Amazing experience!Training: After Daniel trained our dog, we spend our time enjoying his company and not trying to educate him.Boarding: Our biggest concern was our puppys well being. Leavening it somewhere was challenging. It was reassuring seeing how excited he is every time we go backThank you Daniel :)

Daniel has been extremely professional since day one. I sent my Corgi Stella for the one-month service dog boarding program at 3 months old, and I am extremely impressed with her outstanding progress at such a young age. She is very sharp on basic commands thanks to Daniel. I was worried about her excessive leash pulling, and Daniel completely fixed that. She’s now a confident walker that stays right by my side instead of trying to pull away. Nowadays, it’s really difficult to find individuals with integrity. Daniel has every bit of integrity and puts his heart into what he does. I did a lot of research before choosing a trainer for my service dog, and I’m glad I went with Daniel. The two lovely individuals who take care of your fur-baby while they’re being boarded are also amazing. I still have a while to go before Stella is certified since she isn’t one years old yet (a standard most trainers unfortunately don’t uphold), and I am beyond excited to continue working with Daniel.

When I got Howard, my aussiedoodle, I knew I wanted to start training early! Daniel agreed to start working with Howard right away & he was an absolute miracle worker! Daniels calm demeanor not only helped get Howard in shape, but kept me calm when I was overwhelmed with Howards behavior.Daniel helped with nearly every aspect of Howards puppy behavior, but the hardest was definitely walking Howard. I feel Daniels response to Howards walking troubles is indicative of Daniels approach to all behavioral challenges.Howard was IMPOSSIBLE to walk - he would jump and bite my arm, my pony-tail, my clothes. He was stubborn too - sometimes he wouldnt want to walk and would refuse to move and other times he would pull so much my arm would get tired! Daniel knew the perfect solution and now Howard is nearly perfect on walks! In fact, I can even take him on runs and he gets praised around my neighborhood for his good behavior.I truly do not know what Howard and I would do without Daniel! Not only does Howard behave beautifully, Howard absolutely LOVES Daniel and is so excited every time he gets to see him!

A friend of ours gave us a 2 year old Australian Shepherd -Lola and we soon found out she was a lot of work. Lola was strong willed and disobedient, in the beginning. Daniel came highly recommended and at first he was hesitant because Lola had aggressive behavior.Daniel agreed to take Lola on and without him we would have had to give her back. From day 1, she responded to commands and he was able to gently get her into her crate which before was a full on wrestling match to get her into it. We are so thankful for Daniel and he is the reason now we have a loving pet in our family and Lola has calmed down drastically. We have also used his boarding service for when we have to go out of town, and its also 5 star. Thank you Daniel!

Daniel is by far the most qualified trainer in town. He is very professional. He is always on time and really get things done. In my case I thought I was gonna struggle with the classes but he indeed proved me wrong. He is not only teaching your dog, he is training you to be on command.I highly recommend his services for peace of mind, you will not be disappointed.On the process of completing the course you will meet other students that graduated, everybody is so happy with the results. You will become part of the team Daniel family.Thanks Daniel

Daniel did an amazing job with our very “high energy” puppy. He was professional, reliable, and so knowledgeable. Even after the board and train he still does not hesitate to answer any questions. We highly recommend Daniel!

Daniel is training my Golden Retriever Mookie to be my service dog. Mookie stayed with Daniel for 30:days and now we are having weekly lessons. I am amazed at how much Mookie has learned! The best proof of how Mookie feels about his training time with Daniel is when we arrive for lessons. Mookie runs with absolute joy to greet Daniel and then does happy dog circles in the yard! As the human who also needs training I can tell you that I’ve received clear instructions in a professional environment. I’ve learned so much from Daniel! Mookie is becoming my service dog through the most wholesome and straightforward process.I’m so grateful for Daniel.

Daniel is a gentle giant with a heart of gold. We had him train our standard poodle puppy, he started when she was probably about 10 weeks and we did the 6 week in home training classes. He came once a week for an hour each week and taught her (and us) how to do the commands. We spent most of the session inside and then did some walking on the leash outside towards the end of each session. Before choosing Daniel we were looking at some other options but saw a lot of reviews on OTHER sites that said their puppies were coming back fearful after training sessions. Working with Daniel was amazing because we really got to see how he interacted with our Sasha and he was so sweet, kind and patient with her. He only used positive reinforcement and she absolutely loved him. He’s basically a dog whisperer, every trick he taught her she pretty much got it right away and the rest was up to us to practice with her. We are so thankful that he taught us how to train her because now we have a 5 month old well behaved puppy. Daniel was also always available and on time and if we ever had any questions we could just text him. We’re planning on leaving her with him when we go out of state to a wedding to do the staycation training so she can really refine her skills and learn more. We definitely trust Daniel and would recommend him.

