Working with them is an absolute pleasure as there are no reservations or red flags. However, if you're searching for a trainer, I recommend being discerning and trusting your instincts when communicating with any trainer. Look for warning signs such as trainers who don't listen to you or make assumptions about your dog after an initial meeting. If the dogs they work with look "shut down" or if their "positive" method causes ineffective communication with the dog, or if they're unprofessional with scheduling or returning communications, it's best to seek a different trainer. If you get a tingle or uneasy feeling, it may be due to an unfitting trainer or your readiness for a particular training style. I have had great experiences with Sal and Perdis, having worked with different trainers before them. They are exceptional for multiple reasons. Firstly, Sal listens attentively, even when I make mistakes, as they value training the human component involved. We discuss things I don't comprehend and find alternative approaches if their initial instructions aren't effective. Even when I anthropomorphize my dog, Sal still listens, keen to obtain any relevant information. Secondly, Perdis is extremely efficient in scheduling and addressing queries. This is crucial, as dog trainers are better with canines than with people. Perdis' grasp of animal behavior, coupled with Sal's training expertise, make for a dynamic duo, available to tend to follow-up questions and provide continued support.

After my 3-year-old Shiba Inu underwent Sal's 4-week Board & Train program, we noticed considerable progress both outside and inside our home. Sal guided us in setting new behavioral parameters for our canine companion, which we have sustained through recurrent training sessions. Overall, a highly recommended experience!

Dedication Dog Training has been instrumental in preparing my beloved canine, Sokka, for his role as a Service Dog 🐕‍🦺. Not only did they assist me in finding the ideal service dog candidate, but they also equipped him with the necessary training to assist me medically and psychiatrically. Although I couldn't select all five options, this training program is unparalleled in terms of its commitment and responsiveness - its timely responses are exceptional! Regardless of traffic, their professional attitude and work ethic are unwavering, ensuring that every session is productive. The overall experience has surpassed my expectations, making it the finest training company I have ever dealt with. 🐾

Dedication Dog Training is a phenomenal trainer, particularly Sal. Our two dogs attended the training camp with Sal, where every canine (and owner) worked on unique obstacles. After the camp, our dogs returned home delighted, sound, and well-informed about expectations. Sal's training approaches are rigorous, but they pay off. During the camp, it was hard to be separated from our fur babies, but Sal kept us in the loop about their progress. Once every week, we met with Sal, who expertly taught us to be responsible dog owners. Investing in our dogs by enrolling them in this training was a wise decision. Training is challenging, and consistency is a must. If your dog's conduct is causing stress to your family, Dedication Dog Training is the best destination, with Sal as an exceptional trainer. Highly recommended!
