I boarded my Malinois puppy, Akira, with Mario for 7 weeks and I am very happy with everything she learned. Her obedience is solid and she learned a lot of really useful commands. Through the follow up sessions, Mario taught my partner and I how to follow through with what she learned and how to give her an outlet for genetic fulfillment. I am very grateful to Mario for all his help and I encourage anyone with a puppy or a reactive dog to invest into training. It really does help and is worth the investment so you and your pup can have an enjoyable life together.
Where do I begin! 10/10 recommend Mario for your dog training. I have a 1 year old German Shepherd. He is a good boy but was extremely selective with his listening. He never grew out of his playful biting which became painful as he grew (he is around 80lbs) and he was developing some protective aggression with anyone he wasn’t familiar with. He also was a very big leash puller which made it hard to walk him as I’m a small female. I reached out to Mario and he took Rocky for board and training. I was initially amazed at how well Rocky took to him. I was worried he was going to be aggressive upon meeting Mario. Rocky loved him! After his first sniff of Mario, his tail was wagging and he was bringing Mario his toys. I instantly felt so comfortable with Mario having him for a decent length of time. Mario had Rocky for a total of 5/6 weeks. During the first 4 weeks, we communicated once to twice a week about Rocky. He answered every phone call, was always kind and always willing to answer any questions I had. He sent me videos and photos as well to show Rocky’s progress, which I loved and appreciated so much. After the 4 weeks, he brought Rocky home for an hour or so to see us and see what still needed correcting. I couldn’t believe my eyes!! No more pulling, no more biting, no barking at a stranger on our walk. I was amazed at the change in my dog. Mario began to teach us how to properly speak to Rocky, walk Rocky and correct him. This is my first dog and a big one at that, and I was so relieved that he had so much patience. I was definitely nervous because I don’t want to ruin all this progress. He helped me with my posture, my demeanor and had patience as it took me a little time to become comfortable with what he was teaching me. After this meeting, he took Rocky back for another week to correct a few more things. Rocky is back home tonight and he is a different dog. Still his happy, silly self - but so much better behaved. Rocky was sooo stubborn before this and Mario was able to change that. We are so happy with Mario and his work. Thank you Mario!! You are an angel and we appreciate how you’ve helped so much!
Mario is the best, hands down, no question. We have one of his German Shepherds and continue to use him for boarding and training. Whether you need a dog trained for Service, Personal Protection, or just obedience - look no further.
Mario is great with dogs. He has a great relationship with them when he first meets them. I brought him for his first visit on behavior of how he walks. He told me the collar to use and how to walk him correctly.Since that time he is walking and listening better to me then he was with the hardest I had on him. Thank you Mario
Mario from exclusive is a wonderful trainer I had a 2year old Rottweiler who he trained to be the most wonderful dog he spent time with Mario were he is so good follows all comandes is wonderful with other animals were be for he went to Marios at exclusive he was not friendly with other dogs now he hangs out with 2 large male pit bulls and also can be trusted off leash were he stands right buy wont move un till told to when be for. He would just take off and want you to chace him around .exclusivek9 is awesome I recommend them.
Mario is in a class by himself. He gave me good solid advice that was easy to follow and replicate on my own with my dog - to great success.I recommend him highly!
Super professional and a pleasure to work with. Mario is this and last years helper for my IGPs club trial. He’s always cheerful, clear, and consistent when we’re training! Thanks for everything Mario!
Highly recommend Mario, he’s awesome and has tons of experience and not only will he train your dog but he will train you as well and create that bond with your dog.
Good person good hart its hard to find people who have true love for animals hes definitely the guy you want him to take care of your little ones
Mario really knows his stuff. He has a love for dogs that shows and his methods showed immediate progress
I have boarded my dogs multiple times with Mario and I would not trust anyone else with them . Besides him always taking great care of my dogs , I also train with him for dog sport. He is by far the best trainer and decoy I have ever worked with and I have worked with alot of different trainers . He is extremely fair to the dog and has the patience of a saint . I cannot recommend him enough to people .
I found ExclusiveK9 on Google when I was a searching for a dog trainer for my Rottweiler. I called Mario and spoke to him he was honestly one the nicest people that I have ever spoken with. We made our first appointment and he came to my house to train my dog. The experience was amazing I saw a huge change in my dog even from day 1 not only is he an amazing trainer but also a great person. You can tell that he was not one of those trainers that just does it for the money he has a passion for his craft and he is amazing at it. My dog is doing amazing thanks to him and I look forward to continuing the training with him. I have and would recommend ExclusiveK9 to anyone that needs training for their dog or dogs because they will not be disappointed at all. Thank you Mario I really appreciate you brother.
I have dealt with several dog trainers over the years, but Mario is completely above par. He has a special way in the way he trains and relates to your dog. I highly recommend him. And his boarding is lovely and very affordable.
I have a very dominant pitbull who is a good boy, but does not like to listen. He wants to be the king of the house, and we felt hopeless. We turned to Mario who had been suggested to us, and it was the best thing that ever happened to our dog. He cared for him, and above all trained him. He is nice, caring, and clearly passionate about what he does. He goes above and beyond. So if you are looking for help with your pet, look no further!
Greatest dog trainer ever Mario was super nice and understanding of my dogs issues. I had gone to another trainer before who wasnt getting results and wasnt very good at communicating with me. Mario taught me as well as my dog, very knowledgeable. Knows what he is doing and talking about my baby Echo was an out of control high energy pit pup now he is a well manned part of the doggy society. Was a little unsettled about leaving my baby with him for 4 weeks for his training program but was pleasantly surprised. My dog came back well behaved, happy and healthy thankful to Mario i dont know what else we wouldve done.
Best trainer ever! Went above my expectation.
