About The Human Dog Team
The Human Dog Team, led by Gonzalo, specializes in supporting dog owners to build strong, harmonious relationships with their canine companions. They offer a variety of training services, including private sessions, K9 Pack School, hybrid board and train, group classes, and virtual coaching. The approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and an understanding of natural dog behavior. Many clients have expressed deep gratitude for the services received. One client shared their experience with Chef, their 3-year-old lab who struggled with leash reactivity and anxiety. After trying multiple trainers and behaviorists, they turned to Gonzalo. He tailored a training program that resulted in quick improvements, making walks and outings enjoyable for both the dog and owners. Another client, with two rescue puppies, faced challenges with severe fear and reactivity in their dogs. After working with Gonzalo, they gained confidence and developed a peaceful home environment. The client's bond with their dogs was greatly improved, showcasing Gonzalo's ability to create soul-deep relationships built on trust and communication. The Human Dog Team focuses on building strong bonds between humans and dogs while teaching effective communication and understanding. They provide practical tips, valuable insights, and ongoing support, making the training process smooth and enjoyable. Gonzalo's dedication and genuine love for dogs make him stand out as a trainer, especially for those with unique or sensitive dogs. His methods are not one-size-fits-all but tailored to meet the individual needs of each dog and owner, ensuring a rewarding training experience.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible services provided by The Human Dog Team. Our dog was struggling with aggressive behavior, resource guarding, difficulty eating, and conflicts with our cats. Cleaning her ears or giving her medicine was nearly impossible. After trying another dog trainer and multiple "online solutions" and techniques, we found Gonzalo. From the very first session, it was evident that Gonzalo has a great understanding of animal behavior and that each dog requires a specific approach. By teaching us how to properly feed, walk, and adjust the rewards, we noticed changes in the very first week. Over time, the issues started to fade away; suddenly, we didn't have a dog that refused treats or needed "toppings" to eat dinner. She is now friends with our cat, the walks are smooth, and the hikes are amazing. The training sessions were not just about obedience; they were about building a strong bond between us and our furry friend, teaching us how to communicate and understand our girl. Gonzalo provided practical tips, valuable insights, and ongoing support that made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We can finally have peace at home, and we owe it all to The Human Dog Team. If you're looking for a dog trainer who goes above and beyond, Gonzalo is the one to choose. His expertise, dedication, and genuine love for dogs make him a standout professional in the field.
If you need a dog trainer – call Gonzalo! He helped me and my dog peanut through so much and also is such a good and friendly soul. Gonzalo has worked with us through so many issues including aggression on leash, extreme insecurity, growling at strangers and separation anxiety. We also worked a lot on peanut's independence. He helped me to bond with my rescue puppy and to finally understand my dog. I started to train Peanut with Gonzalo just two weeks after I got him – and I still can't believe how far we've come. He helps you to really understand your dog's needs and problems – and how to solve them. During Peanut's training I always felt that Gonzalo is extremely caring about the well-being of the dog and the owner. Gonzalo not only knows what he is talking about professionally, but he is also wonderful as a human being. The human dog team gives you all the tools to build a relationship. Also you can always count on a text or call back – no matter when and what.
Love Gonzalo and all the help he provided up with our territorial puppy, Fernie. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he teaches and no matter how difficult - he gives us awesome lessons to implement at home. Fern loves hanging out with Gonzalo too! Can't recommend him enough.
