We LOVE Armando! From the very first conversation about our 6-month-old wild child, we knew Armando was the one that could help. Our pup Harper attended a 3-week board and train for basic puppy commands, leash control and resource guarding. The improvement is immeasurable! Armando has laid a wonderful foundation that keeps us motivated to continue training at home. Customer service is outstanding all around- If you need help, do not hesitate to call! You (and your pup) will be happy that you did.
Our dog Maggie, is a 2 year old mixed breed who was very fearful, barked at everyone that came near our house, pulled us on the leash, and came very close to biting a couple of people. After doing a thorough search on Google and reading Google reviews, we found Armando. After a 30 minute conversation, he recommended his 3 week board and train. When we took Maggie to Armando, he was very explicit in what was expected of her as well as what was expected of us after her training was complete.Three weeks later we picked up our new Maggie. She no longer pulls on the leash, knows how to sit and stay, and does not bark at everyone. More importantly, we had guests for Christmas and she was calm as calm could be.Armando does great work and we now understand it is up to us to continue Maggies training. He gave us the basics we need, as well as 7 1/2 hours of video for us to view. And he is still available to us when we have questions.If you need to get your dog trained and learn how to train him/her, call Armando. You wont regret it. We certainly dont, and neither does Maggie.Armando, thank you!
I highly recommend taking obedience lessons with Armando, even if you think your dog behaves sufficiently or that it’s not worth the investment. With just one lesson I could immediately tell a difference with how my dog interacted with me and how he conducted himself with walking on a leash. And as we continued with the lessons he became extremely well behaved and more compliant to how he was before, I can now take him on walks through out the neighborhood without him pulling the leash, he can go for car rides without barking at people walking outside the car, and has overall made huge improvements in his living conditions. I felt like I had continuous support and advice from Armando after and during every session. You can really tell he puts a lot of effort and care when it comes to working with dogs and assisting people with handling their dog and the work shows with the outcome of the training I received.
My wife and I just picked up our 1.5 year old Sheepadoodle last week from Armando (The Hyper Pup) and are already seeing so much improvement. We dropped him off for a 3 week board and train while we were getting married and traveling for our honeymoon. It was a huge relief to know he was in such progressional hands, but to see how much he learned in such a short amount of time makes us truly grateful.Leo is 75lbs and struggles with pulling on the leash and reacting to try playing with every dog he sees. Now, we’ve already noticed how Leo walks at our side and follows heel commands. Armando was always quick to reply to texts and calls, and posted updates on Leo’s training on Instagram and youtube.While Leo’s 3 weeks of board and train are complete, we’ve already booked our next session with Armando to continue training. In short, Armando wants to see you and your dog succeed. He has the experience to direct your dog and holds us owners all accountable. Leo cant wait to see him again and continue learning! We highly recommend investing some time and money with Armando if your dog needs any guidance.
Me and my wife brought our 9 month old Golden Doodle puppy, Bentley to Armando after reaching a point of just not knowing what to do with him. He’s such a good boy but is easily distracted and can be very stubborn in terms of listening, following orders and respecting boundaries. One of our neighbors who has a mini doodle said that their dog was also very similar in behavior and they had reached a breaking point. They said they brought her to a guy named Armando who they described as amazing and the experience as a success. We did some research and reached out. We spoke with Armando and after a brief phone call we decided we would jump at the opportunity to have our dog professionally trained. We brought Bentley in and dropped him off for a 4 week board and train. We were regularly checking in on his Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to follow Bentleys progress. After 4 weeks all I have to say is WOW. Upon arrival to pick him up we did some training with him. And it’s night and day the way he listens and respects boundaries. Once again he wasn’t a bad dog. But Armando really got to learn him and work out all of the things that were issues or could have been bigger issues in the future. If you are looking for a dog trainer or a board and train program for your dog please shoot Armando a call and at least have a conversation with him. He was very knowledgeable and respectful. Me and my wife have many things that we’re learning and working on now as well, to maintain Bentleys training and success. But we couldn’t have done it without Armando and the ground work that he has laid. Would recommend to anyone for any bread or issue!!!!! Thank you Armando
Thank you Armando and Tyler for taking such good care of my dogs! We recently had them do a board and train program and I can honestly say my faith has been restored! They are now sleeping in crates, potty trained and in general, better behaved. If your looking for a trainer who genuinely understands a dog’s psychology and who will treat them like their own, The Hyper Pup is the place for you. They will thoroughly guide you through the process, keep you updated with texts, calls, photos and provide you with supplemental guidance and support to ensure you succeed long after your dog returns home. Thank you again! We look forward to continuing the journey with future classes, general boarding and of course with all of those instructional videos!
