Testimonials
With the basic obedience training I have control of my dog Luna which makes life much easier. Thanks Leo.
– Xochyl & Luna
A mi perro Kobe le encanta salir a entrenar con Leo le agradesco que biene a mi casa a sacarlo.
– Nalleli & KOBE
We left our German Shepherd Louie with Leo for training and the results were beyond my expectations. Louie returned as the best dog I’ve ever owned. He’s now incredibly sociable with both people and other dogs… I can confidently let him roam free, knowing he’ll return to my side with just one command.
