My boyfriend and I have been working with Medardo for about 9 months now and my dog Kai is a completely different dog since he first met Medardo. This is Kai's 2nd trainer. His first trainer used different training techniques which included the E remote collar and a bark collar. Kai is a very reactive/anxious dog and barks at EVERYTHING! Literally everything. The remote collar nor the bark collar worked for him to make the barking stop… the remote collar was good to have when he is around other dogs at the dog park but thats about it! We have tried everything we knew how to make the barking stop and still no results….Ever since working with Medardo, he has significantly helped reduce Kai's barking. I can now have guest come over without Kai going crazy. He doesn't bark with every single noise he hears outside etc all because we have used the training techniques and tools Medardo has given us to build and establish a strong foundation with Kai and understand his needs. E collars/bark collars do not work for every dog and sometimes it only suppresses the problem instead of tackling it head on. I have no used the collar ever since working with Medardo and I've seen a world of a difference. Its hard work but as long as your consistent you WILL see the results!

We just had our first session with Medardo and are excited for more. He is so insightful and easy to work with. Explains training in easy to understand language that the owner can do on their own. Now have some hope we will survive the puppy days!

Medardo is a great trainer. He trained our 2 dogs of different breeds, sizes and ages. One is 13 y/o and the other is 2 y/o. Now they both get along, play together and walk out without any problems! He is so reliable that also took care of our dogs in our absence in our own house.

Medardo stayed at our house for 10 days while we were in California and took care of our four (very chaotic) dogs. He didn’t just watch them—he spent time working with them and training while we were gone. Our reactive dog in particular is noticeably better, which honestly feels like magic.
He’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly knows what he’s doing. The dogs love him, and we came home to a calm house and happy pups. Would absolutely have him back.
