The dogfather experience was above and beyond what I thought! He knows what he is doing from their body language to how to calm them and work with them in just one week he managed to make so much progress with my dog he seems unrecognizable at times! Always answering questions and sending video updates on their progress! Overall we had a 10/10 experience with the DogFather!

I had a great experience with Jose (The Dog Father) training my dog, Choco. He was very attentive and patient throughout the sessions. He taught Choco to stop jumping, to sit on command, and corrected several other unwanted behaviors in a way that was firm but gentle. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the consistency he brought to every lesson. Choco is so much better behaved now, and I feel more confident handling him. Highly recommend his training services!
