OUR TEAM
JUSTIN CAPPUCCINO
Founder IACP CDT/AKC EVALUATOR
As a young adult, it was my dream to become a Philadelphia Police Officer. I always aspired to become a K9 officer and was absolutely intrigued by the refined detailed and precise training of police dogs. I attended demonstrations with my father at the Philadelphia Police academy and could hardly wait to have a K9 Patrol Dog of my very own. After completeting 2 years of Criminal Justice studies at Bucks County Community College, I aquired a part-time job landscaping at a boarding kennel to make some extra money to pay down my student debt. Before I knew it, my career path had changed and I was apprenticing to become a professional dog trainer. Ever since, I have been training dogs full-time. I never would have imagined I would love my work this much.
Each dog is unique in its learning process and there is no "magic bullet" method. I focus on positive reinforcement, play, and relationship-based training to teach desired behaviors and expectations while also guiding clients on fair consequence and correction for rule-breaking and undesired behaviors. "Yes" and "no" commands provide clarity, and eliminate confusion, stress and anxiety. I reject "purely positive" or "dominance theory" approaches. Leadership is established through repetitive reinforcement and effective communication. Building a strong, trusting relationship is key in dog training. I eagerly await meeting you and your dog!

"We are beyond thrilled with the service and expertise provided by Justin and Sarah at Cappuccino Dog Training! Not only did they help us train our service dog to perfection, but the personalized approach and patience they showed throughout the process were exceptional. Tucker is now not only obedient and well-behaved but has the confidence to support our daughter in ways we couldn’t have imagined. The dog daycare has also been a lifesaver; Tucker absolutely loves it, and we have peace of mind knowing he is in a safe, stimulating environment.And I cannot leave this review without mentioning Sarah’s grooming! Tucker is a standard poodle and he comes back looking incredible every single time. The attention to detail is amazing; Sarah also takes such great care of our very old gal Kricket, who is 18 years young and has mobility issues so she needs to be handled gently. She loves spending the day with Sarah and all the other little dogs, I know 1000% she is safe and well cared for in Sarah and Justin’s hands. It’s hard to find a place that offers such comprehensive, high-quality services, and we feel so lucky to have found Sarah and Justin! We highly recommend them to anyone in need of training, daycare, or grooming services. Thank you for everything!
Erica Arcieri, Yardley PA
"As a rescue dog owner, finding a trainer who truly understands the nuances of rehabilitating and training dogs with past trauma is crucial. After working with Justin, I can confidently say cappuccino embodies the highest standards of professionalism and expertise.
From the moment we started, their knowledge of canine behavior was evident. The methods employed were not only effective but compassionate. They worked with our dog’s pace, never rushing or using forceful techniques. Instead, they fostered a calm and structured environment that allowed our dog to thrive and build confidence. This is exactly the kind of training that rescue dogs need – a balance of patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of canine psychology.
Communication was clear and ongoing throughout the process, and they provided detailed feedback and practical tips for reinforcing lessons at home. It’s clear they are not just knowledgeable but passionate about helping rescue dogs succeed in their new lives.
Highly recommend! "
Michele Fried, Warminster PA
"I did my homework when looking for dog trainers, daycare, and boarding options for our Hungarian vizsla. I was lucky to find all these services and more at Cappuccino Dog Training.
Justin and Sarah have dedicated their lives to the care and training of dogs. They are a “no nonsense, tell you the truth, genuinely want you and your dog to succeed” place. Our dog learned so much from an incredible board and train program at Cappuccino Dog Training and I was so impressed by the handholding and private (as well as group) sessions that allowed us as owners to learn what our dog was taught. In addition to the dog’s stellar training, I feel that I have personally reaped the benefits being a client of Cappuccino Dog Training. All I have to do is ask myself, “What would Justin do?” and apply that knowledge while working with our dog.
Justin taught us that teaching a dog self control and focus around distraction is critical, and that dog training is a lifelong journey.
I can’t say enough positive things about Justin and Sarah. I love talking to them, and I miss all the earlier training days that I am always thinking of new things to do with our dog so I can continue to learn from them.
We consider ourselves lifelong members of their pack!"

