UPDATE as of December 25, 2020 Sadly, Jorge has passed away due to cancer. We are no longer taking on clients as my dad was THE STAR of this show and business. I know my dad would like me to thank all of his clients for giving him the opportunity to work with their dogs. He truly loved what he did and was a fantastic trainer. I'll leave with this quote from my dad..."I'm like Cesar Milan, just cuter". This account will remain active for a little while so as the people who have recently contacted my dad for hire will see why he hadn't returned their inquiries. ************************** Our philosphy for dog obedience is simple- build a foundation and have fun with your dog! We only use humane and effective methods that have been proven to work. We have trained over a thousand dogs in Florida. We are highly recommended by clients, veterinarians, and others in the industry. We spend the time with you upfront to make sure training with us is a good fit. Due to our ability to understand dogs and drive results, we have built successful boarding and day care programs to complement our training, and of course our personal one on one in home training. We utilize a variety of proven training techniques. Not all dogs respond to a single method of training so we don't rely on one method. Our goal is to help you achieve your training goals while making it fun and educational for you. If you and your dog are having a good time learning, the better the results! Our promise to all of our training clients is to work with you until you are satisfied with your dog’s progress and education that last a life time. Our techniques incorporate all facets of learning theory, the most important being operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. We teach using motivational and reward based method,LOVE. We feel that dogs, like humans, learn through consequence- whether it be positive or negative, but that if you spend the time teaching and rewarding positive behaviors, negative consequences can be greatly reduced or eliminated. Most importantly, we believe if you teach dogs desired behaviors, dogs will respond to verbal cues and correct behaviors on their own! We believe that using motivational techniques, you can build a wonderful relationship with your dog, AGAIN THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. Our personal dogs are our pets, and most of them are rescues or surrenders. We have dealt with the same types of pet struggles, from basic obedience to aggression, that may have affected you. We understand how difficult it can be managing your life and your dog that just wont listen! We genuinely want to help you and your pet because too many times we see what the end results are.. I am versed in all training methods and have developed my skills by working with thousands of dogs, since my young age.

We met for the first time last week, and had our first class last Saturday. It became obvious that he is experienced and knowledgeable. My dog reacted well to him, and I am looking forward to completing the training with the reactivity and socialization issues resolved. He is the third trainer I am working with, and hoping the last. I will update at the end of training.

Within the first day of training we saw a noticible difference in our dog. Jorge does a phenomenal job at exposing not only his techniques but the logic and reasoning behind them as well. We look forward to future classes.

Yesterday was our first class and boy did life in our home change. George walked in and started working with Zeus and us. It was amazing to see how our super energetic Zeus turn into such an easy going dog. I'm so excited to see the end result with him. George has saved our dog. Right when everyone had given up on him we found George. Training us first to work with the dog was amazing. No more pulling in just about the first 15 minutes. And that's just the beginning.

I have a 3 year old rescued Pitbull/Labrador Mix and he’s just terrified of everything, I lost all hope of getting him trained but Jorge decided to take on the challenge and I’ve been very impressed with the little improvements I’m already seeing with him, we work on walking and focusing his attention to me and it’s going fantastic, Jorge takes the time to explain and teach you along the way for more lasting results, I think that’s wonderful, most dog trainers I’ve talked to wanted to take my dog for 3 weeks and then teach me everything he learned in an hour, I don’t learn that way. Jorge teaches me and my dog at the same time and takes the time to explain everything that he’s doing and why he is doing it! I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer, by far the best one we’ve talked to!
