I have a 4-year-old English Bulldog who had been reactive to both dogs and people for over two years. I tried training her on my own several times, but nothing seemed to work, and I eventually lost hope that she'd ever be able to enjoy going out. After completing sessions with Fabian, the transformation has been incredible. My dog is now able to calmly socialize at stores, no longer reacts to people or other dogs, and truly enjoys peaceful walks. One thing I really appreciated about Fabian is that he emphasizes the importance of owners doing their homework. His training provides the foundation, but the long-term behavioral changes come from consistently applying what he teaches. His guidance gave us the confidence and tools we needed to make lasting progress. Fabian was also very accommodating with my schedule, especially considering that English Bulldogs can't tolerate the heat for long periods. On top of that, his prices are very affordable. I'm incredibly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their dog's behavior. read more

I had such a great experience with this company! Fabian was amazing! I adopted a very large puppy from the shelter and once she was healthy, she needed a lot of work. I opted for the bootcamp. She came back a well trained dog! Of course we continue to work with her, but we could not have made that much progress without this program. Fabian was understanding and sent me many updates, pictures and videos. I plan on using them again for other dogs. Could not be happier! read more

One Paw Forward - Pet Training Near Me

Doesn't serve Homestead yet it clearly states on the website for boarding/training where the dogs are boarded in their facility for about a month. How is it out of the area if their boarded? There is no traveling if boarded. Update or clearly state boarding policies, if you live outside of Miami you can't board your dogs here. I've boarded/trained dogs in Broward with previous dogs, even in Coral Gables, never ran across this issue. Look for other training services if you're not in Miami. read more

This is the message I just sent Fabian after having our 6 month old Papillon back home after he did the 24 day "boot camp" haha. "Hi! So far we are seeing such a difference in Oscar! WOW! He is obviously still a puppy but he is soooo much more manageable and he is doing great with his sitting, staying and leave it! Oh, and not an accident yet! He also isn't incessantly nipping at our fingers or toes! He is so much more pleasant. Still not eating much but, I'll check in with the vet on that maybe if he keeps it up. Thanks again, Fabian! You truly have a gift. " I think that says it all. Fabian is an amazing trainer and a stand up guy. If you want your pup trained with patience and compassion and results, look no further. read more

Fabian is an incredible dog trainer! He provided easy, actionable programs that helped get our rescue trained quickly. He was attentive, present, and really tried to understand our lifestyle and goals. More than the training, he was very helpful with general questions around our dog's health and routine. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Hate to leave a review like this but after reading such positive reviews I am quite upset at my experience. According to the profile response time is 10 hours. I requested contact February 24th and it's been 17 days the only thing I got was a request for my number. And since that I have still not heard back. I understand being busy or booked but a response to acknowledge the customer would be a step in the right direction. I don't mind waiting 17 days if it's because you are booked out that many days. I wouldn't say don't use the service cause I haven't had a chance to but definitely a bad experience for me. read more

Hiring Fabian was the best decision I ever made. I contacted Fabian to help me with my rescue dog Coco. Coco is a sweet but stubborn 3 yrs. old schnauzer mix with no formal training. He was a real puller and would lunge, and bark to other dogs. Coco also acted very fearful in social settings. Under Fabian's direction, I learned along with Coco, and I am now confident taking him on trips, to restaurants and other social venues. Coco is a different dog, even my friends had commented on Coco's improvements. Fabian was always punctual, patient, and accessible between training for any questions. I would highly recommend Fabian to anyone who is serious about training their dog. Thanks again Fabian for everything! read more

I used One Paw Forward (Fabian ) to train my puppy Ella. Ella was jumping , biting , chewing and not listening . We sent her to Fabian at One Paw Forward and the changes in Ella are amazing .

