Ares was my service dog for almost two years, since 2020. I swore up and down I studied, I was ready for this dog. I knew I’d need a dog capable of working an 8 hour shift, and still being attentive after. I got a Dutch shepherd, not looking into the breed more than their social abilities, work drive, and handler bonds. We had a good run, he was a bit energetic but I handled him. Then came the first dog that lunged at him while working in 2021, where we’d have multiple instances of a dog lunging at him. I knew he was done when he snapped at a puppy and from there came separation anxiety, dog “aggression”, constant snapping, I felt unsafe having him around anyone he didn’t know, and pushing me to the point I wanted to get rid of him. Mariano and his team were so quick to answer, had the most reasonable prices so we saved up and made it happen. From the eval I could tell Mariano was full of enthusiasm for what he does and genuinely cares about the end game of our dog. Within 3 sessions we learned how why’s to his behaviors, and really got into the depth of what he REALLY needs. We went from 2-2 1/2 hours of running and training and drilling and more training to maybe 45 minutes and he’ll sleep the rest of the day. We went from and insecure dog that couldn’t trust his handler to protect him so he protected himself, to a dog that looks to you to see what YOU want. All because WE got trained the right way. Mariano gave us not only a goal, but a real possibility of independence again. He doesn’t use anything I wouldn’t use on myself, he isn’t scared of a big dog with teeth and “aggression”, he’s built up my dog to manageable, lovable family member. If you’re struggling or at the end of your wits or even just want to learn how to teach your pup something new, 100% recommend. The evaluations are free so it won’t hurt, and you’ll see just how much understanding your k-9 could change your life. Thank you to Mariano for helping us really love our dog again. Less

I never thought it would be possible to walk my dog down the street without him reacting to other dogs. After behavior training with Mariano I'm excited to take my boy on as many walks as he wants!

Untamed has made the difference in our successful Service Dog training! At about 6 months in we needed to have our SD puppy boarded but were also at standstill with training.

Untamed has made the difference in our successful Service Dog training! At about 6 months in we needed to have our SD puppy boarded but were also at standstill with training. The two weeks at UnTamed turned things around, our family learned how to work more effectively and the dog was so much better at trainjng with us. We have used them a few more times and also took advantage of some follow up visits at home. Our dog loves working with the staff and is so excited to see them. You can tell that the owner really knows and understands dogs and training methods and all staff clearly love the animals. Less

Brought our pup Isaac to Mariano and did private lessons and are extremely happy with the results. Isaac is our first dog, and he was generally a good boy, but tended to be a bit anxious and reactive when he passed other dogs on the trail near our house -- so much so that my husband questioned ever walking him again.

Brought our pup Isaac to Mariano and did private lessons and are extremely happy with the results. Isaac is our first dog, and he was generally a good boy, but tended to be a bit anxious and reactive when he passed other dogs on the trail near our house -- so much so that my husband questioned ever walking him again. So at that point we knew we needed to find a trainer that was not only effective, but would care for our concerns and our dog. Now let's get to how Untamed, and Mariano helped us. Mariano was beyond attentive and straightforward about the plan we needed to implement to help Isaac. What we thought would just be leash work to help his reactivity led us to learn the true process that makes a dog attentive and obedient. He set out a great plan over 5 weeks that gave us homework as well to reinforced what we learned and make sure we and Isaac were prepared for our follow-up lesson. This leads me to remind people that you need to put in the work between lessons, because had we not followed this request from Mariano, we would't have gotten Isaac's focus and obedience as fast. The homework Mariano gave us was detailed and straightforward and didn't take much more than 15 minutes a day between sessions. So at this point you are probably wondering why i've left such a detailed review, but it is because of the results. So any person that's read this far is probably a dedicated dog mom or dad and are here for the details of who they are entrusting with the well-being of their dog. Results: Isaac can now walk past any dog on and off leash and stay focused. We can point to a place in our house or friends house and tell him to go to a certain place and he will go sit, and lie there until we release him. He knows heel, right, and middle and even some tricks now as well. These results have helped my relationship with Isaac improve tenfold and help ensure his safety as well. I get comments all the time about how well-behaved Isaac is, and I always tell people that he wasn't always like that, and that I owe it all to Mariano and Untamed. Less

Above and beyond in training and care. Thank you Mariano you are the best!!

I have a dog that over time became aggressive toward strangers and more importantly people at boarding facilities.

