We loved our zen dog puppy class with Dario and had looked forward to it every week. Me and my pup have learned a lot that we’ll take away and continue with on our training journey, but the difference with my pup in just those 6 weeks was incredible. I highly recommend enrolling here with your dogs

My sweet but spicy puppy Lulu and I began training with ZDT in April 2026 when she was about 12 weeks old. I have participated in both in-home and class training. Having Gordon work with Lulu at home has been one of the most important parts of my Puppy Journey. These experiences have helped me become more calm and confident while shaping a more positive environment for Lulu. The Ivy League Puppy classes with Dario have been so positive, structured and fun! I am amazed at the progress I’ve seen and the transformative experiences we continue to have. I cannot recommend ZDT highly enough—They are extremely professional and experienced with fantastic support and resources....read full review

Gordon came to our home for a session with our corgi, Maisel, and it was exactly what we needed. His techniques were effective and made immediate sense, not just for Maisel, but for us as owners. He has a real gift for teaching the humans as much as the dog, so you actually know what to do after he leaves. What struck us most was the trust he builds with the dog, with the owners, and in the process itself. Maisel took to him right away, and we left the session feeling genuinely confident. Highly recommend for anyone looking for in-home training in the Boston area.