Our 3 year old goldendoodle Champ is a nervous dog with fear based aggression. His reactivity, aggression, and overall lack of control has been a cause of stress and we decided to try the 3 week board and train program with Armando. We are so glad we did. Armando was able to set the foundation for Champ, clearly explain Champs issues and how to manage them, and also give us the tools to continue his success at home. The support Armando gives you and your dog after you leave the board and train program is invaluable. He wants you to succeed. If you are in need of a trainer, we highly recommend contacting Armando.
Bo had the 3 week board and train, then we had training as the humans need to learn as well. Armando was so good with Bo and with all our follow ups. Bo used to get yelled at daily, now we dont have to yell at him - fantastic job and would highly recommend.
Putting my dog through Armando’s board and train was the best decision I ever made. It has changed my dog’s life and mine. She’s able to be out of her crate for majority of the day, she is much calmer around my toddlers and she listens! She’s still a puppy, but now she’s a very well behaved puppy. I highly recommend reaching out to Armando if you need a professional dog trainer. He’s amazing! It’s worth every penny!
Sergeant is our Warren tire company pet and needed some professional guidance. Armando and his team worked closely with him and us. As a result Sergeant has had a 100% turn around. He is pleasure to have around the office and other people. We even show his many new skills off to guests. Thank you Armando.
After much pressure from my family to rehome my unruly Great Dane, I contacted Armando for help. He was so helpful, professional and gave me hope. My dog entered his 3 week board and train program with a goal for me to be able to walk her safely. She is now a pleasure to walk. I feel confident and safe when we walk now as I continue to manage her impulses. The best part is that Armando continues to work with us and is always available for help with questions. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend working with Armando if you need any help with training. In less than a month he has helped us learn the proper training methods to deal with our dog’s issues. Our two year old pup went from barking, growling, pulling and snarling at almost every dog he met on leash to being a well behaved little guy when introduced to another dog. There were some things we weren’t doing properly previously and we needed some help and guidance which Armando definitely provided. His training program is the best and we are very happy that our dog is going to have a much better life now since we are going to be able to take him places and walks will be much less stressful now that we know the right ways to deal with the various behaviors our dog demonstrates. Thanks Armando!
Armando has been a life saver for our family. He helped us with our fear aggressive dog years ago and now with a new puppy we have recently added to the family. He is so skilled at getting to the root of the problem so perfectly and efficiently. He sees things that are so clearly an issue that I was just willing to ignore. Probably his greatest skill is telling you in the nicest, most professional way how you need to correct your problem. His advice is always easy to understand and very doable and that is why he is so successful. His plan to get your dog’s unwanted behaviors on track are all within reach. Armando is always willing to help and I am so very happy that he continues to make himself available to us.
I had no business getting a second dog. (Just ask my first dog.) But my first dog, Whiskey, and I had settled into a comfortable routine and I thought there was room in our lives for another. However, the dog we ended up with, Obie, immediately took up all of that room and then some. He ran roughshod over both of us, terrorized the neighbors (who lovingly refer to him as Cujo) from behind our Invisible Fence, and destroyed roughly $57,000 worth of household items in six months. And worst of all, I could not walk him on a leash more than 20 feet away from our house without him seizing up in fear and whipping me in circles. I returned from at least one “walk” with my hands bleeding from the friction of the leash. I needed help.Thanks to my daughter’s online research, help arrived in the form of Hyper Pup K9 Training. Armando sized Obie and me up within ten minutes of meeting us. With directness but good humor he laid out the problem: Obie needed a strong leader and I needed to learn how to be that leader. And, then, within a few minutes, he had Obie walking quietly by his side at heel. And the hope of a whole new way of life opened up.Armando spelled out what I needed to do in a clear and calm way. He was extremely generous with his time and his expertise. He patiently and good-naturedly answered all of my questions and offered to provide more help whenever I feel I need it. Which I will. Obie and I are a work in progress, to be sure. (Armando says to work toward ‘slow and steady’ improvement. We’ve got the slow part down; we’re working on the steady.) But I walk Obie every day and there has been no more bloodshed. Today, he and Whiskey both sat on their new “place” mat for the first time at my command and repeatedly ran across the yard to me when I called, “Come.” None of this would have been possible without Armando’s instructions and guidance. He’s given me confidence that the worst days are behind us and our best days ahead. And now, if you hear me outside yelling for Whiskey, I’m just calling my dog.Thank you, Armando!
My son contacted Armando for help with our 2 yr old Bordoodle, Charlie, who was becoming more aggressive around certain people and dogs. He was also not very confident. We met with Armando 3 times. His knowledge of canine psychology combined with his training ability and experience, produced amazing results in a short time. Armando gave us insight into how we can change our behavior to help Charlie build his confidence. He also provided us with excellent strategies for walking him around people, dogs, and other distractions. Building his confidence will take time and consistency but we are happy with his progress and relieved that we now have the understanding and necessary tools to be able to enjoy safely taking him places. I highly recommend The Hyper Pup. Thank you, Armando!
