    I would strongly advise anyone considering AYP Training to think twice before sending their dog…read morethere. After having our dog for 24 days, it became very clear there was a complete lack of communication, professionalism, and understanding of our living situation. We live in a high-rise condo, yet somehow they spent weeks training our dog to go outside in a backyard setting -- something that does not apply to our home at all. How this was never clarified during nearly a month of training is beyond concerning. What's even more upsetting is that our dog came back terrified of car rides, which was never an issue before. As owners, that is heartbreaking to witness. After reviewing the videos and conditions of the trainer's home, we were honestly shocked. The house appeared trashed, chaotic, and nowhere near the professional environment we were promised when paying for "professional" dog training services. Nothing about this experience reflected the level of care, structure, or quality that was advertised. We invested a significant amount of money trusting this company with our dog, and the results were disappointing from start to finish. Between the misrepresentation, poor communication, and lack of professionalism, this experience felt extremely misleading. Save your money and do your research before trusting this company with your pet.

Dee came out to our house to give initial obedience lessons (actually, to train us!), and we followed up with group lessons at their facility. It's a great opportunity to drill in the basics, learn strategies to get your dog paying attention to you, heel, walk on a leash without pulling, follow basic commands. Attending the group sessions is also wonderful for socializing your dog. Beyond the basics they have agility training and other advanced classes. AYP also has excursions like a beach day... we're hoping to catch that with our current foster dog Velcro!

    My only regret is not coming to Richard sooner. I have had 4 dog trainers before him and absolutely…read moreno one was able to create the positive change I have seen in my dog. My dog was dog aggressive, could never take her to a dog park, taking her on a walk or anywhere where we could possibly encounter another dog was a nightmare. She was stubborn and would listen to me maybe 50% of the time on a good day. Everyone told me to use positive methods, take her near a dog park and give her treats every time she looks at a dog. None of that worked. I was told she was reactive and I just needed to accept that. But my dog was so reactive and fearful she was not enjoying life. On the first day with Richard, I saw an immediate change, she was able to walk by a dog and not even bark or lunge or make a sound. It was crazy! Richard was right... coming into this my dog didn't trust me and let me tell you his methods not only improved my dog's life but improved my relationship with my dog. By the third day of training my dog was in the dog park, playing and running around with other dogs and you could see how happy she was, it was like a weight of fear was lifted off her shoulders, I could not believe it. Now I go to dog parks two to three times a week. At first, I was skeptical about e-collar training, but seeing how quick and effective it was and how knowledgeable Richard was with this I definitely grew more comfortable with it and am convinced there truly is no other way, but the most important thing here is Richard. He knows exactly what he is doing, I would not trust anyone else at this point. The Miami Dog Whisperer has my absolute highest recommendation, I will only train my future dogs with him. Thank you so much Richard!!

My dog had a bit of an anxiety/aggressive issue, and we also were looking for obedience. I saw a huge difference after just one class! Richard was always very professional, and took his time to explain things and really listen. My husband and I are extremely happy with the results, and we will forever be grateful to Richard and his staff for treating us like VIP. I highly recommend him!

He is so obedient and for a guardian dog his obedience training needed to start early. He learned so many things and I learned so much as well.

I highly recommend this company for always treating Mr Bear with so much care and compassion!

My…read moredog, Wrigley, attended service dog boot camp for an entire month with her wonderful trainers. They set up a consultation to discuss my specific tasks for Wrig to work on to help me have an easier life. Wrigley left me as a highly energetic rescue dog with so much love and no spacial awareness. She was extremely smart but didn't know how to use it. After a month with Cadence K9 she came home a smart, fully aware, still so loving, extremely helpful service dog. They not only taught her basic commands to help me in every day life, but they taught her critical thinking in every day life. She went on field trips to get public training and she absolutely knew when she was working and when she wasn't. I was blown away. Just a week or so ago, several months after her training camp, Wrigley and I were out and about shopping. I was standing at a counter purchasing something and Wrigley noticed people walking close behind me. She switched on her own and made herself a protective barrier between me and the crowd. Not long after that I was walking through a restaurant and tripped and fell on a rug. Wrigley ran to the nearest person and got their attention to come help me up. I'm not sure how you train a dog to do that specifically, but I do know they helped Wrigley understand her purpose and role in life when she is working for me. For that I am forever grateful to the wonderful trainers at Cadence K9! They changed Wrigleys life and have helped my life so much! I will always recommend the amazing trainers at Cadence K9 and I think Wrigley's overwhelming excitement every time she sees one of the trainers will back me up on that.

