Got Canine Training

I cannot recommend Leo and Got Canine Training enough! He is a highly compassionate, insightful and strategic trainer. The word tainer does not even seem like a suitable term for what he was able to accomplish with our dogs! The approach he takes to transforming dogs that are seemingly stuck in a habitual stress response, due to traumas, triggers, and/or anxieties they are navigating is simply inspiring and clearly a calling of his. We have two rescue dogs that we adopted four years ago, and were around age 6 when Leo worked with them. We did some initial training with our dogs when we first adopted them, which helped them adapt to life with us, but still had behavioral challenges that persisted, such as reactivity in the form of barking, aggression to pedestrians and other dogs. It made

Finding Leo at Got K9 Training was a game-changer for us and our standard poodle, Onyx. After struggling with previous trainers, Onyx underwent a remarkable two-week transformation during his board and train at Got K9 Training. He lost weight and became noticeably more energetic. Leo taught Onyx to heel alongside a bicycle. He also taught him to listen to commands while playing at the park. By teaching Onyx to focus on his commands, Leo was able to increase Onyx’s exercise. This significantly improved Onyx's quality of life! Beyond the training, Leo's care for Onyx was awesome. When we picked Onyx up, we could see that he was happy and truly fond of Leo! Onyx has Addison's disease. Leo managed Onyx's diet and medication as if he were his own dog. We now feel comfortable leaving Ony

It was really hard to find someone that I could trust leaving my 2 babies with. The day I met Leo he made us feel comfortable and knew at that moment our babies were going to be in great hands. He was very professional. I have 2 stubborn frenchies. They both kept fighting during meal times and bed time. Leo took both in for a 3 week training course and it was the best decision I could have made. I can feed them about 5feet apart with no fighting, and if there is a fight we are able to control them. No fights during bedtime. I am able to walk both on a leash with no pulling. My dogs were in good care. Definitely recommend!

We left our German Shepherd Louie with Leo for training and the results were beyond my expectations. Louie returned as the best dog I've ever owned. He's now incredibly sociable with both people and other dogs, even if another dog is aggressive he remains completely neutral. One of my favorite things that came from his training was his off-leash training. I can confidently let him roam free, knowing he'll return to my side with just one command. The confidence and control this gave me is unbelievable, something I've never experienced until now. We even took him to go see Christmas Lights last year and he was a hit, especially with the kids! He was incredibly gentle with a little girl who had a fear of dogs and absolutely made her night. Having grown up with German Shepherds all my life, I'

Leo was great and was very helpful with our golden retriever, Ruby, who is 1 1/2. She had a little training prior to working with Leo, however she needed a little more, as did we, to help her be a great dog. Leo was able to help her and us achieve that goal. We were very pleased!