Armando is competent and insightful. He knows dogs inside and out. And he sizes up the owners pretty quickly, too. He is straightforward and doesnt waste your time by mincing words.After only one session with Armando, by using his instructions, we saw almost instant improvement in our dogs behavior. My husband and highly recommend him.
I must share with everyone. The hyper pup and Armando kept me from putting my boy up for adoption. Bennett as you may see in some of the videos was terrible on leash, he actually took me down one day and broke 12 of my ribs! Armando was a savior!!!! He did exactly what he said he would do in regards to Bennett training, and the follow up support is fantastic!!!! I was so anxious when I got him back but he taught us to be confident!!! Please listen when he says you have to continue to work with your pet every day, and every day gets easier and your confidence improves every day!!!! Thank you again!!!!
I cannot recommend Armando and The Hyper Pup enough. During our consulting session, it was clear that Armando had our best interest, and the best interest of our dog, in mind at all times.He listened to our concerns and thoroughly assessed our dogs unique personality and breed-based behavior. He genuinely cared about understanding our dogs needs and tailoring his advice to our family’s specific situation.Armando left us with actionable advice and gave us hope for positive changes in our dogs behavior. His explanations were clear, concise, and easy to understand, ensuring that we grasped the reasoning behind each technique he introduced. He empowered us to implement effective training methods outside of additional sessions.The insights into our dogs instincts, tendencies, and unique characteristics, are helping us better understand and address the problem behaviors. We are immensely grateful for the time Armando spent with us and we wholeheartedly recommend his services to any dog owner looking for expert help.
Whoever said that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks has never trained with Armando, owner/operator of the Hyper Pup. One training session completely transformed the way I walk with my 7 year old dog! I was blown away by how quicikly the skills that he taught me worked and what a complete 180 it was from how we had walked before. I actually enjoy my walks now! Armando also was so helpful in teaching me about how to be a leader for my dog and to help me understand not only the skills/technique but the reasons behind them. He is very knowledgeable on how dogs think, learn, respond and their behaviors. Every time I have met with him I have left with so much valuable information. Armando is patient, through, attentive, and helps tailor his interventions to target what you are trying to teach/train your dog. Everything from basic obedience, problem behaviors to aggression/fear. He is confident in what he is teaching which really helps you feel that you and your pooch are in good hands. In addition, he is always posting videos that provide additional support and information outside of your training time so just because you are not face to face the training does not have to stop. I highly recommend the Hyper Pup!! You will not be disappointed!
Our fearful dog, Mabel, did four weeks of board and train with Armando and its made a huge difference. She came back to us calmer and more confident. Armando helped us understand her behavior better and, even more importantly, is working with us to be more effective handlers. Weve got a long way to go, but we feel well supported by Armando.
What can I say? I had my puppy go for a 3 week board & train.Armando really was amazing with my 1 year old pup. With Armandos training and constant guidance for me, Cooper is walking on a leash like a champ. Hes also listening so much better and is not a pushy pup. If you are looking for someone that loves your dog yet is willing to train us humans as well, The Hyper Pup is the place to go. Thanks Armando.
We first met with Armando at our home in Spring of 2021 for a consultation. It was an overwhelming, but extremely eye opening meeting as we were at a frustrating and anxious point with our 3-year old fearful rescue dog. Armando spent over an hour with us, evaluating our situation and provided us with insight on how to approach our dogs aggression. In this consultation meeting, Armando shared a few training tips, which we failed at, and knew we had work to do!! We decided it would be best to send our dog for a board-and-train with Armando.For this three week “retreat”, Armando worked with our dog on learning many skills to make them habits. A few of those skills included: walking on leash outdoors, multiple behavioral commands and “tools” to give him a feeling of more confidence and guidance (all of which we unknowingly weren’t providing him). Right before our dog returned to us, Armando sent us an evaluation of the three-week progression and important information on how to reintegrate our dog back into the home.When our dog returned, it was time for our training (the human training) to begin. Armando provided thorough information, but not in an overwhelming way (as there is a lot to learn). He took his time and worked at our speed giving us tools and lessons in small-doses. We are a continual work in progress (and still working with Armando), but the lessons and tools we’ve learned thus far have made an incredible change for our dogs behavior and in turn, for our family. Through Armando, we have insight now into what our dog needs and what we need to do to provide that for him. We still face challenges, but we are much more confident in how to approach situations with what we’ve been taught.Armando has such a passion for what he does and you can see the connection he makes with the dogs he trains. He is direct, insightful, and responsive. When we first brought our dog home three years ago, we didn’t think there was a need for a dog trainer, but that was a big mistake! Without Armando’s help, we don’t know where we’d be...
