Affordable Compassionate Dog Training specializes in Reactive dogs, Anxious dogs and adopted dogs. I deal with complex behavior cases that don’t resolve with basic obedience. I work in home throughout Broward and nearby Palm Beach, focusing on behavior rehabilitation through calm leadership, clear structure and fair practical methods.
My work centers on issues like reactivity, anxiety, fear based behaviors, impulsivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding and dogs that struggle to be calm. These are not quick fix problems. I offer customized private in home training and board and train programs. Free phone consultation. Serving Coral Springs, Boca Raton, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Margate and surrounding areas.

I can’t recommend Avi highly enough. From the very first session, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient with both me and my dog. He took the time to explain not only what to do, but why it works, which made the training process much easier to understand and follow. Avi provided clear homework after each session, giving us practical exercises to work on between visits that led to real progress. He was always kind, encouraging, and responsive to questions. Thanks to his guidance, our dog’s behavior has improved tremendously. I would absolutely recommend Avi to anyone looking for an exceptional dog trainer.

Avi is an absolute joy to work with. Our dog is extremely reactive and was becoming impossible to manage both inside the house and outside the house. Avi has incorporated a series of different trainings and techniques focused primarily on positive reinforcement and our own emotional regulation that have made a significant impact on our dogs behavior and own self-esteem. He adapts his trainings to each specific dog and circumstance and brings something new to each situation. He provides detailed recaps and homework at the end of each session. I look forward to our sessions each week and I would 10/10 recommend Avi to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

Avi did a miracle with rescue pup Mo in one session. Avi was so patient and focused. Really understood the needs and how to proceed. Looking forward to the next session to help Mo continue to progress.

My wife and I adopted our second dog, Scout, a German Pinscher mix, at the end of May. A few weeks in, we were trying to figure out the right time and way to introduce her to our first dog, Rebel, while also giving Scout a solid training foundation and continuing to work on some things with Rebel.
We reached out to Avi, and he was kind enough to make the long drive up to Royal Palm to help us. From the start, he has honestly been a godsend.
Avi is extremely knowledgeable, but what really stands out is how well he explains everything. He breaks things down in a way that is easy to understand and makes you feel confident instead of overwhelmed. He does not just tell you what to do; he explains why you are doing it, which has helped both the dogs and us so much.
One of the things we appreciate most is how well Avi reads the dogs and the situation. He knows when to push forward, but he also knows when it is time to take a step back and give the dogs a chance to learn. That is something I feel like a lot of trainers might overlook, but with Avi it feels natural and makes complete sense once he explains it.
We already have three training routines down, and we are so excited to keep building on what we have learned. Scout and Rebel are already making amazing progress, and we feel much more confident helping our girls become the best versions of themselves.
We are super impressed with Avi and will definitely be working with him for the foreseeable future. If you are looking for a trainer who is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and truly knows how to work with both dogs and people, we highly recommend him.

I highly recommend affordable 🐶 Compassionate dog training by Avi. avi is easy to work with and punctual and professional. His love of dogs is obvious and his methods are unique. He’s reasonably priced and has a flexible schedule. Abbi doesn’t make you feel stupid for being clueless about how to take care of a dog. I would definitely use him.
