Camp Lucky Board and Train

We are extremely grateful to Jessie. After much research I contacted Jessie to see if he could help us since we just adopted our new dog Duncan (a street dog from Mexico) and were concerned about how one of our other dogs would do with him since she was so reactive. After watching our dogs interact with Jessie it was clear that it was Duncan (and me) that actually needed the training – Duncan had no confidence and actually snapped at Jessie. We had only had Duncan for about a week and he had never shown any sort of aggressive behavior – I’m glad it was Jessie that was on the receiving end instead of a friend or family member. We have always had dogs and this is the first time in the past 20 years we’ve hired a dog trainer/behaviorist and I cannot believe the difference it makes – I wish we would have done it years ago. The difference in not only Duncan, but our other dogs when compared to Jessie’s first lesson is huge. They bark less and listen more. Duncan has more confidence, is listening to corrections, has learned to walk on a leash, and although we are still working on it, has begun to listen when I call him to come to me. Jessie didn’t just come in and give directions on how to get my dogs to do what I wanted them to – he observed my interactions with my dogs, and explained what I needed to do to effectively communicate/interact with them in order to get them to do what I wanted. His sessions are very customized; they were not generic – one size fits all – Jessie would ask for updates and if there were any other behaviors that needed to be addressed – and his lessons reflected what needed to be work on. Thanks to Jessie we have learned so much about how dogs think and understand, and he has taught us how to better communicate and interact with our puppies. Because of the tools he’s given us our house is a lot calmer and not only are my husband and I happier, but our dogs seem happier too. Duncan needs to get surgery but once he recovers we plan on talking to Jessie about additional training – Duncan seems very smart and motivated and we think maybe he needs to be trained to do a task, something mentally stimulating and we are hoping maybe Jessie can help us figure that out. If you are looking into hiring a dog trainer or behaviorist look no further – Jessie is the person for the job.
