Robert Velazquez

Head Of The AZ Dog Boss Pack & Master Dog Training
I have always been passionate about serving people and loving animals. I have been raising, caring for and tending to German Shepherds, Shetland ponies and Arabian horses from a young age and it has been an amazing journey. I have also found myself involved in other ventures and interests along the way, but K9s have always been by my side.

What AZ Dog Boss Clients Are Saying

We adopted Max as a stray. He looks like a lab, but little did we know he was also mixed with a Great Dane! We weren't prepared for the type of behaviors we would encounter simply because of his size! We noticed a change in Max even after just one session with Robert. He really wanted Max to be successful, and took the time to understand the specific things that Max was struggling with in our home. He worked with Max and gave us the tools to help shape his behavior for the better. Robert was so patient and caring, and his training worked wonders for Max. We are so grateful to Robert and his program!
