Evelin Reynoso
CO-OWNER
As Co-Owner and Head of Operations and Client Services, Evelin plays a vital role in ensuring everything runs seamlessly both behind the scenes and in every client interaction. She frequently works alongside David during training sessions, providing hands-on support while helping build strong, lasting relationships between clients and their dogs.
Evelin’s journey into the animal world began with Enzo, her loyal companion who came into her life at just 10 months old. Their bond sparked a deep passion for dogs that grew into a fulfilling career. Today, she is the proud owner of four dogs—Enzo, Demerie, Myrtle, and Remus—along with two cats, Dwight and Mose, and her bunny, Ramona.
Outside of her work in dog training, Evelin manages a livestock and grazing operation, caring for chickens, goats, and other farm animals. Her passion for animals extends beyond pets to farm life, where she is dedicated to responsible land and animal management. Evelin also loves to cook and embraces living off the land, enjoying food prepared as nature intended. She values the balance of working closely with nature while maintaining a hands-on, sustainable approach to animal care.

David Pina
Owner and Head Trainer
David’s journey into the world of dog training began five years ago at a local dog facility, where he quickly discovered a deep passion for working with animals. As he began hunting with his own dogs, he realized the level of obedience and communication required for them to perform successfully in the field. That experience sparked a fascination with unlocking each dog’s unique potential through focused training and trust-building.
While obedience training remains his core specialty, David thrives when working with high-drive dogs that need more than just a walk around the block. He’s dedicated countless hours to studying dog genetics, canine psychology, and the most effective behavior modification techniques—always striving to bring out the best in every dog he works with.
David’s ultimate goal is to help you build a lasting, functional relationship with your dog by conditioning them to your lifestyle and expectations. With a strong belief that every dog can succeed with the right guidance, David approaches each training session with patience, purpose, and a genuine love for what he does.
In addition to his work as a trainer, David is also the owner of Pina Family Farms LLC, where he oversees livestock and land management. His commitment to working with animals extends beyond dogs, reflecting a deep respect for nature, hard work, and the responsibilities that come with farm life.
