ABOUT US
AV has always loved animals, fascinated with their appearance, behaviors and natural abilities. At a very early age, Alex, having dogs of his own, quickly discovered the very special bond that dogs are able to develop with humans. Just like the first wolf that approached the campfire and ate from a human hand, the modern dog shares this ability to form an unbreakable, lifelong bond with humans.
With over 17 years experience, the AV Team has successfully trained over 5,000 dogs. AV’s training methods are based on pack theory, conditioning and behavior reinforcement. Our trainer excels in behavior modification through the use of commands and obedience drills.
We strictly maintain a kind, gentle practice with all our dogs. Regardless of a dog’s breed or background, our goal is to always promote positive relationships between humans and their four-legged best friends.

trainer AleX
Alex’s training career started at Miami Seaquarium as part of their training staff. Here, he had the opportunity to work around world-renowned marine mammal trainers and was able to understand the fundamentals of conditioning and behavior reinforcement to create a bond between animal and trainer.
Shortly after this, his strong passion for training animals led him to train canines and he began working in one of South Florida’s premier dog training companies. Alex was trained amongst multiple veteran dog trainers, allowing him to learn a wide range of training styles and philosophies that helped to shape his current unique training style.
Through the study and observation of canine behavior Alex is able to determine the needs of the dogs he trains and inform and educate the owner. This is one of the attributes that make Alex such a successful trainer, as he is able to understand and interpret everything the dog is trying to communicate through keen observation and experience.
