unTAMED Dog Co.

Mariano, McKenna, and the team at Untamed Dog Co. are absolutely incredible. My dog Elfo is a rescue with an abuse history and has had behavioral issues since I rescued him. He barked incessantly at anyone new, nipped at ankles (he’s part Pit so the biting was concerning) and because I don’t personally have any experience with training dogs he didn’t even know basic commands. Elfo spent three weeks with Untamed. He came home today and he’s more relaxed, better behaved, and starting to understand that it’s my job to protect him. Not only do Mariano and his team train the dogs, but they train the owners as well. He gave me a much more in depth insight into why my dog behaves the way he does and helped me to understand the reasoning behind the techniques they use. I cannot thank Mariano and his team enough. It’s incredible to see the change in Elfo. I honestly was skeptical that he could be trained at the start. But, Untamed was nothing short of amazing. He’s still the same loving boy. But he’s now discipled, obedient, and I feel much more in control. I have already given the information for Untamed to quite a few friends and don’t plan on stopping. It can be difficult to find quality trainers and I spent a lot of time looking. I would recommend Untamed to anyone who needs a dog trainer without hesitation. They not only have a firm hand when it comes to training but they do it in a loving way that Elfo was very receptive to. I was able to see how much Elfo trusted and cared for everyone that worked there. We’re so excited to continue with his training at home and with our follow up lessons, and weekend classes! You guys are the best! Thank you for training not just my baby but me as well!

We have two Shelties about 2 months apart. Our older Sheltie, Skye had been to a board and train that we had a bad experience with. When we got our younger Sheltie, Luna I wanted to do board and train again but was hesitant based on our first experience. After researching more we found Untamed Dog Training. We met with the owner Mariano and instantly felt comfortable with him and the environment. Mariano isn’t just about churning dogs through his program, he works with the dogs and the owners to build a strong foundation for ongoing success. He teaches the philosophy of training not just the commands. Both Skye and Luna went through his 3 week board and train and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They are only 4 and 6 months old so they have some great basics established now We will continue to work with Mariano for ongoing training for Skye and Luna. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He truly cares about the dogs he trains and about building as successful relationship between pets and owners. We were so blessed to find him.

I would give Mariano more than 5 stars if I could. He was my 4th trainer for my very fearful chihuahua mix rescue, a dog who could not handle the wind blowing on him or an airplane flying overhead without shutting down. No trainer had yet been able to touch him, he would not accept treats from any of them. Mariano was able to pet him, give him treats and teach him the down position within the first 1/2 hr of meeting him. Mariano gives the structure and discipline that every dog needs and craves. My pup did a month board and train with him in June and Mariano’s services are still available to me to help continue the work on my pup (he is so much better in every aspect from Knowing his commands to the walk to Not fearing every little thing). Mariano is well versed in all aspects of training a dog and will customize his approach to your dog’s needs. My biggest regret is to assume one method of training was the only way to go.. I was talked into that with my 3rd trainer before Mariano and assumed that he knew best. He wasted my time and cost me $1500. Go with Mariano you won’t regret it.
