Introduction

Welcome to Armando Dog Training! Proudly servicing Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Manatee, South Hernando and North Sarasota counties. I am a professional member of IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) with 13 years of experience in Behavior Modification, Basic Obedience, Advance Obedience, and Puppy Training. My goal is to teach your dog commands and to train you how to handle your dog. I feature a results based training program and do not charge by number of sessions but by goals. Your program will end when you are able to handle your dog properly and the connection between you and your best friend makes you feel proud about yourself and your dog. We solve issues such as: Not coming when called Pulling on the leash Jumping on people Nipping Growling Aggression towards humans or other dogs Excessive barking and more...

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Our prices are based on an initial assessment of your dog. Our training programs are tailored based on your goals as a customer and the initial assessment. All dogs are different and all clients also have different expectations.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Our process start with a free phone consultation session where I am going to find out as much as I can about your dog, the environment where he lives and your goals as a dog owner. After that 1st phone consultation session I will offer you the options I believe will be the best for you and your dog.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am member of the International Association of Canine Professionals who has been trained by recognized Dog Trainers in the USA and Canada. My main mentor is Duke Ferguson, one of the most famous dog trainers in the world. I have been applying Duke's philosophy and training techniques with great success.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I work with different types of customers, from young people who are getting a puppy for the first time in their life, to people who have rescued a dog and then have realized that the dog has very serious behavior issues. I also work with dog rescue organizations to help them rehabilitate dogs so they can be re-homed.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

My best advice is to request an initial evaluation session so you can see by yourself how is the communication between your dog and your prospective trainer. See the technique the trainer is going to use on your dog and be sure that you as an owner are also going to be part of the training program and you feel comfortable with it. Also ask what kind of guarantee the trainer provides for your satisfaction,
