I cannot say enough good things about the experience I had with Jacob in the dog training classes I did with them, in fact I was impressed enough with the Basic class I did the Advance as well. They don’t teach the fear factor with the dog, they use high rewards, positivity, and reputation. When you’re in their class, you have Jacobs attention and feedback the entire class. I would recommend anyone to attend one of their classes whether you’re a long time dog owner or a first time dog owner.

Amazing transformation for our King Shepard. After about week 3 we really saw a massive difference in handling him. My wife use to not be able to walk him at all because he would pull and knock her down and now he goes alone on walks with her and I take him out and about all the time with me now, which that was our main goals for training. I’d highly recommend taking your dog to Fowler K9. They have an amazing training center and awesome programs for all your dogs needs.

We started taking our German Shepherd puppy Layla to Fowler K9 academy last year when she was about 4 months old. We started private training with Jacob to learn the basics of how to train and socialize a puppy. We then did a three week board and train when she was around 6 months old. Jacob was so great on teaching us how to work with her and once she did the board and train Layla had a great foundation! We went on to intermediate classes and learned so much more! Layla is now a little over a year and has turned out to be such a confident well mannered girl. Our experiences with Jacob and crew have been nothing but positive and we loved going there. I am thinking we may do more training to advance Layla and our skills. Can’t say enough about Fowler K9 Academy and would highly recommend them to anyone with any type of training needs.

It's been about 3yrs since we had the privilege of Jacob help us train our German Shepherd. I cant express enough how well behaved our dog is both at home and in public. Thanks to the training Fowler K9 Academy brought to us, im not afraid to take our dog anywhere. Fowler K9 Academy's knowledge and experience really shows in their training abilities. We recently rescued a Belgian Malinois who is 3yrs old and we are already signed up for Fowler K9 Academy's next training class. If you have any doubts about this school, DONT! You won't be disappointed.

We have 4 dogs, only one of which had formal training, and it was pure insanity at our house. We decided to bring our youngest to Jacob to try to set an example. All the work my “marshmallow” Olaf had to put in really helped! We had homework every week which turned into our other dogs having to watch (and sometimes learn). Being a typical Pyrenees he’s stubborn but with a little push he became a different dog! Even our high strung Vizsla learned some new things (though she’s next to get the full classes). All in all this was some of the best money well spent! Can’t wait to bring my vizsla and any future pups!