Fabian also taught us how to relate to Ella and establish routines for her. I am truly grateful for Fabian and his guidance and training for Ella. I highly recommend him . read more

I have a 7 month old husky and we just finished our level 1 training. Kim was an amazing trainer and was always available for any questions or doubt i had. As we all know husky can be hard headed, but with the help of Kim we have seen a huge change in my puppies behaviors. My husky use to chew on doors, pull away on walks, jump when we are sitting at the table, break furniture, and many other behaviors. Now we have a very polite husky who just loves all the attention in world. All her tricks have worked miracles and have motivated me into continuing training at home. I can 100% recommend one paw forward. If I can convince my family to get a new puppy I will be 100% contacting One Paw Forward! read more

One Paw Forward - Pet Training Near Me

My five-month pitbull completed boarding training with Fabian, and my family and I are shocked with the positive results. At first, my wife and I debated sending our doggy to boarding because she was already well behaved but needed minor corrections. But wow, after the training with Fabian, we felt we received a brand new dog. She was calmer and obidient. One of our biggest problems was separation anxiety and potty training, and now we feel comfortable leaving her alone when we step out of the house, and she lets us know when she needs to potty outside. So even if you think your dog is good, I still highly recommend Fabian; you will be shocked by how much your doggy can improve. read more

Our boy Gunther has just completed level 2 training with Fabian, and we could not be happier with his behavior. Fabian went above and beyond to make sure Gunther received proper training. He was a very high energy dog and was always very easily distracted (therefore never listening) but with Fabian's training Gunther has been transformed and responds instantly to all of our commands. This is the second time we use Fabian's services and absolutely cannot thank or recommend him enough! John and I are so grateful for the, the love, discipline and dedication and transformation! If you are looking for results and on all brain no pain trainer, one paw forward is the way to go! read more

Fabian is the new "dog whisperer". We have a 10 month old Samoyed who is the light of our lives. He recently completed One Paw Forward's Board and Train program. Before Fabian, Charley ruled our house! Samoyeds are notoriously a difficult breed to train because they're very stubborn and very smart working dogs. They love attention 24/7, and will get up to all sorts of mischief to get attention I was hesitant at first because I didn't want to be without my boy for 24 days, but Fabian reassured me that he would be in excellent hands. I really wanted a trainer that used no negative reinforcement or gimmicks to get a dog to respond. After researching several trainers, I knew that Fabian would be a great fit for my sweet and exuberant Charley! Fabian truly loves and understands dogs. He speaks their language. His love and understanding of dogs is obvious. Remarkably, Charley came home a completely different dog ( in the best possible way). Same sweet personality, but ALL of his adverse behaviors either disappeared entirely or were vastly improved. Fabian responded immediately to all texts and sent photos and videos. He picked up specialized food from us, weekly. We had a follow up today with Fabian ( which is included in the Board and Train package), and Charley was beside himself with joy to see Fabian again! He gave us great follow-up tips to maintain and improve Charley's training. The results are incredible, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who loves their dog. I would highly encourage any dog owner to use Fabian. Your dog will be in great hands, and both you and your pup will be happier after you learn to better communicate and your pup knows what is expected of him/her! Such a great overall experience, and I am so grateful! I know going forward that if we ever need to board Charley, he will be very happy to go to Fabian's "Puppy Camp"! read more

Kim is AMAZING! We had a 10 week Rottweiler "Bailey" when we met her with some puppy issues that we honestly was thinking of rehoming her until Kim came into our lives and saved the day. She really understood our frustrations along with what to do about them Bailey responded from the first session and just keeps getting better. Thank you so much Kim you were life changing for our little family! read more

One Paw Forward - Look at that "Stay" - Pet Training Near Me

Results were incredible! My 10 month old English Bulldog did not listen to anyone, was terrible to take for walks, and the puppy nibbling was out of control. Fabian taught us how to give her structure, obedience, and to respect us. Results were instant and his methods are effective. Scheduling was super accommodating and flexible. 10/10 I have no complaints with One Paw Forward's service. read more

I sent my dog for basic training and I regret wasting my money which was very costly for 2 weeks Boarding. she came back with a different personality. Aggressive toward me, which she never was, more barking, I regret it. Don't do it. read more

