CLIENT FEEDBACK

Pickles, Jo and Andy

Rehabcanino “Freddy” is a canine whisperer. Our English bulldog Pickles is stubborn, and could be mistaken for a child as his personality and character traits are both similar. Under Freddy’s tutelage Pickles listens, learns quickly and is turning into a well mannered pup. He’s our service dog so we needed him well trained, but we didn’t want him to loose his personality. Freddy came to our home to evaluate Pickles and had an immediate grasp on Pickles personality. Unfortunately we were scheduled to return stateside, but Freddy was willing to do online training. Freddy communicates with us on line weekly and we chat in between video appointments. Training online has been easy as Freddy gets back to us right away and walks us thru issues or plateaus. We look forward to face to face advanced training when we return in Sept. if you want a trainer who is caring, compassionate, honest, and a behavioralist as well. Freddy – Rehab Canine is your canines new best friend. (Yours too). 5 stars.

Last October me, my husband and 2 dogs, moved to Costa Rica from Canada. We have a fully fenced
property but wanted to enjoy seeing the world outside the walls with the dogs. Unfortunately, my very
dog reactive German Shepherd was completely undone by all of the dogs running loose on the streets.
We couldn’t get to the end of our street without at least 4 incidents. And it was a sure bet that one of
us was going to get hurt as he lunged and then backed into me entangling us both.
A friend found a business card for Rehabcaninio at Dra Wendy’s in Jaco. Freddy came over to assess and
agreed to help us. Our journey over the past few weeks has had many ups and downs, but we have
been given the tools to push past and move forward. One of the most impressive things for me was how
available and open Freddy is. He checks on us daily, asks how things are going, answers questions. It
isn’t just lessons btu the in between support that is so critical and so welcome.
Now we enjoy group lessons and I walk him around our neighborhood, in Jaco and at the beach. We
continue to work on new things and move toward our goals. Freddy has had a huge impact not only on
our outdoor activities, but all of the lessons learned in the outside translate to excellent behavior inside.
When and how to correct is probably the most critical thing any dog owner needs to know.
Recommend Rehabcanino without reservation.

I moved to Jaco July 2021 and I was looking for a professional trainer for my 18 months old Briard, Porsche. She is a certified service dog and I needed someone with experience and knowledge to keep the training up to date. I was advised to check into Federico’s and Rehab Canino’s services. From the very first moment I knew I had found the perfect person for all my needs with Porsche. Not only training, but also playing, walking, grooming and boarding. Federico is Porsche’s step dad. After she spends time with him, she comes home so well behaved and obedient. I am so happy to have Federico in my life because he has made my relationship with Porsche so much more enjoyable!

I started training my dog with Rehab Canino in 2021 and since we started training here are the things I noticed over the past year! He stopped chewing on anything that isn’t his and now i know how to properly mental stimulate him so he won’t do so! he doesn’t jump any more instead he’ll wait or sit.

He is much better on the leash – I feel more confident walking him and don’t get as annoyed if he pulls because now I know how to correct him. My biggest goal was to take him hiking as I could NOT before he was crazy on the leash pulling me so hard I’d fall, and if I let him off he would take off. I take him hiking once a week now and I’m SO happy! He is so good on the leash when we hike and if I let him off he stays close and Always checks how far I am or for me to tell him what to do. The other big thing is commands, he is so smart with the recall i am confident to take him anywhere now.

The training also strengthened my bond with him and overall made me so much more confident as his dog mom!!!! I can take him anywhere as well now, he is more well behaved and not anxious in public!

I also board Cedro with Rehab Canino anytime I travel! I am grateful he has a safe place to stay while having fun and continuing to grow.