"Officer Peaches has officially completed her 6 week obedience course at Cappuchino Dog Training! Peaches passed her A.K.C. Star Puppy Test and will be taking her Canine Good Citizen test in the near future. Justin and Sarah at Cappucino Dog Training did an amazing job and we are so happy to have them as a significant part of Peaches journey. Peaches is so unbelievably well trained. Justin and Sarah are patient with the dogs.... and the handlers! We plan on continuing Peaches forever training with them."
Officer Peaches was put right to work in our township and she is having so much fun. We could not have done this without Cappucino Dog Training. Hats off to them!!

"Justin and Sarah at Cappuccino Dog Training Inc. have helped us transform our newly adopted pet from a fearful stressed out dog to the most amazing family pet my kids could ever dream for. They have helped us teach our dog to have obedience on leash, off leash and how to continue to be a very social dog. We used their board and train, weekly obedience lessons and still irises their daycare service. If you love your pet and wanted to be a responsible pet owner, I highly recommend their services. Thank you team for not only welcoming us into your pack but continuing to support our family!!"
Ajit Menon, Newtown PA
"My dog has been part of the Cappuccino Dog Training family for over three years and I can honestly say that it’s her second home! Bailey loves Justin, Sarah, and the entire crew. We started off with training, then Day care and then boarding. After a few experiments with other facilities, it was clear that Cappuccino Dog Training was the most dog-focused service in the area. They care for your dog as if s/he is their own. Their advice on everything from training to nutrition is nothing short of exemplary and is offered proactively and in the best interests of your pet. The breadth of their services is only matched by the depth and excellence of their execution!
At the end of the day, it’s people who make up a small business and I whole heartedly recommend Justin, Sarah and the facility for everything they do to go out do their way and care for their clients’ dogs like their own."

To say Justin and Sarah changed our lives with our dog is an understatement. Having adopted a fully deaf and sight impaired puppy and working with a number of trainers prior, to no avail, we were nearly at a breaking point. Struggling with housebreaking, resource guarding, and just the general struggles of being unable able to communicate with our puppy, it was misery. Then we found Cappuccino Dog Training and they assured us that they can help, after a 6-week board to train with Justin and Sarah, the transformation was night and day. We went from struggling to get through days to absolutely loving having our dog. Over a year later, he is still a member of the Cappuccino pack and loves his days at daycare. Justin and Sarah are truly an incredible team and we could not be happier to have found them.
Anthony Prosper, Philadelphia PA
My experience with Justin has been great from start to finish. I needed a quality trainer for my puppy presa canario and most trainers didn't even know what a presa was.
From the very beginning of our first talk I knew he was my guy moving forward. Not only did he know what a presa was he knew all about them in full detail. That meant alot to me.
Since meeting justin, he's done training with my dog, and I've also boarded my dog with Justin for a week while on vacation. Knowing he'd be well taken care of put my mind at ease while I was away.
Can't say enough good things, and I'm looking forward to getting my pup to reach his full potential.
Caitlyn Johnson, Newtown PA
"A few months ago, our family got a 16 week old Samoyed and we knew we wanted her to go through some sort of training to establish basic obedience at home and have a framework to work through to eliminate the establishment of any bad habits. After looking around and assessing different programs, we settled on Cappuccino Dog Training because their program seemed to be the one that would have the highest likelihood of helping us meet our goal - having a well trained puppy from the start.
Our pup and I met with them several times before they accepted her into their program. They work hard to ensure that both the dog and the owner are a good fit. They are serious trainers who are both skilled at their craft and want to make sure that everyone will derive the greatest benefit from their training.
We just picked up our (now older) puppy from them following a board and train and she has been amazing on the leash and much better at following basic commands. Cappuccino tries to make it as efficient and simple for both the dog and the owner, which increases the probability that the good habits and skills stick and can be used in many different ways and environments.
They both also were so kind and loving to our pup and if nice to see how excited she gets when either of them are working with her. We look forward to continuing our training with them for our pup and would highly recommend them!"
Allison Kline, Philadelphia PA
My dog Nala was a real challenge on several levels. She no doubt had a biting history and the no kill “shelter” from which I’d agreed to foster her was no shelter at all. It was two ladies who were so desperate to save her life, they were telling lies.
Justin and Sara transformed this poor fear and anxiety ridden dog. He taught her to cooperate and listen to me without the negotiation I had been giving into it. He trimmed her down by a good 15 pounds. She is now healthier and laser quick in her compliance with my commands. Really, she is a different dog now, in meaningful ways that allow me to keep her.
I tried several other professional dog trainers before Justin. No discernible difference in the dog. They held themselves out as professionals. Whether they were or not, the dog remained the same before and after albeit boy two or three sessions before I switched to Justin.
Lastly, I had thought Justin was maybe too expensive. Then I did my research, my due diligence before investing. I was wrong. He was actually on the half cheaper side than more expensive, for police K9 level professionalism and genuine concern for my dog. And for me to be a happy dog owner, also not ridden with the same anxiety my dog had.
Pat Gattis, Southhampton PA
The best. My dog’s favorite. I drive a half hour and pass a half dozen doggy daycares just come to the daycare at Cappuccino Dog Training. Justin and Sarah are terrific. From training to boarding, everything is top notch and I can’t recommend them enough.
Robert Lee, Newtown PA
"Justin and Sarah have been incredible with our dogs Bronco and Olive. We were both nervous at first since Bronco (our pittie) is 4x the size of Olive (Wire fox terrier) but through training and their guidance, we have been able to slowly introduce them. They get along wonderfully now. We are looking forward to more personal and group training to fine tune a few items in the future! Your dogs are in wonderful hands with Justin and his team, 100% would recommend!"

