Bespoke Canine Training

In 2024, we adopted a generally untrained, impulsive, unsocialized German Short-Haired Pointer and, after a couple years with us, our 3 yo girl was doing pretty well with some behaviors and not so well on others. Estivin was recommended to us for a two week boarding/training experience and we couldn't be happier! Impulse control on leash and off, confidence greeting people and dogs, distance down/stay, heel on leash and off, threshold boundaries, place command - all are now part of Schatzi's toolkit. Estivin's boarding and training work, daily video updates and follow-up sessions for Schatzi and us have been transformative. Friends and family are amazed at her progress and a few have suggested that perhaps she's actually a "stunt double"!! We're very happy....and so is Schatzi!! Can't thank you enough, Estivin...and highly recommend Bespoke to anyone seeking a more enjoyable relationship with a well-behaved, well adjusted, confident and happy four-legged family member!!

I cannot recommend Bespoke Canine Training highly enough. I wish I was allowed to give a 12-star rating! I have a six-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Benjamin Button, who is expected to reach 95 to 110 pounds. It is essential that I can walk him without pulling and that he greets people and other animals in a calm, controlled manner. After a few private lessons with Estevin, I was so impressed by his positive reinforcement techniques and his responsible use of training tools—which produced almost instant results—that I decided to enroll Benny in the two-week board and train program. During those two weeks, Estevin provided daily updates and videos of Benjamin’s progress. The level of basic obedience Benny displayed after just a few days was incredible; he was staying in place, heeling, and walking calmly past other dogs. What impressed me most was seeing how much Benny truly enjoyed working with Estevin. The foundation of obedience and good behavior that Estevin built in Benjamin is fantastic and has made the start of our journey together much better. Benny and I look forward to continuing private lessons with Estevin so that hopefully, I can learn as much as Benjamin has. Janet Whitaker

We cannot recommend our Estivin enough. We have a 9-month-old Aussiedoodle, Hank, who is very smart and active, but was also very confident and constantly testing boundaries. Before training, he pulled on walks, had almost no impulse control, and would try to grab anything out of our hands the second he saw it. Estivin also sent us video updates almost every day so that we could see his progress while he was away. I had no doubt that Hank was safe, and having the best time at training while also learning and developing his impulse control. The biggest change has been the freedom and trust we now have with him. We are able to walk with him off leash confidently because he stays close and checks in with us constantly. It has completely changed our relationship with Hank and made life so much more enjoyable for both us and him. He gets to actually be free and enjoy being a dog without us constantly worrying about what he is going to do next. We are so thankful that Estivin was able to give us the structure and focus we wanted without any change to Hank's personality. He is also always available to answer questions throughout the process, which made a huge difference for us as first-time owners navigating training consistency. At pickup, he was extremely comprehensive in showing us exactly how to maintain the training at home, and how to properly communicate with Hank moving forward. We never felt like we were just handed our dog back and left on our own. We are beyond grateful for the work, care, and time that went into him.

We loved our training with Bespoke! When he came home after the 2 weeks it was like having a whole new dog! He was so calm and responsive. Our walks now our without a leash, play ball outside, we even go on runs together! Totally worth the money to actually enjoy our dog now! We got videos and updates throughout the boarding process and Estivin was there to answer any questions we had and walk us through the process. Highly recommend his services!
