Dog Training Does Matter - Private Dog Trainer - Margate, FL

Member since Jan 2018

Dog Trainer and Therapy Dog Handler since 2012 including Therapy Dog activities for the Parkland High School Shooting, the Coconut Creek Police shooting, Surfside Building Collapse, regular visits to schools and city events in the City of Margate and visits to Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. I continue to be involved with Therapy Dog Training and more recently pet and regular Dog Training for Coral Springs, Coconut Creek and Margate area.

Basic Dog and Puppy Training and Therapy Dog Training for the Margate, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Florida area.

I do an initial consultation ($75) and speak first with just the people who interact with the dog. Then when I am done talking to the humans I meet the dog, show you what I was talking about, answer questions and do a first lesson.

Then if you are interested, I will discuss my private training ($500) and group classes ($25 each) in detail.

This can take up to 2 hours.

The group training is free for life if you do the private lessons, so you get free lifetime support.

Let me know when we can schedule the initial consultation...please contact and book my dog training services on Petworks. Thank You. (updated 7/13/2025)
