Source of Inspiration

Carlos was inspired by his early interactions with dogs and the observation that many dog owners struggled with basic training. He saw how building a strong bond of respect between a dog and its owner could dramatically improve their relationship. Witnessing the joy that comes from a dog-owner connection, along with his desire to help others achieve that bond, fueled his passion for dog training.

Professional Experience

Carlos has a diverse background that spans from nutritional research and conditioning to breeding working dogs and advanced dog training. His expertise includes obedience training, protection work, and behavior management. With a military background, Carlos brings a unique blend of command presence, empathy, and versatility to his training. He believes in the importance of continued education, researching areas like environmental effects, genetics, and updated training methodologies. His goal is to provide his clients with valuable knowledge they can apply in their homes and pass on to others.

Unleashing Expertise

Carlos has experience working with all breeds and age groups, and while he enjoys all levels of training, his main interest lies in Behavior Modification and Rehabilitation. This type of training addresses the root causes of unwanted behaviors, which are often mistaken for simple obedience issues. Carlos finds great fulfillment in understanding a dog's behavior, working through its concerns, and helping the dog regain confidence and security. He loves the challenge of rehabilitating dogs and returning them to their owners with improved manageability.

Future Forecast

In the next five years, Carlos plans to expand his facility to include larger indoor and outdoor housing, kennels, and training fields. He envisions hosting events and offering rental opportunities for other trainers who lack the space to work with dogs. He also hopes to establish a non-profit division focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs, with a particular interest in working breeds. Carlos wants to give these dogs, often relinquished due to their challenging nature, a second chance at life with a forever family through proper training and care.
