Welcome to Proactive Dog Training
Puppy Training, Private Dog Training Sessions, Dog Training Boot Camp, Off Leash Dog Training, and Dog Board and Training Located in Cary, North Carolina.
My name is Javier Mendoza-Diek and I am a dog trainer, a Zoologist, and a veterinary technician. I was born and raised in Tegucigalpa, Honduras and I have always had an intense curiosity towards animals and more specifically their behaviors.
To me dog training is not all about fancy tricks, yes it is cool to get a dog to speak on command or dance a full dance routine but that is not what is relevant to the everyday pet owner. The truth about being successful on training a good dog has to do with rewarding the right state of mind and correcting the wrong one. A dog that is aware that his behavior has good or bad consequences is a dog that is more likely to make correct choices and therefore be a ‘good dog’.

We just got back our dog Hank yesterday. Javier and his staff are wonderful. You can tell they really love and care for all the dogs. I would recommend them to anyone who is having issues with their dog.
Javier and the entire staff at Proactive are nothing short of amazing. Dropping my little girl off for two weeks was a little scary but the minute I walked in their door I felt totally at ease and very safe. My Zoey girl is an amazing Labrottie and now she is calm, gentle and very well behaved thanks to Proactive Dog Training.
Javier and his team are the best. We signed up our 14-week-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd for his two-week training boot camp and she came back so well trained. If you know the breed, you'll know that says a lot. My wife and I are new puppy and new Belgian/Shepherd owners - so needless to say we were inexperienced. Proactive Dog Training did a fantastic job with both the pup and my wife and I. We're very impressed and highly recommend. Thank you Javier and team - we look forward to future trainings and boardings when we travel!!
