Jose has taught my husband and I so many great tools and techniques in just a short amount of time. We are already seeing big improvements with our 3 doodles, and are excited to continue building on the skills he is showing us. He has a big passion for what he does, and it shows through his patience and care he takes when handling our dogs. I am so glad we found him and took the leap towards being better pet parents for our doodles. ☺️ You won’t regret making the leap too!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend him enough! My dog completed his one-month training program, and the difference has been amazing. He’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. What really says a lot is that even after the training was over, I’ve trusted him to board my dog two separate times. Every time, I’ve felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Finding someone you trust to not only train your dog but also take care of them while you’re away is huge, and he has definitely earned that trust with me. The training, communication, and overall care have all been top-notch. My dog is always excited to see him, which tells me everything I need to know. If you’re looking for someone for dog training or boarding, I highly recommend him. You’re not just dropping your dog off with someone—you’re leaving them with somebody who truly knows dogs and treats them like his own. Definitely 5 stars and someone I’ll continue using!

We couldn't be happier with the training Jose has provided for our puppy, Daisy! After just two sessions, he's already taught us so much—not just Daisy, but us as owners too. He showed us the proper way to walk her on a leash and taught her several basic commands, and we've already seen a big difference. Jose is patient, knowledgeable, and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand. We're definitely continuing with more training sessions and would highly recommend him to any dog owner looking for a great trainer. Thank you, Jose—we're excited to keep learning with you!

Simply the best experience ever. Since the first message to the in person meet and greet. Jose is very professional at what he does. Kept us informed thru our the whole process. He is and will be our only dog trainer.

My little yorkie was super aggressive, would bite and growl and didn’t like to be held. He helped transform him and now he likes being held and will let you touch him and cuddle him. Great services couldn’t recommend enoughhh!!!!
