"If I could I would give 10 stars! I highly recommend Sergio as the trainer for your pet for any behavioral problems. There is no behavior issue he can't tackle and succeed at. He is so knowledgeable and an extremely qualified trainer, he could do magic with any dog regardless of breed, age, or problem. My dog just came home and in one day I can see the difference in behavior, she is a completely different dog and we love it. So if you are looking for good quality training, this is the place to go and make sure you meet Sergio."

"My disabled brother has 2 little toy Australian Shepard dogs who are his everything, his world, but they had absolutely no manners. They were not housebroken, barked at everything, ran out the door and down the street any chance they got BEFORE they met Sergio and his staff. We sent both the dogs to Sergio for the 4 week Board & Train Program. Sergio was able to train them and conquer their bad habits quickly but he went so much more above and beyond than I ever could have imaged. He made trips to our home afterwards to help my brother understand how to continue with the training at home and while the dogs were away at training, Sergio sent videos and pictures regularly to show us the progress and to help comfort and ease my brother's stress of being away from his "babies". We have since kenneled our dogs with Sergio as well and I trust him completely with the care of our "animal babies". It is so rare nowadays to find this level of care, genuine concern and professionalism! THANK YOU SERGIO!! We are forever grateful!!'

"Sergio came to our home and observed the behavior of our dog as he explained the methodology behind the training program. After asking if we had any questions, he put the training into action. We were pleased at how effective and immediate the results were. Sergio's passion as a dog trainer showed in his patience with his clients, both human and dog. We appreciated the immediate follow up after each of our sessions. I would highly recommend Sergio for any behavior modification for your dog."
