Testimonials
“I highly recommend Florenza, the owner of Rooby-Doo Canine Academy in Fresno. She emphasizes the importance of timing and consistency when training a dog. Our puppy got off to a good start staying three weeks with her before we took over. Teaching us, the owners, what we needed to learn to continue the training, Florenza broke down our tasks into small steps and watched, either in person, via a video or on zoom, as we worked to emulate what she had shown us. She is very good about staying in touch and always writes follow-up notes and answers all questions. In addition, she is a very nice person to work with.”
– Client
“Over the years training with florenza she has helped me and my dogs in teaching me how to communicate properly with my dogs as well as create better structure. She is very knowledgeable and helps teach you with your dog so you work as a team. She’s an also a fantastic teacher as well as trainer. Both my dogs jack and Geralt have come so far with me by working with florenza and gaining so much knowledge and skills! You’re truly a special trainer and one of a kind. Thank you for helping us learn, grow and for caring so much about us and not giving up on us!”

“I was at the end of my line with my 2 German Shepherds….until I found Rooby Doo. It’s been a lifesaver for us! Flo showed me how to handle my high energy dog and helped me enjoy my girls again. We’ve been with her for 3 yrs and we’re still learning! It is truly amazing how gifted Flo is with all dogs and making it seem to simple. I don’t know where we’d be without her.”

About the Trainer
Rooby-Doo Canine Academy, founded in 2018 by Florenza Pizanis, specializes in behavioral modification for dogs with reactivity and aggression issues. Florenza developed her expertise by rehabilitating her own rescued dog with severe aggression and later trained with experts in Los Angeles, gaining thousands of hours of hands-on experience. The academy offers group classes, private lessons, day training, and board & train programs. Services include obedience training (basic to competition level), nosework, trick/stunt dog, canine fitness, and AKC CGC preparation. They also support dog sports through their Rooby-Doo PSA/AS Club. Clients praise Florenza for her clear communication, structured teaching methods, and ongoing support via follow-up notes and video consultations.
The business is known for helping high-energy and reactive dogs, including working-line Malinois and German Shepherds, enabling owners to regain control and enjoy their pets. They emphasize owner education, ensuring clients learn to communicate effectively and maintain progress at home. Rooby-Doo welcomes all dog sizes and types, including large and intimidating breeds often turned away by other facilities.
