They are the BEST!!!! Emily and Mariano are the best. I will not send any future puppies to anyone else but them.

Amazing trainer and guide in the dog world

We love Emily and Mariano at unTAMED Dog Co. We had tried other trainers to help our very leash aggressive dog and were feeling like we were never going to be able to have him be with us when we went hiking or out and about. He was so aggressive, one day he nearly turned a patio table over at a restaurant when a dog walked by.Today, he is able to see a dog walk past and have a very minor reaction... More

We love Emily and Mariano at unTAMED Dog Co. We had tried other trainers to help our very leash aggressive dog and were feeling like we were never going to be able to have him be with us when we went hiking or out and about. He was so aggressive, one day he nearly turned a patio table over at a restaurant when a dog walked by.Today, he is able to see a dog walk past and have a very minor reaction--or no reaction at all. We sat at our favorite coffee house patio and chatted with a woman who had her dog with her. With minor help from us, he self-corrected and sat quietly while we talked.They are phenomenal; they have trained our sweet dog and us! We are all still a work in progress, but now we know that there is a perfect ending close in sight! Less

Mariano is a stud! Very reliable trainer and overall great human being !

Mariano is the best at what he does! Him and his team are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. My dog Milo is a reactive rottie, pit, Great Dane mix . I went through about 5 trainers before Mariano, and none of them were able to produce any results. So many times I contemplated rehoming my dog because of how reactive he can be.

Mariano is the best at what he does! Him and his team are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. My dog Milo is a reactive rottie, pit, Great Dane mix . I went through about 5 trainers before Mariano, and none of them were able to produce any results. So many times I contemplated rehoming my dog because of how reactive he can be. I found Mariano and did a board and train with Milo. He has been the only trainer to produce positive results. The one goal I wanted was to just be able to take Milo on a walk. Not only can I do that, Milo listens to my commands and has just done a complete 180. I also love that after doing the board and train, I can board Milo when needed to go out of town. I can’t recommend Mariano and Untamed enough! Less

Mariano did an amazing job with our dog. In a 6 week board and train our dog did a full 180 from disobeying commands and being uncontrollable on walks to listening to every command and giving us hope that he can be around other dogs and people.

Very knowledgeable! Normally boarding a reactive dog is very stressful but untamed helped me feel confident boarding my dog for a week!

Now, I am so confident walking him around other people, his recall is nearly perfect and overall his (and my) confidence has significantly improved.

Mariano, Lincoln and the entire staff are incredible! We did a board and train for our rescue dog who has anxiety and fear based aggression. Throughout the entire experience they have been patient and explained every step of the process while arming us with the tools to help our dog. I love being able to board him there because going out of town used to be a stressful experience not knowing how he would do, but I love knowing he is safe and cared for with them. He also does not like going to new places and usually is stressed however whenever we bring him there he is happy and is always excited when we go. Before coming here we had worked with another trainer but still struggled with walking and crate training. He walks nicely on his leash (not a perfect heel but he’s pretty close) and sleeps/eats in his crate which in itself is a miracle. Truly they have been a game changer and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone. We plan to bring our other dogs for training as well and continuing training. If you’re considering a professional trainer for your dog - I can’t recommend unTAMED enough! Less

Ares was my service dog for almost two years, since 2020. I swore up and down I studied, I was ready for this dog.

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

My fur baby did 3 weeks in the board and train program. While I did miss him everyday, my anxiety was at ease knowing he was around amazing people. At the initial consultation I knew this was the right place for my dog to be. At the 7 day mark I was able to come in to see him. The amount of change in 7 days blew me out the water. I was thoroughly impressed (and that's not easy to do). Regularly posted Instagram videos had me cradling my phone teary eyed looking at his progress. At the final lesson I was wondering wHo'S dOg iS tHiS?!? And I am telling you (in my Jennifer Hudson voice) UnTAMED Dog Co. is top tier! Now let's shift gears for a minute. Of course the focus is on the dog but hell, they whipped me into shape too!

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.

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

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

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. 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

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.

Mariano is incredible! We had a very high energy high drive cattle dog mix that we knew we need to ensure he had structure and was well trained. We met with Mariano and he was very patient as our Hitch and immediately knew it was the right fit. We did the two week board and train. Hitch came back a different dog. Before he was wild, reckless, biting hands and angles, would spiral into manic states and would not get a hold with other dogs. He was return to us able to focus, able to calm himself down from the manic state with direction, the biting and nipping was almost gone entirely and was prepared to come with us in public following good etiquette of heel, sit, down, place. Afterwards Mariano continued to support our learning with the follow up lessons and now his group follow up trains with other owners and their dogs who have gone through one of his training programs. I have never seen or experienced someone who is as dedicated, patient and knowledge about dogs and the psychology behind ensuring everyone is setup for success. I would recommend Untamed to anyone who has a new puppy, adult dog needing to change behavior or learn new ways or for owners with great dogs who they themselves need to understand how to be responsible owners. If you are considering training or board and train, you’ve got your place. The in home structure is welcoming and perfectly designed. I have to put a plug in for McKenna as well because she definitely is a big part of the process! Less

No trainer had yet been able to touch him, he would not accept treats from any of them.

