About My Dog Training
Balanced Training Utilizing Science Backed Methods
Why Choose Me?
Welcome to The Bearded Dog Trainer! I am dedicated to offering effective, science-based training methods that prioritize safety and compassion. Whether you want to enhance your dog's obedience or tackle behavioral challenges, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to unlock your dog's full potential!


What sets me apart is my commitment to creating customized training regimens for each dog. I understand that every dog is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. By adapting my approach to meet the specific needs of your dog, I ensure they are set up for success in their training journey. Your dog's individuality is my priority!
This video is of two families who required that their dogs get along as the families spend a lot of time together running a local church. I worked with each dog and family individually through board and train programs to get the dogs on the right path. Shortly after the dogs were reintegrated into their family homes with new structure, they got together and now the dogs get to be part of the gatherings! What they thought would never happen was achieved through their dedication to giving their dogs a better life.

Get to Know Me
Helping dogs and families live a better life is something I’ve been doing for almost 10 years now and it absolutely fulfills my heart when I can make
people happy and see that they can live a more balanced life with their dogs.
Being in rescue for so long has created a big spot in my heart to help people with their dogs. Every dog deserves a chance and no dog deserves to be let down by their families. I may not be in rescue full time anymore, but preventing dogs from getting there for behavioral issues is my larger impact now.
I’ve seen and dealt with most behaviors out there and everything can be fixed as long as the family is willing to make changes.
Creating a better life for families and their dogs often involves ensuring that the needs of both the family members and the dog are met. My approach for achieving this is done through education, training, and by fostering a safe and nurturing environment for all involved.

Happy Owners. Happy Dogs.
Mary Ann with dog Zoe

Carlo trained my year old dog (stray in LA) with a very strong personality.
Pit mixes are my breed, but this one was very strong willed compared to the others I’ve had.
Carlo worked consistently with Zoe for six weeks. In addition to Zoe, he worked with me, helping me to understand how to continue her training at home.
Carlo is approachable, caring and an excellent trainer. I interviewed six trainers before I found him. But once I had a conversation with him, I knew I had found ‘our’ trainer.
Zoe and I continue to work together daily. Carlo gave Zoe an excellent foundation, and I am forever thankful to him for helping us.

Whether your dog needs to brush up on manners or needs reactivity training, Carlo can help. I have three dogs who all have very different needs and issues. Not only did Carlo give us a fantastic foundation for our training journey, but he gave us new tactics to work on the issues. When they came home to us, they were walking at a perfect heel and were place-trained. We continued building on those skills, and our dogs can now ignore triggers and sit and make eye contact more 4/5 times when encountering animals. People are constantly impressed by our dogs' behavior, and we owe a lot of that to Carlo's help. Watching Carlo handle my dogs made me want to be better at handling and training, which helped me make training a daily routine.
