When I adopted Lui, he was 2 years old, and he's been with me for the past 5 years. Lui is now 7 years old, and although I always knew he had a good heart, he came with a lot of behavioral challenges that I didn't have the knowledge or tools to properly help him.He was extremely overprotective of any space or person he was with. Walks were a struggle because he was stubborn and often refused to go farther than three blocks. He was unpredictable around other dogs and people. Sometimes he would ignore them, and other times he would bark, lunge, or try to jump at them. I couldn't bring him to family gatherings or BBQs because everyone was afraid of how he might react.At home, things weren't much easier. If I crated him when I left, he would bark nonstop, so I usually left him loose in the living room. Anytime someone rang the doorbell or someone came into the house, he would immediately bark uncontrollably and try to bite whoever walked through the door.After working with David, Maria, and their family, Lui has made an incredible transformation. It's been a little over two months since he came home, and the difference has been life changing.One of the biggest goals I had when I adopted Lui was to bring him to work with me, but before his training, that just wasn't possible. Now he comes with me almost every day. He loves his crate at work, stays calmly in his place, and has become a dog I can confidently take with me.He's also become part of our family gatherings without any issues. He's learned to coexist with my family, kids, and even strangers in a calm and controlled way. In the last two months, he's spent more time outside and experienced more of the world than he had during the entire five years he's been with me.Another huge improvement has been his health. Before training, Lui constantly struggled with yeast in his ears and paws. He shed excessively, every bath would leave enough hair to clog the drain and his nose was always dry.When we got him back, the first thing we did was give him a bath, and we were honestly shocked by how little hair came off of him. David changed his diet and gave us guidance on his nutrition and overall care, and the difference has been incredible.His gut health has improved, he no longer constantly scratches, he barely sheds, his ears and paws are as healthy as they've ever been, and his nose has regained its moisture. He's also lost some excess weight, which has made a noticeable difference in his walks. He walks with much more confidence and energy.We're continuing to keep up with everything David taught us, and while Lui is still Lui, a little stubborn and still throws a fit every now and then on walks. I now understand that it's my responsibility to continue guiding him and helping him succeed. He's still spoiled, but now it's with healthy boundaries instead of letting him do whatever he wants.One thing I'm especially grateful for is that David's support didn't end after the training. Even now, if I have questions about Lui's behavior or his health, I can reach out to him and he's always happy to help. It means so much knowing that he genuinely cares about Lui, even after the training was over.The biggest reward isn't just that Lui is better behaved. It's that I finally get to experience life with the dog I always knew he could be. I can take him to work, bring him around family and friends, and include him in moments that I never thought would be possible. Watching him enjoy life with confidence has been the greatest gift.I always believed Lui had it in him, he just needed someone who understood him and could show both of us the right path. David, Maria, and their family didn't just train my dog. They gave Lui a chance to truly enjoy life, and they gave me the opportunity to enjoy life with him. For that, I will always be thankful.

I had a great experience with David. I received daily photos, videos were always being posted on Instagram. You can tell that David and his family truly care about your dog and training them in the past way possible. I cannot recommend them enough!! It’s been about 8-9 months and my dog is still doing absolutely amazing and has kept up with his training.

Reached out to David to help me with my puppy that is 8 weeks especially since she is a pitbull/lab mix. Nylah was very fearful and anxious and had trouble walking out in public with humans. David and his family has been amazing with training Nylah and was very resourceful and always answered my questions. Was scared at first but was proud and happy with my choice. Thank you so much!

David is the best dog and human trainer (IYKYK). Maria and him made us comfortable throughout the process and constantly shared videos IG stories. This made us be a part of the entire journey. I see a huge change in Zuko's behavior and we are so happy for what lies ahead.I would highly recommend Disciplined Dog trainer!!!All the best, guys!

Thank you David and Family for all your hard work with our Gigi! She is calm and obedient and even lost a bit of weight. We are very excited to continue your training and look forward to many cooperative years ahead with our doggie. Be well and continue the good work.

Quiero agradecer profundamente a todo el equipo por el excelente trabajo que hicieron con mis perros. Desde el primer día demostraron profesionalismo, paciencia y un genuino amor por los animales. Los cambios en su comportamiento han sido increíbles y han superado mis expectativas.

Disciplined Dog Trainer was the only dog trainer that called us back after calling 2-3 other trainers to help us with our dog. He was fearful of everything! Birds, little kids, babies, trucks! We also had problem walking with him. After DDT took him in we could see the massive change. Even after they dropped him off with us there’s still work to be done (Consistency is key here!) but Disciplined Dog Trainer started us off right! It was all worth it.

I can’t recommend Disclioned Dog Training enough! David and Maria, along with their family, were absolutely amazing to work with. They were kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable and confident in the process.What really stood out was the type of training they provided. They didn’t just work in controlled environments, they trained in real-life, reactive settings like busy parks, around children, around food, and even at places like the American Dream Mall. That level of exposure made such a difference in building real confidence and obedience.The transformation in my dog has been truly evident. On top of the training, David also shared so much valuable knowledge about overall dog health and nutrition, which made the experience even more impactful. Not only did they help with training, but they also took the time to educate us so we can continue reinforcing everything at home. Excited to do my part and continue this journey.You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs and the families they work with. If you’re looking for people who truly know what they’re doing and get real results, this is it. I’m so grateful for the experience!