Daniel took my 1 1/2 yr old Mini Benedoodle and without sacrificing Peanuts extremely energetic, playful, affectionate nature. He doesntstop to scrutinize every twig, frog, bug, leaf etc but walk easily now on a leash, knows all his basic commands like some, sit,stay.Hes the samejoyful little dog but instilled with good manners and the ability to concentrate and not get distracted by every little thing, .He no longer puts everything inappropriate in his mouth. and calmly goes into his crate when its time for bed. I never thought it possible to obtain the resultswe got.Once you get over your separation anxiety, youll see that your pup is happy, healthy, loved and well cared for. Thank you Daniel and Garret

Ramona BrongerHired to help with Gigis fear of people. My end goal was to have overall better “control” of my dog. Meaning, I wanted her to look to me for direction when it came to interactions with other dogs and people. Gigi spends most days with me in my office and we have a lot of visitors… and sometimes Gigi likes to let those people know she is present (AKA Barks LOUD!!!!). I wanted to correct those reactions. I also wanted to improve her leash skills, she pulled so bad it made walking very difficult for her and I.After only SIX sessions she has made some incredible progress. She has an almost perfect understanding of both verbal and non-verbal commands. She also no longer pulls on the leash but instead walks by my side and sits when I stop, follows my turns etc. She stays when told, and at anyone coming in the office which makes the customer and Gigi much more comfortable.Most importantly, recently when I left her alone in the black jeep (bad dog mom) she jumped out and came looking for me…. but she was spooked by the heavy traffic on Biscayne. She was running right for the road, but when I commanded Gigi Come, she immediately turned around and came to me. The training I received from Daniel literally saved her life. Two months ago she would of ignored me.... I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for one on one training for your dog or puppy.

Daniel did a wonderful job with my husband and his service dog. I would highly recommend Daniel to everybody because of the tremendous benefit my husband has had with the training of the service dog that we adopted from Miami dade animal services. He was very patient with our dog who is a playful terrier mix.

A little over a year ago, our family rescued a great Dane puppy that had many, many issues....we were unsure whether we would ever be able to train him properly at all.....with Daniels help, he slowly became a brand new puppy....he is now the sweetest, most well behaved 115+ pound sweetheart....I will never be able to thank Daniel enough.

I would give a million stars, if I could! There are no words to describe what Daniel has done for us! He’s a TRUE professional and REALLY knows what he’s doing!!! I can’t imagine my dog and I would be where we are now, without him. He knows how to look at each person and animal as an individual team and will give you all the training and tools for success. Thank you again!

I just wrapped up our dog training series with Daniel and our dog Mae who is a recent rescue. What a difference we see in our dog and our relationship with her. Walking with her is now a pleasure and with Daniel’s direction and guidance I have a much more confident pup! I definitely recommend Daniel for any of your dog training needs. Thank you Daniel!

Before training started, we considered giving away our puppy because of her behavior. After training with Daniel, the puppy is a keeper. I highly recommend Daniel and his 3 week boarding program.

Amazing trainer nobody else in South Florida I would recommend. This trainer goes above and beyond. He will train in your home or his. I ran into some hard times and this trainer guaranteed to purchase my dogs food for a year. What kind of amazing person does that ? If you are looking for a trainer for your dog or service dog please take my word for it and look no further. Call or text Daniel !!!!

My wife and I had a great 6 lesson training with Daniel with our 2 month old toy poodle puppy. We originally hired him to help us train our puppon the Wee Wee pads. He was so helpful in that area but over the 6 lessons we learned so much other things he taught us. It was unbelievable that he could teach her to her sit or to stay or even climb 5 stairs and each week it would only take about 10 minutes of the session to do it. I would strongly and highly recommend Daniel for any and all your training needs.

Daniel gets 10 stars. He made my experience walking my dog change from being a dreadful every day nightmare to a real pleasure. Super easy to communicate with & very compassionate. However Daniel doesn’t have a problem telling you if you’re the problem!! I like that. I’m surely going to continue with Bowie’s training if needed or wanted with Daniel. It also has made the bonding between me & Bowie much stronger. Thanks again Daniel

Daniel De La Rosa is a treasure in our community. He is a top notch dog trainer both for home pets and service dogs. He uses only humane, safe techniques. In the community, he supports all the local Scouting units giving demonstrations of Service Animals and explaining to the kids how to behave around them. Always our most attended event of the year. We love you Daniel!

