unTAMED Dog Co.

This review might be a little long-winded. I can’t remember if I left one already before, but if I had, consider this an update. We did the beginner board and train with my 5 month old Great Pyrenees. As I’m sure any dog lover knows, this breed is notoriously independent, and takes commands as suggestions. What I was primarily looking for when contacting Untamed Dog Co was someone to help my dog learn the basics. Crate training 100% would have driven me nuts without the help. Same with potty training; which, grated, we DID still struggle with after the training, but that is solely because my dog is ridiculously stubborn. Because of the foundations set in her time here, it was easily trained out swiftly when she came back home. I understand people have mixed opinions about doggy boarding

Two weeks with Mariano has changed our lives! Our very precocious little Yorkie is so much more calm and cool! She follows commands and is a delight to be with! Untamed is incredible!

Our dog was labeled ‘danger dog’ in our community. Although we knew she was not aggressive, her reactivity left me feeling hopeless. In a last ditch effort we met with Mario to see if there was a chance she could be helped. Fully expecting the 4 week board and train option, Mario advised that she would only need the 10 week training session. Within 2 visits we saw drastic improvement. We are at 8 weeks now and have a completely different dog! She no longer reacts to people or other animals in an aggressive way. She has become curious about them. She auto sits and looks to us when a trigger presents itself. She is still learning but I now have the confidence that I can handle her. My only regret is not finding him sooner.

Mariano is a wonderful trainer and teacher. He has helped me so much with my leash reactive Great Dane. Every session I walk away with more knowledge and the ability to deepen my relationship with my dog. He really focuses on the physiology and how dogs think vs just mindless commands.

My pit mix is fearful and aggressive towards all people. We saw other trainers with no improvement. I found Mariano and even though I only had a short amount of time to work with him before relocating, he completely transformed my relationship with my dog. Now, I am so confident walking him around other people, his recall is nearly perfect and overall his (and my) confidence has significantly improved. My dogs fear and nervousness has also continued to improve using the techniques we were taught. I truly feel he has essentially saved my dogs life and I am eternally grateful for his help. -Gordon, Andrew and Amy