Ive worked with Armando for about a year now. My dog Jessie went to see him for a board and train last year. She has done amazing with her off leash training! In addition, Armando has been there for us whenever an issue or question has come up. We are looking forward to working with him this year on more regular obedience issues. His advice has always been accurate, he returns calls/messages quickly, and his primary focus is on the dog and improving communication with the owner. Thanks Armando for all your help! Tammy
We brought our 2 toy poodles for a board and train, and Armand and Tyler did an excellent job with them, literally changed our livesThank you
Armando is the best! I brought my rescue, Carter, to him worried that his behavioral issues would be too much. Armando is thoughtful in his evaluation and clear in his instructions. He has given me the tools and the confidence to create a safe and happy life for my dog and me.
I am sure there are many good dog trainers out there. So what sets Armando part from the rest of the pack? (no pun intended!) First and foremost he cares. I have never met anyone who cares not only about the dogs he trains but his clients. His end product is not only to have a dog that knows his commands but his true end product is to ensure that the family has a loving pet that they can live with. Armando has the attitude of Ill do whatever it takes to work with you to accomplish the end result. Of course a lot still depends on the owner to follow his instruction.What else sets Armando apart from everyone else? Communication. I had called three dog training people. Armando responded within a couple of hours. The other two were a couple of weeks. OK you say Ive seen this before. A person very responsive to make the sale and once the sale is made you cant find them. WRONG!! Armando has been one of the most responsive people I have ever worked with. Whenever I have a question it usually does not go for more than a few minutes before he responds.One more important note about Armando. He has served our country and I will always be grateful to him for his service. Without that I may not have been able to have a dog for him to train. So not only are you getting the best dog trainer around but you are supporting a veteran owned business which is just a great feeling.The bottom line is that I have a dog (and if you read about Alto) not an easy dog, that my wife and I can now easily live with. We love him dearly and Armando made it possible for us to enjoy the love of a dog.
I reached out to Armando when we adopted our second dog. We wanted to give our girl the best life experience possible which to us meant showing her leadership, instilling confidence and allowing her to hike with us off leash. His teaching methods are geared towards helping you the human understand how to communicate with your dog. What I didnt expect when I first contacted Armando was that I would have an ally who was in it for the long haul. I recently contacted Armando a few years after that initial contact because I was having some issues with my dog that I wanted to improve upon. Without hesitation he agreed to meet with me to help me get my dog on track. Our decision to learn how to properly provide the guidance and leadership that dogs crave was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We couldnt have done it without Armandos guidance and support. I cannot say enough good things about The Hyper Pup!
Armando helped me with my dog Bailey. She was aggressive on the leash, he met with me and within a couple of visits she was walking with me. He is very professional and gives you confidence with how you deal with your dog. Thanks again Armando.
Hyper Pups Board and Train has made a huge difference with Mac. When I watched Armando put Mac through a demo of his new skills, I wanted to learn how to do that too. Weve had several follow up sessions with Armando (included!) and Im gaining confidence by the day. Im learning to trust the training, trust the equipment, trust myself and see the progress. Armando is clear, consistent, patient, always ready to help and is a steady guide. Highly recommend.
Very thankful I contacted Armando for help with my dog. She pulled constantly and it was hard to take her for a walk. Armando was informative, helpful and patient with my dog and myself. After one lesson, I was able to take her for a walk. Cannot thank him enough for the skills he taught us. Highly recommend!
Armando has been so helpful. I have learned that it is not about changing my dog, it is about changing my relationship with him. He helped me create a safe and structured environment for Charlie, who is dog reactive. Armando has provided me with the insight and tools to make walks and life with Charlie much more enjoyable for both of us.I
Just got our almost two year old pup, Carmelo, back from a three week board and train with Armando and what a difference! Our hyper boy started off jumping up on people, pulling on the leash, and completely ignoring me, among other things. After three weeks with Armando he’s a well mannered boy and completely off leash trained. Armando was able to teach Carmelo core commands as well as instruct me how to utilize the commands for a more structured home environment and better relationship with my dog. We both have some work ahead of us to maintain the behavior Armando has established but with Armando’s way of training we will be able to continue to build on the foundation he has provided. Even after our three week training ended Armando has met with us on multiple occasions to make sure I know how to use the commands and become a better handler for Melo. We can’t thank Armando enough, we also have a 7 month baby as part of our pack so to have a well mannered pup will be life changing!If you’re looking for a very skilled trainer who’s willing to improve you as well as your dog I would highly recommend the Hyper Pup!!!
