Dear Carlos:

 

We just wanted to say thank you for the quality training you provided to our dogs.  We cannot believe how obedient and well behave they are at the house.  It's a pleasure to live with them and it's a big relief!  We realize that we learned living with them is a comfortable and loving thing.       

 

Thank you.

Carlos,

 

I would like to let you know how pleased I am with our training results over the past six months. Before we started training together many people told me that I had a great dog, but also one that was very hard to train. You took the time to evaluate me and my dog and figure out a training routine that would work for both of us.

 

Because of your individualized training program the sport of Schutzhund has been brought to a whole new level for both Sunny and myself.

 

Thank You,

Hi,
My name is Elaine and I am proudly owned by a big, red, male Doberman named Dublin. We've done many things, and some of them were quite a challenge. I had his AKC Championship and his AKC obedience titles and decided to do agility. We had some rough times until I found the right trainer. She was (and still is) awesome. Chris had an understanding of my dogs needs and helped us both work as a team. All his agility titles I give her credit for.
Dublin got injured and his agility career came to an end. However, he was used to training 3-4 days a week and trialing on the weekends. Retirement was not an option...he still wanted to work. Another good friend of mine had been bugging me to get him started in tracking. So we embarked on tracking. Started out in Jan. in about a foot of snow. I took him out once a week and we tracked. I did a Tracking Education day with a local tracking club. I learned a lot about how AKC rules and regs worked, and how a dog is able to track. I also learned a bit about how the handler "Handles". The club had a Tracking match, which we entered and Dublin passed and was then certified as a result. In the meantime, the AKC came out with new titles for dogs who completed agility titles, obedience titles and tracking titles ~ in different degrees. I wanted one (Veracity Companion Dog). I entered two tracking trials...he failed miserably. I went back out on weekends and "worked" him...he did not improve. Several people tried different things...but nothing was working. Then another friend and I went out one early morning to track and after seeing Dublin and speaking with me, she recommended Carlos Rojas.
 

Carlos was to tracking what Chris was to agility. He watched the dog work, and saw the problem. He can read the dogs and he knew what had to be done to make Dublin successful. We went out twice a week, every week for 2 1/2 months ~ the dog wasn't the only problem (as in agility, I take 50% of the blame) and Carlos worked on both ends of the lead. I'm proud to say that Dublin is the 1st AKC Champion in the history of Doberman's to achieve (as of this writing, I'm still waiting for confirmation) the VCD-2 (advanced agility, advanced obedience and Tracking). Carlos gets all the credit for his TD and I thank him for all his help. I'll be starting my rescue dog with him as well...I don't like repeating mistakes and when I wanted a mentor in Tracking, I got the best...

Learning to work my Dobermans with Carlos Rojas has been a tremendous benefit to both myself and my dogs.  They are happily learning, constantly improving, and most importantly, I am learning.

 

The combination of Carlos's expertise and Carlos's ability to communicate to me and my dogs is simply wonderful.

Carlos,

Thank you once again for the great dog we got from you. 

We could not have gotten a better puppy.  She has her share of puppy moments,  but she is an extremely smart and loving dog.  She is very social with other people and dogs, yet also very protective of her house.

The training you did with her was amazing and she loved working
with you.  You are truly a miracle worker.  We can't wait to bring Freya back for the next level of training.

Thank you again,

Deciding where to bring your dog for training is not easy, you want to do the right thing for your pet, you want to be assured that your dog will be treated with love and care, and at the same time be obedience trained so that your family and you can share in the exciting and wonderful experience of having a dog be a part of your life.  

Carlos Rojas is a master dog trainer and breeder of high level German Shepherds, his breeding program utilizes bloodlines from the top European working lines.

I have trained with Carlos for over four years, we train in Schutzhund, a dog sport that requires precise obedience, powerful protection work, and tracking, which is the ability for a dog to follow a track just from the scent of footsteps. The dog must not only excel in these three disciplines, the dog must also display an enjoyment of working as a team with the handler, this enjoyment of the dog and handler comes with the training being done with love and positive motivation.

