Certified Trainer, WooF Dogs

Lucas Barreto joined WooF Dogs after completing advanced certifications in behavioral modification and applied animal behavior. He works primarily with private training clients across Palm Beach and Broward Counties, focusing on in-home sessions that address real-world behavioral challenges in the environments where they actually occur. Lucas brings a detail-oriented approach to owner coaching — his sessions prioritize teaching the owner the mechanics of training as much as shaping the dog's behavior.
