Your dog is
running the show.
Your dog drags you on walks. Goes crazy when they see other dogs. Ignores you when it matters most. This isn't a bad dog — it's a communication problem. And it's fixable.
"I don't train your dog. I train you."

The Real World
Training Method
I don't teach tricks. I build behavior that holds up in the real world — at the park, in a store, around other dogs. Every session is structured, every rep is intentional, and every owner leaves knowing exactly what to do.
Real dogs.
Real results.
"Tino is an absolutely superb trainer. His number one priority is that you're not hurting your dog while training them. That's a trainer who cares about the dog and about getting it right, not just taking your money."
Jeff Davis
Dog aggression toward other dogs — private sessions
"Not even 5 minutes later, she was a completely different dog. And the difference was permanent. I never could've taken her out in public before him. She loves people and wants to be everyone's best friend."
Jennifer Wilson
Galaxy — fearful/reactive pitbull
"When I first moved to Vegas I had a very reactive dog. Within a short amount of time my dog learned how to listen and follow my lead. I went to every week's class and highly recommend him."
Liz Morey
Reactive dog — group classes + private sessions

If your dog has a behavior problem that's affecting your daily life, I want to hear about it. The first step is a conversation — no pressure, no pitch. Just an honest assessment of what's going on and whether I can help.

I didn't start as
a trainer.
I started as a fan.
I fell in love with pitbulls before I knew anything about training. What drew me in was their tenacity — the way they'd give everything they had to the people they trusted. But I kept seeing them misunderstood, mishandled, and written off. That bothered me.
So I started learning. Not from a weekend certification course, but from years of hands-on work with dogs that other trainers had already given up on. Reactive dogs, fear-aggressive dogs, dogs that had been through things I won't describe here. I learned what works by watching what didn't.
Over the past 20 years I worked with thousands of dogs across the Las Vegas Valley and Los Angeles. I've rescued dozens. I run Sunday group classes in the Las Vegas Valley — many of the dogs arriving completely out of control. And I still believe every single dog is workable if you understand what they actually need.
My approach isn't complicated: clear communication, consistent expectations, and real-world exposure. I don't believe in cookie-cutter programs. I look at the individual dog, the individual owner, and I build something that actually fits.
"I think referrals say it best. I'm humbled, honored and appreciative of what my clients say about us."

There are three programs: 4-Week Private Training at $1,200, the Real World Day Training Program at $2,500 (Monday through Friday for 4 weeks, includes training collar and treat pouch), and the Board & Train In-Home Immersion at $3,200+. The right program depends on your dog's issues, your schedule, and how quickly you want results.
Pitbulls and bully breeds are a specialty here — not a liability. I've spent 20 years working specifically with this breed because I believe in them. If anything, I understand their behavior and temperament better than most trainers you'll find.
Day Training means your dog comes to me Monday through Friday and trains in real-world environments — parks, stores, everyday situations. They go home to you each evening. Board & Train means your dog lives with me for 4 weeks in my home (not a kennel) and trains daily alongside my own dogs. Board & Train produces the fastest, most complete results.
Yes — and that's intentional. Every program includes owner coaching sessions because results only stick when you know how to maintain them. I'm not just training your dog; I'm training you to handle your dog. The go-home transfer session at the end of every program is one of the most important parts.
Possibly, yes. I work with behavior issues that most trainers won't touch. But I do require full disclosure of any bite history or aggression before we start. I assess each dog individually and I'll be honest with you about what's realistic.
Most owners notice meaningful changes within the first two weeks. A full 4-week program builds behavior that holds up under real-world pressure. The key variable is owner follow-through after training ends — results can fade without consistent structure at home.
All training starts with play-based methods — building drive, engagement, and a strong relationship between you and your dog before anything else. I use training tools — including e-collars and prong collars — as communication aids, not punishment. The goal is clarity and consistency, not pain. Every tool is introduced appropriately and only after a foundation of play and positive engagement has been established, with the owner's full understanding and consent. I don't believe in harsh corrections, but I also don't believe in pretending certain tools don't work.
Yes. I run Sunday group classes in the Las Vegas Valley. Group classes are available to clients who have completed at least one private session first — this ensures every dog and handler is prepared before joining the group environment. Group classes are great for socialization and continued obedience work in a real-world setting. For specific behavior issues — reactivity, aggression, recall problems — private sessions or a full program will get you there faster.
