About Fearless K9 LLC

Fearless K9 specializes in high-drive, genetically intense, and behavioral outlier dogs, the “12%” most trainers struggle with. We go beyond obedience and quick fixes by addressing leadership, structure, and the canine cultural framework that drives behavior. Our PET² (Perception, Expectation, Tolerance) and CCT² (Constant Communication Training) systems teach dogs to default to human leadership instead of instinct, even under pressure. Trusted by owners, rescues, and professionals as the last-stop solution when other training has failed, we provide clarity and structure that others miss, turning chaos into confidence. When instinct and leadership collide, dogs follow the one who has earned their trust.

I have been working closely with Josh Jacobson for the better part of 3 years now. Fearless K9 is the reason how i found my calling with training dogs and i now run a part time business doing so. I have worked with K9 teams in law enforcement and other trainers in the area. Let me be clear...Josh has the formula! For too long have i have seen dogs turned away by other trainers. i have never seen Josh turn a dog away. He's clear and concise in his instructions and tells you the truth. I consulted with josh years ago before purchasing a Malinois puppy and he wouldn't be 10% of the dog he is today if it wasn't for josh and his expertise. I've grown to call Josh and his lovely wife Gina family and i can't thank them enough for giving me a vessel of self-preservation and purpose.

Josh is amazing. He has helped us tremendously with our 2 puppies. We have an 8 month old pit mix and a 6 month purebreed Doberman. They are a handful. With his help and training techniques we now have a better handful on our babies.

About a year ago, we brought our new shelter pup into Fearless K9. We’d had him 2 months and had made no progress bonding with him. He was aggressive, destructive, and frustrated, and it was clear that his quality of life wasn’t great. We didn’t dare do an introduction with our other dog, fearing that one of them would be injured. The shelter from which we adopted him suggested that euthanasia may be the best option. When I called Regina and she kindly said, “We can help you,” it was such a relief. And after our first session, we saw a difference. Josh trained us to work with Moose and understand where his issues were coming from, and what he needed to feel confident and safe. We eventually brought our other dog to the sessions and got the pups successfully integrated. A year later, our now sweet and sensitive Moose likes being a part of our family and loves his “pack.” Most importantly, we have 2 happy, bonded dogs. We are so grateful to Fearless K9 for their work and for their honest, candid advocacy of our dogs’ needs. Josh and Regina save lives. We’d recommend them to anyone who was struggling with behavioral issues in their dog, for obedience training, etc.

We loved Josh. He was very professional since day one which had us hooked. He gave us all the tips and knowledge we need to continue towards our goals with our pup. Unfortunately due to personal schedules/life we cannot go as often as we’d like but we will definitely continue to use Josh throughout our dogs life/milestone life events. We have been to three trainers and Fearless K9 by far exceeds all the others.

We REALLY like working with Josh. We reached out to Fearless K9 for help with our dog’s leash reactivity after having exhausted our options trying to combat it on our own. We had read dozens of books, watched videos, read blogs, forums, and Reddit threads—you name it! We researched everything—and had even worked with a few local trainers in our area but we felt that they were just regurgitating everything we had already read or learned online. It wasn't until we met Josh that we truly started to understand our dog's behavior and learn how to successfully communicate with our pup in a way that she could understand. Josh is consistent in his approach, patient (even with us humans, lol), and knowledgeable. He's the first trainer we have worked with that we feel truly understands our dog’s needs and behaviors and he knows how to put it into terms us humans can start to grasp. He gets it. And he’s great with analogies which puts things into perspective and is immensely helpful. Working with Josh has improved our communication, strengthened our bond, and given us the tools we need to feel confident in our ability to be good leaders. We are grateful for Josh's patience and expertise and always look forward to our training sessions—THE best!
