We were vetting dog trainers for our Doberman puppy, Anakin, and we just so happen to meet Javier while shopping at Pet Empire. We asked about training and he gave us a couple of great behavioral tips, particularly about dealing with a power breed but recommended we reach out after Anakin completes all of his vaccinations. We planned to start training after New Year's, but Anakin seemed to start his teenager phase early and while we socialized him as much as possible, he seemed to digress particularly with walking, so early December I reached out to Javier for the four 1:1 personal training sessions. We were able to schedule them rather quickly. Javier was very knowledgeable and communicative. He explained clearly how we can create a better connection with Anakin, how our own behavior affects his behavior, and why it was important we correct them. We learned new things that YouTube/Google couldn't have provided because Javier personalized the training around Anakin's breed and temperament. We had our kids attend the trainings as well so we all can get the same training and info, which incredibly improved Anakin's behavior because the training at home was consistent. He also helped build our kids' confidence in walking Anakin. He went above and beyond as a trainer. We will be signing up for the group trainings for additional socialization as well as more 1:1 trainings. We fully trust in Javier's expertise in training our powerful yet crybaby of a Doberman. We highly recommend him!
