When we got our rescue dog Hank, he did over $600 in damages to our house within the first week. He peed and pooped in the house every day, would run off any chance he’d get and even break out of his crate. Alessandro took Hank in for a few weeks and he is now a totally different dog. Hank has found his furever home because of Alessandro.

About Me
My name is Alessandro Ferri and I am the owner of State of Mind Canine. I am a Florida native and have 4 dogs, Echo (a 9 year old Belgian Malinois), Zoey (an 11 year old Pit Mix), Colby (a 10 year old Lab Mix), and Tony (a 7 year old Rottweiler/Pit Mix). I specialize in on & off leash obedience as well as a wide range of behavioral challenges from anxiety to aggression and beyond. My training philosophy is to identify the root cause of each problem, approaching every dog as a unique individual, focusing equally on the dogs behavior (what they are thinking and feeling) and obedience (what they are doing physically).
My favorite thing about working with dogs and their families is my ability to equip them with the right tools and information to improve their relationship with their dog and enhance their quality of life. Dog training isn’t just for “bad dogs” it’s for any dog and family who want to have a better life. I’ve spent the last decade plus dedicated to dogs, volunteering for shelters and fostering for rescues before embarking on my training journey. I invested a significant amount of time into my education and growth as a trainer, traveling across the USA to learn under some of the best names in the industry.
Whether I’m attending seminars, shadowing, or apprenticing, I’m continuously working towards expanding my knowledge and experience with dogs. In the world of dog training, too much information and too many nuances can lead to confusion, causing families to work in circles or give up entirely. I aim to make effective dog training accessible to everyone, developing a custom-tailored program that’s clear, fair, and results-oriented. Regardless of your goals, I’m here to guide you through the process, providing you with everything needed to establish a positive relationship with your dog and achieve long-term success.
