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. Lou 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 Lou'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 Lou 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 Lou for anyone who’s struggling with a reactive dog whether it’s a mild or severe case!

Hello everyone! I'm Lou, a Behavioral Specialist at Mango Dogs Tampa, serving our vibrant city and its surrounding areas. I own a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois named Stoney. She helps me with working out behavioral issues with all my clients and she will show you how awesome your dog(s) could be.
Years ago I struggled with my dog Doja, she was reactive and aggressive towards both dogs and humans. I found it difficult to find a trainer that worked with cases like she had. Since then I devoted my entire career in helping struggling dog because I never had that support.
Behavioral issues, off leash reliability, reactivity, or addressing reactive and aggressive behaviors, I specialize in providing personalized solutions for leash and off-leash training dilemmas. With nearly a thousand dogs trained in the Tampa area, I'm here to support you by providing a real fix to your issues. If you're grappling with any dog-related issues, don't hesitate to reach out – I'm excited to help you trust your dog again.
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.
