FirstBarkLazaro is so amazing and feels like a friend. He gave me so many helpful pointers and I now have dog that is way less anxiously attached to me than prior. I recommend him for any type of training!

Laz is a great trainer and very helpful with any questions you may have. He goes above and beyond

"My husband and I adopted Kirby, a one-year-old stray from a Puerto Rico rescue, and to say he was a handful is an understatement. He was headstrong, undisciplined, and completely chaotic! We reached out to Alpha Buddy Dog Training, and our trainer, Laz, was an absolute lifesaver. Laz didn’t just train Kirby; he taught us the management skills needed to create a much less chaotic home. One of our biggest concerns was integrating Kirby with our two cats, and thanks to Laz’s expertise, Kirby has successfully learned to accept them as part of the family. If you are struggling with a difficult rescue, we highly recommend Alpha Buddy Dog Training—the transformation has been incredible for all of us!"

Laz has been exceptional throughout our dog training journey. A couple of months ago, we found a stray pit bull. He was young, shy, and beautiful—we named him Oliver. After a few weeks, Oliver began showing signs of aggression and even bit me. We had an international trip planned for the very next day and were desperate for help. We called Laz, and he spent over an hour with us on the phone, patiently and thoroughly addressing every question and concern. He recommended a several-week boarding and training program. Though we didn’t have much choice at the time, it turned out to be the right decision. When we got Oliver back, we could see the incredible progress he made during his time with Laz. Since then, Laz has proactively reached out to check in on us, our training, and Ollie. When we recently had an incident with Ollie, Laz immediately jumped on a call to help us navigate it. I have been beyond impressed by Laz’s dedication—not only to the dogs he trains but to the people who care for them. Throughout this ongoing process, he has emphasized the importance of consistency, structure, and reassurance. Laz, thank you for giving Ollie a chance at a normal life and for helping us along the way.
