High recommend. We were looking for someone to train our pup. After searching on Google I came across the dogfather. I read the reviews and loved the feedback. So we sent our 4 month old husky with him for the board and train package and it was well worth it. By the time our pup came back home he already knew commands and responded to them. So if your looking for someone to train your pup then reach out to the dogfather you won't be disappointed.

If you’d met my Yorkie before the Dogfather, you’d know he was less Yorkshire Terrier and more Yorkshire Terror. Barking at the wind, staging jailbreaks, and acting like he ran the neighborhood. I was living in a tiny, furry dictatorship. Enter The Dog Father. With just a few sessions, my little terror transformed into a well-behaved, polite pup I actually enjoy taking out in public. He walks without pulling, listens without bribery (most of the time), and doesn’t try to assassinate every other dog he catches site of. Progress! Jose Albano’s training style is all positive reinforcement, tons of patience, and a sense of humor that made even me feel less like a failed dog parent. If you’re dealing with a pint-sized paw-zilla like I was, do yourself a favor — call the Dogfather. He’s the real deal, and thanks to him, my Yorkie Terror is now a total Yorkie Treasure.

In my experience with my puppy 🐶 it was beyond great! She was always ready to run out when we opened the door now she walks away. We were in awe because that was always our fear because we always thought she would be run over. Thankfully, Jose taught her how to stay away from the door at all times. She also learned different commands but this was the one that we loved the most because to us it saves her life.
