Top Pet Sitter & Dog Trainer: Den Haag's Finest!

Pet care experience

I have worked as a dog trainer in Italy for 10 years, I have trained small and large, young, adult and elderly dogs. I have done socially useful work in the kennel, favoring the adoption of over 100 dogs, who have found families thanks to my rehabilitation programs. I specialize in Retrievers (mainly Labradors) having attended numerous Nautical Rescue schools alongside my Labrador named "Mya". But still I love and work with every type of dog. I am a former Dog Agility athlete, and in 2022 I competed in the National Finals with my Border Collie named "Jay".

- **Transformation of Ollie**: Antonio's long experience gives him the self confidence to approach any dog and gain their trust, eventually helping dogs like Ollie overcome fearful aggression. Under his guidance, Ollie has remarkably learned to trust and shed his fears. - **Building Trust**: Antonio serves as a coach for both me and my dog. His methods have boosted my self-confidence and enhanced the connection between Ollie and me.. His techniques are evidently effective, as seen in Ollie's progress. - **Gratitude**: My experience with Antonio has been extremely positive, leading to a significant improvement in Ollie's behavior. His methods are not only effective but also foster a deeper bond between the dog and owner. Antonio's ability to transform a dog's behavior through trust-building strategies is commendable. I am deeply grateful for his guidance and the positive changes in Ollie.

We are very happy with Antonio. He is very experienced with dogs, knows how to teach the dogs and correct their behaviors. He also has good observation when he is out with my dog. Most importantly, Stella is very happy with him!

Antonio has walked two times with my pup and it went perfect. He really took his time for my pup and not only walked him, but also trained him, which was very convenient. And he kept me updated with pictures and movies, which really gave me the feeling that my pup was in good hands and having a good time. And my pup looked happy when I got home as well. I would really recommend Antonio!

My dog Blu absolutely loved his walks with Antonio. Antonio took the time to get to know Blu and all of our wishes and needs. He not only took Blu for engaging walks but he also took the time to train Blu and work with some of the issues we were facing. Antonio communicated effectively with us and sent us pictures and videos of Blu to help our training. We look forward to future walks and training sessions.
