Semper Amici Canine Training

I could not recommend the trainers at Semper Amici more! They are amazing. My dog Ruger stopped listening to me and I was at a loss, Jose and Paul turned him around and he is so well trained. They love dogs and you can tell they enjoy their work. They not only train the dogs but also train the owners too. I knew I would have to learn certain ways to interact with Rugers training., and The trainers made it super understandable and broke everything down for me as well. Totally worth the investment for your dog and your well being!

Jose could not be more in-tuned with how to train dogs and how to motivate them to change their behaviors. I'll be honest it was a tough decision to put this much money forward on our dog, however after talking with Michelle and meeting Jose there was no doubt in our minds that he was 'our guy'. In the time we had our dog at Semper Amici Training through boarding (3 weeks) the differences from when we dropped him off and now after a few months is a complete change. We truly have a dog that is so well rounded, trained and confident now. We were having a lot of social issues/anxiety/accidents throughout the house/snapped several times at people, but now his anxiety has subsided, has total confidence, well behaved on walks and it was so helpful for Jose to teach us how to introduce him to new people and the do's and don'ts. It's some of the best money that we've spent and cannot recommend enough. Half the time I forget Jose's name because what automatically comes to mind is 'dog whisper'. Based on our experience with him I don't think that there's a dog that proves to be challenging for him to train - he's so natural and connects with dogs.

We love Jose and the team at Semper Amici Canine. We dropped off Kobe (an 18 month old Doberman) in July for the 4-week boarding plan. Kobe was very needy, a dog born in my home and living with us through the Covid work from home era, he is a velcro through and through. Jose and the team were very attentive to Kobe, working with him on his separation issues while training him and giving him the confidence he needed for him and I to take our relationship to the next level. I will not have a dog that has not gone through boarding with Semper Amici. Jose did a fantastic job training me also! Part of making this work depends on follow-through from the owner and consistency. I had not had a trained dog before so there were a lot of questions that I had and training that I had to go through to really make this work out for the long term. We loved Semper Amici so much that followed up training in the 8 week class with our other two dogs. This really helped us understand the basics and better communicate with our dogs to troubleshoot any problems and enhance our relationships. 10/10 would recommend Semper Amici.

Im so grateful to have found and cross paths with Jose . He’s so passionate and patient with what he does. My dog is def in good hands and learned so much. I was terrified of walking my huge dog alone and thinking of what could happen. He has learned to stay in a place position and will not move. I learned so much as a dog owner and fixed many mistakes that I don’t even realize I was doing. Thank you for all that you do . Your work is greatly appreciated.

This is the best decision I have yet to make for me and my dog. I decided to get a large breed and knew immediately that he needed training. There's so much value in the training received at semper Amici. Jose made sure to explain everything thoroughly and even taught me a few things. My dog is now very well behaved and is able to be out in public without having to worry about his behavior. I def recommend this place !!
