Who I Am
Robert Rodriguez is a professional dog trainer, resident of Forest Hills, Queens, New York. Robert is a NePoPo® Gold School Graduate. NePoPo® is a Dog Training System where the dog learns to perform the behavior on cue always, with heart and soul.
He teaches all American Kennel Club Certifications (AKC). You will be pushed to learn environmental obedience training, off leash training, dog agility, pass the AKC public access test, learn AKC Scent Work, National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW) and much more.
In my lessons you learn all the advantages and disadvantages of positive and negative reinforcements. My dog training system centers around teaching basic to advanced methods to the dog owners directly. Our Board and Train Program is video documented and short clips are posted as episodes on our YouTube Channel.
Robert Rodriguez is a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals, and is a Canine Nutritionist specializing in the Raw Foods Diet. Visit our shop page for dog equipment.

He has helped make my dog Bean obedient and walks right along my side now! I didn’t think I would have been able to find someone to help me but Rob went the extra mile to make sure Bean behaves. He is extremely responsive and reliable and I could not think of anyone else who could’ve done what he did. THANK YOU ROB. read less - 9/28/2021

Robert went above and beyond my expectations. He takes the time to educate owners and ensure they understand the fundamentals and theory behind his approach. He offers a combination of private sessions and group classes ensuring that your pup gets the one-on-one attention needed to understand and work through issues while also providing a safe supportive group environment to work through real-life scenarios under varying levels of distraction. In addition to obedience training he introduces dogs to scent work and agility opening up the possibilities to build on their skills. With such an active and intelligent breed, this is ideal for our needs.My dog and I have been working with Robert for 6 months now and have seen a vast improvement in her obedience and overall behavior. It’s made a world of difference in our relationship and improved my confidence as a handler. I now have a foundation that I can use to problem solve training challenges as she learns new skills.I cannot recommend Robert highly enough. If you’re ready to start and serious about training your pup you will not be disappointed. read less - 10/28/2021

I often run into him walking several dogs and they are so well behaved, thanks to Rob. He is the Dog Whisperer of Forest Hills! If I had known about his raw dog food when my dog was alive maybe he would have lived longer. If you love your dog please take his advice and give him/her the right food, it really makes all the difference in the world! read less - 11/28/2014

He was really lazy and sometimes would get outta control. So I had enough of it and gave this guy a call. It's been about 6 months since he started working with my dog. He explained how his product works and made it very easy for me to actually understand. Now my dog weights about 90lbs and he looks a lot more healthier and he's very active. Just give this a call and you won't regret it. Ps all dogs love him read less - 11/28/2014
