Look no further for the best dog training!! Gina and Fabian work wonders. I have a 2 1/2 year old German Shorthair Pointer that was completely out of control. He ruled the house and he ruled me! 3 weeks at Applied Canine Concepts and he’s a different dog! He listens and respects me. Everyone we come in contact with can not believe the change. Gina was always so easy to get in contact with and sent videos of Porter’s progress. It is obvious they love what they do and love the dogs. My only regret is I didn’t do this sooner!

Before I brought Marlin to Applied Canine Concepts he was out of control. His behaviors were so bad that he was being medicated for seizures, anxiety and obsessive behaviors. In addition to being extremely aggressive to other animals, he would spin uncontrollably, attack the air, chew his skin until sores appeared, and bark uncontrollably. We visited several vets and each one would add a new medication to “treat” him. He even had an expensive prescription dog food in the hopes that reducing his crude protein would reduce his destructive behaviors. He even had to be sedated and muzzled whenever he went to the vet. I originally signed Marlin up for the 3 week program and it became obvious that in order for Marlin to succeed I needed to be trained as well so before he was done we added an additional week. Marlin finished his training three months ago, but I continue to work with him every day. In the beginning, it was very difficult for me to make the corrections that Marlin needed but I would see how well he did with Fabien and know that I was the problem and following the program made Marlin so much happier. Fabien and Gina have been there to answer every question that has come up and we have gone out for group classes when I needed to learn how to address specific situations. I have never felt alone along the way. Today, Marlin is off all of his medications, eats a normal reasonably priced dog food, and is able to go for walks without trying to attack everything in his path. He is learning to trust me and while we sometimes have issues, they are few and far between. Marlin rarely needs corrections anymore and people who knew Marlin before the Clean Slate program cannot believe the changes in him. He is a calmer and happier dog and the bond between us is stronger than ever. I would recommend this service to anyone, and could not be happier with the result!

Fabian and Gina are amazing! Experts, talented and professional in their knowledge and wisdom on dog behavior and correction! Truly gifted in their craft and second to none! After leaving our dog Rocky for 3 weeks with Fabian, Gina and their staff we have a wonderfully renewed relationship with our dog and receive compliments all the time on how well behaved he is. Both Rocky and ourselves as pet owners were part of the training process and it has developed fundamental must be obeyed rules, respect and mutual understating between both pet and owner. The training facility and property are amazing! We highly recommend Fabian, Gina and their staff at Applied Canine Concepts! Dominic and Maria Galluzzo

Gina and Fabian are miracle workers! We brought them our two 4 year old catahoula dogs. They listened to a few of our commands but ran wild once outside. They were both freightened by loud noises and literally crawled into our laps when they heard gun shots or thunder. It couldn’t be stopped! After their/our training, all old habits have completely stopped!! They now know the laws and immediately listen to our commands. We still have to reinforce them occasionally with their collars, but it definitely works incredibly well. Can’t thank Gina and Fabian enough! Definitely recommend their program to anyone with a dog!

I can assure all who may read this that your search for the absolute best dog trainers will end here. Whatever your training needs may be, Gina and Fabian are the best in the business to help you and your furry family member. I was searching for a trainer for my 6 month old puppy who had developed fear aggression and was incredibly reactive. Despite decades of owning my particular breed, I quickly realized this pup was way above my training abilities. I could not bring him down when he escalated, and as a pup who would grow into a big dog, he could become dangerous if I didn’t seek out help. That’s when I started my search. I did A LOT of research. I spoke to different trainers about their programs and methods. After watching every video and reading every testimonial for Applied Canine Concepts, I had to call. Enter Gina and Fabian. I knew I had made the right choice. After learning about their program and their individual credentials and achievements, I couldn’t believe that these world class champion trainers were a half hour away, almost in my backyard! Choosing them was the best decision I could have made. They will change your life, particularly if you have a challenging dog. The transformation in my pup’s behavior was simply unbelievable. My jaw literally dropped. But it doesn’t end there. Gina and Fabian train you, and this is critical. They build the behavior, you have to build the habit through what they teach you. On top of that, you and your dog now become partners for life with Gina and Fabian. They are just a text or phone call away. They will help you through every question, every step of the way. I am forever grateful and indebted to Gina and Fabian - they are the real deal, they are game changers and life changers. At home, when chilling with or working with our boy, we often verbalize how they literally changed our lives and outlook for the future. We also then sent our other retriever to them for training. His needs were much different, more along the lines of controlling his exuberant, happy energy. We wanted to ensure we can reinforce the obedience with both to move the life we want. Lastly, I have referred friends who have tried other trainers. I guarantee them this is the last stop, Gina and Fabian will set you up for life. If you’ve read all the way through, just call them. You will not regret it. I assure you that you will not find anyone as qualified and dedicated. It will be the best investment you will make in your life and your dog’s life! Thank you Gina and Fabian!!!!
