About

I have been a certified dog trainer from Animal Behavior College since 2011. I go to the clients and provide private one-on-one training. I also provide dog sitting and walking services. I will be giving you the tools to communicate better with your dog and to have a closer relationship with them. I will be helping you and your dog to become better together. I enjoy when I see the clients start implementing what they have learned and the dog responds to him/her more positively and intently, deepening their relationship with each other, and both are happier.

Gus was great and in one session gave me a tip that has changed my dog’s behavior completely. I reached out to Gus for help with some specific things and he helped me address and correct them in one visit.

Gus is a great trainer! He helped us train our 4 month old rescue puppy and he has made a complete turnaround. Private training is always beneficial when bringing home a new dog!

Oh my goodness Gus has saved us literally thousands of dollars with our 10month old Weimaraner . His techniques work and are practical! We’ve gone to other trainers who’ve told us that our dog is this , he’s that, his need this program he’s needs that ... and Gus was able to pinpoint the real issue and help us tackle it . Thanks Gus !

Add value and punctuality. I received more knowledge and positive reinforcement from our hour with Gus then I've gotten from all the training manuals read or YouTube videos watched combined. When he talks he tell you something you need to know , a technique, or a point of reference you never knew was important to your puppy. Like a door frame or the change of flooring. He taught me how my pup see it. Invaluable. So that we are on the same page, Gus is returning Saturday to go through this with my regularly visiting friend, who thinks he's a dog whisperer(not). Gus really gave me tips and techniques that have already made a difference with my 5 month old boston terrier. Thank you. I feel so much better about the future of my life with this little spitfire.
