Dogs We Trust - Dog Training

This is the 2nd review seems like the 1st one was deleted maybe because my students were pictured. Wish I had 10 stars!!!! On last week I had to pleasure of meeting Mr. Irons, his staff along with two well trained dogs. Dogs We Trust are Top Notch, State of the Art, Two Thumbs Up! I googled Dogs We Trust because our school is in the process in becoming STEAM Certified and currently our 2nd grade students are building an Animal Shelter with shade to care for our animals. We are intentionally making Real-World connections and ask Dogs Are Us to visit our school for an In-House Field trip. Mr. Irons is professional and worked diligently to add us to his busy schedule. On last Thursday we hit the Jack Pot, our team and students were amazed at how disciplined the dogs were. If you are looking to expose school aged children or even looking for a trainer, Dog We Trust is your place. Hopefully Mr. Lyons and his team will visit our Problem-Based Learning Showcase in October. I can truly say Dogs We Trust in a hidden gem, thank you again!

Finding a dog care taker/trainer whom you trust can be a stressful and difficult process, especially when you are a first time puppy parent. I was lucky enough to come across DWT after thorough research, and will start by saying that first and foremost, Jocelyn and Jonathan are just good people. From the very start, they were also highly communicative and invited my husband and I to tour their facility before we enrolled our pup in their 2 week intensive training program. My first impression as we pulled up was how naturally beautiful, spacious and sheltered their compound was. Jonathan and Jocelyn welcomed us and our pup to their property, where they also live, and we were immediately put at ease as they showed us around. You can tell that all animals, especially dogs, are a way of life for DWT, which made us feel right at home. I’d also like to note that their thoughtfully laid out facility would be better referred to as a charming farm that’s a haven for dogs. Our puppy used to be a non-stop play biter, a nightmare to walk on a leash, only listened when he wanted to and overall had terrible manners resulting in lots of frustration for not just us, but our pup too. My husband and I have a baby due next year, so it was imperative that we curbed our pup’s bad behavior through professional help since nothing we tried worked. After only 2 weeks with DWT, our pup came back a better version of himself. The difference was night and day. If you are reading this, then you already know how big of a blessing it is to have a dog as a family member. It is a is a GIFT to have a good dog, and DWT not only gave us that, but also passed on the knowledge and understanding in how to continue building on his training foundation and better communicate with our pup. Jocelyn and Jonathan were incredibly supportive throughout his training period, and I felt at ease knowing they were using safe practices to correct bad behavior. Jocelyn and Jonathan have a natural way with dogs that comes from love, and are some of the best in the game in training and communicating with animals. They consistently kept me updated with picture/video updates, and after having put our pup through their program, I feel like we found trusted friends who we can consistently rely on for future boarding and day care as well. If I could give DWT 10 stars I would. That said, I highly recommend Jocelyn and Jonathan if you're in the market for any type of training, boarding or day care services for your furry family member.

Working with Jonathan was so helpful! His resources and knowledge was exactly what we needed for training our puppy. His on-site space was set up for many types of training sessions and offered supportive tools that helped us know how to set up our home training too. A single session leaves you feeling informed, prepared, and set up for success as an owner and dog; and, of course, ready for more! We left feeling encouraged and equipped; especially when it came to biting, jumping and walking. We’re so thankful for his time and energy to support our dog and family well. We would highly recommend working with Jonathan and his team for any of your dog needs!

It took me four months to find some place I felt safe leaving my dog for a board and train while I was out of the country for two weeks. Jonathan and Jocelyn answered every question I had and explained everything about their training program and training styles so that I had all the information I needed to feel comfortable in my decision. While I was away, I got daily updates with videos or pictures of his progress on training as well as some fun videos of him playing and enjoying the beautiful nature of the Dogs We Trust grounds. My puppy is 11 months old presently so he has a lot of energy, and it was wonderful to see that his brain got some relaxation in addition to all he was learning. He has come home to us as a confident and comfortable dog who no longer paces the room because he knows that it's okay to settle and relax. His leash walking skills are vastly improved. He even eats his meals in one sitting instead of dumping his food and eating the scattered pieces over hours of the day. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my dog was safe and having fun. If you're an anxious pet parent like me, I can assure you that Jonathan and Jocelyn are excellent caretakers of your dogs and they will be in the most capable and excellent hands. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. So I'll just say thank you for the hundredth time for everything! Y'all are the absolute best!
