Rancho Santa Fe, California

I’m writing to recommend my trainer, Emilio Marotta ... I found him through the Aztec Doberman Pinscher Club in San Diego. For the past 7 weeks, he has been helping me with Piper. My last Dobie, Charlotte, was a sweet and easygoing girl, and Piper is definitely more energetic and challenging. I needed someone who understood the breed and it turns out I was the one who needed the most training! I did try a puppy class at a local facility, and while I did like them, I needed more personal attention. She was so distracted and unfocused there, and now she is a completely different dog when I take her out in public.
One of the other things he has helped me with is getting closer to my goal in training Piper as a therapy dog. I thought that she was way too high in energy, but he has helped me understand how to lead her properly and much about dog behavior as well.
I usually don’t go out of my way to write letters like this, but I’ve been truly happy with how he has helped me. I think that if dog owners knew how to properly train their dogs, there would be fewer dogs given up to shelters and the pound because they are unmanageable or aggressive.
Warmest regards,
