Congratulations Rocket!
Rocket just completed his 6-week private lesson program, and we couldn’t be prouder of the progress he and his family have made together!

When Rocket’s owner first brought him home from the shelter, they knew he was a good boy who just needed the right support and guidance. After doing their research, they chose to work with Carlos — and here’s what they had to say:

“Carlos did an amazing job coaching me and providing feedback. I am grateful for his guidance and patience with both me and my (now) very good boy Rocket. He is someone I will continue to seek guidance and support from. I am so thankful I can now bring both my dogs places and let Rocket experience the world!”

It’s been an honor to work with Rocket and his family, and we are so excited for all the adventures they’ll now enjoy together!
