Meet Austin, the Dogtor.
Dogtor Doolittle was founded by Austin Mendoza out of New Jersey. In 2020, Austin rescued a puppy that was poorly behaved. He was forced to teach him how to settle down, and a love for training began. Later that year, Austin was told that he was the modern day Doctor Doolittle, for his passion, love for animals, and strong belief that all dogs of any size and breed can be rehabilitated, and thus Dogtor Doolittle was born!

Testimonials
EXCELLENT Based on 38 reviews Posted on Google Christine Benebe de VeraMay 10, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came across Austin and his dog walking around the store. We spoke for a bit and it led me to his IG page. A few weeks pass and we decided to pursue training for our dog. She was a rescue and we got her as a puppy. Due to unstable schedules, tending to a sick parent and no consistency in training with people living in the house, our dog developed bad habits. She was reactive (barking at other people and dogs). She pulled on leash and was all over the place. She was fine with dogs at the dog park but it's a hit or miss what type of owner you'll get there. After 4 weeks with Austin's trainer (Cam? Kam?), she is responsive on leash. She doesn't bark at everything. She has a stronger stay and sit. They are showing us how to carry out the training at home. This is an investment. All people in the house need to put time into training. They've built a solid foundation for us but we (everyone in the house) need to put the work in to be able to continue and improve. She'll be a work in progress for sure but she has certainly come a long way . We recommend his services.Posted on Google Giovanna JaramilloMarch 21, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin is a great guy and an outstanding trainer! We put our crazy lab puppy into his four-week program and he came back very well-trained. Austin is very good at teaching you how to train your puppy. He’s very patient and absolutely knows what he is doing. I would recommend him to everyone I know with a dog who needs training!Posted on Google Monessa ConradFebruary 27, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dogtor Doolittle is awesome. Austin took my pittie mix puppy who was getting bigger and more "independent" by the day and turned her into a well trained young dog. It is a ton of work to maintain and I admit that I don't maintain that level but that's fine. He gave me the ability to adapt her to my lifestyle and home. Couldn't have done it without the Dogtor. Well worth the investment.Posted on Google Alexa BowmanJanuary 21, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin was so great to work with! We have a mini goldendoodle puppy and we needed help with basic training skills and obedience. We originally sent our pup for 2 weeks but Austin called me and said advised that keeping him another week would really make a huge difference in our pups training. We’re so glad we listened to Austin’s advice, we picked up a completely different dog than we dropped off. No more aggressive puppy nipping, no more pulling on the leash, and no more not listening. He really gave us a solid foundation that we were able to build off and maintain. We also loved that there were follow up sessions, our pup was so excited every time we returned for classes and saw Austin and his crew, it was like he was seeing family! Would 10/10 recommend for ALL dog types and 1000% worth the investment!Posted on Google KiyaDecember 21, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin made us feel welcomed as soon as we saw him for an evaluation. He understood the issue our dog was having and kept me updated during the 4 weeks of board & training. You can tell he is very passionate about his job and he provides all the tools you need to continue the training once you pick up your dog. He is definitely the go to if you have any type of issue with your dog from minor to major.Posted on Google Diana HernandezDecember 19, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a three year old pittbull and she was very aggressive when out in public with people and other dogs. She was a great dog at home but in public it was a disaster. Walking her was dreadful for me because she literally walked me. I would walk her very early in the mornings or very late in the evenings just to avoid people and dogs, I had no company for over nine months because everyone was afraid of her and what she could possibly do. This was becoming so frustrating for me and it’s not the kind of life I wanted for her. So after researching many places for training I was blessed to find the good doctor.(lol) I will say he really gained my trust and I was completely comfortable with all of his training and advise for Dior. I just wanted a better life with my dog. He totally made that happen. My walks are so much easier and peaceful with her. She no longer jumps on me when I walk in the house. She loves her crate. She no longer wants to eat anyone. Austin has also taught me how to deal with her in a much better way. He has made sense of all the things I was doing wrong and for that I am grateful to him and his wonderful team they are all so caring and kind. I am so glad I went with him because I had a good feeling from the moment I walked into his place. Austin and the team know that our dogs are our family and they took the time to help and explain along the way!! Thank you all for such a great job with Dior…❤️Posted on Google Kay BellsDecember 14, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Austin is an amazing trainer and everyone in the facility was really helpful with my dog.They were terrificPosted on Google Steven TooneDecember 11, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got my dog Ice trained here and it’s like night and day I highly recommend Dogtor DoolittlePosted on Google Emanuel ReyesDecember 11, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This man is the GOAT, want to get your dog trained? This is who you’re calling. When you got ghost in your house you call ghost busters. You got an untrained dog? You call the Dogtor.Posted on Google Sarah McEwenDecember 11, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dogtor Doolittle himself really is the dog whisperer!! He did not only fix aggression issues but my 100lb Rottweiler came home a happier, more relaxed than I’d ever seen him!! I would 100% recommend
