Testimonials

“I love these people cause they love my girl, Riley. I have used The Orlando Dog Trainer for the last couple years for training, overnight stays, and day care. Everyone is nice and the care is excellent, and they are easy and flexible to work with! Riley loves going there and the peace of mind I get is priceless! I also use them for mobile grooming which is extremely convenient with my busy schedule. Thank you, Jen and Steven!”

“We have been training our lab with the Orlando Dog trainer for about 18 months. She is training to be the service dog for my disabled son. Steven constantly thinks outside of the box with training. He is always willing to accommodate my son’s needs and comes up with great ideas to make the training personalized for the dog & my son. I highly recommend Steven and the Orlando Dog Trainer! He has made a huge difference with our dog and in our life!”

“We Needed to travel out of state when our labradoodle puppy, Basil, was only 4 months old and also needed to find a trainer for some much needed obedience training… Within 48 hours of Basil arriving we were seeing him walk perfectly to heel on a loose leash, sit, stay and come. We were absolutely amazed… Steven and Jennifer are incredible, genuine people. They care deeply about what they do.”
