The Art Of K9 Dog Training & Behavior Modification

Let me start by saying, I’ve never boarded or sent any of my dogs for training before , so this was a new experience! I was very nervous but I knew I needed help! We got this beautiful Alaskan malamute rescue, Ozzy. He was younger than we thought. Very playful and actually had some basic training skills. Problem is , he would jump up on you (and he’s pretty big) and he’d bite your arm. He needed more structure than we knew how to teach! I called Angelo , and I am grateful that he listened to me …basically pleading for help lol. Ozzy went for the four week program. I cannot tell you what a huge difference the training has made in ozzys life as well as ours. He walks better on outings, he no longer bites on us , he is just much more behaved. He’s young and tries to get away with things but now we know the cues and what to do. I can’t thank Angelo enough for everything! Ozzy even went back for a week stay, as I had to prepare for my daughters wedding. You can really see the difference in Ozzy from the time he went to Angelo to the time he left!

Bruno spent 4 weeks with Angelo and he did a fantastic job. Bruno was very reactive towards other dogs and people. I use to avoid walking him down busy streets or in areas with other dogs. There was times I could not control him and he would not listen to any commands. It was very frustrating. But after his training I was so impressed and happy with how well he behaved. Going on walks are fun and I enjoy taking him out now! I can even walk him in Home Depot and pet stores. Just knowing how he reacted before, and being able to go in stores is an amazing feeling. Angelo provided me with the tools and knowledge I needed to continue building on the foundation he built with him. If I have any questions or need help, Angelo still helps and you can send him videos if necessary. I will definitely recommend Angelo to anyone that needs help with their dog.

Piper is our second Weimaraner but she was proving to be harder than our previous pup. With a 10 week old puppy and three kids in our home, I knew we needed professional help. We have always included our dogs in whatever we were doing so it was really important that Piper could be no -reactive in public, have good recall off the leash during walks and play, sit patiently, allow strangers to approach her, and be calm around kids. Through training, Angelo helped us create a schedule and environment to help Piper live in our world rather than us living in hers! Strangers always comment on how well behaved Piper is for only an 8-month old puppy! The best part of working with Angelo is that “his” dogs become his for life. I constantly reach out to Angelo with questions, concerns or continued guidance and he always takes time to help my family and me. When we sent Piper to board and train, I was nervous she wouldn’t come back as a dog but instead a rigid canine. Nope! Piper is still very much an energetic, fun, adventurous puppy but simply knows they are rules and expectations that she has to abide by. I would totally recommend Angelo for B&T and 1:1 private lessons. I have done both.

Can't say enough good things about Angelo. I rescued my guy a year ago, and he had serious leash pulling issues. He'd bark at other dogs and go nuts in stores. After boarding him for 4 weeks with Angelo, he came back a better version of himself. He walks right by my side now and is perfect when we go out. This was my first ever dog so it meant a lot to have a pro like Angelo guiding me along. We're both happy guys now!
