Gonzalo is one of the most present, kind, thoughtful, insightful humans you will ever interact with. He deeply listens, he cares and he is a Master with understanding dogs and their behavior. Don’t hesitate, from small undesirable quirks to dauntingly exhausting behavior... call Gonzalo. There’s no better trainer or human to call for help. He will give you the exact support and information that you desire. His first goal is to give you insights and suggestions and tangible and realistic actions that you can take on your own to train your dog in the way you need to experience more ease & harmony together. And if you’re too busy with life Gonzalo will train your dog, working together with you over time to create sustaining good health and behavior in your dog.

I am so happy with the results of his dog training with my Newfie puppy, Layla. He is very passionate and a wizard at training dogs. I wish I had a video of the first 5 minutes of pure magic he worked in our first training session. I was slightly teary eyed with happy tears-I knew right then and there he was going to help us better than anyone else! After meeting with Gonzalo just 1 time, I saw a huge improvement in Layla. Gonzalo pointed out, Layla (and dogs in general) actually LOVES structure and wants to be given direction. She is happiest when she is doing things that result in rewards like pets, praise and some treats here and there. She doesn't want to be told no or punished constantly... go figure! In that 1 session, Gonzalo implemented some very basic foundations that Layla needed to work on. The best thing about Gonzalo's training is he taught us how to communicate with Layla.

Gigi is motivated, but needs a cheerleading section of excitement to make her go - and I found out how little I knew about bulldogs. Gonzalo spends the time and energy - he is very energetic and passionate - he gets to know your dog. Yes, he probably has the history of the breed embedded in his brain but he gets to the core personality of your dog by their behavior and works with them to motivate, train and succeed................He has gotten to the inner workings of Gigi, why she reacts the way she does, when she is going to react, and how to prevent her from reacting in a negative manner. He is very straightforward with how what you may be doing may be negatively impacting your dog. It is incredible how well he is able to read and predict animal behavior. Not only does he spend the time with your furry family member he truly wants to incorporate you into the lesson.

I had the honor of coming to San Diego to watch my sons dog for 3 days. She is absolutely perfect ... Kinda. I contacted Gonzalo before coming to San Diego about training her on just a couple things! He gently informed me I wouldn't train the dog in 3 days but he would work with me to give me some tools to manage my sweet grand dog. I could go on and on with all he covered with me...but bottom line he was professional and incredibly experienced with dog training, animal training, actually reading them! When we walked to the apartment he noticed a 2nd dog that lives there as well! He basically started over with the second one; he thought I had my work cut out for me! The 3 days were a fun filled challenge of learning and bonding. My thanks and appreciation go to Gonzalo who is absolutely incredible...