Where to start.We called Armando after we had gotten to a point that we realized both our family and our dog were at a breaking point. Our 2 year old pit mix, Bo, was becoming harder to control, territorial of our yard, and increasingly uncertain of other dogs.Bo is love. He is a snuggle bug, and just a great dog, but at the same time he is an excitable dog with a high prey drive and an inability to focus in distracting environments. This is a dangerous mix. His high prey drive led to a few backyard breakouts and altercations with other dogs in our neighborhood. With two little kids, another dog, and a neighborhood full of people around us, we knew we had to do something different before someone or our dog got hurt.Armando took Bo in for a 4 week Board and Train program. During our time working together so far, Armando is communicative, knowledgeable, such a great teacher! and most of all, honest. He never sugar coats and tells you exactly what he believes your dog needs.Armando weaned Bo off of Prozac while in his care and created a structured training environment for Bo. He shared with us what he was learning about Bo throughout the process and what to be prepared for when he came home.We started our training with Armando in preparation of bringing Bo back home during the fourth week. During just the first visit, yes, we, saw big changes in Bo, but more importantly - we learned so much from Armando. He trained us, in order for us to train Bo.This is not a magic solution. Sending your dog to Board and Train does not mean they are going to come home a different animal and stay that way. This takes a change in your own mindset, and a dedication to the long-term management of your dog.With that mindset, we have had Bo home for a little over 24 hours, and are already so hopeful for the future of our family and our new relationship with our dog. Prior to leaving for Board and Train, Bo could not be walked on a leash. Now, we have gone on 6 walks just since Ive picked him up. When people entered the house, he used to bark and jump to get attention. My parents visited yesterday. He did not bark once, did not jump once, and stayed by my side their entire visit. I mentioned before his hesitancy and aggression with other dogs. Today, we passed a dog on the other side of the street. He did not bark. He sat calmly with me, and waited for the dog to pass.Armando provides you and your dog with the skills, tools and knowledge to succeed. He facilitates a relationship of respect.We have a ways to go, but so far so good!! Thank you Armando :) Looking forward to continuing to work together!
Hank is a rescue dog, we soon discovered had many issues that seemed to be getting worse as time went on. We worked with other trainers in the past but still continued to have difficulty. When we reached out to Armando he was very upfront, truthful and willing to help.Hank recently returned from a board & train. While he was there we were updated and also given information to help us with his transition home. Since being home Hank is much more responsive and listening. Armando has helped with developing structure androutine. He provided us with information that is needed to be successful with Hanks transition back home and continues to provide us with support.I cannot say enough good things about The Hyper Pup!Thank you Armando for helping create a structured routine and the better relationship we now have with Hank.
Armando is amazing. We sent our dog to him for board and train. The transformation was shocking. Before the training, he was an out of control 9 month old. When he came back, he was more calm and constantly made eye contact with us to look for us to direct him. Armando was so great in teaching us how to continue our training with Charlie. We were able to really start enjoying our dog!!!
Armando has been so incredibly helpful to us and our little reactive (unconfident) pit mix. He’s patient and funny and is great at finding the root of the problem and showing you how to work through it with your dog. We are all feeling safer and more confident both on leash and off.
We had our young pit mix enrolled in the board and train program in summer 2018. Armandos training program transformed our dog. He became responsive to commands, even under distraction (other dogs etc) and the basic training he completed provided a foundation for continued outstanding behavior. We highly recommend Armando as a professional dog trainer.Update March 2020: Beau is now 3yo, and still maintains his wonderful manners and basic obedience, that Armando taught him during his 2 week board and train program. The board and train sessions imparted a rock-solid recall and basic obedience skills, along with a willingness to please in our dog that he maintains to this day. I cant say enough about Armandos abilities as a trainer, and highly recommend the board and train program, your dog will benefit from it for their entire life.Armando also provides follow up sessions (included for those doing board and train), which help to train the trainer as I periodically train Beau with brush-up training sessions.
What a difference three weeks board and training with Armando did for our eight month old Vizsla girl! She was very hyper reactive and lacked focus. She often would jump and constantly counter surf our kitchen island looking for anything she could reach. She would nip when she wanted attention or got overly excited and would take socks or pretty much anything she could reach. Thanks to Armando she now doesn’t counter surf or go after our socks and feet anymore, complete transformation. She stays in place now when we cook or eat at the table. Armando was able to get her to walk / heal with no leash pulling and he will continue to work with us so that we master that too. Armando has given us the tools to significantly better manage our pup and the ongoing guidance to be successful! We were so fortunate to find Armando! He is an amazing professional dog trainer and awesome person! He has equipped us with the skills to be successful! We highly recommend Armando and the Hyper Pup board and training program to equip both pup and parents with skills and confidence needed to raise a healthy and happy pup and family! Thanks so much Armando!
