EXCELLENT Based on 74 reviews Dalyla Yebra2025-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience with Alberto! 10/10 recommended. My puppy did amazing with him. The class is mostly for us the owners, I feel my relationship with my dog changed after these sessions. Alberto is pretty knowledgable and helps you navigate the puppy stage. He is reliable, and time flexibility is amazing when you have a busy a schedule.

We HIGHLY recommend. Alberto Mascarenas (Trainer & Owner) is extremely knowledgable and skilled around canine behavior. As a skilled dog trainer, Alberto was able to demonstrate a combination of knowledge, skills and character. He's compassionate, patient and adaptable using positive reinforcement techniques to build trust and encourage desired behaviors. He effectively communicates with both dog and owner and has yielded success with Ajay's training. We completed TWO of his training courses (Puppy Training Program + Advanced Obedience Level 1 Training Program). Look no further for your dog training needs. Weston Dog Academy A+ service!

He helped us so much with our brand new puppy to establish routines and teach the necessary commands to help our puppy acclimate to our home. Alberto was great with communication and very reliable.

Our experience with Weston Dog Academy was outstanding. Alberto is a truly exceptional trainer who connected with our dog, Apollo, almost instantly. We noticed a remarkable improvement in Apollo’s behavior within just the first couple of sessions. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer, I highly recommend Weston Dog Academy. Wanda Crawford2025-05-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience working with Albert, the owner of Weston Dog Training. Our one-year-old Cavapoo, Rocky, received thoughtful, effective, and personalized obedience training that truly exceeded our expectations. Albert’s approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, and his calm, patient demeanor made a big difference, not just for Rocky, but for us as dog owners. What stood out most was how the training was tailored specifically to Rocky’s personality and our family’s needs. Albert took the time to understand our goals and worked with us in a way that was encouraging, consistent, and respectful. As a result, Rocky not only responded quickly to the training but also seems genuinely happier and more confident. We highly recommend Weston Dog Training to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate training. Albert is a true professional, and we’re so grateful for the transformation we’ve seen in our pup! Allyson Love2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so proud of our puppy Joi Love for graduating from the Weston Dog Training Academy! From the very first session, it was clear that Alberto Mascarenas is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about helping dogs and their families. Joi has grown more confident, obedient, and well-mannered thanks to the structure, consistency, and care provided during her training. The sessions were professional, well-paced, and tailored to meet Joi’s specific needs. We saw noticeable improvements in her behavior at home—especially with door boundaries, guest greetings, and overall manners. Alberto’s guidance made all the difference, and we’re grateful for his patience and expertise. Highly recommend Weston Dog Training Academy to anyone looking for top-notch puppy training! david grimaldope2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alberto is an amazing dog trainer with vast knowledge and experience, his great ability to teach me to communicate effectively with my dog. I am grateful to him and to the academy. Hope to continue to learn more advanced things and improve my dog’s learning ability using Alberto’s techniques.

We have a male Belgian Malinois, almost 2 yrs old. 90 lbs of muscle and he thinks he’s a 9 lb puppy. We’ve done some basic training when he was a puppy but busy schedules kept us from being attentive to his training. That’s on us. From the first lesson, Alberto had him dialed in on all of his basic commands. By the end of our training package, we were working on heeling. Alberto tailored our training specifically to Dubbel’s level. We tried several different collars until we found the style that he responds to. We worked through various treats to find what Dubbel considers “high value”. But, we have also worked away from treat rewards to affection rewards. Alberto was thorough in explaining different collars, treats, techniques when to use them and how to alter. It was as much a training for us as for Dubbel. Now, our walks are enjoyable. He sits at the door and waits to be invited out and back in. Minimal to no pulling. He’s focused on us and has low reaction to other dogs and distractions in the neighborhood. Alberto is always quick to answer questions and offer advice even after we completed our package. Our plan moving forward is to work on the lessons we’ve learned so far, identify what skills we’d like to learn or improve and sign up for a future package. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️
