Highly recommend! My Heeler attended two rounds of Board & Train. She made huge behavioral improvements, learned new skills and proved how smart she is. The best part, she loved it!
I did 6 weeks of private training with Jacob, and my experience was great! I have a German Shepherd/Husky mix, and we worked on building her confidence/adjusting her reactive behaviors. Not only did my dog learn, but it was just as much a lesson for me! I still do training drills…Read full reviewClose full review
I did 6 weeks of private training with Jacob, and my experience was great! I have a German Shepherd/Husky mix, and we worked on building her confidence/adjusting her reactive behaviors. Not only did my dog learn, but it was just as much a lesson for me! I still do training drills Jacob taught me to this day, and it’s been almost a year since I last saw him. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for individualized help with their pup! If I were closer to Middleton or had more availability in my schedule, I would definitely book again with him today.

I’ve been going to Jacob since he has started back in 2018. With his knowledge and experience he helped me train two of my gsds for personal protection then they became certified through his program. Then we took our training to the next level and my oldest boy Nash became titled in the WDA. Then last year I went to Jacob seeking to import a pup from the Czech Republic. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only was the process of importing completely flawless and smooth but my girl has been a dream come true. She is now my 3rd pup that I’m working on for personal protection. She has been here in America for almost a year now. She’s gone through his puppy class, intermediate obedience, while every weekend since she’s been here you’ll find us training with him for her personal protection work that will eventually lead us to later getting our titles in the WDA. Jacob comes highly highly recommended. If my dedication doesn’t speak for itself then I don’t know what else to say. He is the best trainer in the treasure valley as far as I’m concerned.
Helped with training a reactive dog during private and dog obedience training. Bailey has come a long ways since May 2023.
