Not training your dog is like not educating your kid, all you end up with is a heedless and troublesome brat that no one can stand. The good news: dogs want to listen, you just need to learn to speak their language. And no, we’re not talking about that ridiculous dog whispering your grandmother swears by. These days, there are amazing new methods for raising dogs who behave like they went to Harvard. In psychology 101 terms its know as operant and classical conditioning, and in real life terms it’s known as “do something good and you’ll be rewarded.”

I adopted an adorable 3.5 year old Husky/Black Lab mix in July. He is a sweet and playful pup, but his size and strength was too much for me to handle. He would jump on people, lunge at other dogs as we walked by and bark constantly. He was training me, rather than the other way around. I was nervous to take him anywhere in public, because I didn't know how he would react. After trying a few other training programs, with no luck, I found Canine Scholars. Jason and Chris helped transform him into such well behaved pup, with only a few sessions! I feel comfortable taking him out in public because I know I can control him. Thank you for giving me the tools to continue training my dog so we can have a wonderful life together!

We have an almost 10 month golden retriever pup who is a sweetheart but was getting completely out of control. He weighs 65 pounds and would pull me down the stairs to the point that I would almost fall, yank me around the block, lunge at other dogs to play, jump all over people that walked into the door and run around our house with our belongings like a maniac. We weren't sure what, if anything could fix it. We've had four lessons now and the difference is hard to believe. He doesn't pull the leash and will sit on his bed (or any assigned place) until I give him permission to leave, even when new people walk through the door. He comes when he's called and we're even working on being off-leash in crowded places. It makes every experience more enjoyable for us and our pup! Jason and Chris taught our pup so much but most importantly he taught us the concepts and gave us the tools we need to understand the way our dog thinks and how to act accordingly. We can't thank them enough :) - Mac, Megan & Matt

Jason was awesome! He not only helped correct my dogs behavior almost instantly in 1 session, but he also taught me how to reinforce the training correctly to ensure continuation of good behavior.

Canine Scholars has made such a HUGE difference in our family. We had tried a few other dog training courses around Charlotte but couldn't find the results we were looking for. Canine Scholars stepped right in and made an immediate impact. During our first interaction with Jason I could tell that we had found the trainer we were looking for. My 2 dogs were notorious leash pullers, barked at everything that moved and were just a handful. Today I am proud to say that we can enjoy off leash walks, sitting in the yard, and having guests over without having to fear what our dogs may do wrong. Not only has he helped them become more obedient, but he has also increased their confidence in knowing how great they really are. Don't make the same mistake I did and wait too long to call Jason. Not only did he train our dogs , he also trained us. I never realized the mistakes we were making had such great impact on our dogs, but after a few sessions I realized that the potential was there the whole time. He is worth every penny, and if I had the chance to choose to do it all over again then I would in a heartbeat. Thanks Jason!!!

Our chocolate lab Alice is now a certified therapy dog! Jason helped us fine tune obedience skills to the point that this food obsessed girl completely bypassed 4 square feet of floor smeared with hamburger meat during her testing session. Thanks Jason!
