Top Dog Trainer - Dog Handler - Master K9 Training - Orange County, CA

Member since Mar 2026

We represent 35 years of mastery across every canine discipline. As the creators of the Tridimensional Method, we have dedicated our lives to perfecting the art of dog training, helping both dogs and human society through the power of K9 training.
Currently residing and practicing my profession as a Master Instructor in the United States, where I collaborate with the organization “A Bridge To Home Rescue.” Through this entity, I provide assistance to dogs from various rescues, especially those with extreme behaviors that require specialized attention. My method can provide this. In most cases, dogs that other trainers have rejected or failed to resolve behavioral issues are referred to me, making me their last opportunity before considering euthanasia.

Education

Over the years, I have collaborated with various companies specializing in canine training, dog clubs, and animal rescues, contributing my experience and knowledge to the development of training, rehabilitation, and animal welfare programs. My work in Southern California has strengthened my reputation as a behavioral rehabilitation specialist, contributing to the successful reintegration of dogs with behavioral problems. Throughout my career, I have maintained an ethical and effective approach, promoting continuous improvement in the quality of life for dogs and the training of professionals in the field, with an emphasis on responsible practices based on empirical evidence. Launched the human instruction program based on the Cecchi Tridimensional method, through seminars and courses for a range of individuals, from simple dog guardians who wish to learn and train their dogs themselves, to shelter volunteers seeking to improve their skills in helping the dogs under their influence, up to the training of more and better professional dog trainers. (Year 2026). Accepted to become a member of the APDT (Association for Professional Dog Training International). (2025) Invented and patented in the US Patent Office the SES (Smart Ear Solution), a device aimed at assisting advanced canine operations, improving the quality of life for dogs with issues related to extreme noise, as well as applying stimulation-based therapies to traumatized and/or reactive dogs. (2023). Successfully passed the exam and, due to my trajectory, was certified as an Evaluator by the American Kennel Club for Canine Good Citizen exams (Year 2020). Due to my experience, I am accepted as a professional member of the International Association of Canine Professionals in the USA (Year 2020). While living and working in the USA, I travel to Argentina to meet with staff from the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Córdoba. I designed the first course for canine education promoters within PIIA (Animal-Assisted Interventions Program) at the National University of Córdoba. Conducted online classes from the USA for the University of Córdoba on the Cecchi Tridimensional method focused on assistance dogs (2019). This initiative received a government recognition from the Provincial Chamber of Deputies of Córdoba for my contribution to the community. While in Argentina, at the request of Falco K9 Academy, the US government granted me a work visa 01 for extraordinary abilities (Year 2017). I traveled to the USA to work at Falco K9 Academy for two years, then renewed the visa at the request of Falco K9 OC (a franchise of the previous), and again renewed it to work at Rowdy Hound, a company dedicated to canine training and manufacturing dog transport boxes for Harley Davidson motorcycles, with which I traveled across the USA. Finally, I renewed the visa through the shelter I am currently working with. As a result of the Delta Program, I created Prisu K9 (Regional Interaction and Support Program for K9 Units), promoting the creation of a network based on the idea that if different participating groups adopted a common methodology such as the Cecchi method for rescue dog training, their interaction and support would significantly boost search and rescue operations. This approach addressed the problem of working with isolated teams that did not know each other or worked out of sync. The program brought everyone together, enabling them to work under a standardized pattern. During this process, hundreds of dogs, handlers, trainers, and instructors were trained. The success was such that the program led to the creation of the Rescue Dogs Area of the Córdoba Volunteer Firefighters (Argentina). This successful model has saved many lost people and recovered human remains and has been replicated by other organizations across the continent. Due to my leadership and collaboration, I received the designation of General Instructor (ad honorem) of the K9 Area of the Córdoba Volunteer Firefighters Federation (Year 2013). Founded, along with graduates of my canine trainer academy, the non-profit organization Cynotecnic (K9) Cordobés Club, to give legal framework to the Delta program and promote canine sports for improving the quality of life of all involved. My role was strategic leadership and advice, acting as the mind and guide without holding administrative or paid positions (Year 2016). Upon returning to Argentina, I founded Coliseo Canine, a center dedicated mainly to human training, where numerous courses and seminars on canine training in all areas were held (Year 2015). I was again invited by Falco K9 Academy in the USA to collaborate on a project for training explosive detection dogs, aiming to improve the speed and effectiveness of existing training systems. These advances are now applied in other civil and police training areas (Year 2015). I co-authored my first book: “The Perfect Dog Training Method – The Cecchi Method of Balancing, Love, Respect & Energy.” Created the Delta program, based on the application of the Cecchi Tridimensional method for selecting and training dogs (Year 2012).
