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 !