I have a dog that over time became aggressive toward strangers and more importantly people at boarding facilities. It got to the point where I was never going to be able to leave my home for a vacation or to visit my grandchild unless I either found a boarding facility that would take him or I put the dog down. I tried several very well regarded trainers but they could never develop a relationship with the dog to get close enough to him to train him. It became such an issue that I had scheduled the appointment to put the dog down. To make sure I exhausted all avenues I made an appointment with Mariano at Untamed Dog to evaluate my dog. Mariano was recommended by one of the previous trainers that didn’t work out. Mariano correctly identified that no other trainer had ever developed a relationship with the dog so that he could “actually” be trained. Mariano felt he could develop that relationship. The day before I was scheduled to put the dog down I dropped him off for a 4 week board and train. That was a close call. The end result was a resounding success. We would meet back with Mariano and our dog weekly to observe the dog’s progress and more importantly to be trained in the activities that we would need to continue upon the dog’s return home to keep his training in place. Untamed Dog also posted progress videos and photos on Instagram which were very helpful. And even though Mariano took a lead role with our dog because of his history he was also able to get his other trainers to build a friendly relationship with our dog which further expanded his progress. I also have another dog who also became an issue with boarding facilities. So I also enrolled him with Untamed Dog for a three week board and train program. He also developed a very strong bond with everyone. Since Untamed Dog also offers boarding to graduates of the their training I now have a happy and safe place to board my dogs for the rest of their lives. I couldn’t be more grateful to Mariano and his team Less

Very friendly and helpful staff.

We adopted a 1 yo doberman that had many issues. Aggressive, lots of energy, impulsive, no manners. Mariano has had him for 3 weeks of boarding/training & he is a new dog. Happy to have chosen unTAMED to salvage our dog.

outstanding trainers, absolutely stellar would recommend to ANYONE!!! TRAINED MY BIG GUY!

He understands dogs really well and explains in great detail their behavior and the things we can do to work on fixing any unwanted behavior. Can't recommend him enough to anyone seeking out training for their dogs. Less

Before sending Shasta to unTamed, I literally couldn’t take her out in public without something embarrassing happening.

Do yourself a favor and send your pup to unTamed early. Less

Mariano was the 3rd trainer that we had gone to with our reactive bull terrier. Not only had we not seen any improvement after working with the other trainers, but his aggressive behavior had gotten worse. It was heart breaking to watch our dog's world shrink as slowly we had to stop doing certain activities with him as his aggression and reactivity continued to worsen. We took Lenny (our dog) to an evaluation session with Mariano and McKenna, and for the first time since we started attempting to train him, we we're given some hope that he was trainable. We left Lenny with Mariano for a 3 week board and train program. His trainers and him used social media to post lessens they we're working with him as well as general updates that helped us keep up to date easily, especially while we we're out of country for 8 days. The dog we picked up after the 3 weeks was completely different than the one we dropped off. We immediately saw a big reduction in his reactivity to other people and dogs, and had some tools and techniques to correct behaviors if he started to slip, and continue his training at home. We attended an alumni class the day after picking him up, which was perfect for our situation, since it was clear I needed as much training in handling a reactive dog as Lenny did. After this experience I would recommend unTAMED Dog Co. ( and already have) to anyone seeking any level of training for their dog. Less

Mariano is a top notch dog trainer. We have a very stubborn Bernedoodle & Mariano trainer him (and taught is how to train him) as a very well behaved & obedient puppy. Mariano is fantastic with dogs; he is warm, loving, but also firm so they understand good behavior. He is truly an expert in the field. I highly recommend him for boarding too; he will take great care of your pup!

I have a 9 month old Golden Retreiver named Sami. She is my little girl and since the passing of my Mother in June, has been my little shadow. Going to work with me daily during the pandemic has been a blessing, but now that we are opening up to the public a bit more, she gets so excited to see people that I was forced to find a Trainer that would focus on respect and behavior, but not break Sami's amazing spirit. I found Mariano and the Untamed Team by way of a simple business card at our Vet's office. I just about broke me to let her go for a month, but the Untamed Team performed in every way and more that I had wished for. I am so grateful and would like to say that the Training provided to Sami was worth every penny. She still has the same beautiful spirit and is all that I need her to be when around people and the distractions she faces every day. I'm sure that there is more that she could learn, but for now she is exactly what I need. Less

Mariano, McKenna, and the team at Untamed Dog Co. are absolutely incredible. My dog Elfo is a rescue with an abuse history and has had behavioral issues since I rescued him.