Armando was fantastic when it helping train Caesar on his 3 week board and train. He came to Armando as pulling on his leash and choosing not to listen to us amoungst other things. Armando has helped train us to what will work for our pup as well as working with Caesar on what he needs from us. Very much recommend him and his services!
My dog’s group class training was interrupted by COVID, so I tried training on my own – but it was clear I didnt have the time or experience to train my pup to be reliable off-leash while out on hikes.Hyper Pup’s Board and Train program trained him to the e-collar and in three weeks he was working off leash outdoors. What a joy to see what he can do! Equally impressive is Armando’s follow up in person and with texting to guide me in reinforcing my dog’s shiny new skills. He is kind, patient, and a wonderful teacher for dogs and their people alike.
Armando has helped us with our dog Moose tremendously. We were having trouble training him and Armando helped us to understand Moose and his personality much better. Moose came back from 3 week board and train with the skills to help us continue his training and manage his anxiety so much better.Armando has been so supportive after the board and train as well and is helping us to continue Moose’s training in a way that will fit into our lifestyle.
Armando Morales is a wonderful dog and people trainer. He helps dog owners, such as myself, to build confidence in both owner and canine companion, as well as break bad habits and lead with a firm, but loving hand, as to create harmony in the home and a well balanced dog.Armando has great insight on dog behavior and body language. He is very helpful in interpreting what your dog is trying to communicate or what bad habits they are portraying. (Ex. My dog was an attention seeker, but I was interpreting it that she was feeling anxious and insecure. Part of that was correct, but Armando showed me that she needed guidance in a firm, but still, caring way.)I highly recommend The Hyper Pup for the wisdom, knowledge and insight that Armando has to offer.
We reached out to Armando at The Hyper Pup Dog Training because we needed help with our recently adopted puppy Winnie. Before our trainings she was defiant, jumpy and at times aggressive. Armando met with us, inquired about our situation and provided a realistic assessment to improve our relationship with our puppy. He taught us training techniques that have allowed us to be assertive dog owners and ultimately improve our relationship with our puppy. Hes a talented dog trainer, communicator and educator, highly recommend.
Armando has been great working with us to help us learn how to curb our dogs reactionary behavior. All is a work in progress, but we are happy to have found Armando and look forward to continuing to work with and learn from him!
Just a month ago, our sibling Shar-pei Puppies were almost unmanageable. They were stubborn, didnt listen to us, fighting regularly, unable to go in public, and almost impossible to bring for a casual walk.After their time spent with Armando at The Hyper Pup, we have regained so much confidence and comfortablity with our babies! They come when we call them, sit/lay down and stay on command, and even heel during walks! The difference is incredible, and thats just a quick summary! 10/10 - experience10/10 - communication10/10 - would recommend to anyone needing help with their pups
Ive struggled with my boy Jack for years and could never find a reputable trainer when we lived in NJ. After moving into an apartment setting Jacks behaviors started to get worse. In doing some research I had found Armando. Jack just came back from his three week board and train, my boyfriend and I noticed a difference right away. Prior to leaving for his board and train when hed see another dog outside hed pull on his leash and act out. The moment Armando dropped him off another dog was across the street and Jack was sitting next to him, still whining but not pulling and it was an amazing sight to see. Later that night walking him myself another dog was near and he wasnt nearly as reactive as he has been in the past. I still have a lot of work to do with Armando but Im looking forward to bettering Jacks life out here in NY! I would definitely recommend him to anyone having issues with their pup.
Hyperpup has helped us in the past with some issues. So when we started having some aggression issues with our new pup it was obvious to us, who we were going to ask for help. Armando was quick to set up a training session with us. During the session not only did he show us how to correct the behavior but he explained to us why it was happening in the first place. I would recommend Hyperpup and Armando to anyone that was struggling with their furry friend.
Armando, owner of The Hyper Pup, is truly the dog whisperer. He is obviously super knowledgable, loves dogs, and goes the extra mile to help the animal and more importantly train the dogs humans to continue conditioning at home.We rescued our pup Zoe during the Pandemic. She is beautiful, sweet, very loving, and very timid. We desperately needed help in dealing with her skidishness, overwhelming uncontained energy, jumping, and her stubbornness. Zoe entered Armandos 3 week board and train. She has been home a week. What a difference! Now the hard part...we have to keep up our end of the bargain. So far Armando has come to our home twice for continued training and plans continue with us until we are comfortable with Zoes progress.We whole heartedly recommend Armandos, The Hyper Pup!
Training with Armando has vastly improved the quality of both my dogs life as well as my own! Abigail was so easily distracted prior to training with Armando that away from home I couldnt even get her to look at me let alone listen to me ff-leash. Armando patiently guided me through the process, was honest and upfront every step of the way, and taught me to be patient and persistent on the bad days and really reward and enjoy the good days! Now, Abigail has a rich, full life of freedom and adventure and I have a great companion that I can confidently bring along wherever we go!