    As typical first-time dog owners, my partner and I were very hesitant to send our puppy away…read moreonboard for a month. Juan came to us highly recommended by a family with a problematic dog who was completely transformed through his methods. Needless to say, we experienced the same. We have been able to incorporate our dog as part of our family in ways that were inconceivable before. Every aspect of our day to day life with him has become more enjoyable for both of us. And though the E-Collar use was a concern at first, we've learned that it is the best way to seamlessly synchronize our dog's mind with our commands. Juan is an expert in dog psychology, and truly understands how to combat the natural inhibitions of a dog to match your own. If you're worried your dog will come back "different" or "not like himself" like we were, you'd be completely mistaken! All that's changed is that we can actually have a relationship with our pet and practice control of his emotions. Juan is also a man of his word in every sense. Our dog was giving him a harder time than expected, so he kept him an entire other week for free to affirm he could deliver the best result possible. On our day of getting him back, Juan proved how great of a teacher he is. He dedicated nearly 5 hours to make sure my family felt comfortable with all of my pet's new commands, how to implement them, and proper E-Collar use. As with any training, there is a heavy emphasis on how you apply these methods at home. And Juan couldn't be more helpful in this sense, answering our calls whenever we felt confused or doubtful as to how to combat certain problems. Never could I have imagined we could live this life we are living now with our pet. Juan! Un abrazo! Translated (Spanish): Como dueños típicos de perros por primera vez, mi pareja y yo dudamos mucho en enviar a nuestro cachorro a bordo durante un mes. Juan vino a nosotros altamente recomendado por una familia con un perro problemático que fue completamente transformado a través de sus métodos. No hace falta decir que experimentamos lo mismo. Hemos sido capaces de incorporar a nuestro perro como parte de nuestra familia de formas que antes eran inconcebibles. Todos los aspectos de nuestro día a día con él se han vuelto más agradables para los dos. Y aunque el uso del collar electrónico fue una preocupación al principio, hemos aprendido que es la mejor manera de sincronizar sin problemas la mente de nuestro perro con nuestros comandos. Juan es un experto en psicología canina y realmente entiende cómo combatir las inhibiciones naturales de un perro para igualar las tuyas. Si le preocupa que su perro regrese "diferente" o "no como él mismo" como nosotros, ¡está completamente equivocado! Todo lo que ha cambiado es que podemos tener una relación con nuestra mascota y practicar el control de sus emociones. Juan también es un hombre de su palabra en todos los sentidos. Nuestro perro le estaba dando mas dificultad de lo esperado, por lo que lo mantuvo durante otra semana entera gratis para afirmar que podía ofrecer el mejor resultado posible. En nuestro día de recuperarlo, Juan demostró lo gran maestro que es. Dedicó casi 5 horas para asegurarse de que mi familia se sintiera cómoda con todos los nuevos comandos de mi mascota, cómo implementarlos y el uso adecuado del collar electrónico. Al igual que con cualquier entrenamiento, hay un gran énfasis en cómo aplica estos métodos en casa. Y Juan no podía ser más útil en este sentido, respondiendo a nuestras llamadas cada vez que nos sentíamos confundidos o con dudas sobre cómo combatir ciertos problemas. Nunca podría haber imaginado que podríamos vivir esta vida que estamos viviendo ahora con nuestra mascota. Juan! ¡Un abrazo!
