“My husband and I had the pleasure of having Rodrigo train our Golden Retriever, Luna. She needed some advanced obedience training and it did not disappoint!! Not only is Rodrigo an amazing trainer, but he’s kind, dedicated and the detail he puts into his training is phenomenal. My husband and I would recommend him to anyone!

Thank you Rodrigo for taking such great care of Luna, and turning her into such an amazing dog!

45 K9 all the way!!!!!”

“I cannot thank Rodrigo enough for the time and dedication he put into our dog. Our puppy Mookie learned so much during his 6 weeks there and is an incredible listener at only 6 months old! He is now a lot easier to walk, especially for my kids, but he also comes when called and even leaves kid toys and food alone that are on the floor. Our puppy was loved and cared for like he was their own-he became a part of their family. It was very helpful that he has children who are involved, when appropriate, to help the dog learn new skills. This training is the best investment I have made in a LONG time and it was 100% worth it. My family has commented when they come over to see the dog that he’s “like a whole different puppy!” Rodrigo’s communication during training was excellent, it was obvious he wants the dogs he trains to succeed..and the owners too. Thank you again FortyFive K9!!!”

“As our puppy was getting bigger and stronger, we quickly learned that he needed training. Moose was pulling on his leash, counter surfing, jumping up on people, had no name recall and generally was not a good listener. Rodrigo was highly recommended to us and we are so thankful for the recommendation! Within the first few days of Moose’s training we were extremely impressed by what he had already learned. Throughout the weeks, we received many updates and videos of how Moose was doing. By the end of training we had a brand new dog - he was so well behaved and was such a great listener. He now walks calmly by our side, doesn’t counter surf, keeps his paws on the ground around people, even guests arriving at our home. He also has great name recall to whomever is calling him. Overall, Moose came home behaving like the dog we’ve always dreamed of. Friends and family have also commented on how well behaved he is and how enjoyable he is to be around. Rodrigo is an amazing trainer who truly cares about your pet and treats them like his own. We cannot thank Rodrigo enough and strongly recommend FortyFive K9!!”

“My rescue Aussie, Gus, was struggling with leash pulling, door bolting, poor recall, and a strong prey drive, but under Rodrigo’s skilled and patient care, the difference in Gus is like night and day. I am grateful Gus was trained in a family setting with personalized attention, and I received regular updates that kept me connected throughout the process. Rodrigo didn’t just train Gus, he taught me how to confidently continue the work at home and made himself available for any needed follow-up. I can’t recommend Rodrigo enough. Thanks to his help, Gus has found his forever home.”

“Rodrigo came highly recommended and after realizing we wouldn’t have the time or energy to train our golden to become the best behaved pup we wanted, we sent her off for the 4 week on-leash program. He sent us videos and updates almost every day and we were astonished at how quickly she improved, especially with walking (our biggest challenge).

He was also quick to respond to any and all questions in great detail when I reached out before drop off, and continues to now that we’ve got her back. She’s such a joy to walk and play with now, and certainly an easier experience for our 11 year old who wanted to, but couldn’t walk her before the training.

Much appreciated, Rodrigo!”

“Our puppy Greta stayed with them for six weeks for a board-and-train program, living in their home and becoming part of their family. From the start with daily updates, it was clear how much care, structure, and attention Greta was getting. Greta came back to us beyond anything we imagined. Her obedience, focus, and overall behavior improved dramatically. She now understands and reliably responds to commands, walks beautifully, and seems much more confident and calm. Rodrigo came highly recommended, and I loved that Greta lived in a real home environment with daily structure, socialization, and consistent expectations. Rodrigo also did a great job teaching us how to continue reinforcing the training once Greta came home. If you’re considering professional training for your dog, I cannot recommend Rodrigo highly enough!”
