Argos Dog Training

We were lucky enough to find Argos via referral from about of state trainer. I reached to Argos and learned that Martin is a very sought after trainer and waited about 8 weeks to get our first appointment. He is worth the wait and effort and drive to get there. He is an incredibly pleasant and patient man who took his time with us to explain what he noticed and how his plan for training would be developed. When he took the leash of our anxious dog, the dog responded beautifully to his demeanor and skills. We have been working on the training plan at home, and we notice an absolute difference in his attention and anxiety. The communication from his office is excellent and very clear, so you understand the expectations for success. They will answer any questions thoroughly. Please do consider Matin a truly professional and competent teacher in understanding and helping your dog. He is so patient and such a great educator. It is clear upon the first visit that he is a wonderful man who enjoys his work and wants to help pets and their families. It is worth your every moment of your time and effort to reach out to him.

Martin was incredible with our anxious rescue dog. He was so patient- yet rigorous, focused, and effective. I don’t think I’ve ever seen our dog so happy and engaged during any other activity like he was in this training program. Martin has the perfect demeanor for this work, and it’s evident he has a true understanding and connection with dogs. He zeroed in on tiny behaviors and reactions that our dog was exhibiting and helped me to better understand what they meant, what triggered them, and how to work with them. I’d recommend Martin to anyone. He was so professional and friendly, and taught us so much in a short time. Thanks Martin!!

I’ve loved working with Martin and the team at Argos. So far I’ve taken my pup to socialization classes and individual lessons and his behavior has improved significantly. Martin is very understanding of both the person and the pup! My pup was shy at first in socialization but there was no pressure in him to rush it and he came out of his shell on his own. Martin covers all the essentials and also offers alternative solutions when necessary so you can find what works for you and your pup. After a handful of lessons, we get praised for how well behaved he is even as a young dog!

We started working with Martin when we adopted our Airedale puppy early last summer. We began attending puppy socialization classes when he was 8 weeks old (an awesome experience and plenty of good tips for puppy parents!) which really helped properly socialize our pup for appropriate play as an adolescent/adult. We've also worked with Martin in private basic obedience sessions which has really helped improve our communication with our dog. Our relationship and quality of life with our dog has improved meaningfully, all due to Martin's hard work, great communication, and patience. Martin is passionate about teaching dogs and their owners a common language! Thank you Martin!