It has taken me a long time to begin to understand how Carlos attains the consistency in his training. To start he evaluates the dog and trains every dog differently based on the dogs temperament, personality and other criteria’s. The most important talent that Carlos has, and I believe it to be a natural gift, is his ability to look into the dog’s soul, and understand what he needs to do to communicate with each and every dog. I have seen dogs bond instantly with Carlos, he puts his hands on the dog, makes the dog comfortable, and magic happens, the dog responds as if they have known each other forever.

Well I hope you and your dog have the best life together.

Dear Carlos

Thank you for your email, we are already seeing a difference and I have no doubt that with your training she is going to be an amazing dog.  I will work hard on the socializing aspect of it all, yesterday after your training we took her to my mother-in-law's house and then Steven's aunt from Florida, her husband and two kids came over and we could not believe how much better Zoe was, she licked them and sniffed them and did not even try and hide when they wanted to pat her.  You are truly a miracle worker with dogs.

Dear Carlos & Ai,

Thank you for breeding such an awesome dog, Sol is loving, strong, athletic & fearless.

I take her to work with me at a small airport and she welcomes all strangers and she loves
children.  Her favorite activity is diving into our pool, she is a great swimmer.  We cannot

wait until we get another pup from you, we've already picked out a name!

Thanks,

Hey Carlos & Ai,

We just wanted to thank you guys for breeding such a great dog.  You picked a perfect dog for our family.

Roman (Uileog) has the perfect temperament. He's great with the kids. He has become quite a babysitter.

I also want to say you did a great job of teaching me to train the dog. He's come a long way. Oh and thanks

for being there to answer all of our silly questions. I'm sending along some pictures for your site. Thanks again

and we'll see you in a couple of months.

Hi Carlos, Hi Ai,

 

Rob & I just want to THANK YOU sooooooooooooooo much for training Mickey.  He is such a joy to be around.  We couldn't be happier and we couldn't have done it without you.  Please feel free to use us as referrals.  We were very apprehensive to let our dog leave us for 4 weeks, and we are so glad we DID!!!  those few weeks had such an impact - they made our lives manageable and have had a lasting impact.  The chaos has been replaced with serenity.

 

I've enclosed some pictures of Mickey and our other dog Bula (who he no longer terrorizes!!).....

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Dear Carlos,

 

Just need to say thank you so much. Harley has really become a great city dog. He enjoys people, other dogs and animals, no problem with his social life at all. Your obedient training is so great! I am very satisfied with the result. I was not sure if you gave me my dog back. Because, I am also amaze on how he has over come his fear of bikes, motorcycles, trucks and loud noises.  He is wonderful in the house and out. It's so great the way he listens to my commands and walks by me without a leash and I don't have to worry about him running away.  What else can I say? You gave me a new, improved dog that the whole family can love, enjoy and appreciate. You're Wonderful! And again, Thank You

Carlos,

 

Congratulations on the arrival on your new addition!!!  I look often at your website for new pictures of the baby.  Best Wishes!!!!!

 

I had wanted to send you some pictures of Bruno that we had taken recently.  In some pictures he is with our daughter, Gianna.  He is doing very well!!!!  He is now 100lbs but VERY active and LOVES to go to the park, play ball, and go for long walks.  Bruno is just an amazing dog!!!  We all love him soo much!  He is very protective of Gianna, which we love.  I continue to train him every few days using the techniques that you had shown me in class.  He responds right away!!  Bruno responds very well when I call him and NEVER leaves my side.  I can't tell you enough just how much those classes have helped him and I.  I understand him much more now and he is always eager to please.

 

We are hoping to bring Bruno back for the next level of classes in the near future.  Until then, I will continue to send you pictures of the amazing dog which you have bred.  Take care and give our best to your family!!!

 

Sincerely,

Jennifer & Christopher DiTitio (Swederboro, New Jersey)
