Cinnante Canine -

Viva LaVida

We’ve been failed by other trainers in the past, but NEVER by Cinnante Canine!! We absolutely love them!! I need the world to know that Joe and his team are AMAZING! They are professional, honest, extremely savvy, and caring!! Joe is highly committed in helping you and your pup succeed! Rest assured your fur babies are in THE BEST hands!!

I’ve had the honor of using Cinnante Canine, twice (Sam & Zuko), for our rescue! The results are incredible! Sam had been with a previous “trainer” for 5 weeks, and that person didn’t teach him anything! We moved him into Cinnante Canine, and the results were outstanding! Sam got adopted shortly after ?. Zuko, our terrier mix, is a handful! He has crazy separation anxiety! Plus, he has biten a handful of people, including some “trainer”, who later ghosted us! As soon as we got him to Joe’s, Zuko loved him and accepted him! After one session, we’ve seen a MAJOR improvement with Zuko in the home!

The entire process, whether it’s boarding or individual sessions, are always very informative and rewarding. Get ready to put in the work! But don’t fret, Joe will guide you through it all! Our dogs deserve the very best, and when it comes to dog training, Cinnante Canine is the way to go, trust me!!

I just had my second lesson with Joe today. I was at the point where I almost regretted rescuing my puppy. He was a lot and I didn’t know if I could handle him. There was a woman in my neighborhood who I would see walking a shepherd. I knew where she lived so I stopped by her house to ask her who her trainer was. She raved about Cinnante Canine, how much Joe helped her with her dog. I decided to give him a try. From the moment I arrived, I felt heard and not judged. Although it’s quite a distance from where I live, it is well worth the drive. It is a beautiful property with lots of dogs, cats and chickens. My first thought was that my dog Jax would attack the cats and the chicken, but Joe had complete control and Jax soon became somewhat comfortable around these animals with Joe’s guidance. Joe is giving me tools to work with Jax. Although we have much work to do, I am encouraged by the progress Jax has made. I have total trust in Joe and his team. He also has the sweetest wife and the cutest kids. I could not recommend him more highly.

Having my two dogs trained at Cinnante Canine was the best decision I ever made. My one dog Sage had severe fear and aggression issues. She was constantly in stress-mode and became a danger to humans and other dogs. It was awful to see because I also knew she had the most loving, gentle, and playful personality when she was not faced with triggers. Through the training, Joe taught me the skills to build up Sage's confidence and communicate clear directions to help her navigate her surroundings in a healthy and secure way. I also learned how to manage various situations so that Sage would be set up to succeed. Today, Sage is no longer triggered by people or dogs but neutral to most situations. This has been achievable because the training built important skills that allowed her to have incredible focus and response to my cues and direction. Over time, and through consistent work, Sage is now able to have healthy, happy interactions with dogs and people (with the help of my guidance). It is the best feeling to know I was able to make Sage's life better through this training, and it has also made MY life so much better by opening up so many possibilities of what we can do together. In addition to all this, I have a second dog, Sky, who Sage used to attack, and the training has allowed for both dogs to learn how to have a healthy, safe relationship with each other. I am so grateful for this training and how it has changed our lives!

Joe is a pleasure to work with. I love that he is very matter of fact and will tell you what you need to do for your dog, not what you necessarily want to hear.

The biggest blessing that has come from working with Joe is our dog Bronco’s freedom. I can hike with him (on leash/off leash), take him to restaurants, hotels and travel with him. The level of obedience he has is astounding.

Joe has supported us throughout different challenges with our pup and we really feel a part of the Cinnante family.

At this point, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with the safety and training of our pup.

I also love that Bronco was trained around cats, dogs, chickens, and kids. All these have helped him focus on me no matter the distraction.

I’d say the only negative is that we literally can’t go on a walk without someone stopping my wife or I and asking how he is trained so well.

I've been to other well known dog trainers with my young German Shepherd in the hopes of gaining experience with the sport French Ring and to become the best owner/handler I can be as she is my first dog.

Joseph's communication is top notch he pays so much attention to the nuances most trainers overlook. So far we have been met with nothing but professionalism, patience and clarity. His property is the ideal place to train. It's beautiful, serene and everyone there is so welcoming with chill vibes.

Best experience for us so far, we look forward to making progress and achieving our goals. I recommend training with Joseph to anyone who is serious about their dog.

Joe has an immense talent for teaching people the minutiae of clear communication with their dog. He is a master of motivation and really great at explaining and demonstrating concepts for handlers to replicate. He is also great at teaching play skills!
As a bonus he's also a fabulous decoy for either ring or PSA.
Highly recommend learning from Joe!

From the moment I met Joe, my perspective on dog training was completely revolutionized. I came to him with my German Shepherd, Brisket, who was a shelter dog, riddled with anxiety. After having encountered numerous trainers who had labeled her as 'untrainable', I was at my wit's end. But Joe, with his unparalleled expertise and patience, not only trained Brisket but also thought me exactly how to work with my dog and transformed our lives.

Joe's approach is nothing short of miraculous. He has a deep understanding of dogs' psychology, and his methods are both gentle and effective. Under his guidance, Brisket's obedience skyrocketed to a perfect 10/10. We constantly receive compliments on her behavior, and she's now renowned as the most well-behaved dog many have ever encountered. Joe didn't just train Brisket; he saved her from being rehomed and made our coexistence joyful and harmonious.

Joe's impact didn't end there. His guidance filled me with such confidence that I recently adopted a second puppy. Joe was instrumental and hands on in this process, from selecting the ideal dog to suit my lifestyle to guiding me through the training process. His involvement has been a game-changer, ensuring that I've chosen the right companion and working dog.

What began as a necessity for Brisket's behavior issues has blossomed into a passion for dog training and a lifelong friendship with Joe. He's more than a trainer; he's a life-changer. There truly is no better dog trainer out there. If you're seeking someone to transform your relationship with your dog, Joe is the answer. Thank you, Joe, for everything!
