Dawgz & Stripes did wonders for our energetic goldendoodle went from a mouthy, excitable and behavior problem puppy to a well-behaved dog with confidence. Kristi taught us how to bring out the best in our dog. We had no idea how much potential he had! As owners, we were taught how to solve behavior problems by breaking down training into mini-steps. Our dog absolutely loved the boarding classes and we’re not sure who learned more, he or us!

Over the years I have had the distinct pleasure of working with many great professionals in the working dog world. However, Frank is one of the absolute best professionals & behavioralists I’ve been able to work with! He really knows dog psychology & is proactive in his approach in working with troubled dogs. I absolutely love the fact that he takes the time to discover why the dog is behaving the way it is. Rather than the quick fix shock & bark collar methods. He believes without truly understanding the dog behaviors & its tied previous life experiences there’s no authentic way of resolving the present behavior. He truly is a class act. He’s not only about the dog but also the person & family as well. I highly recommend their training!

Dawgz & Stripes were great to work with and we are very happy with the training our Golden Retriever received. Our trainer, Katy, was fantastic! She took time to answer all of our questions and provided us with videos for future review and reference.

Frank, we had our final meeting with Kristi. I am very happy and hopeful. I feel we have the tools we need to proceed. It will require some concentrated effort on our part but the rewards are worth it. We missed her and are so happy to have her home. Kristi has been great and very responsive. We couldn't be happier.

I've had my dog back for just a few days but already noticed some pretty big changes. She's a better listener and my biggest concern with her not being well crate trained (since I live in a quiet apartment complex) has been totally resolved. She does not bark or whine in her crate anymore which is such a relief. Kristi is wonderful to work with and so knowledgable about dogs. I love her approach and that the training is sustainable for me to continue at home. I had a lot of anxiety before I made the decision to send my pup to be trained with Dawgz and Stripes but I am SO glad I did. Theres just WAY too much information out there on how to best train your dog so this was really good for us to get on the same page and set me and my pup up for success moving forward. Can't say enough good things!

Manny has worked wonders with our 8 month old Doberman puppy. He was out of control, counter surfing, jumping all over the furniture, just being really naughty 24/7. Now he's a joy to be around, super well-behaved, much more calm and has mastered basic obedience. I can't recommend Manny highly enough!

Thank you so much Manny and Mary. You made such a major positive impact on my Bella and myself 💕I went from looking to have her put down, for her aggressiveness toward myself and husband. I'm so glad I made the call to Dawgz & Stripes. Training with you has made a tremendous difference in her, she is now a confident, happy, well behaved and loving companion. You taught me how to become the alpha! Your breathing techniques helped me with my anxiety in all aspects in my life. THANK YOU!!You kept me involved in the daily videos, that showed me so much helpful ways to train her. You both treated her as if she was your fur baby. And the love and trust she had for you two, showed in the video's.I recommend 100% to anyone who wants to have their fur baby trained, use Dawgz & Stripes!Thank you for treating us like family.❤️❤️

I have had the pleasure of having Manny train my Belgian Malinois. From the first day speaking with him you can hear the passion and love he has for these amazing animals. Speaks so highly of them, they are the best companions! So smart and high energy and super loyal. He educated me and my wife so much about them we didn’t know.Manny helped me so much I can’t thank him enough. It is a night and day difference with my dog. He has answered all of my questions and has helped me understand with the knowledge he has. With his experience and love he has given I can be sure it was the best decision. Knowing that I can ask for help if anything that comes up makes my mind at ease.He is an excellent trainer! Can’t recommend him enough. If you want your dog to be trained, Manny is the best!! From basic obedience to advanced he offers everything to be there for you and your needs.Thank you Manny I appreciate everything you did for me and my family. We are so happy!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Dawgz and Stripes, and I can’t express how amazing our experience has been!Manny has worked wonders with our little guy. Manny delivers what he says and stands behind his word.There are many dog trainers out there, but few are as wonderful as Manny. He truly cares about our little guy and wants us and him to have a very happy and successful life together.His commitment to creating well-mannered, confident, and happy dogs truly shines through.

Dawgz & Stripes was amazing. Our Dobbie came home a new dog. Very well mannered and behaved. We got a second dog and we’re able to apply the what we learned during our training with our new Dobbie too. It has been great!

We had a great experience with Frank and Kristi for the training of Clutch our Mini Aussie. It’s our 1st puppy and we weren’t sure how to go by the entire process but Frank and Kristi made us feel very confortable. Clutch stayed full time with Kristi for 3 full weeks and she came back transformed in a positive way. She needed guidance to be more obedience. We were at 1st concerned to have to let Clutch for 3 weeks but it was worth it. Kristi was communicative with us and kept sending us video to update us on Clutch well being and progresses. It was great. Thank you Kristi and Dawgz and stripes.

Kristi changed my dog's life. I have a large dog 100LB+ who is insecure and aggressive. In 4 weeks, Kristi completely got him back on track and he is now a different dog. I have my work set out for me, but I could never imagine Leo would be doing so well. The constant teaching videos and watching him grow was amazing for me and my girls to observe. I very much trust Kristi and highly recommend her. Frank was very helpful when I was coordinating the 4-week training. At that time, I was very upset with my dog's behavior. Frank calmed me and had Kristi change Leo's life Forever.Fantastic, Caring, Loving work by Kristi. Thank you from my family's heart.

Manny is an excellent dog trainer. Our Doberman is now able to walk a whole lot better when he goes on walks with my husband and she listens to the commands that were taught to her by Manny. We would recommend Manny to anyone who needs to have their dog or puppy trained by an experienced dog trainer.. Thsnk you Manny for all your help.

I am super pleased with Manny and his wife (the ultimate photographer) for working with my German Shepard (Kodi). Manny is very professional and knowledgeable. I plan on returning Kodi in 30 days for more advanced training. Manny will send videos while your dog is in training; showing you the dog’s progress, as well as, providing educational tools for you, as the owner of the dog, to practice while the dog is in training. I have homework as well during this 30 day, at home, training cycle. I’m very grateful and highly recommend Manny as a dog training expert. Kodi Blue (code blue) will see you in 30 days. Don’t give away her spot!!!! :)

I highly recommend Dawgz & Stripes! Manny is an amazing trainer! He trained my Malinois in basic obedience, advanced obedience and protection. I absolutely enjoy the connection I have with my dog! She is so well behaved I can take her anywhere with no worries. I have traveled with her across the country, hiked mountains, gone into pet friendly stores and restaurants never having a problem. That being said she has stopped several threats and has kept me safe. Manny also trained my Boston Terrier through advanced obedience. I always get compliments on how well behaved my dogs are in public. Thank you Manny!Michelle H.

I adopted an American Bully which was rescued from an illegal dog fight ring, due to this background she is very aggressive to other dogs and also humans that she doesn’t know. It was to a point that I couldn’t even take her out for a walk or have friends visiting. I tried several dog trainers but the result was not that great. I came across Manny and decided to give it one last try. Two weeks of board and train, my dog came back completely different. Manny is very professional and knowledgeable, he taught me how to work with my dog and he is very patient. Most importantly, he does this not as a job, he actually have the passion and love for these dogs, my dog is always happy seeing him and this says a lot. If you want the best trainer, look nowhere else, here is the one right here
