Paws Down Best Dog Training

Hector is an incredibly gifted dog trainer, and I recommend his services wholeheartedly. He goes above and beyond to understand your dog's unique needs, personality, and areas for improvement, and is very thoughtful in designing a customized plan *specific* to your pup. The level of transparency and communication that he offers for the board and train portion is far more than I've ever heard of a similar service doing, and I really appreciated the regular photos, videos, and calls to update me on dog's progress. The improvements in her confidence and public behavior have been tremendous, and Hector himself is fun and easy to work with. Thank you Hector!

We are incredibly grateful for everything Hector and his team did for Kai, formerly known as Felix. When we first saw Kai, he had just had his leg amputated and was learning to navigate as a tripod dog. Hector’s communication and check-ins have been wonderful. He visited our home to ensure that our family and dogs would be a good fit for Kai, providing invaluable advice along the way. Thanks to Hector, Kai has adjusted remarkably well. He is well-behaved, sweet, kind, and great with everyone around him. We are overwhelmed with joy to have Kai as a member of our family and deeply appreciate all that Hector did to help create such an amazing dog.

Ruach (Hebrew for Spirit) and I are currently working with Hector to get my Belgian Malinois trained. He came highly recommended from people at Ft. Bliss who have used his services. I called and Hector came over to the house meet us and evaluate our newly aquired puppy. Ruach’s previous trainer didn’t listen to my needs and began a very bad training program. Hector has been diligent in working thru the bad behavior and bringing out the good in Ruach. For an active puppy he is well tempered with us. Have some problems with him ‘nipping’ at people but he is improving every day. He still has way to go to be used as confident service dog but he is well on his way! Can’t give Hector enough kudos! All well deserved!

My rescued Pyr was nervous around dogs she hadn't met and didn't trust most humans. After 12 days with Hector she is confident at the dog park and much more accepting of humans. Today, two contractors came inside my house. Usually I put her outside when strangers visit. I had her 'heel' in the den. She let them in the house, sat down and after she saw us interact, she laid down without prompting. Normally she would've been nervous and concerned. But this time she felt confident that everything was fine. A well-trained dog is a happy and confident dog. Thank you Hector and Sergio.
