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!

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!
