Luis Lopez - Owner and head trainer
Founder and lead trainer
Hi, I’m Luis Lopez. I’ve been training dogs for 11 years, and I built this business around one simple idea: real progress happens when training feels clear, kind, and consistent for both you and your dog. I specialize in positive reinforcement and customized behavior coaching, working one on one with each dog in Miami so we can focus on your goals and your dog’s unique personality. I also have experience training service dogs, including psychiatric service tasks and strong public access manners, with an emphasis on reliability in real world environments.
