Customer Reviews

Amazing experience! Worked with Leidy for 16 sessions, three times a week. My 4 year old mini poodle Lola had many behavioral issues and we learned how to manage her triggers and help her be more calm! Lola is now able to interact with my two other dogs and no fights have broken out :) thank you Leidy!

In just 10 sessions, Leby has been able to drastically reduce my dog's reactivity and leash pulling! I used two other trainers for months before finding Rocco's Pack and no other program has had results like this. Leby is so patient and knowledgeable, coming to each session prepared with a plan and tips that are easy for me to implement at home. On top of that, she has great energy and such a positive attitude! We will definitely continue working with Rocco’s Pack!

- Sydni B

Leby is the best dog trainer in town. She has helped me with all of my dogs with great success! If you need a trainer look no further than Rocco’s- you can’t go wrong. Fixing behavior issues and getting a well mannered dog is her specialty. We love Rocco’s Pack and you will, too!

- Debra K

Trained my baby goldendoodle for 3 months 3x -4x weekly and had a fantastic experience. Truly I was the one being trained! I learned how to communicate with my giant pup and to remediate unwanted behaviors in loving and respectful way. Thank you!!

- Robin S

Leby was so knowledgeable and patient with my reactive dog and my anxious self! My dog and I have a long journey ahead of us but Leby helped us create a great foundation of skills, trust, and confidence. I have already noticed such a big difference in the few short weeks we worked together. I would highly recommend Rocco's Pack and will definitely be returning!

Dog trainers like Leby Gonzalez help dogs develop good manners, learn practical skills, and become more confident in everyday situations. Whether you're working on leash pulling, jumping, recall, obedience, or household manners, Leby can tailor training guidance to your dog's personality, experience, and learning style.


❤️ Great Dog Training Builds Communication, Confidence, and Connection


Effective dog training involves more than teaching commands. A professional dog trainer works with both you and your dog, helping you understand how dogs learn, communicate clearly, and establish consistent routines. With guidance from Leby, you can develop training habits that fit your household and help your dog navigate everyday life at home and in public.


Dog Training Services and Skills


Dog trainers offer different programs and areas of specialization depending on their experience and training methods. Common training goals include:


Basic Obedience:
Teaching practical cues such as sit, stay, come, down, and leave it, while building attention and responsiveness.


Leash Training and Loose-Leash Walking:
Helping dogs learn to walk more comfortably with their people, respond to leash cues, and develop better walking habits.


Recall and Focus:
Building reliable responses to cues and helping dogs pay attention around everyday distractions.


Household Manners:
Working on behaviors such as jumping on people, excessive barking, counter surfing, door manners, and settling at home.


Socialization and Confidence:
Helping dogs become more comfortable with unfamiliar environments, people, sounds, and everyday experiences through appropriate, gradual training.


Rescue and Newly Adopted Dog Training:
Helping dogs adjust to a new household, establish routines, and learn the skills needed for family life.


Training for Fear and Reactivity:
Some dog trainers have experience helping dogs that bark, lunge, or become uncomfortable around other dogs, people, or unfamiliar situations. Ask about a trainer's specific experience and approach, particularly when safety is a concern.


Dog trainers may use positive reinforcement, reward-based methods, clicker training, or other approaches suited to their professional experience. Review each profile to understand the trainer's methods, qualifications, and available services. For severe or complex behavioral concerns, a veterinarian or qualified animal behavior professional may also be an important part of your dog's care.


Dog Training for Different Ages and Experience Levels


Dog training can benefit dogs at many stages of life. Some trainers work with young dogs learning household routines and basic skills, while others specialize in adult dogs, rescue dogs, or dogs that need help developing specific behaviors. The services listed on Leby's profile will help you determine whether their experience matches your dog's age, background, and training goals. For dedicated early puppy development and foundational training, explore professionals in our Puppy Trainer category.


How to Choose a Dog Trainer


A good fit depends on more than location. Before booking, consider the trainer's experience, professional certifications, training philosophy, and familiarity with your dog's specific needs. Ask how sessions are structured, whether you will participate in the training, and what guidance is provided between appointments.


Professional credentials can help you understand a trainer's education and experience, but certifications and qualifications vary. Review the credentials displayed on each PetWorks profile and ask the professional about their training methods and areas of specialization.

What age can a dog start training?
Dogs can learn at different ages and stages of life. Some trainers work with young dogs learning basic skills, while others specialize in adult dogs, rescue dogs, or specific training challenges. Check each professional's profile for the ages and experience levels they serve.


Can a dog trainer help with leash pulling, jumping, and barking?

Can dog training help with fear or reactivity?
Some trainers have experience helping dogs develop better responses to triggers and challenging everyday situations. Ask about the professional's experience with your dog's specific behavior. Serious aggression, significant fear, or complex behavioral concerns may require veterinary guidance or an animal behavior specialist.


Do dog trainers offer in-home sessions in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida?
