Certified Pet Trainer and Handler

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Sergio. I have extensive experience handling animals and would love to provide safe and enriching care for your pets. I have professional dog training experience and over four years of professional animal handling experience and pet care. I have decided to independently offer in-home house sitting for pets exclusively. I have completed my education and pet training and behavioral modification internship, I am now ready to devote 100% of my time to offering the best possible care for your pet. My only obligation is to you. I am comfortable house sitting for dogs with behavioral issues such as aggression, fear reactivity and dog aggression. For aggressive dogs I require a home consultation which will be provided for free so we can determine as a team, the best house sitting routine to make your pet feel happy and comfortable. For a modest additional cost I can offer a training and behavioral program to help you achieve your training goals. I also offer dog walking packages that will include leash training free of cost. I also offer home care for pet parents with cats and even offer a cat training and behavioral program.

Serj was great! My puppy Han came back happy and you could tell he had a great time! Serj was great at communicating, sending updates, and answering my many questions. Will definitely use his knowledge and services in the future!!

We have two dogs, Pepper and Molly. Pepper is pit mix and Molly is a small terrier cross. Pepper is pretty easy over all, but Molly is so out of control on walks I had stopped takening her out completely because she was barking at every person and dog. Serj has done a board and train for my dogs twice now! One was for a 3 days overnight. The first one we had him work mostly with Molly because of the aggression and barking. She was so much better after just three days. We even had some of the kids friends over the following week without incident. She stopped after a few minutes following the training the trainer showed us to use. Normally we have to have Molly in her crate or in the yard because of the barking. Our next trip my kids and wife took a 2 week vaction to visit some family. We booked with Serj again and asked him to work on both dogs this time. They had so many more commands than before, we haven't even been able to teach pepper to lay down before and she was doing waits at the door and had stopped pulling on a leash. We will definately be having Serj come to out home again next time we go out of town. We had prices other at home trainers and they didn't even include the overnight and the rates were unbelievable! This was a really good value and we are so happy with the results. THANKS SERJ!

My name is Maggie Antonsen, CPDT-KA. I have been a professional dog handler and Behavioral Consultant for over 13 years. I have had the privilege of having Serj as an intern with me for over a year. My experience includes working with famous trainers like Liz Harris featured on Animal Planet. I am an evaluator with the AKC and a Service Dog Evaluator with FSDS as well as an instructor with the Old Pueblo Dog Training Club. Serj has been an incredible person to work with. Not everyone can instinctively read animals and he has an amazing ability to do so. He has always been very professional with both my clients and his. He takes great care in safety and is very empathic. He is extremely knowledgable in the field of Animal Care, Training and Behavioral work. I would recommend him highly in every regard.
