Marley and Me and Finn
 "We adopted Marley in February of 2008. She was a Retriever/Hound mix and she was perfect - playful, obedient, and loving. Later, we found out that one of her brothers, Finn, was returned to the shelter in September of the same year. We felt that Marley was getting a little bored and lonely being left at home after spending 6 months coming to work with me everyday. So we decided to adopt Finn. He was a much different dog – he was also very loving - but incredibly mischievous. When the two of them were put together, trouble ensued.
We lost control of our house and it took a few months before we finally realized that there was a major problem. Pillows, dog beds, clothes, shoes, you name it - they figured out how to either destroy it inside or get it out through their doggie door, and destroy it out there.
I got in touch with Canine Dimensions and within hours of our visit we were already on the road to being in control again. They not only helped me regain control of the house, but helped me walk the 2 of them together by myself (which was quite the task prior to the visit). Two big dogs that used to pull on the leash are now a pleasure to walk.
Looking back, we were at a point where we felt we had made a terrible mistake bringing Finn home. But now, we can't imagine why anyone would ever give up on such a great dog."

Jingles
 I want to Thank You tremendously for the training you did with Jingles. He is fantastic and your methods and rapport with him was excellent. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I would be happy to recommend you to anyone who needs dog training!!!
We have been working with him everyday but I cannot really call it work as he makes it quite enjoyable. The walking is such a pleasure....to have him heel and be focused on me is so much easier and calming for Michael and myself.
I’ll keep in touch and for sure, and when we add any dogs to the mix you will be the one I call.
Regards,
Thea |

Bubba
 Hey Steve, thanks for checking in on us. Bubba's doing great. I can't believe he's so reliable with his commands now. We had my sister over yesterday and were showing him off. Before the training I couldn't even get him to sit with any consistency.
Thanks again!

Brock and Calvin
 "Thank you for all of your help with our boys. We maintain the rules and boundaries you set forth in your training with them and have not had any more fighting between them. As you can see, they are co-existing peacefully. Thanks again."

Theo
 "Just a short note to say "thank you" and to let you know Theo is doing great. Since the day you left here on Dec. 7 he has not had a "#1" accident in the house! I would not have believed it could be that easy to correct his behavior based on the bad habits we had adopted! He caught on to the new regime like a champ and the whole family got on board with the training….I have clean floors again and an odor free house - thank you! Attached are a few pics of Theo. Note the one outside - even in 2 feet of snow!!"

Tito
 "I just wanted to update you on our "sweet" dog, Tito, formerly known as "Hellboy". As you know, his main problem was excessive barking. A while after you left, he went crazy barking at a squirrel outside the front window. I tried the "enough" exercise that you showed us - the second time did the trick. He has been a model dog since! He will initially bark at something (which is acceptable), but stops right away when I tell him "enough." I can't believe we suffered so long with this crazed dog. Thanks for all your good advice!"

Lexington
Hi Jason,
I just wanted to take a moment to write a note of thanks to you. Our dog Lexington (a Rottweiler/Shepherd Mix) was wild in the streets of Miami when he was taken to a Rescue Ranch just before we adopted him. He was so hyper and overbearing at 100 plus pounds that he was hard to control. He would overpower my wife whenever I was not around. It seemed that sadly we would have to give him up. As a last ditch attempt in desperation we called you. For sure you are amazing. In just a few lessons he has learned to obey my wife and is under control. We are a happy family now and I thank you for that. Taking him to "group training sessions" was useless. It was you and your method that did the trick. We are eternally grateful.
Thanks,
Geoffrey |

Sawyer
We got Sawyer at 12 weeks of age. His previous owner was unable to handle his hyperactive behavior and had resorted to hitting him. As a result, he was sensitive about having hands put near his face and would nip and bite at anyone who tried to pet him. Also he would nip and bite at anyone who got on his level including my three year old nephew. After Sawyer nipped at my nephews shirt and refused to listen when he was around other people and other dogs we decided to call Canine Dimensions. After his first training session all of his biting and nipping problems were cured and with the training advice we received he learned to see us as his leaders. He also has learned lots of new commands and is able to co exist with our cats. He is calm and obedient, even around strangers. We recently had our second training session and our trainer Maryanne was so happy with his improvement in behavior she suggested that we consider testing him for Canine Good Citizen.

Julie
 Julie had a visit to the vet today unlike any before. Usually she's shaking with fear, reserved,
nervous and ready to leave at the drop of a hat. Today, however, Julie was amazing. She walked
through the front door without hesitation. She was weighed without any trouble.
She was alert, interested in her surroundings without fear. One of the
techs who's familiar with her couldn't believe her eyes. She remarked
several times that Julie was a different dog. It was wonderful!
Thanks,
John M. |

Daisy
We are very grateful that we found you and are so relieved that Daisy is making so much progress so quickly. Our only regret is not calling you sooner. Your personal approach & philosophy in combination with that of Canine Dimensions has been professional, humane, and effective. We used to always wish that the Dog Whisperer lived in our community so that we could call upon him for in home training. We truly feel that we have that in you both. Thank you Juan & Irais!

Willie and Sam
"Your work with Willie and Sam has been amazing. I really did not think that an old dog could learn new tricks, but boy have you proved me wrong! I appreciate the patience and determination you have shown not only with my dogs, but with me as well. I am really confident that we will have a really happy and well behaved life together."
Beverly, Willie and Sam |

Maverick
"Juan and Irais, we are really grateful and appreciative of all your work with Maverick. Being as big and playful as he is we were really not sure he could be successfully trained, we would have been satisfied with just having a more manageable dog, but you have far exceeded our expectations. Maverick is not only much more manageable, he is a bona fide obedience trained dog and you made that happen! Thank you very much."
Connie, David and Maverick |

Maddox
"Maddox is doing awesome! Walks on the leash great now. You are very talented. I have had dog trainers before and they either put on a big show with the dog, which I could not follow, or talked a mile a minute which I could not follow. I really appreciate that you got me to implement these new measures. This is so much better."
Thank you,
Mary Lou |

Lucy
Maryanne,
There is an amazing change in Lucy since you visited us in December. Lucy now comes when she is called - every time. No more running out the door, no more jumping up on our guests. I'm just sorry we didn't call you sooner!
Thanks again,
Brian |

Rocky
Maryanne,
Just a note to let you know that Rocky and our family are all doing fine. He is much better behaved since we met you. We really cannot thank you enough for everything you've done. We were considering having to rehome Rocky but now that you helped us resolve his behavior issues, we can't imagine life without him. Thank you so much.

Juan "Juan is an amazing trainer. We have quite a few dogs in our rescue organization that we, unfortunately, were unable to find foster homes for and they were in boarding for a long period of time and developed behavior problems. Thanks to Juan, we were able to work with these dogs and get them in foster homes and even adopted! We are so grateful to him and appreciate his generosity to our organization. If you have a dog that needs training, Juan is your man!"
