Good Dogs are trained

Jim arrived early and made us feel super comfortable with the process. We saw instant progress and truly feel we made the right choice! Our dog specifically needed help with obedience, pulling, and anxiety. He handled every situation and problem as they arose very professionally. Nice kind hearted man who truly cares for you, your dog, and his job. Would highly recommend, and definitely going to call him again if needed!

I personally have not used this trainer, but I was just at a dog park in Sepulveda Basin where this trainer not only was using negative reinforcement to "train" a dog and the owner, but in the midst was insensitive to the other dogs around (mine particularly). He was teaching an owner to yell and scream at the dog when it barked at my dog to play, then when the yelling didn't work he loudly kicked the metal trash can next to my dog to scare it to stop barking and said "when the yelling doesn't work, you have to try something else-- sorry little aussie!" And my aussie was completely triggered & terrified for the rest of our park day from his “trainer” and his loud aggressive kick to the trash can. What kind of message is that supposed to send to the dog? My dog is extremely fearful and has gone thru extensive positive reinforcement training to be able to be comfortable in dog parks around humans-- and today was a HUGE set back for my pup, thanks to a “TRAINER”. Please do NOT hire this guy-- everything I overheard him mentioning to his client was completely against everything I’ve learned thru other behavioral trainers who train in a positive manner. I saw him get into his truck with this business name as we were leaving.
