Introduction
I truly want to help the dog and their families. I charge a flat fee and stay as long as necessary to help the situation. I love dogs and I love training them and their families. I love dogs. I always have. Before I go into people's homes I pray that I can reach the dog and help him become a wonderful member of the family. I 've gone into homes where the family was ready to give up the dog and my training methods have salvaged the relationship.

Sal was absolutely amazing with my stubborn Mini Bernedoodle. I was very impressed how well behaved she was. He showed us and taught us many things with her. I really can't thank him enough for all his help. I highly recommend Sal to anyone looking for dog training.

Sal is a pleasure to work with. My dog Charlie absolutely loves him. After 2 trainings my dog learned so many tricks and he’s given a a lot of important tips and information on being a new dog parent. I highly recommend Sal to anyone looking to better the relationship with their dog!

Sal’s positive reinforcement training techniques were fantastic! As first-time dog owners, his patience and clear explanations really put us at ease. We learned so much and feel confident moving forward. We highly recommend Sal!”

I can’t recommend Sal enough! My boyfriend and I were struggling with our three year old dog’s behavior and didn’t know what to do next. We were distraught over possibly having to rehome our dog. Sal was truly an answer to our prayers. Sal showed us a bunch of techniques to help break our dog’s bad habits and keep his attention on us. He was very thorough in making sure we totally understood each skill and spent two hours playing through all the scenarios in which troubles usually arise with our dog. Since Sals visit we have been having much success and have seen major improvement in our dog’s behavior. Not to mention our dog is pretty weary of strangers and he absolutely loved Sal and was extremely calm in his presence. If you are looking for someone to help you train your dog who genuinely cares for animals and wants to help improve both owner and dogs overall happiness don’t hesitate to give Sal a call. My only regret is not calling him sooner!
