Last Fall we had Jim train our German Shepherd Nova. We had recently adopted her and she was our first dog. He really took the time to help us understand the different drives she had and how to handle her temperament so we could continue reinforcement training after her time with him. She took well to the training and we use the techniques he taught us every day. Jim showed he really cared about Nova and us as he took the time to train us while handling Nova before we left at the end of her time with him. We highly recommend him and are happy that we brought our Nova to him.

Jim really helped me with training my 3 dogs. Very easy to work with and so knowledgeable.

Jim was awesome with my Biscuit! He is a totally different dog and i couldn't be happier. I initially did the board and training for 2 weeks and unfortunately got Covid and Jim was more than accommodating and understanding. i had to insist on paying more for the additional 1 week +. Thank you Jim .

Jim took the time and effort to learn about us as well as the dog. He trains for long term successful relationships not cute tricks. Our young Shephard mix was out of control wild and willful, after a few weeks with Jim she listens and is eager to please. The best part is that Jim takes the time to train the owner as well because 99 times out of 100 it was us who were doing things wrong.

I’m so relieved our family found Jim. We have two young French Bulldogs who were pretty much driving us insane. We could not house break them. We decided to try this as a last ditch effort before we moved into our new home. Not only did Jim and his team get my dogs on a potty schedule but they taught them so many commands in just two weeks. If you do what Jim tells you when you take your dogs home, you will have success. Now our dogs are a pleasure to be around rather than a burden. If your on the fence, just do it. It’s so worth every penny.