Kim is professionally knowledgeable and she patiently trained both our puppy and our entire family to include two grandsons. read more

What an amazing experience.. Fabian is a great dog trainer and just a fantastic person personally. He really took the time to train my Golden-doodle well. My fur baby is calmer and is much much more manageable. He has given us invaluable tools to continue to have a wonderful well trained dog.. Highly recommend the board and train there are no pinch collars or anything of the sort used just verbal correction, consistency and time out and let me tell you it works !! My puppy came back so happy like he had been on a great vacation and the bonus for us so much better behaved. Will definitely 100% recommend and will use again if needed.. thank you Fabian for everything ! read more

Fabian is amazing and very patient with my morkie puppy, Harley! I took Harley to a 24-day intensive training boot camp and he came back a manageable and well-behaved dog that we now can enjoy. Harley needed behavioral and structure issues fixed such as separation anxiety, basic command training, potty training, crate training, and most importantly Fabian gave both Harley and I structure which now we can both work with and get accustomed to. Thank you Fabian for being so patient and great to Harley! read more

Fabian is one of the best dog sitters/trainers! He is extremely patient, knowledgeable, friendly, affordable and kind. He took care of my pomsky, answered all of my questions, gave me some helpful pointers and his level of communication skills exceeded my expectations. My doggy was very happy and I felt so comfortable knowing that he was in great hands. His love for animals show. Thank you Fabian. I will be sure to happily refer you to every pet owner I know. read more

Fabian was worth every penny!! My French bulldog puppy completed boarding and training with him and I couldn't be happier with the results. She came back home with a much better puppy attitude and our relationship has improved greatly because of the good puppy behavior that she has learned. She is now not chewing my entire house, alerting for potty breaks & holding it until she is outside, walking well on the leash, and most importantly SOOOO calm compared to before. I'm so thankful to have found this company and so thankful for Fabian! read more

I reached out to Fabian for help with behavioral issues with a 2 year old yorkie. I brought her to live with me after having spent the majority of her life in her crate. She was very aggressive towards strangers and wasn't receptive to any sort of training I had tried on my own. After six sessions with Fabian, she's a completely different dog. He taught me techniques to be able to introduce her to new people without her attacking right off the bat. Leaving her home alone, even for 10 minutes, was a huge issue, but now I'm able to leave her home alone without worrying that she will destroy everything in sight. She actually learned the sit and stay commands within two sessions, which I thought would be impossible for her. Her behavior has improved so much that everyone that has seen her since she began training cannot believe it's the same dog. I totally recommend Fabian to anyone who needs help with their dog. read more

My puppy is a much behaved dog thanks to Kim. She taught us how to train our dog pretty quickly and she was always available between sessions for any questions we had. Fabian boarded our puppy overnight for a quick trip and he also was great! read more

Fabian was absolutely incredible. I had some questions about my puppy and he didn't even charge me to give me all of the tips necessary to correct some concerning behaviors. He is kind, knowledgeable, and I couldn't recommend him more highly!! read more

Fabian came to our house to meet our puppy who recently had two surgeries due to hip displaysia. He spent at least 30 minutes observing her / working with us before telling us that we don't need a professional dog trainer & that we just need to get back into the training / walking routine we had prior to her surgeries. He also provided us with some tips for our continued training at home. I was pleasantly surprised by the very honest advice (and by the fact that he didn't try to sell us a dog training package even though I was convinced we needed one!) & would strongly encourage anyone who is considering professional dog training to reach out to Fabian. read more

Recently finished my 6 week training with Kim, and the progression with my 5 month old puppy has been amazing! I wanted to teach my puppy basic obedience training before anything became an issue and with Kim's help I was able to take the right steps in order to do so. Kim was very informative and hands on and answered any questions I ever had during and after our training sessions. I now feel confident enough to continue training my puppy on my own, and can't wait to see his continuous progress! read more

