We know your four-legged furry companions deserve the best, and we look forward to providing them with the quality pet care they deserve. The path to a harmonious relationship with dogs will present challenges. Our training programs turn these challenges into a fun and educational adventure. Using science-based, open-minded, and creative solutions, we teach you to be the handler your dog needs while simultaneously teaching your dog the necessary commands and behavioral skills to be the companion you deserve.

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!

DC Doggo is a lifesaver. I have worked with many different dog walking/training companies and DC Doggo is the best. Very professional and knowledgeable. Dom has a way with animals for sure. He gets so excited when he sees any dog. That kind of genuine love is radiating off of him. That's the kind of energy I trust with my fur baby. I'm so thankful to have come across his company.

Each dog is different so prices can vary greatly. However, to give you a general idea, our packages range from $250-$2,199. If none of our premade packages are the right fit for you, we will create a custom package to cater to your needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We always start with a consultation - this allows us to explain our methodology while getting a better understanding of your pet and your goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been mentored by widely respected trainers, I've studied with CATCH Canine Academy, and I've worked with hundreds of dogs. Continuing education for our trainers is something we require.
