Dan cares about dogs. There's no way around it. Him and Aaron have an established "tough love" approach that's helped my dachshund go from yappy annoyance to confident wonder-wiener. No shock collars, no physical harm on the dogs; just simple stern dog-parenting, lead leashes, and water pistols. Yes the place smells like dog pee, it's a warehouse refitted for doggy boot camp and for a reasonable price at that! (Compared to other dog training facilities) When we have our next puppy we will 100% take them here for puppy school. I can't recommend this place enough for dog training.

This is a horrible business. 1) our dog and other dogs got sick at Dan s facility; 2) the owner tried to cover that up; 3) the owner then tried to blame our for an outbreak at his facility when he earlier told us no other dogs were sick; 4) DPT made our young daughter cry; and 5) our dog left untrained. When we complained, the owner verbally attacked and bullied us. These guys have a lot of bad reviews for a reason. They work through fear and intimidation, which is counter-productive for many dogs. If you don't see results, the owner will blame you. Just think - for $3000, you too could have a sick, untrained dog, and a business who thinks it's a good idea to personally attack people s kids! Don't support a business that treats people and dogs this way. There are many other great options for dog trainers who actually support and care for dogs and their owners.
These trainers are pros. They also work with you by boarding your fur baby all week and teaching you skills to practice all weekend. They are training the owners as well as the pups.
I feel so lucky to have been introduced to Dan, Natasha, and the team at DPT. My dog had severe separation anxiety when I started working with them and they ve trained her (and I) through it. If you are willing to put in the work, these folks can help you and your dog with most any issue.
Amazing work with all sorts of dogs. We tried 5 other trainers, Dan was the only one that helped.
Dan Perata and his entire staff/family is phenomenal. I rescued a beautiful black lab pit mix with an abusive and negeleted past. She was completely shutdown and fearful of everything. They will train your dog and they will train you. They will tell you they are in it for the long haul with you. They mean it. We did "Dan Camp" which is slotted for 4-6 weeks. Dan and his staff worked with us far past the 6 week mark for no additional charge. Additionally, outside having a great training regimen and great staff, these are high quality people. I encountered a challenging living situatuon where I could not have my dog in the apartment and needed to move immediately. I called Dan at 9:45pm on a Friday. He and his wife called me right back, we worked out a plan and they took my dog for an additional two weeks while I figured out my living situation. I went from having a nonresponsive, emotional wreck of a dog, to a happy, healthy dog I can walk off leash and get compliments on everywhere I go. If you sign up with Dan, buy into his program, and do what they tell you to do, you will see great results. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.
Dan Perata is an amazing trainer and an awesone staff and facility. He worked Miracles with my rescued stray dog who had some serious issues. He also taught me a lot about dogs in the process. I highly recommend the investment in training with Dan, you will have a wonderfully behaved dog, learn a lot and enjoy your years with your behaved dog and knew skills.
The quality of the people who work here and there service,,,,excellent !! I would definitely trust my best friend with these people.....
