I can't say enough about Armando. His love of my animals and kindness to me were among the extras. He sure knows how to train the trainers as well as the dogs. My other dog, who was not being trained also learned by watching. I hired him for my fiesty blind dog to improve walking. I have a healing broken shoulder. He kept his promise both doggies can be walked again. Well worth the price and the friendship.

Armando is the best dog trainer we have ever worked with. He knows and understands your dog's behaviors and has problem solving techniques for any concerns you may have. Our puppy, Sunny responded to him immediately and absolutely loved him. Your pet will know he is the Dog Whisper of Tampa, LOL. We highly recommend him and have done so with our doggy day care and groomer. Ana Sanders

Armando certainly is knowledgeable and knows dogs. I was amazed at the way he handled my dog and how quickly my pet responded to his commands. As he worked, he explained why he was doing things and what he expected to happen. Of course, one has to continue his work as homework to reinforce what has been taught and learned; but now it is a pleasure to walk my dog. Armando also kept in touch with me about upcoming appointments or time changes. He was very responsible. I highly recommend this trainer.

Armando has a great way of working with your dog and, more importantly YOU, to have the best relationship for you both. Armando is very patient and experienced when it comes to correcting undesirable dog behaviors and we really enjoyed our time working with both Armando and Armando Jr. Highly recommend their services!

Armando is incredible with our dogs. My house nicknamed him the dog whisperer. He makes training fun with the kids and the dogs act like angels. I see the improvements in only 2 sessions. He is appropriately priced because your dog will get results (I have one puppy & one 10 year old so I'm proof you can teach old and new dogs tricks). This is them calm and staying in one place without giving but one command even with distractions of other dogs and people around.
