  Vladae is the most professional, knowledgeable expert in dog training. Truly the dog whisperer. Our mouthy, hyper dog has been transformed with his three important steps: 1. Vladae as expert teacher 2. Hard work and homework 3. A dog with a good personality. Vladae answered all of our questions and had our dog walking off leash and following all commands in busy public places like the Irvine Spectrum center. It’s like he says, “You don’t have a bad dog, you just need Vlad!” Thanks you Vlad! Our sweet dog, Remi is truly “driving like a Ferrari” and we love that she can travel and come with us everywhere! ❤️

  Being the first time dog owner, we have a lot to learn and have ZERO idea how to train a puppy. Even though we watched tons of dog training video on YouTube, it doesn’t really help when it comes to the real life practical stuff! As our pup, Charlie, an Australian Mountain doodle, grows bigger, we realize we REALLY need to get him trained properly and trained the right way. He was constantly pulling on leash when we walk him, he would bark at dogs ACROSS the street, and jumps up on strangers and people. 🤦🏻
  
  We are so glad we found SoCal Dog Training through referral of a good friend, and after reading some glowing reviews, we decided to work with Vladae. He is the founder, owner and award winning celebrity trainer of SoCal Dog Training. We are so glad we made the decision! Vladae is a true professional and cares deeply about his clients and his fur students. Vladae has his unique but effective way of communicating and training dogs, and he is patient in teaching us all the details and answer all our questions. He has a process of interviewing his clients through FaceTime and evaluating the dog behavior to ensure a successful result.
  
  We had 4 classes and we went through essential commands of sit, come, down, how to walk with leash and work through walking without leash under tons of distractions in a shopping mall. It was an incredible journey and we witnessed an wonderful transformation of our puppy. The key to success is to truly trust Vladae’s method and teaching, trust the process and most importantly make sure you practice and practice at home between lessons. Practice makes perfect and Vladae will not accept anything less than perfect :)
  
  It’s been a very rewarding experience for us working with Vladae and we are so happy with the result with Charlie now being very well trained and well behaved. We can literally take him anywhere with us without problems whatsoever. If you are on the fence about working with Vladae, I would definitely recommend him. Go for it, you will not regret it! And you will get to enjoy your dog’s companionship for a very long time.

  We were going on a vacation when we decided to enroll our 6 year old Labrador Retriever on a Private bootcamp with Vladae.
  We only had a few days notice of booking before our trip, but Vladae still accommodated our dog.
  
  Our dog had a previous 2week board and train with another trainer, but we never saw a dramatic improvement. The only thing our dog learned was the command “sit”. Our yellow lab is very friendly to everybody to the extent that he always pulls and wants to jump on every dog and person he sees whenever we take him for a walk. Walking him hasn’t been very easy.
  
  During his private bootcamp with Vladae at his home. He was treated like their own family. We received photos, videos and updates on a daily basis even we’re overseas which we appreciate a lot.
  
  When it’s time to pick up our dear Walter(our dog) he allocated about 2 hours of his time to instruct my husband and teach him his ways of training our dog. To our surprise our Walter isn’t the same dog that we left with him 2 weeks prior. Our very hyperactive dog became a service dog that we can walk OFF-LEASH! Isn’t that amazing?
  
  Vladae is heaven sent to our family, not mentioning he considers us his family too. I would say he’s very strict, but that’s what you would expect from a world-class trainer; but in the end, everything will be worth it. But of course, it won’t stop there; as the owners of our dog have the responsibility to continue what Vladae has started, we have to follow and do the homework he gives us. He follows up all the time on our progress with our dog. We love Vladae and our family is very grateful for Vladae! He truly is a Russian Dig wizard, our Walter is the proof to it!

  Our dog, Tex, completed boot camp a few months ago and is doing fantastic. We’re so thankful for Vladae’s patience, hard work, and expertise; it made a world of difference for us. If you are searching for training and guidance with your pup, Vladae’s knowledge and skill are unmatched. His training program was an absolute game-changer for us and we’re incredibly thankful we (including Tex) are able to work with him.

  I am so thankful that we found SoCal Dog Training. We learned from the best - Vladae! He helped us understand our dog's needs and pinpointed exact solutions for various situations. With his guidance and our commitment to following through with what he taught us, our dog has come so far! We now have her following commands off-leash which we all enjoy. -Great investment for a very deserving dog that will last her lifetime!!!
