A very positive experience with dc Doggo. Dominic came in and was very calm with Gracie and she took to him right away. I really liked his style of teaching my puppy. If you are looking for a good dog trainer this company is a great choice.

I have been working with Dominick for about six weeks. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and my dog absolutely loves him! Dominck has taught me so much about my dog, his behaviors, and how to handle them. With his help I am feeling more confident in my ability to handle my dog and am seeing significant improvement! I highly recommend DCDoggo!

If your dog has ever greeted a guest by launching at them like a furry rocket, you need Dominick. Weve worked with him twice, first when our pup Lucy was just a few months old and again now that shes bigger and bolder. From day one he told us exactly what to expect at each stage, so we always knew what was coming.He goes way past the basics like obedience and puppy biting. He helped us actually get Lucy, what makes her tick and how to work with her to bring out the best in her. Were tackling polite greetings, which is huge for us, because wed love for friends to walk in the door without getting body-slammed by a happy dog. A couple of in-house sessions in and the progress is already so good were a little stunned. He makes the whole thing easy to follow and honestly fun, and our bond with Lucy has grown right along with her manners. Cannot recommend him enough.

Sara, thank you so much for the glowing review! Working with you and Lucy has been and continues to be so fun and fulfilling. I can't wait to see how much progress you make together in the coming months 😁

I completed the first obedience training course for my dog Lizzy. Dominic was wonderful. They give you pointers and homework to complete between sessions so your dog is constantly progressing. Couldnt recommend them more
DC Doggo's reply
Jack, thank you for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure working with you and Lizzy, and we hope to see you back for advanced obedience soon.
