I can’t recommend Alberto enough! His commitment to Sade’s training was evident from day one. He was incredibly thorough and attentive—not only to Sade’s specific needs, but also to the areas I wanted to improve as an owner. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt confident continuing the training at home. What stood out most was his approach. Alberto was always respectful, patient, and gentle with Sade, while still making the necessary corrections at the right moments to help her learn and grow. His balance of kindness, consistency, and expertise made all the difference. The progress Sade has made is amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated dog trainer in South Florida, I highly recommend Alberto. You won’t be disappointed!

We noticed a huge improvement in his behavior, focus, and confidence. The trainers were professional, patient, and truly cared about him. We highly recommend their services. Thank you for helping Rio become such a well-behaved dog! 🐾❤️

Albert was an amazing trainer. Winnie is the first dog we’ve ever had and so we needed help training her. She picked up all of the commands very easily with Albert’s approach. His technique is very easy to understand. He consistently stayed with the plan and our puppy graduated with flying colors. Alberto showed up on time for every session and was available via text or phone call for questions. He was accommodating with his schedule and made this stressful puppy time so much more manageable. We are proud puppy owners now instead of nervous, stressed out owners. We couldn’t recommend Alberto enough. Do yourself favor and hire Weston Dog Training Academy to make your job as a puppy owner more enjoyable.
