The Human Dog Team

Feb 2024

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible services provided by The Human Dog Team. Our dog was struggling with aggressive behavior, resource guarding, difficulty eating, and conflicts with our cats. Cleaning her ears or giving her medicine was nearly impossible. After trying another dog trainer and multiple "online solutions" and techniques, we found Gonzalo. From the very first session, it was evident that Gonzalo has a great understanding of animal behavior and that each dog requires a specific approach. By teaching us how to properly feed, walk, and adjust the rewards, we noticed changes in the very first week. Over time, the issues started to fade away; suddenly, we didn't have a dog that refused treats or needed "toppings" to eat dinner. She is now friends with our cat, the walks are smooth, and the hikes are amazing. The training sessions were not just about obedience; they were about building a strong bond between us and our furry friend, teaching us how to communicate and understand our girl. Gonzalo provided practical tips, valuable insights, and ongoing support that made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We can finally have peace at home, and we owe it all to The Human Dog Team. If you're looking for a dog trainer who goes above and beyond, Gonzalo is the one to choose. His expertise, dedication, and genuine love for dogs make him a standout professional in the field.

If you need a dog trainer – call Gonzalo! He helped me and my dog peanut through so much and also is such a good and friendly soul. Gonzalo has worked with us through so many issues including aggression on leash, extreme insecurity, growling at strangers and separation anxiety. We also worked a lot on peanut's independence. He helped me to bond with my rescue puppy and to finally understand my dog. I started to train Peanut with Gonzalo just two weeks after I got him – and I still can't believe how far we've come. He helps you to really understand your dog's needs and problems – and how to solve them. During Peanut's training I always felt that Gonzalo is extremely caring about the well-being of the dog and the owner. Gonzalo not only knows what he is talking about professionally, but he is also wonderful as a human being. The human dog team gives you all the tools to build a relationship. Also you can always count on a text or call back – no matter when and what.

I would highly recommend Gonzalo for any of your training needs, big or small. You will be impressed! I contacted Gonzalo for help with a specific issue - My dog Paco would get easily distracted and constantly try and eat everything off the ground (poop, dirt, mulch, etc.). We completed 4 training sessions with Gonzalo. I knew Paco's issues wouldn't be solved overnight, but I didn't expect to see as much improvement as I did, so quickly. Paco has become overall so much more focused and attentive. He will completely ignore the plants that he would previously always try to eat on our daily walks. We are able to play fetch for longer periods now without him getting distracted and wandering off to try and eat something. Thank you Gonzalo!
