What Clients Are Saying
My Belgian Malinois, Echo, was a rescue from the animal shelter. She was showing very aggressive behavior around crates, Toys and people. She did not know any commands and did not know how to walk on a leash properly. Cody took her on and trained her for four weeks. Echo now knows over 15+ commands, can walk excellently on and OFF leash, is responsive to her E-collar training, is no longer aggressive towards her toys, food and other dogs! I can take her into many stores including those with other dogs and she is so focused on doing her job. Really looking into her being my service animal now. I would recommend Mango Dogs and Cody's services to everyone and anyone.

My German shepherd Luca was reactive towards dogs especially in our apartment complex. He would lunge, growl, hyper-fixate, etc. After working with Cody for a few weeks at home, Luca has improved A LOT inside and outside of where we live. While he still gets a little nervous at times, he isn’t lunging or barking at other dogs when they walk by us. We’ve been able to work on his place out in public settings so he can watch other dogs go by. I’d highly recommend Mango Dogs and Cody for anyone who’s struggling with a reactive dog whether it’s a mild or severe case!

2: AGGRESSION REHABILITATION
Talk about stress. Owning a dog with a history of aggressive behaviour is next-level stress and a huge liability. In some cases, we can tame your wild beast, and they will return to their earlier social self. Some dogs we’ve worked with in this program are able to frequent dog parks, and others need to be a little more specific about what they can and can not do with their dog.
The truth is, some dogs are just not social with humans, or dogs, or both. We can’t force your dog to be social, but we can make damn sure they are safe and controlled. In these cases, it’s our job to help you override your dog's aggressive tendencies and build into them an insane amount of impulse control and obedience. Think of impulse control as (a dog doing what you want instead of what they want)
The future for your dog can be bright in 95% of cases, even if they are being medicated for their behavioural issues. Reactive and aggressive dogs are our specialty at Mango Dogs and we’ve helped thousands of dogs just like yours. We’ll show you what to do and when to do it, but you have to do the work over the long term. You can’t use our techniques and tools for a few weeks or a few months and stop cold turkey without your dog reverting back. There is NO way to help an aggressive dog that doesn't involve the dog owner putting in the time over the long term, but we'll hold your hand the entire way.
We typically do 4-5 private lessons at your home and then transition into our weekly group classes, then you will transition into our weekly Group Classes to help you maintain all of your awesome new results. We use an ecollar in this program, and it will be included in the cost of your program.

Our Dog Trainers In Tampa, FL
Moe Zaki
Owner and Behavioral Specialist
Do you have a problem dog that has bad behavior, reactivity & aggression!? If so, I can totally relate on what you are going through!! 14 years ago I first laid eyes on my best friend “Zezu” a German Shepherd puppy.
I was convinced that I had done enough research to take on the challenge of training & owning a GSD. Boy! Was I in for a surprise! Things seemed to be going as planned for the first 6 months of caring for Zezu, however soon after those precious months, issues started to develop.
Zezu was getting out of control quickly and it was starting to effect my life a lot. I stopped taking him to the park because of his aggression, and I had to start walking him at night time after the sun went down to avoid other dogs.
After suffering for another 9 months I finally found someone that could mentor me from start to finish. Ted was exactly what I needed. He didn't waste time with methods that didn't work, yet he had a soft touch with Zezu. The results were amazing! Before we knew it, we could be out around other dogs without fear of Zezu attacking one of them.
Now all of these years later, I'm the owner of Mango Dogs Tampa. and I get to help people who are struggling with their dogs just like I was.
I'm a hard working guy who's married, has two kids, and I have two awesome dogs! I hold several certifications and I’ve been a proud professional member of the international association of canine professionals for many years.
CODY GROSS
Professional Dog Trainer And Behavioral Specialist
Hey everyone! My name is Cody and I help struggling dog owners in the Tampa Area.
Hey Everyone! I jumped into the dog training world in 2017 when my wife came home with an adorable little puppy that we named Kemba. Kemba is an Aussie-mix that saved my life and gave me purpose after breaking my back in a bad car accident in the fall of 2016.
With being out of work for almost a year, I decided to look to Youtube for dog training and took matters into my own hands. That training journey has created some of the best moments of my life with many more to follow. Dog training has given me the opportunity to meet so many great people and dogs while also building relationships that I’ll cherish forever.
If you’re struggling with reactivity and/or aggression with your dog or if you’re looking for a better relationship with your dog, I would love to be the guy to help you reach your training goals.
My wife and I were born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina but chasing our dreams down here in Tampa, Florida in hopes to find endless sunshine and build a community with the help of our four legged companions.
The Mango Dogs Balanced Approach
As balanced trainers, we are able to take the great aspects from each style of training and utilize it where needed.
We use food, treats, praise, toys to encourage our dogs and our clients dogs to do the things that we want them to do. This type of motivation is particularly important when training fearful dogs and dogs with anxiety.
- Positive methods are easy and fun for anyone to implement
- Positive methods keep the dog being trained happy and engaged
Where things fall apart...
- Positive based methods are un-reliable when the distraction is very high
- Many of our clients do not want to have to carry around treats for the rest of their dogs life
Positive only training works well... until it doesn't
Our training works in the real world. At your front door. On your walks, at the park, anywhere!
Using Corrections And E-collars
But all is not lost. We can also use corrections to keep your dog accountable and make them more reliable. Corrective techniques are incredible when looking to STOP bad behaviors.
We are e-collar specialists, we can streamline the process for you and make sure that you are using the tool humanely.
We use food, toys praise wherever we can, and correction whenever we must.
E-collar training is an essential part of training hard to train dogs off leash, we routinely train beagles, huskies, even wolf hybrids off leash. It's versatile because it can be used to stop many bad behaviours, and can be used while on leash, off leash, in the house, in the yard, or at the park.
The e-collars we use have 3 modes. Tone, Vibration, and Pulse Correction. The pulse correction feels like a Tens Unit that chiropractors and physiotherapy clinics use as a muscle stimulator. This pulse correction is adjustable from 1-100 levels which makes it a versatile tool that can be used on dogs of all sensitivity levels.