Daniel is an incredible dog trainer! He has not only trained my dog but taught me how to train her! He is amazing with the dogs and she lights up every time she sees him! She has stayed with him multiple times and she always comes back healthy, happy, and trained! She is an amazing service dog now and I have Daniel to thank for it!

I want to say that Daniel did a phenomenal job with training my sons dog. My 13 year old, needed a service animal, to help him overcome some of his disabilities. Not only did Daniel focus on training Cooper, but he taught my son how to handle Cooper. My son continues to remind us that he cant imagine life without Cooper. The DPT has been true blessing to his life. We are forever grateful for Daniels caring, loving, patient ways towards Cooper,our son and our family. Thank you!

We love and highly recommend Daniel De La Rosa. We’ve been using him to train our puppy since January of 2019 and see him once a week. Our little Frankie is a well mannered one year old now who knows several commands, has been a great traveler and will be a therapy dog soon. We loved Daniel’s positive reinforcement training methods and we learned about the special work Daniel does training dogs to be service animals. Daniel De La Rosa trained our neighbor’s dog, a service dog for a young woman who was terribly disabled during her time in the military. She spoke about how her service dog gave her independence and comfort. We can’t thank Daniel enough for all that he’s taught us and for what he does for his community.

Daniel has been an excellent trainer for our puppy Hannah and for us too. He has a very special way with dogs, and ours responded very well to his teaching. We did the In home training, and then the Board and Train, as well as a Traincation. She was a “Mad Puller”, and walking her on a small sidewalk next to a busy street we were in danger of her pulling us into traffic. It was so bad that we almost had to give her up...After 3 weeks with Daniel she returned home and was loose leash walking. She follows commands and is still learning- she’s 14 months now.We are so grateful for Daniel! He is knowledgeable, sensitive, kind,and patient. He communicates well with the dogs, and the owners. We look forward to working with him again in the future.Ken & Jody Farrell

Daniel is the best!! I got a German Shepard from rescue after my doctors recommended I get a service dog to assist my medical issues. Daniel has taken my dog and turned her into the best service dog a person could have. After learning her commands, we have been going out weekly to various places, mall, food court, etc..so he cN help me know what to do in these situations. I could not do this without his leadership and support!!

Daniel did an amazing job training my service dog. It has made a tremendous difference in my life. Daniel is patient with both dogs and their owners during the learning process. I am so blessed to have found the perfect trainer who is experienced, knowledgeable and gentle. Ghost and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Daniel!Edited to add: Two years after meeting Daniel my life has forever been changed through his guidance in training my family dog to become my service dog. Ghost has retained the obedience skills and tasks that Daniel taught him. He also gets super excited when we see Daniel so I know it was a positive experience for all. Post training Daniel has always been willing to answer my questions and included Ghost and I in some fun service team group training sessions. Highly recommend!

Daniel just spent 4 weeks training my boyfriend’s service dog. Maverick learned a ton and clearly enjoyed himself. Daniel did an amazing job. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

I highly recommend Daniel as a Dog Trainer. I have been a volunteer for Service Dogs For Servicemen for about 5 years. Ive met alot of the Veterans and Clients along with their dogs. The change in both at the end of their training program is very drastic in a positive way. Ive watched Daniel train alot of the dogs and he is very good with each and every dog and the Owners. I am proud to be a Volunteer with Daniels organization. And recommend him to everyone i can. Thanks Daniel for making a positive difference in so many lives!

Daniel was wonderful with our goldendoodle, Max. I highly recommend his 3 week boarding/ training option, which comes with 4 hour-long training sessions once the dog comes home. Max now walks like a gentleman on his leash and knows the basic commands. Daniel is well worth the price!!!

Review №38

Daniel is the most patient man on the planet, when we first met I had a laundry list of what I thought a Service Dog should do. He weeded out what was most important for a highly successful pairing between my dog Gunner and myself. His training method took a track greyhound and turned him into a Service Dog I can trust! Not to say I have to have an active roll with his training, but we just completed a flight with plane changes and he was wonderful! Thank you Daniel for you calmness and patience. I highly recommend him for training and not just Service Dogs - go to his Facebook page Daniel De La Rosa - Dogs to see what he can do for you.

