Our 8 month old goldendoodle Teddy went from a curios spaz who liked to pull my wife during walks to a still curious but we’ll behaved pup that we take to work with us every day. He follows his commands, is great with our girls, and goes with me just about anywhere (on or off leash). My wife says she likes him a lot more after his time at “boot camp.” I love that we can give him more freedom because of his training. Teddy is our first dog, but if we ever have another, that dog will unquestionably go to Jake at A Leg Up K9. The. Best.

We sent out six month old puppy. We were nervous but are so happy with our decision. Our puppy listens so well now and is well behaved. It took longer than the two weeks and it was a lot of work afterwards to make sure his training stuck. But it was definitely worth it.

My family could not be happier with the results of the training our dog Jarvis received from Jake at A Leg Up K9. We adopted Jarvis from a local shelter when he was about 6 months old. We were immediately smitten with this energetic, smart and loving pup. By the time Jarvis was a year old he was quite large, about 75 pounds and while he still had the most amazing personality he was a bit difficult to control at times and with 3 young kids we needed help so that we could all live in harmony together. Jake to the rescue! Jarvis stayed with Jake for a couple of weeks while we were on vacation to receive his training. When we returned Jake met with my whole family and helped us learn how to continue to work with Jarvis and utilize his newly acquired skills. My kids are ages 11, 9 and 5. I'm so happy that they got to be part of the follow up training sessions and learn more about Jarvis' behaviors and his training. My entire family has been able to more fully enjoy the companionship of Jarvis with no more stress. Jarvis is also so proud of himself - it's been neat to see a new side of his personality come out now that he clearly understands expectations and rules of the house. He's still the same goofy fun loving pup but without the chaos and mayhem. I highly recommend A Leg Up K9. Thank you Jake!

We LOVE our dog but some of her behaviors were causing frustration and stress in our relationship with her. To train a dog affectively, a lot of time is needed and it needs to be consistent. As a busy family of 4, we weren’t able to train her in a way that was affective and that was fair to her. A Leg Up K9 was just what we needed! Jake is amazing at what he does, and it was worth every penny. We now have a more positive relationship with our dog and aren’t worried about her safety running out of the yard anymore. Our friends can come over without being jumped on immediately and we can take her anywhere with us - even off leash! We highly recommend this training for every dog owner. Life changing!

Best decision we have made. Dropped our puppy off before heading for vacation. Apprehensive, yes. When Driggsy's training session had concluded, we picked up a confident, obedient dog. Not just with me, but with our 3 young kids as well. The training methods not only made her a more obedient dog, but changed her behavior in our home. When the door bell rings or we have visitors, she sits on her training bed that comes with the program. When commanded, she walks in heel off leash outside, YES, off leash without worry. Well worth every penny. The follow up visits will only reinforce her commands. If YOU follow Jakes command training instructions, and follow them with confidence, your dog WILL see you as the alpha.
