Dogs are man’s best friend, but to enjoy a healthy and long-lasting relationship with your furry friend it is essential to train them. Training helps build confidence, provides mental stimulation and is one of the best ways to strengthen the human-animal bond as well as to understand what your animal tries to communicate to you. Training dogs, however, requires immense skills and flexible ideologies to identify the animals’ individual needs, qualities professional dog trainer Felix Rosado III has in abundance. The powerhouse now stands at the helm of Dog Training Beyond, and has helped thousands of families thoroughly enjoy their lives with their dogs over the last 12 years in the Dutchess County area in New York.
Felix Rosado III is an accomplished dog trainer and a certified behaviorist providing force-free, positive reinforcement training and behavioral rehabilitation for family dogs. Through his company, Dog Training Beyond, Felix takes dog training to a new level with his improved rehabilitation method without force, pain or intimidation. “I love dogs as well as the process of teaching and helping people. I GUARANTEE my training will work for your dog, no tricks or gimmicks, no harsh treatments; just real obedience for real family dogs like yours,” he assured.
With a core tenet that dog training is a never-ending process, Dog Training Beyond approaches training and behavioral rehabilitation in a distinct way that adapts the training to the dog’s needs and temperament, unlike many trainers who force their methods onto the dog and resort to starvation and intimidation to break the dog’s spirit and force it to adapt to their wants. For example, if the dog doesn’t want food as its reward, food will be held back until they do. Likewise, if the dog doesn’t want to play with a toy, the cruel trainers will force it to play.
The training method used at Dog Training Beyond ensures it familiarizes the dog, understands its wants and sets the training to its needs or desires. Whatever the dog naturally desires will be the reward for that dog, and if the dog does not want food or a toy as a reward, then verbal or physical praise will be employed. With this hands-on loving approach to caring for man’s best friend, the powerhouse company has expanded its reach from its headquarters in Dutchess County, New York, to Connecticut, in order to reach his goal of helping more dogs and their owners.
On top of being a successful entrepreneur dominating his industry and helping families build long-lasting bonds with their dogs, Felix is also happy to produce training and educational videos for social media. He has quickly grown to over 10,000 followers on his Instagram and is about to hit 1,000 subscribers on his YouTube. He is also on TikTok and several other platforms for his brand @DogTrainingBeyond and looks forward to eventually offering a virtual dog training program to help people all over the world. Felix has always loved animals, dogs especially, their beautiful eyes and soulful expressions tugging at the corner of his heart. In 2006, the devout animal lover got his first dog and best friend for life, Blade. However, his excitement over having a new furry friend was soon dampened as he was repeatedly disappointed by many dog trainers.
Not one to give up at the first sign of trouble, the quick-witted individual decided to pursue dog training, train his best friend and help others. After completing the basic dog training certification, Felix knew he needed a more hands-on approach before branching out independently. Fueled by his passion, he underwent obedience, behavior, and protection apprenticeships. After years of working with people and their dogs, training them in obedience, behavior, and protection, he knew this is what he was meant to do.
Felix’s story about getting a dog and not getting the results he wanted from dog trainers is not an uncommon one. What is uncommon is when that dog owner takes the extra step to become a dog trainer to help his dog live the best life possible. Even more incredible is how Felix has used his knowledge and experience to help thousands of other dog owners. Dog Training Beyond is proud to offer hope to families, showing a gentle way of developing a bond with a dog, especially to families that have tried other dog trainers with failed results,” he shared.