One Paw Forward - My puppy Romeo - Pet Training Near Me

Fabian has been a godsend for my wife and me. We did the six weeks of in-home training, which was really helpful in getting our dog's behavior problems under control. We now board our dog with Fabian every time we go out of town. Fabian picks our dog up and drops him off, and his prices are very reasonable relative others in the area. Most importantly, he is friendly, respectful, and a very effective trainer! Our dog always comes back from boarding sessions with Fabian tired, happy, and well-behaved. Can't recommend him enough. Thanks Fabian! read more

Fabian is very professional, articulate and communicates well. Most importantly, he really knows his craft..He doesn't just give advice..he takes time to explain why. I am so excited to start "retraining" my little guy. The entire experience was *****. read more

My experience with One Paw Forward was amazing! Kim was so patient with my 1 year old dog. My dog is more calm, well behaved, and less aggressive after training sessions with Kim.

I would recommend her to anyone looking to train their dog! read more

A dog is a family member who you live with all your heart. When sending your dog away for training; especially boarding training; trust in her you are leaving your family member with is the greatest priority. Well I had to send my baby; a Dogo Argentino; Chloe so knowing who I was going to send her to was too on my list. But all you get are recommendations and reviews. I saw Fabian's reviews as very position and the only negative review was handled by him with great professionalism. This is I picked and what can I say; the best decision I could have made. Chloe was away for his 24 day program and I can say he did everything he said he would do. I loved that when he was asked about visiting Chloe during the four days he was honest and said "I don't recommended it but it's your dog". This told me a lot and convinced me that he was the trainer I wanted for my baby. She has been back for a little over a week and WOW I can not have asked for more. During the entire time she was away Fabian was responsive to all calls and provided updates (verbal and videos) which helped my sadness. What came back os a better family member and I am great full to Fabian as even afterwards he is always available for questions that we have. Thank You Fabian and for anyone that is looking for a trainer I HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Fabian is an excellent trainer. Without ever intending to get a large dog, I rescued one. She needs all kinds of training and Fabian was taught us both a lot! She went to boot camp and now we are following up at home. He really took the time to get to know her and figure her out during the boot camp, and her behavior improved, but as she has gotten healthier and more comfortable new issues have arisen. Fabian is great because he listens and then comes up with solutions. Yesterday we worked on her fear of going for walks. He showed me how to work with her and today we went on our best walk yet; the techniques he teaches really work! I can tell he really loves dogs and I think this is what makes the difference. read more

Over a year ago we adopted Hank from Animal Services. Happy, friendly, loving... we got really lucky with him. Then, as time went on, he started adopting less than favorable habits. Chewing up shoes when we left him at home alone, jumping on kids at the dog park, pulling at the leash during leisurely walks, going into hyper pulling mode in high-traffic areas, and showing signs of anxiety at the sight of an elevator. So, with a big upcoming move ahead of us, we decided to correct some of Hank's behaviors to keep him calm and safe over the months to come. I called Fabian on a whim. I didn't know anything about his service, but after taking a look at his website, he seemed to offer the right kind of training. Everything is based on positive reinforcement and Fabian's calm energy proved to be a perfect match for us and Hank. The consultation was free and Fabian showed up to assess the situation and learn about the goals we had for Hank. Right off the bat, we liked him. He listened really well and his previous years working as a social worker seemed to prepare him to understand humans as well as dogs! Every week we do an hour with Fabian. Just as much as he helps train Hank, he trains us too. We've learned a number of great tips from Fabian and Hank's improved on his pulling, his sit and stay, and his overall confidence as a dog. Since Fabian's training is designed to help Hank in certain specific areas, we've even met him on Lincoln Road to address the high-traffic hyper pulling. He'll meet us at the house and at the dog park too. Overall, I love how flexible he's been with our schedules and how much Hank has improved since working with him. Despite feeling like I knew a lot already about dog training, I've learned a bunch from Fabian. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to train themselves and their pups! read more

Our experience with Fabian was great! He was very professional and knowledgeable. We are very excited for him to train our dog!!
