  • "Our 8 month old Lab Molly was a terrible nightmare. My wife and I thought we had purchased the wrong bred for our family. When we decided that the only way we could keep her is if she could be trained. Within one week it was like someone gave us a new dog. We could not believe how much our professional trainer LeSandro Guzman changed our puppy to be such a pleasure to have in our family. We cannot say “Thank You” United We Train for being so professional and teaching not only our puppy but us to know all the commands we needed to continue enjoying her. I will be definitely referring your company to others."

    I can’t say enough good things about how well LeSandro is at training. Our Dane was afraid of everything and he had the patience and understanding to work with her anxieties. The very first night LaSandro had her going in her crate like it didn’t bother her at all. The amount of videos and communication is well beyond expectations. His training of our Great Dane AND us is so much more than expected. And we feel very confident we can call/text/video any questions or concerns in the future and LeSandro will be there for us and our Dane

  • "Our one-year-old terrier had become very reactive to noises, other people, new experiences and was truly living up to her name, Sassy. We chalked it up to her being “just a puppy” but her behaviors were getting worse, and we were getting exhausted. After interviewing several Knoxville training companies, we found United We Train and could not be happier with the results. After a three-week Board and Train, Sassy came home, more confident, eager to learn new commands and can even be off leash when in the neighborhood. LeSandro’s training approach (with Sassy AND us) was customized to our goals. Now Sassy goes with us everywhere and can even dine alfresco at local restaurants. She is now the calm, obedient, fun to be around, dog we always wanted."

  • “When I got my Rescue dog Gigi, she was 6 months old. She had been returned by her first owner for being too aggressive. We found her to be extremely shy and skittish. She was terrified of most people. We entertain a lot and Gigi barked for hours if there was a stranger in the house. LeSandro began his training of Gigi and of us. This tiny rescue dog became a very confident little lady. He taught us how to introduce her to others. He taught us how to walk on a leash without pulling us over. He made a tremendous difference in our lives. LeSandro is loving and caring of the pets under his care. We miss him. He is a gem.”

  • “I could not have found a more patient and knowledgeable trainer with LeSandro. My dog Maiah automatically stops at every street curb and ignores other dogs when we walk. Almost every person we meet when walking is impressed by Maiah’s obedience. I feel she was trained by the best person. I wanted a dog for walking and that is what I got with Maiah..”

  • “We highly recommend LeSandro as a professional dog trainer who is trustworthy, meticulous, and a great communicator. We had private one-on-one sessions, and also Board & Trained, our dog with him. LeSandro made sure he understood our specific needs and worked with our high energy dog to address her reactivity. Attached first photo is from one of the many outings LeSandro took our dog on while she boarded with him. We especially appreciate that LeSandro trained with us, and on his own, in a variety of real world locations, including parks, downtown and even a skate park. He also made sure to teach us the skills we needed to continue the positive results we saw post training. Our dog is always happy when she sees LeSandro, so we know that not only are his training methods effective but it was also a positive experience for her..”

  • "LeSandro is a great dog trainer. Really helped us with our 5 lb maltese Dolly when she was about a year old and driving us insane with her barking and leash aggression. As a mom of 3 small children, I needed someone to help whip her into shape and LeSandro did just that. Now Dolly gets to go more places with the family than she otherwise would have and we are so grateful for LeSandro."

  • LeSandro is the most amazing trainer! He worked wonders with our rescue dog Jimmy. And he was extremely patient with us, demonstrating and explaining everything so clearly. Very highly recommend! (PS we call him the dog-whisperer!)

  • We first met LeSandro in the summer of 2022 at the most highly regarded dog training facility in Santa Barbara, K-Nine Solutions. Eager to start our nine- week golden retriever puppy, Ellie in a training program, we were matched with LeSandro, who was one of the lead trainers. We immediately felt at ease with his vast knowledge and experience with training dogs. We looked forward to each training session together as he taught our dog, and then relayed what was covered in the lessons to us for consistency. We worked on all the early essential commands such as sit, stay, down and place. We couldn’t believe how Ellie quickly exceled with LeSandro, especially with all the high energy a puppy has! We immediately saw improvement and calmness with the commands he taught her. He also introduced her to many social skills with people and other dogs as well as loud street noises. LeSandro even worked with our older golden, Shiloh to benefit from the training Ellie was receiving. LeSandro was so helpful in guiding us all the dog training tools, and even sent many useful links to the best training leashes and dog accessories, which were most effective. We were so sad (especially Ellie & Shiloh) when LeSandro and his wife Sarah moved across country for a new life to pursue his passion and dream to be the best at what he does. His patience and commitment for training dogs, as well as their owners, is something we will never forget. We highly recommend United We Train to anyone who seeks this highly professional and effective training program for your dog at any age.

  • This is the best dog training company ever! Baxter is so well behaved and gets along with other people and dogs. We can take him anywhere and not worry about him misbehaving. He also does amazing off leash! Not only was it training for him, it was training for us! Lesandro and Sarah were patient, kind, and such professionals! We couldn’t have done it without them! We appreciate them so much. Thank you thank you thank you!!

  • "Highly recommend United We Train. Lesandro/trainer helped our newly adopted dog, Dixie with adjusting with our other 2 dogs. We really enjoyed the one on one sessions and learned so much."
