Hired on Thumbtack

I can't say enough about Armando. His love of my animals and kindness to me were among the extras. He sure knows how to train the trainers as well as the dogs. My other dog, who was not being trained also learned by watching. I hired him for my fiesty blind dog to improve walking. I have a healing broken shoulder. He kept his promise both doggies can be walked again. Well worth the price and the friendship.

Our family was very blessed to work with Armando. He is the best dog trainer in the world. He has a great personality, and our children and puppy were very fond of him. We were kind of sad that the training finished and we won't see Armando. He was very punctual, respectful, caring, and professional during the trainings. Now our puppy is fully trained, and she does amazing. Thank you so much, Armando!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our prices are based on an initial assessment of your dog. Our training programs are tailored based on your goals as a customer and the initial assessment. All dogs are different and all clients also have different expectations.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our process start with a free phone consultation session where I am going to find out as much as I can about your dog, the environment where he lives and your goals as a dog owner. After that 1st phone consultation session I will offer you the options I believe will be the best for you and your dog.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am member of the International Association of Canine Professionals who has been trained by recognized Dog Trainers in the USA and Canada. My main mentor is Duke Ferguson, one of the most famous dog trainers in the world. I have been applying Duke's philosophy and training techniques with great success.
