We know that this was a challenge for you and you responded splendidly. At six to seven months old you were able to train him to pass the “canine good citizenship” certification, this in and of itself is an example of your outstanding talent and ability with our canine friends. Thanks again for helping our family!

Since then, Parker has done so well with other dogs approaching him and playing with them as well. People are able to pet him over his head and he allows for them to pet him tail wagging and all! Taking Parker to Travis was probably a life changing experience for me, my dog and my girlfriend. Our house is now calm and happy following Travis’ training and his applied knowledge. I highly recommend Travis and Unleash Fido to any dog owner who has trouble with training or any unwanted dog behavior.

What a pleasure! It really makes me proud and happy to see them flourish. I have gone for several follow-up sessions to help me to be able to reinforce what they have learned. This is been very helpful! Plus the dogs are super excited to be back at the facility and to see M@cayla. She is a very experienced trainer, and her own dogs are nothing short of amazing. The owner, Travis P, has assembled a fantastic team. They really care about all the dogs they are training. That is so important. I highly recommend Unleash Fido. You will be very happy with the results!

Smiling French Bulldogs looking up during outdoor dog training session-Jacksonville, FL

My dogs are wonderful, but they were not easy to walk or to go anywhere with. They pulled me down the sidewalk, barked at other people and dogs, were all over the place, especially when we went into stores, and jumped on people when they met them. They had no manners. It was embarrassing and dangerous. The youngest dog would shoot out the front door and run after cats or squirrels, even crossing busy roads. He wouldn't come when called. It was all too much. I am able to walk with them and go places without them losing their minds.

Happy Belgian Tervuren dog with tongue out sitting on artificial turf.-Dog Training, Jacksonville, FL

I absolutely love this place! The experience was life-changing. I have a Belgian Tervuren who had a dangerous hobby of lunging at and chasing cars! Honestly, he chased anything that moved. He was impossible to walk. We were both miserable. After the 5 week training my boy was able to walk with no issues at all! His trainer Kendra was knowledgeable and patient. She send photos and weekly updates. I can't thank Unleash Fido enough. They literally saved my sweet Theo.

The crew here knows what they're doing. I dropped my Belgium Malinois pup off at 13 weeks due to having to travel for a few months with work. She did the puppy boot camp and boarding. I'm amazed at how well she's doing… it's incredible. Travis, Macayla, and the crew are top-notch. I look forward to the continued relationship with you guys.

Our Bronx did great training at board and train. He has been home quite a while now and still knows his commands. They took good care of him with all of his meds and shampoos. And he got a fun little field trip to Bass Pro Shops before graduating.

Holly Emas

We had the most amazing experience with Unleashed Fido! We fostered our little dog, Dabble, before adopting him, and this was our first experience with both boarding and professional training. He stayed at Unleashed Fido for a month, and we truly could not have been happier. Not only was Dabble incredibly well cared for, but the difference in his behavior and training has been remarkable. He is so well behaved, follows commands, and came home happy and confident. The entire team, especially McKayla , went above and beyond—they are always available to answer questions, keep you updated, and make you feel completely comfortable while your dog is in their care. It was such an incredibly positive experience from beginning to end. We highly, recommend Unleashed Fido and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Dabble again. Knowing he’ll be somewhere he loves and is so well cared for gives us tremendous peace of mind. Unleashed Fido is truly an amazing place, and we are so grateful we found them.

Meagan Bell

Unleash Fido and their team are all FANTASTIC! Geena was our dog trainer; she was patient, very knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand our dogs personality and needs. The training techniques were clear , effective, and easy for us to continue at home. We went out of town and had her boarded and knew that our puppy would be in good hands!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Jake Herning

Macayla is very competent and knowledgeable. After working with her my dog is a completely different dog.

We had a great experience with this training program. My dog is very timid and anxious, and Geena did such a great job working with him and helping him build confidence. She was patient and really understood his needs. I also really appreciate the follow-up training appointments and how easy it is to communicate with them after the program. It’s nice knowing we still have support as we continue working with him at home. I’m very happy with his progress and would definitely recommend them!

