FirstBarkWe needed professional help when we rescued our Husky/Lab mix “Gigi”, suffering from separation anxiety. Cesar came to our home and worked diligently to help Gigi overcome her fear. She has greatly improved. Cesar is a compassionate and skilled dog trainer.

Cesar is a great trainer! Knowledgeable. Positive. Patient. Caring. He wants what's best for you and your dog. My dog and I did a group training with him and also a personal session in our home for a problem behavior. I highly recommend Cesar!
I worked with Cesar for at least half a dozen sessions on my dog's reactivity towards other dogs. We worked in various places and with a number of other dogs. I found Cesar skilled, compassionate, fun to work with, and think of him as a great addition to our dog-loving community. I have much less anxiety around loose dogs I encounter with both management and rewiring skills!
Cesar is the best! He was such a huge help with our puppy. After about a week with my very headstrong, bitey 10-week old puppy, I was in over my head and thought I had made a big mistake adopting a dog. I knew I needed help.

Cesar is the best! He was such a huge help with our puppy. After about a week with my very headstrong, bitey 10-week old puppy, I was in over my head and thought I had made a big mistake adopting a dog. I knew I needed help. Cesar not only helped me understand my puppy’s behavior, but he is also such a calming presence. My dog adored him, and he gave me confidence that I could get through the puppy stage! He gave me exercises to work on in between our sessions and tailored our work based on my dog’s specific behavior. My dog is such a good boy now, and we have a wonderful bond thanks to Cesar’s help!
I call him the dog whisperer. He has done amazing work with my one year old Labradoodle. He taught me a lot.
