Jorge is amazing!

We adopted an 8 week old rescue (mostly German Shepard, part rottweiler/mix) with incredible amounts of energy. Knowing what we know from our previous dog (who we adopted at 6th months and came with major anxiety issues) we knew we needed to start socialization and training early with our new girl. A friend recommended Jorge and after our first phone conversation we knew he was the right trainer for us. Jorge’s initial focus was as a dog behaviorist and he helped us work on building our puppy’s confidence and breaking bad habits she had already picked up (resource guarding, digging, etc.). We met once per week for 6 weeks in and around our home helping our puppy get used to the world around her (confidence around bikes, skateboards, loud noises, high surfaces, etc.), and Jorge incorporated very basic manners/commands. Once our puppy received all of her shots we started attending Jorge’s socializations trainings on Saturdays at a nearby park (which he throws in for free while you are in training). After the initial puppy sessions we moved into basic obedience training (long stay, heel, recall, etc., and even some cute tricks). We have since graduated from basic obedience and we are planning to start intermediate training soon with Jorge. We continue to attend the Saturday sessions (for a small fee since we’re no longer in a current training program) and Jorge is always willing to help us with the newest issue or behavior questions that come up as our puppy moves through her “teenage years”. As with many trainers, Jorge focuses on training the owners as much as the dog but the very best thing about Jorge is the emphasis he places on helping you and your dog become a strong team through good communication and trust. Jorge has years of experience and unlimited patience and love for all dogs and it shows in every interaction.