Lauren Guerra

We got referred by multiple friends to use Unleash Fido for our Red Labrador Retriever and wow… was it the best investment ever! Just pull the trigger if you’re hesitant, it’s worth it for your sanity and your dogs! Maple is a year and a half, stage 1000 on the leash pulling, she has so much energy and strength. It was so frustrating/not fun taking her on our daily walks that sometimes we just wouldn’t because how bad she was. Fast forward we intended on leaving on vacation for almost a month. Sent her to Unleash Fido for their four week camp. And we came back to a different dog all thanks to Macayla! She was amazing with Maple and she really knows what she’s doing and is very knowledgeable, she was great I couldn’t recommend her enough! She knew exactly how to handle maple and teach us! Thank you Macayla!

Red R

My puppy Mochi was trained by Geena, I was worried at first because my girl was very shy of new areas and new people. After getting her first report card, I was very happy to see Mochi living her best life. She’s doing very well and we keep up with her training every day. Geena definitely made this a good experience and I’ve had no issues. Mochi does still recognize every time we drive over to the building and tends to get very exited. There is no price limit on how to care for your pup, 10/10

Daniel Diaz Brauch

Our experience at Unleash Fido was unbelievably good! They took our anxious, unpredictable and aggressive boy and returned him to us as a well-behaved member of our family. Everything was wonderful from beginning to end and we loved the weekly updates where we could watch our dog grow. Geena was our trainer and she was fantastic. Great communication and support every step of the way. We love you girl!

Lori Hurtak

It’s been about two months since Willa completed her board‑and‑train program with Geena Cantalupo at Unleash Fido, and I wanted to share an update because the results have truly held strong. Willa continues to show the same calm confidence Geena helped her build. Her separation anxiety has improved so much that she can relax on her own while I leave the house — something that used to be incredibly stressful for both of us. Her obedience and impulse control have stayed consistent, too. Leash manners, recall, and her ability to settle in new environments are still night‑and‑day better than before training. The structure Geena put in place has made everyday life smoother, and it’s clear that Willa learned skills she can actually maintain long‑term. I’m still so grateful for the foundation Geena gave her. This program wasn’t just a temporary fix — it genuinely changed our day‑to‑day life for the better.

William Wickenden

Geena helped our 3 yo retriever get over behavioral difficulties and build his confidence so much! After training with her, he’s still his goofy, lovable self and less reactive to other dogs and distractions. 10/10 experience all around.

When he was done with his dog training classes, Parker was genuinely a new dog

My German Shepherd ‘Parker’ was having issues with dogs approaching him as well as strangers. He used to snap at other dogs and be protective of me and my girlfriend. We sat down with Travis and he explained the role we needed to play in Parker’s life in order to make him happy and not anxious, stressed, and reactive. We decided to enroll Parker into Doggy Boot Camp under Travis. When he was done with his dog training classes, Parker was genuinely a new dog. His commands were spot on and his problems were solved with showing our dog leadership and training him. Since then, Parker has done so well with other dogs approaching him and playing with them as well. People are able to pet him over his head and he allows for them to pet him tail wagging and all! Taking Parker to Travis was probably a life changing experience for me, my dog and my girlfriend. Our house is now calm and happy following Travis’ training and his applied knowledge. I highly recommend Travis and Unleash Fido to any dog owner who has trouble with training or any unwanted dog behavior.

Hamilton continues to respond to all verbal commands and is well on his way to being an excellent service dog for Maureen.

I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how pleased we have been with your training of our Leonberger Hamilton. Maureen and I researched breeds to determine the best for her needs and we choose the Leonberger for its many fine qualities. This is a large breed dog and we were aware that it doesn’t fully mature until it is two years old. We know that this was a challenge for you and you responded splendidly. At six to seven months old you were able to train him to pass the “canine good citizenship” certification, this in and of itself is an example of your outstanding talent and ability with our canine friends. Thanks again for helping our family! Dick, Maureen & Hamilton
