"I will only use Belcaro Canine for any dog training in the future! Max is an outstanding trainer with a decade of experience working with many high drive dog breeds. He is easy to work with, and focuses on training your pet as well as you, the owner. I took my 3 month old Dogo Argentino to Max and within a half hour learned more about handling a high energy dog than I had from any of my research or previous experience. The results were immediate and long lasting. Highly recommend."
