Alejandro is incredible. His training is tailored to each owner and dog’s needs. He not only addresses bad (and good) behaviors, but provides the why and rationale behind them and the need to make changes that will benefit each pet. I was a hard skeptic of needing dog training for years, and I was wrong. Our dogs made significant progress with his help. Our family is now equipped with lifelong tools leading to success for both dogs and owners. I can’t say enough good things about his work.

Alejandro was recommended by my niece, Darla. He exceeded my expectations, and I understood why my niece had spoken so highly of his training methods. Alejandro was patient and his empathy for our specific situation made me feel immediately at ease. He made himself available even before we had our first session and that gave me peace of mind that he actually felt the kind of compassion that you cannot purchase with any amount of money. I look forward to continuing to work with Alejandro and have already seen the positive changes that his work has done for our family and our dogs.

Our session with Alejandro was truly transformational. Daily walks used to be overwhelming with fear of running into other people and dogs. We would be rushing in and out of the building to avoid all contact. The dogs would take endless stops to mark all over when we were outside. They would also be barking and lunge at everything remotely close to our path. Alejandro analyzed our current routines and helped us make small but significant changes. It feels like we have finally regained control of the dogs after learning that we were the ones enabling their poor behaviors without correction. Walking has become our favorite part of the day. Now rather than HAVING to walk the dogs, we are now enjoying that we GET to walk the dogs and spend time in the outdoors together. Our session was customized to our needs. Alejandro not only explained the rationale behind things to us, but he also took the time to check in with us to make sure that we were feeling good and confident about the recommendations. It was highly worth it!

We just our first session and it was amazing. Alejandro found the root cause of our issue and pointed them out. My dog issue was leash reactivity towards other dogs and with right technique and tools, we were able to manage it instantly. Highly recommend him if you have a reactive dogs that needs solid leadership and guidance. 2 week update: After two weeks of the same training methodology, my pup has become more agitated and anxious because of frequent corrections. Every dog is different, but dog is not good with collar popping every time he breaks his heel. Alejandro also suggested physical correction (similar to Caesar's Milan correction) and my dog is scared of me now during our walks. Sorry, but if you have a scared/anxious dog, please use a different method.
