Meet the Business Owner

Alfredo A.

Business Owner

Alfredo has years of experience working with dogs of all sizes, types, breeds and temperaments. After initially learning the old school «yank and crank» style of training back in the 90s, he realized he needed a different method. He was thrilled to find the teachings of Michael Ellis and reward based training. This re-​ignited his passion for dogs and training and he opened his own business, DSL Dog Training and Boarding in 2010. It has been thriving ever since. His unique understanding of dogs and their signs of communication makes him a great trainer. He is also an AKC Certified CGC Evaluator and business member of the APDT. To say that dogs are his life, would be somewhat of an understatement. He lives, works, sleeps, (he doesn’t eat) and breathes dogs!
