★★★★★“I adopted a reactive dog 2 months ago, out of the goodness in Luis’ heart he offered to help. My malamute mix Oso had a very hard start in life and developed reactivity. He wouldn’t even let me touch him. Despite Oso’s issues Luis did not give up on him. Luis’ hard work molded Oso into a functional thriving dog who was just misunderstood. Oso doesn’t live in fear anymore and is truly happy. I will recommend Emerald City Dog training to anyone and everyone.”

★★★★★“A few months ago, I began fostering a beautiful, smart, sweet-natured, yet untrained, reactive, and prey-driven German Shepherd. The time Luis spent working with him helped tremendously with his most concerning behaviors and improved his comfortability within our family dynamic! We have since adopted Osito and owe a great deal of his successful transition to Luis. I highly recommend Emerald City Dog Training for anyone who works with shelter dogs and for those who consider rescue, foster, and adoption!”

★★★★★“We highly recommend Luis for dog training, especially obedience training. We did the puppy obedience program and my dog made tremendous improvement in following commands, being more calm and focused. Also our walks improved as she is no longer pulling. Luis is very responsible, punctual and experienced with dogs.”
— Tatiana

After several training session, our Dog change dramatically. She really doing very well with obedience and not reacting to other dogs. Right now I have to have this dog in my house and I have a cocker spaniel who actually doesn’t like other dogs too. Luis taught us how to do with this issue. I am truly recommend him as a trainer. He is wonderful person very knowledgeable and a very patient. He thought our dog a lot and he taught us a lot too.”
