Working with Dominick from DC Doggo has been an awesome experience for me and my senior dog. Dominick's training philosophy is just what I was looking for: not dominance/fear-based, but rather teaching with safety and compassion to get the best results for your canine family member. I've learned so much about how to help my dog with his separation anxiety and behavioral adjustments. You really can teach an old dog (and human) new tricks.

Courtney, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! It means a lot. It's been such a privilege working with you and Ledu! Watching him rebuild his confidence and seeing how diligent you were about the training process has been so rewarding. Thank you for trusting DC Doggo with Ledu's training. I can't wait to pick things back up soon!

Dominick knows dogs and what makes them tick. He provides clear, cogent info to support his training methods, which are logical and effective. He makes sure the dog owner is part of the process. He is responsive to texts and a pleasure to work with. My dog loves him!
