If I could give zero stars I would. “The Dog Daddy” is an abusive, uneducated, dangerous con artist. He has multiple open cases in multiple states for animal cruelty. He has bred sick puppies and not taken responsibility for his poor breeding practices and conditions with his “breeding program & partners”. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PERSON.

Dog Abuser and Scam Artist! This individual is routinely swinging fearful dogs around by the neck, strangling them on choke collars and slip leads, and taking lots of money from the owners of the dogs he victimizes. He's been barred from entering Australia as well as the UK and Canada after waves of protests held on his event venues. But in the US, he continues to take money from people from workshops, then cancel the workshop and not reimburse the customers (see the other reviews here on Trustpilot). He also is known to be a fraudulent breeder of German Shepherds, with a track record of selling sick puppies to people and then refusing to reimburse the customers. He keeps running from one state in the US to another to avoid having to pay damages to the victims of his crimes.

Strangling dogs into submission is not behavior modification! It's ABUSE!! WOULDN'T LET THEM IN 6 MILES OF MY DOG

He is an abusive and harmful dog trainer. A simple google search will show his abuse tactics, harmful tactics, and how several leading international organizations have released statements against him and his methods. He was denied entry into Australia last year because of his abuse tactics and millions have come out against him.

Very unreliable. It's hard to figure out where he's going to hold the class, you have to wait for him to secretly message you the place the day before or even the day of the class, so you wait to be told where the event is, then you find out surprise, it's cancelled. When he cancels, he promises either to reschedule or set you up with a webinar or with an online class, but trying to GET has been impossible so far. Also, I didn't want an online class. I wanted in person physical help, so him cancelling and acting like an online class is just as good is bull. And no refunds. I went to another dog trainer, and one thing I noticed was the new dog trainer gave me a list of behaviors I could expect to have taught or fixed, like an actual check list. My new trainer has dogs that compete in things and get awards in obedience and has certifications from different training schools. I don't even know if Dog Daddy has any of that. Meanwhile, my 400 has disappeared and I never got the class. At this point I'm calling it a loss. Buyer beware, he needs to deliver and then get paid. Also, I don't know exactly what he would have taught my dog or me.... there's no checklist like I got from my trainer now, and if I don't get that behavior trained then my trainer is right here and I can find them, talk to them, and get free training until that behavior is learned. Nothing like that from Dog Daddy. I think he's a shady flim flam man. I learned my lesson and lost my money.

Augusto has no training in canine behavior whatsoever, he has no credentials. He puts dogs on prong collars and chokes them until they shut down. His methods are very abusive. Dogs are so scared in his videos they actually defacate and desperately try to get away from him.

Takes your money and cancels dates repeatedly,when "training" he is very vicious with the dogs swinging and hanging them by prong collars and pokes and jabs the dog unnecessarily in the ribs seemingly winding the dog up into aggressive outbursts to then hang the dog from the leash till it shuts down, this is not dog training this is animal abuse and fraud, on further investigation of this character he also breeds very poor dogs with a multitude of health problems !!!!! BEWARE ⚠️⚠️
