About

At Obedient Tails Dog Training I focus on building better bonds between dogs and their families. I do not believe in quick fixes and instead I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and your goals so we can create lasting results. Whether it is leash manners, crate training, recall, or helping your dog settle in busy environments, I bring patience, structure, and a personal touch to every session. I have worked with all types of dogs from stubborn puppies to high energy huskies and my goal is always to make training simple, clear, and effective for both you and your dog.

Carlos is an exceptional dog trainer. From the moment he arrived, he immediately understood my dog's behavior and established control through clear, confident commands. His knowledge of dog behavior was evident right away. I have a very protective German Shepherd, and Carlos quickly taught me effective techniques to manage and control my dog with confidence. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and apply, and I saw positive results almost immediately.

We got adult Doberman from a shelter with a huge bouquet of past traumas. Thanks to Carlos we are tackling them one by one. Before meeting Carlos we were desperate, felt helpless with her behavior, and now we enjoy being with our dog, training her, and we are working toward enjoying our walks. We had 3 sessions already, and it’s a huge change, looking forward to many more, as with each our bond and trust with the dog grows. P.S. I tried watching 100s of YouTube videos, but the important things we are learning were never really mentioned, so personal training is a must for any dog. I also love the variety of services Carlos offers, such as boarding, one on one sessions, training humans 🤣 to be a good dog owners. My dog isn’t an easy case with past fights and abuse, shelter time, and other insecurities, having Carlos in our lives is a huge change that we appreciate A LOT!

Had a great first session with Carlos! We have a 4 month old doberman puppy and he gave us so many helpful tips and tricks!! He helped us with potty training, leash training, and over all obedience in just the consultation. We went ahead and booked 5 more sessions with him and we can’t wait to see how much better our puppy can be!! Thanks Carlos!!

My fiancé and I reached out to Carlos after basically losing all hope with our 8.5 week old Golden-Retriever puppy. He was extremely responsive right away and we had a consultation call in the morning and he came to us later that day!! He gave us all the tools and equipment and showed us how to better train/handle our little baby and helped tremendously with crate training, constant biting and leash training. Carlos has offered support since our first session and we’re already looking forward to our next one!! Bogey and his tired parents can’t thank him enough! 🐾
