Cerberus provided our dog with a week of intensive training, which yielded remarkable results. Previously, our dog had a biting habit and misbehaved regularly, but he now exhibits a calm demeanor and obeys well. Their expertise and qualifications position them as an exceptional option for individuals dealing with difficult dogs. Choosing Cerberus will not leave you dissatisfied.

As soon as we contacted them regarding our German Shepherd, Ziggy, Podrick and Maggie promptly responded. In fact, Podrick offered his services on the same day we informed him about our dog's aggression issues. He provided invaluable insights about our breed and the most effective ways to manage our pet. Prior to his training, Ziggy refused to obey several commands, but after working with Podrick, he learned to sit, lie down, and respond to "no". Furthermore, we obtained extensive guidance on training Ziggy in the presence of other dogs. Podrick is an excellent instructor who is always ready to assist. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to learn about dog training and breed-specific knowledge. He approaches the training process with authenticity and practicality, offering only the best practices. We are grateful for the significant progress our dog has made thanks to Podrick and Maggie's help. They treat our pet as if it's their own and prioritize its well-being, allowing us to feel like family. I strongly suggest Cerberus Protection to anyone searching for a trainer who truly cares about their pet and family. Thank you for all your support!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with our trainer! They communicated effectively, accommodated our budget, and possessed extensive knowledge about our dog's behavior. We adopted Bubblegum from a Rescue Alliance in DC; she's a 50-pound, one to two-year-old canine who was labeled as the perfect addition to any family. Unfortunately, we noticed some concerning behaviors that were not present at the shelter. When we returned to report our findings, the staff members had no explanation for her actions. Thankfully, this training company provided us with the necessary tools to address Bubblegum's issues. The trainer identified the sources of her negative behaviors, formulated a plan, and trained us on how to execute it. They were well-informed, responsive, and offered invaluable advice. We unequivocally recommend this establishment and plan on seeking additional services for our beloved Bubblegum. This place deserves more than five stars for their exceptional work!

Upon beginning with Cerberus Protection, I had concerns regarding my dog's aggression. However, following a singular session, I was astounded by her rapid shift in conduct. Witnessing her favorable reaction to the training offered a great sense of respite. I am exceedingly content with my decision to invest in Cerberus Protection.

Working with this company has been a delight. Our furry companions have shown remarkable progress in just one session, displaying signs of increased happiness and confidence. Personally, I have thoroughly enjoyed training my trio of large dogs. The trainer possesses exceptional knowledge on dog behavior, identifying their needs and responding to their actions accordingly, ultimately leading to a more self-assured pup.
