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.

George is great! My dog Hercules absolutely loves him! Hercules is still young but he has definitely improved an immense amount and it is all thanks to George! We still aren’t done with training I can’t wait to see the end result! I would highly recommend!

Jorge responded right away to my inquiry for getting training for my 5 month old German Shepherd. My pup came with some baggage being moved around to two different homes before I finally got him. He has issues walking on a leash, guarding his crate and water bowl and trying to run out of the door when it’s opened. Already with Jorge’s advice, training and guidance I see a huge improvement in my pups behavior. He’s already walking so much better on a leash and listening to commands the first time not the 10th time. He’s getting better at not feeling like he has to guard “his” stuff. My pup sits at the threshold of the door and waits for permission to be invited outside. All this after one lesson. Jorge will stay on top of you to make sure you get the most out of the training to include homework. Also his rates are more then fair. If you truly want to have a better dog I suggest hiring Jorge!

Jorge is a dog whisperer. He teaches you and trains you more importantly. My cockapoo Brody was always very intelligent but very headstrong. He lacked the discipline and respect. After only three weeks, and a little bit of energy and effort on my end on top of my regular activities, Brody is doing FANTASTIC. He walks so well on the leash, and Jorge has helped me start to slowly chip away at Brody's separation anxiety and getting better with stay. Everything I asked of Jorge, we basically accomplished in three sessions. I plan on doing three more to push Brody (and myself) to our limits. Happy pup, happy owner. I would highly recommend Jorge!!

Jorge has worked with our 7 and a half month old boxer a few weeks now. After the first class he seemed like a different dog. He has been able to help with his overall obedience, sitting and staying, leash walking, not jumping or talking back and barking. Everyone that sees our dog says they can't believe how well trained his is for being so young. I highly recommend Jorge for your training needs. He always comes to me, and is a great teacher!

I hired Jorge to help my girlfriend and I train a new puppy we had picked up a little over a month ago. This was my first dog, and, despite the fact that I'd watched numerous training videos and read several training books, nothing can really prepare you for this kind of experience like a good teacher, paired with practice. Jorge is a natural with dogs. From the moment he first showed up, our puppy listened to him in a way that neither my gf nor I expected (she was completely obedient with him while she had previously been really wild with us). He gave us an in-depth explaination the social dynamics of dogs and taught us to communicate with her in a way that she would understand. As a result of Jorge's work, which is still in progress (it's a 6 week course, with extensions when needed), I can see steady improvements in her behavior and she's well on her way to being a great companion. One of the notable things that should be mentioned about Jorge is his availability and flexibility. Whenever my gf or I have had issues, questions, etc., Jorge has immediately made himself available to us to help (either by phone or in person). He clearly loves his work and undoubtedly finds pleasure in spending time (even unplanned time) with the dogs he trains. Taking all of the abovementioned details into account, combined with the relatively low cost of Jorge's program (it's a really fantastic deal for what we're getting), I highly recommend Jorge for his dog training services.
