Customer Reviews
Angel is beyond amazing!! She turned our crazy 9 month lab/pit mix into a gentle loving dog. My boyfriend and I could not control Mia because she was always hyper and also HAD food aggression. Angel first started coming to the house when Mia was between 4-5 months old for 1 hour sessions for basic training. Mia was constantly biting because of the teething phase she was going through and the helpful tips that Angel gave us were more than enough to count on my hands. After every visit she would text us to check on how Mia is doing (she really cares!). Later into the training we then focused on Mia's food aggression which turned out to be way more than we could handle at home. We did the board and train for a month. Mia came back a brand new dog. Angel worked very hard this month, focusing on Mia's food aggression (we can practically eat out of the bowl with her now because the issue is resolved), her extra hyper activity, taking her on a number of public outings so she could meet people (she is very shy of new people). Before the board and train we could never just sit down on the couch and watch TV without Mia biting us or jumping all over the couch, etc. and now she just lays there like a calm dog. The board and train was over a month ago and Angel still checks on Mia and her progress. I cannot thank Angel enough for what she's done with Mia. - St. Petersburg, FL
- Rebecca MThere aren't enough good things I could say about Angel and her work with our Baylee girl. Still in her "puppy" stage, Baylee came with a lot of energy, excitement, and curiosity. Angel was able to use all of that in a constructive way to help Baylee learn some boundaries. Thankfully Angel was very open with communication and sent updates frequently which was a big ease on our minds because we felt we could trust Angel, even not knowing a whole lot about her beforehand. We picked up our Vizsla yesterday and there is a huge difference in discipline. Obviously the first week back with us will be the most challenging, but if we do our part, there's no doubt in my mind that these new "tricks" will stick for good. We highly recommend Angel as a loving and hard working dog trainer. - Clearwater, FL

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Angel Ravida, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
