Testimonials
Our dog was labeled ‘danger dog’ in our community. Although we knew she was not aggressive, her reactivity left me feeling hopeless. In a last ditch effort we met with Mario to see if there was a chance she could be helped. Fully expecting the 4 week board and train option, Mario advised that she would only need the 10 week training session. Within 2 visits we saw drastic improvement. We are at 8 weeks now and have a completely different dog! She no longer reacts to people or other animals in an aggressive way. She has become curious about them. She auto sits and looks to us when a trigger presents itself. She is still learning but I now have the confidence that I can handle her. My only regret is not finding him sooner.
-Mariano
Mariano is a wonderful trainer and teacher. He has helped me so much with my leash reactive Great Dane. Every session I walk away with more knowledge and the ability to deepen my relationship with my dog. He really focuses on the physiology and how dogs think vs just mindless commands.
-Anonymous
My pit mix is fearful and aggressive towards all people. We saw other trainers with no improvement. I found Mariano and even though I only had a short amount of time to work with him before relocating, he completely transformed my relationship with my dog. Now, I am so confident walking him around other people, his recall is nearly perfect and overall his (and my) confidence has significantly improved. My dogs fear and nervousness has also continued to improve using the techniques we were taught. I truly feel he has essentially saved my dogs life and I am eternally grateful for his help.
