I am a U.S. Army Veteran who was a Military Working Dog Handler.
I would be honored to teach you some of the same techniques instilled in me during my service as well as others I’ve adapted since.

We needed help with our Goldendoodle who was struggling with recall as well as reactivity. Found James and immediately he set us up for a meet and greet. We loved this as he was honest and explained he wanted to make sure the dog was a good fit with his training and that we would get benefit from the money we spent. During her bootcamp James was very communicative, sent pics and videos, was flexible with our multiple session times, and took awesome care of our girl. After doing a full bootcamp and being away from our dog for that long, the results were so noticeable! We have seen drastic improvement and we couldn’t recommend James enough. James truly cares and is passionate about his work and is THE choice if your dog needs work!

A friend had given me the website for Gunnison Kennels. I contacted James and got an immediate response and set up a meet and greet. It was a great experience meeting and setting up my first lesson. James took the time and helped me with an issue I was having with my Malinois. You can tell he truly cares about the dogs and keeping at it to help me with a positive outcome. I boarded my dog for the day a week later and before I had a chance to see how she was doing he had already sent a text to let me know how she was getting along. Our second lesson was fun and informative. It really is a joy working with James. I would recommend him for whatever your training needs are.

Working with James on my dogs reactivity. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. We’ve made tremendous strides in just a few sessions. He has given me a massive confidence boost in my handling skills. I especially appreciate his flexibility with scheduling. His services are also very affordable! Thank you James!

Gunnison Kennel is the only place in the Valley we will take our sometimes reactive GSD, and a place I know our MAS can have lots of friends to play with!
James is pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times, and has been trustworthy with our fur babies! 10/10 recommend 👌🏻

James is phenomenal. My dog has alot of issues, being rescued from a slaughterhouse in Korea. Leaving him is hard for me, but Gunnison kennels & its owner James treated my dog so well & was so kind to him. I highly recommend this business & will use it whenever I am in the Grand Junction area. James, thank you for your kindness & love towards Paddy! Always so appreciated!