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

Mariano did a fantastic job training our dog. He is our ‘Dog Whisperer’ –our Wyatt is a different dog after being with Mariano for three weeks. Wyatt is much calmer, confident and disciplined now. Mariano trains in a professional, firm and loving way. This experience has strengthened our relationship with Wyatt because Mariano also trained us! We now can confidently play and train with Wyatt because we know what and how to do it. All three of us are very appreciative of Mariano and his awesome training skills! Thank you, Mariano!! Mike, Janette and Wyatt Less

Before Mariano, Wyatt was a nightmare. He was aggressive towards other dogs. He barked constantly. He jumped on people. We dropped out of the PetSmart training class because it just wasn't working. 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.

Before Mariano, Wyatt was a nightmare. He was aggressive towards other dogs. He barked constantly. He jumped on people. We dropped out of the PetSmart training class because it just wasn't working. 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

Our Blue Heeler puppy started to become very aggressive and protective in the house and even bit a friend when he came into my room unannounced. We were terrified that our puppy would eventually bite a stranger or child and needed to correct this quickly.

Our Blue Heeler puppy started to become very aggressive and protective in the house and even bit a friend when he came into my room unannounced. We were terrified that our puppy would eventually bite a stranger or child and needed to correct this quickly. After a thorough consultation with Mariano and 5 weeks of lessons, our pup is a whole different dog now. He went from trying to run our house to now being calm and obedient. Mariano was easy to get along with and very loving to our dog. He trained my fiance and I even more than he had to train our puppy and now we feel in control. I really liked that he gave us daily "homework" to do in between our weekly lessons. If you do the work and listen to Mariano, this program really works! We highly recommend Mariano. Less

We couldn’t have found a better dog trainer for our golden doodle Maple! After reading Marino’s bio - I knew immediately he is passionate about what he does.

(VERY fair pricing)Although it was hard to leave her that long, I wouldn’t change a thing! Maple is the most obidient puppy I have ever had now! She loves practicing her new tricks. Mariano’s dog training package comes with 4 additional training sessions after the 3 weeks to brush up on skills and teach new ones. This is very needed because not only do our pets need training, but us owners need training on how to continue practicing what they have learned.I highly, highly recommend Marino for any of your dog training needs. We have a 2 year old golden retriever who we will be bringing to him next! Less

Mariano has came to Our home for the 3 lessons we have done so far and we are so happy with what he has taught us and Copper our Dobermann. I contacted other trainers and did not feel very comfortable with them. Copper loves it when Mariano comes over for our lessons, he gets extremely excited and is eager to learn. Once Mariano leaves, I continue to apply what he has taught me and Copper picks up on it quickly. I highly recommend Mariano and am excited to continue our lessons with him as he is very personable with us and our dog. He is a great dog trainer. Less

Money well spent! My wife and I did a board and train for 2 weeks with 2 of our dogs. The dogs we got back were definitely not the dogs we dropped off! They were so well behaved, and they have still retained the training now months after the program! Mariano really understands the psychology of the dogs and how to work with dogs at any level.

Mariano is the best! When I got Jack he was a traumatized rescue who was aggressive because of his fear and insecurity. But with Mariano’s help, he is happy and well-trained. Hire Mariano, follow his training (for both you and your dog!), and you will be amazed at the results. There are no bad dogs, but there are plenty of people who don’t know what to do to help their dog. Thanks to Mariano, ... More

I can not recommend Mariano enough! He is professional, reliable, a true dog behaviorist and will do what is best for your dog! He communicates very well and takes the time to teach you how to deal with your dog’s issues, agression, anxiety, bad habits etc. Which in turn makes you enjoy your dog more! We love you Mariano!...

After years of trainers and even boarding my dog at Cesar Milan’s facility, Mariano has been the only trainer that has been able to tame my Siberian Husky in a positive manner, where she actually looks happy and calm rather than scared into submission. While it’s still difficult to maintain her in this state at all times, we have learned how to achieve it and a little time with Mariano, now and again, and she always seems 100% again. He is the only trainer she has taken to and felt entirely confident and happy to obey, which is just amazing to see. I doubt I can ever give her what he can, but we aspire, nevertheless, and she has made amazing improvement, which has made life so much less stressful. Less

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

You couldn't find better people to train you & your pups. I highly recommend them not only for training but also as a great place for boarding.
