Ronin Canine

I brought my German Shepherd Thor to Ronin Canine for the boarding and training program, and the experience was truly outstanding from start to finish. As any Shepherd owner knows, this breed is intelligent, driven, and needs proper structure—and that’s exactly what Ronin Canine delivered. I continue his training and boarding as part of his ongoing program. Anthony Cavello the trainer, is an absolute pro. He took the time to understand Thor’s personality, strengths, and areas that needed improvement. Thor came back more focused, obedient, and confident (of course he had more work to do, it doesn’t happen overnight. Anthony has not only trained Thor but me as well – I had to learn the tools to continue his training at home and he has taught me well. Thor has kept his playful spirit but

Anthony is an amazing dog and people trainer. I had previously used another trainer who set my dog back. I was scared and unsure how to handle my rescue Belgian Malinois. I came to Anthony literally in tears. In a short time, he was able to help me build a better relationship with my dog which has changed her behaviors dramatically. Anthony truly has a very special gift with the dogs. He understands them and has such a calming demeanor it calms me down when working with my girl. I highly recommend his training and love that he a local. I look forward to many more training sessions. Thank you, Anthony, for giving me hope with my Mal.

My husband and I adopted a Rottweiler puppy and quickly realized we needed help training her. We contacted a few places but after speaking with Anthony, we decided he was perfect for what we needed. Other trainers wanted us to go with a very expensive package deal and Anthony catered to our needs at a very reasonable rate. Our Rottweiler, Schatzee is now 9 months old and just him!

We exclusively use Anthony at Ronin Pet Services for the boarding and training of our French Bulldog, Winston. Anthony is excellent at communicating with us when Winston is in his care. Our pup always comes home happy and tired and we know that he’s had a great experience. I highly recommend Ronin and Anthony!

We are so happy to have found Anthony with Ronin Canine when searching for trainers local to the mountain (we are in Arrowhead). When we saw he was in Crestline, the variety of services offered, and is also a military veteran, we knew it was a match (my husband is also a veteran). Our Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy, Ziggy, is proving to be a challenging new addition to our home and Anthony has been an incredible help with the training process. He’s is thoughtful, responsive and really great at explaining dog behavior through the eyes of a human. Staffies are notorious body slammers with high energy, and although our puppy loves all of the above, we are noticing his progress. We have done multiple training sessions at home and plan to continue as our puppy grows and learns. He also offers