I was really nervous to send my 8 mth old pup Ginsburg away but after doing some research found Armando and was immediately impressed. The first phone consultation lasted over an hour and he spent the time answering our many questions - he never once tried to sell us on anything but just offered helpful advice. Having spoken with many other board and train options I decided immediately Armando was the right choice. We took Ginsburg the 3 hr drive to for his board and train and yes I cried - but throughout the 3 weeks Armando posted on social media videos of the training and I could tell not only was Ginsburg learning a ton but he was also getting a lot of love and attention. After his 3 weeks I’ve been so impressed w how much better behaved Ginsburg is. Better patience, food manners, going to his place. A few weeks after picking him up I was struggling with structured walks, recall and jumping still / Armando quickly scheduled a zoom call and we even drove back for another in person session. It’s been so helpful not only seeing the progress - including my own- but also just comforting to have someone to ask questions to when I need help. Just yesterday I finally crated Ginsburg for over an hr and left the house and not one bark - huge victory! Thanks Armando - would highly recommend to anyone considering a board and train!
Armando and Hyper Pup was a wonderful experience start to finish. With quick response times for our initial phone interview and accurate time frames, it was easy setting up meeting/pickup dates. Once at training we were updated regularly and taught the skills to continue the work at home. It was clear our dog was well loved and taken care of while away and has rejoined our family a happier dog. We highly recommend Armando and Hyper Pup to anyone in need of help!
Armando has been a lifesaver for us. I am not a novice dog owner, but our current puppy has proven to be quite challenging. We would have never been able to properly train her without him!
Our Lab/Weimaraner mix Cassidy will be 3 in December. She is a real sweetheart has a great disposition and can be incredibly stubborn at times. She has always been a puller but was bite by a small dog in February and has taken her pulling to a new level as she now lunges and barks at small dogs. It’s really hard to handle Cassidy if the little dog starts the barking. She is friendly as long as the little dog is friendly back. We have used a prong collar on her since she was a 6 months and have found success in handling but not since the bite. We called Armando for help. Once the situation was discussed he said I believe we can fix this but I need to see how you handle her. He came to our home last week and observed our routine. He suggested a larger prong collar and instructed us on the proper way to handle the leash. We purchased a Hermès Sprenger prong collar, followed Armando’s recommendations and we are blown away at how much better our walks are. This was best thing we could’ve asked for. We took her to a park this weekend and received soooo many compliments on how good she was walking and not pulling. Strongly recommend The Hyperpup!
Working with Armondo has been the best decision weve made in working with our dog Pepper. Hes an expert in the field but his kindness and direct communication is what resonates with us the most.
After only one session with Armando I am convinced that I could not have found a better dog trainer.He is also teaching me how to use his method at home to practice with my 7 month old pup. Can’t wait for our next lesson. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Armando.
Armando was recommended to me by two friends who had sent their dogs to him and were very satisfied. Finn, my standard poodle puppy, was just too much to handle. He ignored my attempts to get him to behave and to walk on leash. He was a counter-cruiser, and I knew I needed help when I found Finn with his paws on the stove and the burner was on. After his three week board and train the difference was remarkable. Armando explained that the training was as much for me as for Finn. He has great insights on dog and human behavior. Together Finn has learned, and I reinforce, sit, stay, down, place, off, come and leave it. Today I took Finn to Lowe’s and he was so very well-behaved. Something I could not have imagined before Armando. I (we!) highly recommend.
Armondo has completely made a world of difference for our family. He took our 1.5 year old Rottweiler for a 3 week board and train and he’s a different dog. He listens to all of his commands, he’s much calmer, settles down well and isn’t as clingy and in our faces as before. I can’t recommend this program enough. Money extremely well spent! Thanks Armondo!
Armando is amazing!! He not only trains your dog...he trains the humans as well and he doesnt stop until issues are resolved. Best money every spent!
Armondo is a wonderful trainer! Professional, clear, and respectful. He explains and demonstrates things so effectively. Immediately identified what we needed and have already seen positive change. Highly recommend without reservation.
Armando is the real deal - he knows dogs and gets people - and trains both! Do not sit or stay, but run to call Armando to get help for you and your dog, if needed!!
We brought our one year old Shepherd to Armando for the board and train program because she was very fearful and acting aggressively towards people, and other dogs. I was desperate for help because rehoming her was not an option, but her behavior was concerning to say the least.Armando was very kind but also straightforward, which I really appreciated. I picked her up today and was thrilled to see the changes in her impulse control, walking in heel, and sit/stay. He spent 2 hours teaching me tools and techniques that we will implement at home for continued success for our girl.A woman was walking her dog past our house this afternoon and Lyra remained calm. No reaction! Before trying she would bark and lunge aggressively.I am so pleased that Lyra will be staying again when we go on vacation this summer.Do not hesitate to call Hyper Pup. You will only gain your best friend back better!
