SoCal Dog training -– Dog Trainer in Orange County”

Vladae is the BEST!! He is like family to us and on behalf of my husband and I, we would like to express our sympathy to you and your Ukrainian wife knowing what kind of stress their family is going through in Europe. You and your family are in our prayers. Vladae came highly recommended to us from a friend of mine who has the most well behaved dog! I said “I want a dog like that!” And here we are after just 3 classes we have a well behaved dog who went from pulling me on leash to now walking by my side with no leash. AMAZING!! Vladae treats his clients like family. He has a straight forward no nonsense approach to training. In just one class we learned far more than we would have at other places. As I’ve personally seen from working with him to train our Australian Shepherd, he has a big heart and love for dogs. He truly cares about each clients’ success. It’s very critical that you do your homework in between training sessions if you want to succeed in the program. Part of this includes reporting to Vladae with texts and videos of your homework so Vladae could respond with corrections. Vladae’s training has been life changing with our Aussie. If I could give you a piece of advice it would be trust the process, trust the trainer, and stick to the process. The end result will be outstanding!! Thank you Vladae for your priceless training. I’m still amazed that our Aussie came to you at 6mo old and now at 8mo he is following all commands and walks off leash by my side. Truly amazing!!

We are so very grateful to have been able to get Vladae to train us train our dog that we adopted from South Korea. He arrived very insecure and wanted to attack everything. Now he walks just behind our left foot, goes to his "place" when told, goes to the malls and outdoor restaurants. We can now take him anywhere. Thank you SoCal Dog Training and the best people trainer for dogs!! Trust the trainer, trust the process, do your homework and live the best life! UPDATE: I need to let you know that Vladae at SoCal Dog Training is the most effective way to train your dogs! If you are lucky enough to have landed on these reviews you only need to know 1 thing: The best results are from the work you put in to the training. You need to pick the trainer that works well with you. Just make the call, Vladae will calm you down so you can train your dog. We went back to Vladae for a maintenance appointment after almost a year. We had some small things to work out and within 5 MINUTES we were back on track! Seriously if you want your dog to look to you, love you even more, walk by you, understand you, be good at the vet, call them.

Vladae did a wonderful job training our Labrador Retriever, Daisy. She was pretty wild before attending his Bootcamp for 2 weeks. Now she is delightful to have in our home. Vladae was always gentle and kind, yet had an amazing way of making her want to please. We just had a follow up class, a few weeks after bootcamp, to reinforce the fundamentals and basically train us 😊. Vladae was delightful to work with.

Vladae is the most professional, knowledgeable expert in dog training. Truly the dog whisperer. Our mouthy, hyper dog has been transformed with his three important steps: 1. Vladae as expert teacher 2. Hard work and homework 3. A dog with a good personality. Vladae answered all of our questions and had our dog walking off leash and following all commands in busy public places like the Irvine Spectrum center. It’s like he says, “You don’t have a bad dog, you just need Vlad!” Thanks you Vlad! Our sweet dog, Remi is truly “driving like a Ferrari” and we love that she can travel and come with us everywhere! ❤️

Being the first time dog owner, we have a lot to learn and have ZERO idea how to train a puppy. Even though we watched tons of dog training video on YouTube, it doesn’t really help when it comes to the real life practical stuff! As our pup, Charlie, an Australian Mountain doodle, grows bigger, we realize we REALLY need to get him trained properly and trained the right way. He was constantly pulling on leash when we walk him, he would bark at dogs ACROSS the street, and jumps up on strangers and people. 🤦🏻 We are so glad we found SoCal Dog Training through referral of a good friend, and after reading some glowing reviews, we decided to work with Vladae. He is the founder, owner and award winning celebrity trainer of SoCal Dog Training. We are so glad we made the decision! Vladae is a true professional and cares deeply about his clients and his fur students. Vladae has his unique but effective way of communicating and training dogs, and he is patient in teaching us all the details and answer all our questions. He has a process of interviewing his clients through FaceTime and evaluating the dog behavior to ensure a successful result. We had 4 classes and we went through essential commands of sit, come, down, how to walk with leash and work through walking without leash under tons of distractions in a shopping mall. It was an incredible journey and we witnessed an wonderful transformation of our puppy. The key to success is to truly trust Vladae’s method and teaching, trust the process and most importantly make sure you practice and practice at home between lessons. Practice makes perfect and Vladae will not accept anything less than perfect :) It’s been a very rewarding experience for us working with Vladae and we are so happy with the result with Charlie now being very well trained and well behaved. We can literally take him anywhere with us without problems whatsoever. If you are on the fence about working with Vladae, I would definitely recommend him. Go for it, you will not regret it! And you will get to enjoy your dog’s companionship for a very long time.
