    After one session

    my dog was traumatized from cages & had terrible separation anxiety and tore up my half of my door trying to get out one day after i left for work. After ONE session with Xavier she felt comfortable enough to go into the crate on her own and lay down and i was able to leave her at home with no issuesHe really helps you understand what your dog needs. He's so kind and patient. Definitely booking him again to work on other issues!

    My dog, Bobby, was a crazy dog. He would bark and lunge at people and little kids. He snapped at my friend while she was playing with my nephews. He would always bark at the drive thru people when I would order, and I would never know how to calm him down. It got to a point I don't even want to take him out anymore, not even for walks because it was always a pain to have to deal with his outbursts. Others would say he was an aggressive dog, but I knew that he wasn't. He would be calm when it would be just me and him and he would listen as well when it was just me and him. I live with 3 kids and 3 other adults. They would complain to me that he needed training because he would also jump on the kids and actually just jump on everyone he got excited seeing. So I called Xavier to set up an appointment. For our first appointment, I didn't want Bobby to be out as soon as he enters because I knew he would become aggressive and bark. Xavier came in, I took Bobby out of my room and sure enough he was going crazy barking and lunging at Xavier. He was calm meanwhile my nephews were going ballistic as well seeing a new person come in the house. He was still calm and waited until Bobby was somewhat relaxed. We both walked to the backyard and he mentioned Bobby is the way he is because of my nephews. Bobby needs a calm environment. He also mentioned Bobby is not an aggressive dog because he would have biten him already. That actually meant the world to hear because I knew my boy wasn't an aggressive dog. He said he's very fearful and has a lot of anxiety. We got to it and he taught me a few things that actually calmed him down so much even my family were noticing within a week. He never made me feel bad or guilty about my ignorance of just not knowing about dogs in general. He teaches in a way where it's so easy to understand and he gives different perspectives. Since the training, Bobby licks his paws about 80% less due to his anxiety decrease which I didn't even know anxiety caused him to do that, I thought it was allergies (the amount of allergy medicines I was buying to get him to stop)! He listens to me more and I know how to calm him down and know what to do in situations where another dog is walking by or he's getting so hyped to see a family member. His reaction to strangers casually walking by decreased as well! It's been a month and I've seen so much improvement in Bobby. I'm excited for what the next couple of months has in store for us. The tools and knowledge that Xavier has shared with me gave me confidence to take bobby out for walks and even go to plazas because I know I have been set up for success! I definitely recommend him! Thanks a lot Xavier!

    No tricks, no bull. Just honest and true knowledge on how to create a confident and healthy relationship with your pup I consider myself lucky getting to work with Xavier! I couldn't be more confident with how my journey has been with Raven.

    I honestly don't know what we would have done without Everyday Pack Leader. We were on our last straw, stressed out & going to re-home our pitty. They showed us how to control the chaos & take back control of our house. They taught us how to be leaders of our pack, now we don't have to re-home her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!! Definitely recommend them, you will not be sorry. Xavier & Niki are so personable & you can really tell how much they care for every single dog they come into contact with.

    I really enjoyed learning about dog behavior from Xavier. I took my crazy pittie to Xavier and he taught me about how all the little moments and interactions with my girl matter. I never considered all the nuances to dog training. Xavier took the time to explain things to me and he has such a great way of explaining concepts so that it just makes so much sense. I have worked with a few trainers and Xavier is by far the best. He has a great way of teaching and that's the most important part in dog training. I learned so much and I can't wait to work with him again! I definitely recommend him for major behavior issues or just puppy stuff!

    Since training with Javier, we've seen a real change in our dog. His explanations changed the way we looked at dog training and our relationship with our dog is stronger than ever. If you're willing to put in the work, call Javier.

    Xavier changed our lives! I never thought I would consider re-homing a dog, but our son and dog were not getting along. I went through three different trainers and did everything I could think of to try and help the situation. After a failed attempt to rehome our pup, I didn't know what else to do, until I came across Xavier's information. Starting with the initial call, I have been so impressed. I was defeated and I am sure he could tell. He took the time to help me on that call even before I committed to working with him. I probably called through 20 people that day and not one other person did that. After one session, our problem was fixed! That doesn't mean the work is over, but I no longer have to live in fear of our pup biting our son or anyone else. He really helped us understand the big picture using lots of fun analogies. I swear it's like an episode with Caesar. Seems too good to be true, but if you listen and put in the work, your life will be changed too! We are continuing to work with Xavier and I cannot wait to see what else can be accomplished!

    The pack Xavier helped create.

    We worked with Xavier regarding introducing a newly rescued dog into our pack. Our two dogs which we had for years were not accepting our new dog into the pack and were being aggressive and territorial. To make things worse, one of our existing dogs has high anxiety which made the situation even more challenging. We worked with Xavier several months and he was extremely patient. He gave us clear direction on what we should be working on in-between sessions. Xavier was exceptional and our dogs are now a happy pack. We highly recommend Xavier and are over the moon with our pack.

    Started working with Xavier March of 2021. At that time I was ready to rehome my dog. Reluctantly I sought the help Xavier whom came highly recommended. Before I made the call for had to ask myself, "what do you want to accomplish?" I wanted the following: 1) Dog not to jump on people 2) no marking in the house 3) leash training meaning no pulling 4) stay relaxed around balls and toys The very first day he was to assess my dogs character and teach me how to best connect with my dog (Duece). After 3 training sessions I was told that I was all done and my dog didn't need anymore or his help. I was instantly filled with fear BC I didn't think I had what it takes to continue on the path of connecting with my dog. Now today after only 5 sessions in total my dog and I are connected, I know how to best communicate with Dulce. Most importantly my dog is not a prisoner to his own excitement or behavior. He is able to be free because I can take him out to experience new things. Thanks you Xavier I'm forever grateful. Dee & Duece

    Bailey was so scared of Cooper before Xavier  he wouldn't lay anywhere near him.