Mariano, McKenna, and the team at Untamed Dog Co. are absolutely incredible. My dog Elfo is a rescue with an abuse history and has had behavioral issues since I rescued him. He barked incessantly at anyone new, nipped at ankles (he’s part Pit so the biting was concerning) and because I don’t personally have any experience with training dogs he didn’t even know basic commands. Elfo spent three weeks with Untamed. He came home today and he’s more relaxed, better behaved, and starting to understand that it’s my job to protect him. Not only do Mariano and his team train the dogs, but they train the owners as well. He gave me a much more in depth insight into why my dog behaves the way he does and helped me to understand the reasoning behind the techniques they use. I cannot thank Mariano and his team enough. It’s incredible to see the change in Elfo. I honestly was skeptical that he could be trained at the start. But, Untamed was nothing short of amazing. He’s still the same loving boy. But he’s now discipled, obedient, and I feel much more in control. I have already given the information for Untamed to quite a few friends and don’t plan on stopping. It can be difficult to find quality trainers and I spent a lot of time looking. I would recommend Untamed to anyone who needs a dog trainer without hesitation. They not only have a firm hand when it comes to training but they do it in a loving way that Elfo was very receptive to. I was able to see how much Elfo trusted and cared for everyone that worked there. We’re so excited to continue with his training at home and with our follow up lessons, and weekend classes! You guys are the best! Thank you for training not just my baby but me as well! Less

Mariano isn’t just about churning dogs through his program, he works with the dogs and the owners to build a strong foundation for ongoing success. He teaches the philosophy of training not just the commands. Both Skye and Luna went through his 3 week board and train and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They are only 4 and 6 months old so they have some great basics established now We will continue to work with Mariano for ongoing training for Skye and Luna. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He truly cares about the dogs he trains and about building as successful relationship between pets and owners. We were so blessed to find him. Less

Super friendly, great work and genuinely seems to care about the dogs and their wellbeing

We had ave had the best experience with Mariano and staff Julia. Our 10 week Aussiedoodle was out of control with biting and nipping. Put her in 2 week board and train program and after one week she is so much better. So grateful! Professional, organized and obvious they love dogs. Great environment. So pleased.

I would give Mariano more than 5 stars if I could.

He was my 4th trainer for my very fearful chihuahua mix rescue, a dog who could not handle the wind blowing on him or an airplane flying overhead without shutting down. No trainer had yet been able to touch him, he would not accept treats from any of them. Mariano was able to pet him, give him treats and teach him the down position within the first 1/2 hr of meeting him. Mariano gives the structure and discipline that every dog needs and craves. My pup did a month board and train with him in June and Mariano’s services are still available to me to help continue the work on my pup (he is so much better in every aspect from Knowing his commands to the walk to Not fearing every little thing). Mariano is well versed in all aspects of training a dog and will customize his approach to your dog’s needs. My biggest regret is to assume one method of training was the only way to go.. I was talked into that with my 3rd trainer before Mariano and assumed that he knew best. He wasted my time and cost me $1500. Go with Mariano you won’t regret it. Less

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep him. But then we met with Mariano. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. He listened to everything we had to say. He walked us through a step-by-step structured program and gave us specific homework to work on every week. He frequently texted to check in on how we were doing. He was very flexible with scheduling. To be honest, I was initially skeptical of using an e-collar, but Mariano showed us how to use it safely, and I definitely think it helped. In just five weeks, Wyatt was a completely different dog. He walks nicely on a leash. He can calm down and be patient when I tell him to. He comes when I call, every time. And he doesn't frighten visitors any more! My stress level has decreased significantly. I'm looking forward to a long happy life with Wyatt. Mariano is absolutely the best dog trainer I have ever worked with. Less

Mariano’s dog training package comes with 4 additional training sessions after the 3 weeks to brush up on skills and teach new ones.

Mariano did an amazing job training our dog. We bought a labradoodle puppy and, thanks to his great training, she is well disciplined and obeys well. I would highly recommend Mariano to my friends and for any type of dog. He has a calm approach and it shows that he loves all dogs.

Mariano is great! We let him take control of our French Bulldog for three whole weeks. It was strange not having our baby in the house, but when it was time for pick-up it was like we had a whole new dog. Everyone knows French Bulldog’s are extremely stubborn and set in their own ways but Mariano was able to reverse this. Before we took Kai to Mariano he did not sit, lay down, walk on a leash, stay calm with other dogs, or stay in place for longer than a second. Now Kai can be walked off-leash, he sits, stays, ALMOST rolls over, stays in place, and can be in a huge crowd of dogs and not get antsy or aggressive with any of them. I highly recommend Mariano’s services! Less
