Testimonials
Yolanda is THE BEST! I have done in home training and am now working on our second round of group training with my stubborn but adorable French bulldog puppy. She is patient, kind and sooo good with dogs. I have seen such a difference in my puppy’s training since we’ve been working with her. He loves her and gets so excited for our weekly training classes. The group classes are convenient, effective and fun for both me and my pup! Would 10 out of 10 recommend Yolanda and Evolutionary Dog Training.

Yolanda is THE in home dog trainer!! My puppies have already had 2 sessions and I can already see a small improvement! Yolanda has such a nice, calm personality and I can see how much they actually love & pay attention to Yolanda when she is training them. If you are looking for someone to train your dog, look no further and call Yolanda. You will not be disappointed and your dogs will thank you.

We’ve worked with many trainers, but she taught my dog tricks in just 5 minutes that others couldn’t teach in 5 weeks! She is absolutely the best—so knowledgeable. I recommend her to all my friends and family! If you’re considering a trainer for your pup, Yolanda is a must!
