Jorge Marban
Born and raised in the lively city of Miami, Jorge has always had a special connection with dogs. Before diving into dog training, Jorge spent 8 years working as a professional baseball player, where he developed a strong sense of dedication and work ethic— qualities that now define his approach to training dogs. His lifelong experience with canine companions and a natural knack for understanding their behavior led him to pursue a career in dog training.
