"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. In a way I believe Luis and the training he provides saved Oso's life. Oso doesn't live in fear anymore and is truly happy. I will recommend Emerald City Dog training to anyone and everyone. He even worked with my older husky who has some "quirks". This experience was healing for both me and Oso. Thanks so much!"

"A few months ago, I began fostering a beautiful, smart, sweet-natured, yet untrained, reactive, and prey-driven German Shepherd from Southern California. He was an owner surrender, spending most of his young life outdoors 24/7. He had issues adapting to the indoors, socializing, walking on a leash and would easily jump fences, bark almost uncontrollably at small animals, and anyone riding a bike, skateboard, scooter, and / or motorcycle. The time Luis spent working with him helped tremendously with his most concerning behaviors and improved his comfortability within our family dynamic! One of the best experiences we encountered during training was learning Osito's understanding of commands in both English and Spanish! We have since adopted Osito and owe a great deal of his successful transition to Luis. He truly has the ability to teach any dog new tricks! 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. I am more confident now taking her on walks and public places. Luis is very responsible, punctual and experienced with dogs. He also provides great feedback and advices to succeed with the training at home as well. If you are looking for a trainer, Luis is a great option!"

"Working with Emerald City Dog Training has been an absolute game-changer for me and my dog, Bogart. When we first started, Bogart was struggling with severe anxiety and reactivity, especially around other dogs and unfamiliar environments. I honestly wasn’t sure if we’d ever be able to go on peaceful walks again — but thanks to the thoughtful, expert guidance from Emerald City Dog Training, I feel confident to take him on any adventure with me." If you are looking for a trainer, Luis is a great option!"

"I highly recommend Luis from Emerald City Dog Training! He had to put up with my two rescues and one who is reactive. Luis is patient and has so much knowledge to get your dogs to be the best of the best! One of my rescues is quite high maintenance and Luis knew exactly what to do and how to handle him! Thank you Luis!"
