Santiago Dog Training

We are so happy with our dog training sessions. Joel was so good with our pup Lily. She is so high energy we did not know how she would do. He was very educated and tailored his services to fit our sweet pups needs. I would highly recommend him. We are very pleased with all of the training he taught her. Our evening walks are so much more peaceful. ha!

During a two-week vacation, we decided to put our two-year old boxer through Joel's board and train program. Joel took the time to come to our home and meet Willow prior to boarding. He is very knowledgeable and we immediately felt our dog was going to be in excellent hands. Throughout our vacation Joel sent photos updating us on her progress. When we got back, the change in our dog was clear. She is as eager to please as ever, but much more attentive and confident. Joel spent an hour with us every week for a month after we got back to make sure that we knew her newly learned commands and to help us practice the commands and remain consistent so she can continue to learn and grow. Joel is a positive person and it is reflected in his training methods. Our dog loves Joel and so do we. I would recommend him to anyone!

Joel is amazingly talented and a very patient, sweet soul. I didn't even know our dog could have greater confidence until she returned after a two week board-and-train and was even more interested in all her toys, wanting to engage with us all the time. She was a great dog before training so I was hesitant on investing in the full board-and-train but it was SO worth it! Joel customized her learning plan. Every time we met with him afterwards he showed us more lessons so that we could adopt his training style in bite-size pieces, and each week I was amazed at how much he was able to teach her in only a two week time-frame. Joel really goes above and beyond. In addition to the agreed upon lessons, he corrected the amount of food we needed to be feeding her, showed us more appropriate toys, got her a special food bowl, and even bought her some "snout balm" for her overly dry nose that we hadn't recognized as something wrong. He cared for her as if she was his own. All in all, Joel provided a service well beyond my expectations and really helped to grow my relationship with my second boxer baby more than imagined.

Joel is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to understand and address the unique needs of each dog/breed and the owner(s) he works with. Can’t say enough good things about Joel and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a well trained dog.