Excellent!!! Justin is a phenomenal dog trainer! We can't say enough about how pleased we are with the training we did with our 2 rottweilers. Justin's experience is absolutely the best you will find for large working dog breeds. Justin and Sarah's professionalism and knowledge of how to work with the dogs and owners put us at ease and helped us strengthen our relationship with our dogs. I highly, highly recommend!

"As a fellow kennel owner and dog trainer, I can confidently say that Justin Cappuccino and his team at Cappuccino Dog Training are some of the best in the area. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for every dog they work with are excellent.
I’ve seen firsthand the incredible care they offer, which is why I fully trust and recommend their services. In fact, whenever my own kennel is at capacity, Cappuccino Dog Training is the only place I feel comfortable sending my overflow of boarding and training dogs. Their commitment to excellence gives me peace of mind, knowing that every dog is in great hands.
If you’re looking for a top-notch dog training and boarding service, look no further than Cappuccino Dog Training. Your dog will thank you!"
Jodie Friedman, Yardley PA
"I brought my highly anxious Aussie-doodle, Abby, to Justin and Sarah 3 years ago.
Justin was upfront and honest and assured me he could help, but required follow up on our part. We followed up with lessons after a board and train! They both delivered! I feel confident letting my children's friends come over and family and friends- that everyone is safe. My older Aussie doodle is also more obedient-
Both doodles love their life- chasing balls, playing with each other, etc- just live life with some boundaries.
I highly recommend Justin and Sarah - and love that a higher level of obedience and fun loving family dogs can co-exist!"
Shea Killeen, Kutztown PA
8 months ago my fiancé and I adopted a dog Justin and Sarah were fostering for a rescue. The rescue demanded we picked him up from his foster location on a Thursday night and not the weekend like I requested.. Upon pickup we knew he had been adopted previously and returned numerous times because he “played rough.” That first night/month was ROUGH. The “rough playing” would turn aggressive and seem to come out of nowhere. When we picked Gus up, Justin and Sarah told us to call any time if we had issues or would like to start/continue training with Gus. We were hesitant because it’s a bit of a drive, 1.5hrs one way, but after about 2.5 months we gave Justin a call. We had no clue how that one simple phone call would change our lives!
Over the past 5 months we have worked with Justin to learn and better our handler skills along with learning different tools and methods that we could utilize to eliminate the negative behaviors we were receiving from Gus. I truly looked forward to training classes with Justin because he would give honest feedback and repeatedly showed that he cared about you as a person but most importantly cared about your dog. Over the past five months we went from having a crazy, uncontrollable, “rough playing” dog to a one that is controllable, still crazy but controllable.
I am forever grateful for meeting Justin and being able to learn from him to be able to better myself as a handler and to better the life of our dog.
Additionally, Gus LOVES Justin and Sarah! We have boarded him on three separate occasions all of which he was excited to be there!
I would totally recommend Cappuccino Dog Training Inc. to anyone who is serious about training their dog. All interactions with Justin and staff have been professional, courteous, and informative. We will definitely be back for group sessions and boarding here and there!
