🎓 Lead Trainer
Virgilio
With 17 years of experience and hundreds of dogs trained, my approach is built on the belief that lasting behavioral change comes from educating the owner, not just the dog. I specialize in understanding canine psychology and translating that knowledge into practical techniques you can use every day.
We go where the dog needs to train. Whether it's your home, a park, or a crowded area, we train in the real-world environment that produces lasting results. My mission is to empower you with the skills to communicate effectively with your dog and build a relationship based on trust, respect, and balance.
How It Works
Important Evaluation Details
What you need to know before your session.
The evaluation takes place outdoors in a neutral zone such as a park or open green area. Please arrive with your dog on a leash, and feel free to bring a few treats.
If you're bringing multiple dogs, another person must accompany you to hold those waiting their turn.
For puppies under 4 months old who haven't completed their vaccinations, the evaluation is done at home instead.
Evaluation Results

After the assessment, you receive a professional report with your dog's scores across three key areas:

What Our Trainers Say
Real stories from dog owners we've trained.
Being my dog's trainer is unmatched. He responds so much better and it helps you recognize those moments to prevent future situations.
I have the confidence to go anywhere with my dog and I know he'll behave excellently, that he'll listen to me, that he won't cause disasters, and if there's danger I can steer him away. That's one of the most important things for me.
When we decided to adopt, we prepared to welcome Dona into our lives without fully imagining the challenges. But once we started training, it significantly changed the course of our relationship.
Training a dog means committing to something constant and incredibly stimulating as a guide. It's an activity that gives you patience, self-control, calm, and balance.
Luna, my first dog, was the one who sparked my desire to become a trainer. Today I'm proud to have trained myself and gained the tools I need to train my other companion, Belle.
If you don't know how to communicate with your dog or don't know what he needs... you'll never have a calm dog that lives without anxiety or fear.
She discovered a differentiating experience through the BDC method, which seeks to turn every dog owner into a trained coach for their pet.
Investing time in training your pet is essential to maximize their learning process. The reward is double: you improve your pet's behavior and get the satisfaction of being part of those improvements.
She found in training the perfect activity to share time with her pet, and it has become one of the most invaluable experiences she has the joy of enjoying.
