Introduction
UPDATE as of December 25, 2020 Sadly, Jorge has passed away due to cancer. We are no longer taking on clients as my dad was THE STAR of this show and business. I know my dad would like me to thank all of his clients for giving him the opportunity to work with their dogs. He truly loved what he did and was a fantastic trainer. I'll leave with this quote from my dad..."I'm like Cesar Milan, just cuter". This account will remain active for a little while so as the people who have recently contacted my dad for hire will see why he hadn't returned their inquiries. ************************** Our philosphy for dog obedience is simple- build a foundation and have fun with your dog! We only use humane and effective methods that have been proven to work. We have trained over a thousand dogs in Florida. We are highly recommended by clients, veterinarians, and others in the industry. We spend the time with you upfront to make sure training with us is a good fit. Due to our ability to understand dogs and drive results, we have built successful boarding and day care programs to complement our training, and of course our personal one on one in home training. We utilize a variety of proven training techniques. Not all dogs respond to a single method of training so we don't rely on one method. Our goal is to help you achieve your training goals while making it fun and educational for you. If you and your dog are having a good time learning, the better the results! Our promise to all of our training clients is to work with you until you are satisfied with your dog’s progress and education that last a life time. Our techniques incorporate all facets of learning theory, the most important being operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. We teach using motivational and reward based method,LOVE. We feel that dogs, like humans, learn through consequence- whether it be positive or negative, but that if you spend the time teaching and rewarding positive behaviors, negative consequences can be greatly reduced or eliminated. Most importantly, we believe if you teach dogs desired behaviors, dogs will respond to verbal cues and correct behaviors on their own! We believe that using motivational techniques, you can build a wonderful relationship with your dog, AGAIN THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. Our personal dogs are our pets, and most of them are rescues or surrenders. We have dealt with the same types of pet struggles, from basic obedience to aggression, that may have affected you. We understand how difficult it can be managing your life and your dog that just wont listen! We genuinely want to help you and your pet because too many times we see what the end results are.. I am versed in all training methods and have developed my skills by working with thousands of dogs, since my young age.

Jorge responded right away to my inquiry for getting training for my 5 month old German Shepherd. My pup came with some baggage being moved around to two different homes before I finally got him. He has issues walking on a leash, guarding his crate and water bowl and trying to run out of the door when it’s opened. Already with Jorge’s advice, training and guidance I see a huge improvement in my pups behavior. He’s already walking so much better on a leash and listening to commands the first time not the 10th time. He’s getting better at not feeling like he has to guard “his” stuff. My pup sits at the threshold of the door and waits for permission to be invited outside. All this after one lesson. Jorge will stay on top of you to make sure you get the most out of the training to include homework. Also his rates are more then fair. If you truly want to have a better dog I suggest hiring Jorge!

Details: 0 - 6 months old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Private lessons • General obedience training • Leash pulling • Chewing • My home, venue, etc.

If you are looking for a dog trainer , look no more! Jorge by far exceeded my expectations! After the first session I compared him to Caesar! I have a Pug that is absolutely nuts ,and won't listen to anyone! We also have a boston terrier that follows my pugs lead ,and the combination is pure craziness! After 10 minutes he had my pug not jumping on the sofa without being invited ,and after another 10 minutes he had him sitting 8 feet behind the door when someone rang the doorbell. This is something I never imagined would be possible! No treats, no shock collars, no air cans! Just back to basics of us being the pack leader. Today was our second session ,and our dogs have come even further! Completely different dogs! I'll update this review at the end of our 6 weeks! So far better than expected!

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Private lessons • General obedience training • Leash pulling • House training • Biting • My home, venue, etc.

Extremely knowledgeable, it’s like having Caesar Milan training your dog. My Dane is like night and day after the first visit.
