous dog, I felt too much frustration as he he tested my last nerve. Thanks to Carlos, we are enjoying our pup without the wild ride. We are happy to continue training with Carlos and offer our highest recommendations!

My husband Jeff and I have nothing but good things to say about Carlos and Exclusive Dog Training! From the very first day, Carlos was quick to respond to our inquiry regarding training for our Goldendoodle puppy. That next week, we had our first session with Carlos and have consistently had training with him on a weekly basis. Carlos is extremely knowledgeable regarding canine training and is thorough in explaining the evidence-based research behind his training techniques. My husband and I are so grateful for Carlos and the fact that in each session, he not only takes the time to make sure we understand the research and psychology, but also every step of the training process. Because of this, each week, we are able to continue training our puppy at home and feel confident between sessions that we are doing our due diligence for our girl Winnie. On top of that, Carlos responds to any questions that we have mid week while we are training on our own. We truly cannot say enough about Carlos and his amazing training! We are still training, however because of what he has taught us, we have seen a huge difference in our dog and cannot wait to see what else we are able to accomplish with the help of Carlos! THANK YOU CARLOS! :)
