Dog Training Results Miami | Real Client Case Studies

Zeus

German Shepherd · 3 Years · Brickell, Miami

Board & Train — 4 Weeks Brickell + 2 Follow-Up Sessions

Before

Zeus lunged at every dog on The Underline. Threshold was 40+ feet — owner had to cross the street at the first sight of another dog. Couldn't enter the elevator if a neighbor's dog was in the lobby. Had made contact in two on-leash incidents. Owner had begun exploring rehoming options.

After

Zeus walks The Underline without reacting. Passes other dogs at 3 feet. Shares the elevator. Off-leash reliable in fenced areas. He still has his preferences about other dogs — that's honest — but he responds to commands, holds his position, and doesn't react. His owner can live a full Miami life with him.

"I was three days from putting him up for adoption. André took him for 4 weeks and I got a different dog back. A dog I can actually live with in this city."

Bella

French Bulldog · 2 Years · Coral Gables

Private Sessions — 6 Sessions Coral Gables 5 Weeks

Before

Bella pulled so hard on leash she'd gag herself through her harness. Jumped on every guest — knocked over the owner's 70-year-old mother during a family visit. Resource guarded her food bowl with growling directed at her owner. Separation barking had triggered two formal complaints from neighbors.

After

Loose-leash walking on Alhambra Circle with no corrections needed. Sits automatically at the door when guests arrive — jumping is completely gone. Eats calmly with her owner present. Separation barking was resolved through a structured crate conditioning protocol. Her mom can visit again.

"Six sessions. I could not believe the difference. The jumping alone was worth every penny — my mom can actually visit now."

Duke

Pitbull Mix · 4 Years · Doral · Rescue

Board & Train — 6 Weeks Doral Rescue · Shelter 14 Months

Before

Duke was pulled from a shelter where he'd spent 14 months. Shelter notes: "dog aggressive, not suitable for families with pets." He had lunged through a chain-link fence and made contact with a neighbor's Chihuahua. He was on an active bite hold. Two rescues had returned him.

After

Duke completed 6 weeks of structured training. He now lives with a family in Doral, passes dogs on neighborhood walks, and attends group obedience classes. He's not a dog park dog — he never will be, and we were honest about that. But he's a safe, stable, deeply loved family dog who can exist in the world.

"We were told he was unadoptable. He's sleeping at the foot of my daughter's bed right now."

Luna

Labrador Retriever · 1 Year · Weston

Puppy Jumpstart + Private Sessions Weston Started at 10 Weeks

Before

Luna was pulling a 9-year-old child down the street on the first week home. She'd eaten a sock and a corn cob — two emergency vet visits in three months. Jumped on everyone who entered the house. No reliable recall. Counter-surfed constantly and had destroyed two remotes, a phone charger, and a pair of glasses.

After

Loose-leash walking on Weston paths. Reliable "leave it" — no vet bills for swallowed objects since training began. Solid recall in the backyard. Jumps on no one. She's still a Lab — still high energy — but manageable high energy. Both kids in the family can walk her alone.

"She's still a Lab. She still has that Lab energy. But now she actually listens. My kids can walk her. That changes everything."

Rocky

Rottweiler · 5 Years · Miami Beach

Board & Train — 8 Weeks · Aggression Rehab Miami Beach Monthly Alumni Check-Ins Ongoing

Before

Rocky had bitten two people. His owner — a single woman, 5'2" — could not physically control him during lunging episodes. He had redirected onto her twice. After the second bite incident, her veterinarian recommended euthanasia. She refused and spent three weeks calling trainers before finding us. Most didn't call back. A few said no. One said yes.

After

Rocky completed 8 weeks. He lives at home under a structured management protocol — muzzle trained, e-collar conditioned, reliable on all foundational commands. Zero incidents in 8 months since program completion. His owner attends monthly check-in sessions. He is managed, not cured — and that distinction was communicated clearly from day one.

"Every trainer I called either turned us away or told me to put him down. André was honest with me — he said this is manageable, not curable, but manageable. He was right. Rocky is alive and we're doing well."

Mochi

Golden Retriever · 8 Months · Aventura

Private Sessions — 4 Sessions Aventura 3 Weeks · Adolescent Regression

Before

Mochi had been a textbook puppy — commands were solid, leash was good. Then at 7 months, she fell apart. Stopped responding to commands she'd known for months, started pulling again, began jumping on strangers, developed separation anxiety seemingly overnight. Her owner was convinced she had done something irreparably wrong.

After

Adolescent regression is normal. The owner needed to understand it — not just have us fix it. Within two sessions, Mochi's commands were back with added structure. Jumping resolved. A separation protocol was implemented. The owner now understands what adolescence looks like in dogs and how to lead through it.

"I thought I'd done everything wrong. André explained in 5 minutes what was happening and why. The training helped but honestly the education was what I needed most."

Koda

Husky Mix · 3 Years · Fort Lauderdale

Virtual Training — 8 Sessions Fort Lauderdale 6 Weeks · Remote

Before

Koda's owner relocated from New York. He'd been trained well there — solid recall, good leash manners. But the Florida environment reset everything: heat, new scents, new dogs, different terrain. Recall vanished. He'd started pulling toward the canals on walks. She couldn't find a trainer she trusted locally and was skeptical about virtual coaching.

After

8 virtual sessions rebuilt his recall foundation for the Florida environment, including heat-adapted exercise pacing and environment-proofed obedience. Leash manners fully restored. His owner has the framework to maintain everything herself — and she's doing it. Distance coaching works when the owner works.

"I was skeptical about virtual training. Completely skeptical. But we did 8 sessions over video and I have my dog back. It works."

Diesel

Belgian Malinois · 2 Years · Pinecrest

Board & Train — 6 Weeks Pinecrest + 4 Owner Education Sessions

Before

A family with no working-breed experience purchased Diesel because they wanted a "protective dog." He'd destroyed three sofas, two fence sections, and bit the mail carrier. He'd redirected onto the kids twice during excitement. The children were afraid of their own dog. The family felt completely in over their heads — because they were.

After

Diesel completed 6 weeks of drive management, structured obedience, and impulse control. He now has a job: daily work sessions and sport obedience with his owner. The family was educated on what a working breed actually requires — not just trained through. He's redirected, not suppressed. The difference matters long-term.

"We made a mistake buying a Malinois without understanding the breed. André fixed our mistake. He also educated us enough to actually deserve the dog we bought."
