Meet Dogo Trainers

We believe that to build a strong friendship we need to spend quality time with our friends, let it be training, playing or relaxing in a park together. Through positive reinforcement of good behavior, we can show our dogs what pleases us and what is expected.

Dogo trainers will guide you through training by reviewing video exams and answering your questions in the helpline.
