Hi, I’m a dog trainer in the Marbella area and the Costa del Sol. I have studied under Cesar Millan and attended other dog training seminars held by some of the best trainers in the USA. Brian Agnew of Lucas Agnew workshops, Jeff Gellman of Solid K9 Training, and Sean O’ shea of The Good Dog.
I go by the Title of dog trainer but as any of my clients will tell you, I certainly put most of my focus on training you the human. I offer In-home consultations and training programs as well as group classes for dogs and puppies and training pack walks.
In my experience, people need help in communicating with other species. It seems that with our modern lives we have forgotten how to work with mother nature. This is where I can help. dogs are simple, humans are complicated. I like to get to the root of the problem and bring it to the surface to truly fix dogs issues and more importantly, teach people how to maintain their dog’s balanced state.
Whether we are teaching our dogs to sit, down, recall, place, heel, fetch or just be calm at home its important the human understands how their energy and body Language affects their dog’s behavior. This is why I put a massive amount of emphasis on training dog owners into becoming handlers.
Most of the time people call me because they are experiencing issues with their dogs. I love working with all dogs. Dogs and puppies, issues or no issues I’m all about honoring the dog so we can bring the best out in them.
If you are experiencing any of the following with your dog, I can help:
- Dog reactivity
- Leash or lead pulling
- Human aggression
- Dog aggression
- Not coming back when called
- Unable to relax at home or on a walk
- Leash bitting
- Rushing thresholds
- Won’t sit still
- Anxiety
- Extreme flight or fight
- Not socialized
- Not good around dogs
- Doesn’t like the muzzle
- Dogs fighting at home
- Counter surfing
- Extremely dominant behavior
- Food aggression
- Lunging
No matter what the issue is I can help and I have plenty of videos on my facebook page, youtube channel and Instagram showing my work. I might even ask you if I can film your dog for a video if we have the pleasure of working together. I like to post lots of free content every day to help struggling owners with their dogs whether they are here or in another country.
I think one of the most important things in dog training is that it actually works! When I started my group classes and training pack walks at the beginning of this year, pretty much every dog was reactive or aggressive or had other issues. Now every one of those dogs is better! all coming to group class enjoying the time out with their dogs without the same stresses as before. These classes and walks are a great opportunity for you to train and socialize your dog in a real life situation and meet like-minded people.
In my group classes, we work on obedience building confidence. Your dog learns all the basics which can be especially useful in real life situations. In my training pack walks we but our training to the test in busy real-life environments like the Sanpedro boulevard, Puerto Banus or just the campo in Estepona.
Puppies and beginner dog handlers are welcome to join on Thursday’s class as long as your puppy is ready to go outside and go around other dogs.
If you and your dog are not yet suitable for classes or if it’s just not necessary for you I offer home consultations and training programs.
These programs consist of 4 sessions over the course of 4 weeks ( 1 session a week) or 5 sessions in 5 consecutive days. Read my testimonials on my website to see what my clients think!
