Bespoke Canine Training

I cannot recommend Bespoke Canine Training highly enough. I wish I was allowed to give a 12-star rating! I have a six-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Benjamin Button, who is expected to reach 95 to 110 pounds. It is essential that I can walk him without pulling and that he greets people and other animals in a calm, controlled manner. After a few private lessons with Estevin, I was so impressed by his positive reinforcement techniques and his responsible use of training tools—which produced almost instant results—that I decided to enroll Benny in the two-week board and train program. During those two weeks, Estevin provided daily updates and videos of Benjamin’s progress. The level of basic obedience Benny displayed after just a few days was incredible; he was staying in place, heeling, and walking calmly past other dogs. What impressed me most was seeing how much Benny truly enjoyed working with Estevin. The foundation of obedience and good behavior that Estevin built in Benjamin is fantastic and has made the start of our journey together much better. Benny and I look forward to continuing private lessons with Estevin so that hopefully, I can learn as much as Benjamin has. Janet Whitaker

We cannot recommend our Estivin enough. We have a 9-month-old Aussiedoodle, Hank, who is very smart and active, but was also very confident and constantly testing boundaries. Before training, he pulled on walks, had almost no impulse control, and would try to grab anything out of our hands the second he saw it. Estivin also sent us video updates almost every day so that we could see his progress while he was away. I had no doubt that Hank was safe, and having the best time at training while also learning and developing his impulse control. The biggest change has been the freedom and trust we now have with him. We are able to walk with him off leash confidently because he stays close and checks in with us constantly. It has completely changed our relationship with Hank and made life so much more enjoyable for both us and him. He gets to actually be free and enjoy being a dog without us constantly worrying about what he is going to do next. We are so thankful that Estivin was able to give us the structure and focus we wanted without any change to Hank's personality. He is also always available to answer questions throughout the process, which made a huge difference for us as first-time owners navigating training consistency. At pickup, he was extremely comprehensive in showing us exactly how to maintain the training at home, and how to properly communicate with Hank moving forward. We never felt like we were just handed our dog back and left on our own. We are beyond grateful for the work, care, and time that went into him.

We chose to do the two week board & train for our 2 year old doodle, Otis, and couldn’t be happier! Otis came to us as a stray and didn’t know any of the basics, in addition to being overly excited with people and other animals. Excitability was a 10/10, no leash manners, no self restraint, and bolting was a huge issue. We needed to find a great trainer. From the moment we met Estivin I felt very comfortable and was eager to get started. Overall, I’m very happy with the whole experience and I especially appreciated the daily updates that included photos and videos to showcase the progress made. Otis has truly been transformed while still being the sweet, happy, lovable boy that he is! I can tell that Otis was well taken care of during his time in training and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. In fact, we plan to use the same service for our new puppy once she’s a little older. It has been a few days since Otis has been home and Estivin has come by to check in and make sure there weren’t any issues that I needed help with, which was appreciated. I definitely needed some training myself because this will be an ongoing effort to ensure long term success. He has also been very responsive to the several questions I’ve had along the way and has given me the tools I need to be confident and consistent. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend!

I enrolled my 9 month old golden retriever in the 2 week board and train program. Prior to the training, she was extremely difficult to walk on the leash and definitely needed training and a confidence boost. Fast forward two weeks and she is a completely new dog. She is doing extremely well on the leash and appears much more confident. Estivin provided daily updates with pictures and videos and communication was never an issue. I would definitely recommend using Estivin for any dog training needs and am extremely grateful for the positive results we experienced.

I signed up with the two week board and train and could not be happier. Estivin sent daily progress reports with pictures and videos and I was amazed at what he accomplished in just the first few days. He listened to what our needs were and focused on that during the training process. After the training was complete he spent time at our house making sure I understood the new commands for our nine month old rescue golden doodle puppy. Before the puppy went to training, we could not get him to stay in a crate for proper house training. When the puppy came back, it was easy for him to stay in the crate. Estivin is amazing with dogs. I highly recommend using him for any type of dog training. He’s even followed up several times to make sure the dog is doing well, and offered coming back to our house if there’s any extra help needed. Thank you Estivin!
