This review is long overdue! I cannot say enough good things about Javier and his entire team. They are incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and genuinely caring trainers. They did a phenomenal job with Nieve, my high-energy Samoyed/Pit mix rescue. I finally have the skills and confidence I need to manage her…

I signed up my strong-willed pup for the 3-week boot camp, not knowing what to expect—but Proactive Dog Training exceeded my expectations at every turn! I love how they train both in practical outdoor spaces and at home. I already had a trip planned, so the extended board-and-train option was a perfect fit. When I…

Can’t say enough great things about the Proactive Dog training team. They have worked wonders with our baby girl Smith. I love the daily videos and most importantly I love that I feel completely confident that she is being treated with the utmost of care!!