Consistent, Confident and Committed. I would highly recommend Armando and his board and train program. He effectively prepares your dog with a solid foundation that prepares the dog for success and continued growth with you. He also teaches the dog owner how to confidently lead. Armando remains committed to helping guide you and is always available for follow up help. From the minute I picked up my pup after his board and train I could see a more confident dog who enjoyed the new direction and stability. I also left feeling the same way. Armando puts in the hard work and long hours so you and your dog can grow and bond together. Armando simply knows what he is doing and your dog is in knowledgable safe hands. I am seeing first hand that investing in training my dog with Armando is going to give me and my dog a better quality of life together which ultimately is the best gift i can give to my dog. My dog and I are both learning and appreciating the necessary discipline and commitment needed to enhance our bond. Armando remains committed to you and your dog long term. Its a game changer opportunity for you and your dog, I highly recommend.
Armando is the best! We sent our 1 1/2 year old Golden Retriever to him for 3 weeks of board and train. We struggled to train Louie to walk with a loose leash, have any structure, and we were unsure how to help his fear of new people. Armando gave us so much insight into how to help Louie become more confident. He also trained Louie to walk at a heel, sit and lay down for long periods of stay, as well as go to place. We are so impressed with his progress and can’t wait to meet up with Armando for future sessions. Definitely call him to help you with your dog!! It’s absolutely worth the money and time.
Armando was awesome. He gave us excellent advice to help us learn how to train our little dog who had been running the household. We now feel a lot more confident that we can get him to where he needs to be in order to have a happy, loving, and relaxing home. We are so grateful!
Armando was recommended by a friend, and he has been excellent. We purchased a 7- year old poodle about two months ago. She had been a breeder at a cockapoo breeding farm. We were unsuccessful in getting her to pee and poop outside. Rather she regularly did that inside our house. We consulted with Armando, he made some suggestions, and we implemented them. The result has been no accidents for the past five days, and regular elimination in our yard. Hooray!I just contacted Armondo, asking for another session to progress even further with Penny.Armando has my highest recommendation.
We brought our 1 yr old rescue dog to Hyper Pup. She was terrified of our son and Armando taught us (including our son) a variety of skills to help us build our dog’s confidence.
Awesome experience! I thought my dog was aggressive but she was really just scared and had anxiety. Armando helped us figure it all out!!
Armando is an expert and will know your dog better than you. We have rather hyper dog with a moderately short attention span (insert humor) and after three weeks at Hyper Pup, she came back a graduate. I would highly recommended Hyper Pup for your training needs.
After one-hour training with Armando, our mini-labradoodle, Maui, was immediately responsive to the training techniques when training her on my own at home. He was able to command her respect and attentiveness fairly quickly. I highly recommend Armando.
This is my second pup with Armando and I knew as soon as I was getting Jack that I wanted Armando to help me train him right. He definitely explains the why behind even the smallest actions the humans should take...and the why nots...Armando is all about positive reinforcement and you can tell he truly loves the animals he trains and wants them to be in happy, settled homes.Armando always responds to my texts when I find myself in a puppy predicament...and is ever so kind when he explains why MY behavior needs to change and how to do it.He is THE trainer to go to in the area...
Armando Morales is excellent. Our two 14 month old Aussiedoodle pups spent three weeks with Armando in his Board and Train program. I was feeling anxious about sending them but it has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. Toby and Mason were more then a handful. Both boys are extremely playful and energetic. The major issue we were experiencing was Toby was bullying Mason. After meeting with Armando, we felt very comfortable and confident that he would be able to help. Armando is insightful and understands dog behavior. The boys returned well behaved. Armando not only did wonders training my dogs he also continues to provide guidance and support to us. He has taught me how to be the leader.I cannot say enough about Armando and the Hyper Pup. I highly recommend his training services.
Signing our beloved Juneau up for The Hyper Pup Dog Training program was one of the best decisions that we made for our dog and our family. As a first-time dog owner, I found incorporating a puppy into our lives to be stressful and overwhelming at times because I was not able to properly communicate with him. Armando not only trained Juneau, he also trained the family, and as a result, my relationship with my pup is now so much stronger. After training, I actually enjoy walking Juneau, and the “place” command is a daily sanity-saver. Armando is knowledgeable, professional, and fantastic to work with, and continues to offer support and guidance even after the initial training period is completed. I highly recommend The Hyper Pup Dog Training to anyone looking to have a better relationship with their pup.
