Results

Dogs That Listen.
Owners Who Breathe.

★★★★★

"My dog was uncontrollable. Pulling on the leash, jumping on guests, wouldn't listen to anything. After board & train with Pack Protocol, he's a completely different dog. The structure they use is unlike anything I've seen."

★★★★★

"Worth every penny. Private sessions at my house, totally tailored to my dog's issues. I learned just as much as she did. The follow-up support alone made it feel like a real professional service."

★★★★★

"I'm out of state and did virtual sessions. It was actually incredible. I was the one doing the training with professional eyes guiding me the whole time. My dog responded faster than I expected."

FAQ

Common
Questions.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Miami-Dade and surrounding South Florida areas. We come to you for private sessions, or you can bring your dog to us. Virtual sessions are available nationwide.

What breeds do you work with?

All breeds, all sizes. From small companion dogs to high-drive working breeds — the methodology is the same. Structure and clear communication works across the board.

How old does my dog need to be?

We work with dogs of all ages — puppies as young as 8 weeks through adult dogs. The earlier you start, the easier it is, but it's never too late to build good habits.

How long does training take?

It depends on the program and your dog's starting point. Board & train programs typically run 2–4 weeks. Private sessions are scheduled weekly. Most owners see clear improvement within the first week of consistent work.

Do I need to be involved in the training?

Yes — and that's intentional. We teach you the system, not just the dog. A trained dog with an untrained owner loses their skills fast. You'll learn everything your dog learns.

What's included in the free consultation?

We assess your dog's behavior, talk through your goals, and recommend the right program honestly — even if that means a different approach than what you expected. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Do you use punishment-based training?

No. Our approach is built on clear communication, marker training, and structure — not fear or force. Dogs respond fastest when they understand exactly what's expected of them.

What if my dog has aggression issues?

Aggression cases are evaluated on a case-by-case basis during the free consultation. We've worked with reactive and aggressive dogs and will give you an honest assessment of what's achievable.

About

Trained by Experience.
Driven by Results.

Kristopher Fonte — Pack Protocol
Kristopher Fonte
Founder · Pack Protocol LLC

Pack Protocol was founded on a simple belief: most dogs aren't the problem. The system is. When owners have structure, clear communication, and the right tools, their dogs respond.

I've been working with dogs professionally for over 20 years, not just training, but understanding them at every level. Walking, sitting, daycare, boarding, grooming, nutrition. I've managed every aspect of a dog's life and wellbeing at scale.

I founded Grove Pet Service, which grew into the largest dog walking and pet sitting company in South Florida with over 500 active clients. That foundation led me to open Dogtown, one of Miami's top dog hotels, a full-service operation built on the same principles of structure and care that drive everything I do.

Pack Protocol is the natural next step, taking two decades of hands-on experience and bringing it directly to dog owners who want real results, not just tips. Whether your dog needs basic obedience or a complete behavioral overhaul, the system works.

The Method

Structure Is the
Language.

Every Pack Protocol program is built on marker communication, clear boundaries, and consistent repetition. Dogs thrive when they understand expectations. Our job is to make those expectations crystal clear.

Marker Training

Precise communication through consistent markers. Your dog always knows exactly what they did right and when.

Sequential Building

Skills build on each other intentionally. No command is introduced before its foundation is solid.

Owner Transfer

You learn the system. Not just the result. So the behavior holds long after the sessions end.

Real Environments

We train in the actual environments where behavior needs to hold, not just a controlled room.