My 90 lb. 4 year old lab is a fantastic dog. Its not that he doesnt know to walk with a loose leash. Its a totally different story when he sees someone who he just has to meet . We used Daniels board & train program and now I can walk him without being yanked into traffic. Daniel smoothed out some of his rough edges.

Looking for an AMAZING dog trainer? An acquaintance of ours mentioned that she interviewed all the top dog trainers in South Florida recently and said Daniel De La Rosa was, hands-down, THE BEST. Well this woman knows dogs, so we set up an appointment. WOW! Rocky, our golden retriever rescue, fell head-over-heels for Daniel! He learned SO MUCH in his first session, we were truly blown away! When Daniel arrived to our home the following week, we watched in amazement as Rocky instantly sat at attention the moment he saw Daniel, so eager to learn some more! We now have a wonderful puppy who enjoys walking on a leash, playing fetch, greeting people, performing all sorts of commands and, most importantly, coming when called! ALL thanks to Daniel! Our friends are VERY IMPRESSED, as are we, and we recommend Daniel without hesitation. THANKS for EVERYTHING, Daniel!!

We had no idea what having or training a service dog would entail.  From getting the dog,  to what type/breed of dog to get, to what the rules and laws were for people who need and own a service dog. Daniel walked us through the process from the beginning,  even going with us to a dog rescue to give us his input on the dog we thought wed adopt/rescue to be our daughters service dog. We dont even live in the same county and thats never been an issue. Daniels passion for teaching and training dogs is what makes him so amazing. I believe my daughter was the first child hes worked with and he has been patient and gentle, yet firm, with her and its really made a world of difference. We were actually kind of disappointed when our sessions ended though we know hes always just a phone call away. We not only recommend,  we also encourage anyone who needs a dog trainer whether it be a service dog or a family dog, to contact Daniel De La Rosa.

I have followed Daniel over the years through his organization, Service Dogs 4 Servicemen, I have attended fund raisers where I have met the Veterans that Daniel has helped. They told me that their lives were improved dramatically by having a trained service dog to help them with PTSD.....I recently lost my 5th GSD and decided to rescue this time. I rescued a male teenager that had a mind of his own....I hired Daniel and the first meeting with Kiko started horribly and I actually thought that Daniel would say that Kiko was too aggressive to train. Within literally minutes Daniel had Kiko eating out of his hand. We accomplished so much in an hour I was flabbergasted. In case you think training is expensive, look at it this way.......you will have an extremely well behaved dog for 10, 12 hopefully 15 years or more. Divide the price of training by those years and Daniel is actually quite a bargain. .

Daniel De La Rosa did a great job, in working with me and my dog Mars!! I was in one of his programs, that helps Servicemen with Service Dogs. I found his training to be professional, unique, awesome, and much needed.Previously, I had contacted several other organizations, which helped Servicemen with Service Dogs & Training, but not all of them would work with me, as well as my dog Mars, and the ones that would, just didn’t seem to be what I was looking for, but Daniel De La Rosa was.Now that our training is done, Mars has become an awesome Service Dogs, and though our Classes are done, I sometimes still ask Daniel for advice, and he’s always more than willing to help.With that said, I want to say thank you, to Daniel De La Rosa. Your training has made life with my dog even better, which has helped in making our bond even stronger!!“Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light” – Amrit Desai.Sometimes, that hand is a paw.

Review №52

My husband researched and found Daniel on the web, as we needed someone to reinforce his (my husbands) ESA dogs already good behavior. We are preparing to travel a long distance with him this summer, and wanted to ensure that he would not be traumatized by the air travel experience - crowds, noise, limited food/water, long stretches in a closed environment, etc.So after approximately 3 months (12 sessions spread out) and one amazing airport experience on the ground (thanks to United Airlines), we booked a trip to New York City together. Daniel flew to EWR with us, and monitored and evaluated my husbands handling of the pooch the whole way. We had a silent and relaxed dog during takeoff, flight, and landing. Super experience. Flight attendants all said he was better than most children!Once we collected our bags and jumped in our car service, we headed into NYC and went our separate ways. My husband and I had an amazing weekend test run and doggy passed all the tests with flying colors.At the end of the day, we learned a lot about our dogs behavior and preferences just from this short trip, and will use the information to structure a sure-fire successful long haul voyage this summer.Daniel de la Rosa Dogs: A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have been a Pet Lover all my life, worked with more than one trainer, and Daniel De La Rosa is the best dog trainer I have ever seen. A REAL dog whisper, he knows what he is doing, and more important he knows how to communicate his knowledge to the dogs owners, so they can follow up themselves with the training process at home.
