I have a Golden Retriever, Luca, who is FULL of energy, and honestly his behavior was starting to get out of hand. He wasn’t very obedient and I knew I needed help, so I reached out to DogFather after hearing so many great things. He responded within minutes, went over the different training options with me, and helped me choose what would work best for Luca. We decided on the 2-week board and train, and throughout the whole process he sent me updates and videos. When Luca came back, I almost didn’t recognize my own dog! His recall is INSANE, he actually listens, and DogFather worked on everything we had discussed beforehand. I’m so, so happy with the results and 100% recommend DogFather to anyone looking for a trainer! 🐾❤️
Jose (The Dog Father) worked with my Doberman, Ozzy, and I instantly saw how his training method was effective. Ozzy tended to pull whenever walking. Within a few minutes, Jose had Ozzy walking by his side without pulling. Ozzy took his direction very well and I feel like Jose really cares about the dogs he works with. Highly recommend his one-to-one training service.

We had a wonderful experience with Dog Father Training. He was incredibly patient with our young Dachshund, which made all the difference in her progress.Thanks to his guidance, she has mastered the basics like sitting and staying. More importantly, he taught her how to respect boundaries and personal space at home, and completely transformed our daily routine by teaching her how to actually enjoy a walk without pulling or getting distracted.If you are looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and effective trainer for your pup, look no further!
I am very happy with the help I received. He was very patient with my two yorkies, and in one session we were able to get my dog to use his stairs. He made some suggestions to correct unwanted behavior as well. We are still working on getting my puppy to use his doggy door, but we did make progress. Overall I'm happy with our session, and we have boarding with training scheduled soon.
