    Program details

    Cage-Free, Pack-Style Living - It's like a Club-Med vacation, professionally monitored with a little free training in the process! Socialization and exercise, pull toys, chew toys, warm and comfy places to bed down anywhere they want along with a fenced in area out back. In addition, your dog has 24/7 human interaction with a professional dog whisperer who takes them on mile-long pack runs every day. The alternative? A cold, unfamiliar cage, surrounded by other cages and cries of discontent fill his ears. Non-professional handlers and only short periodic breaks outside to run. It's like putting your dog in jail while you are on vacation and for some dogs, it actually causes trauma. · Listed price: [object Object]

    Program details

    Training is an important responsibility for anyone owning a dog and the sooner the better. But how? If you are new to doggie ownership or even if you have had dogs before, you know that proper training is as important as the air they breathe. They are animals not children but like children they have to be taught. Many owners try and fail on their own. Then they may try the 1-hour/week approach with many other un-trained dogs - too many distractions and not enough focus. In an hour your headed back home with little accomplished for your efforts. Joe's techniques are totally different. First he's a professional and dogs are his life. Second, your dog comes to live with Joe and gets so much more socialization and exercise in addition to personalized training. The dog winds up learning volumes more in a shorter time period because, "In every action there is an opportunity for training if one knows when and how to take advantage of the moment." And there's much more! · Listed price: [object Object]

We don't really know how to adequately express the gratitude for the gift that Joe gave us. Having had an English Mastiff in the past who was easy, Mugzy, our 8-month Mastiff, became a challenge. From a puppy we had attempted to do all the right things by "the book", TV and other costly avenues. We were exhausted from failure. From the moment we met Joe at "the meet and greet", we knew we had found the answer. Joe speaks "DOG" and "HUMAN". Joe is a "people" person. We couldn't wait to start. Mugzy got a fun-filled week of "pack-living" and we got a chance to reset, get caught up, and relax after 6 months of raising our poorly-mannered "beast" of a puppy. During that week we got daily updates, reports and pictures, which helped put us at ease. At the end of the week, Joe took the time to demonstrate, answer questions and train us how to be the leaders of "our pack". Mugzy came back to us fit and happy. We had made the commitment and after 1 week home, our house is much more filled with peace and happiness, including/especially Mugzy. To other pet parents reading this, you need to understand that one size doesn't fit all with dog training. A treat-training class once-a-week might work on some, but not all. And if you aren't getting trained yourself to perform the task, you are throwing money away on the class and 100 pounds of expensive treats. Every canine is different, just like each human is different. Joe takes the time to know the dog and speak to it, figure out what the dog needs and responds to. If you think you know everything already, don't waste Joe's time. While we made it complicated, it's not as complicated as you think. Open your mind, and let Joe teach you. In our case, it wasn't the dog's inefficiencies, it was ours. Don't get us wrong, not all is perfect after a week, it is now up to us. We will certainly be giving Mugzy another "vacation" week some time in the future. Chad & Trina, East Greenville, PA

Joe helped us become the pack leaders our dog, needed us to be! I felt confident our boy was in good hands with Joe and we enjoyed the updates/photos we received via text message throughout the week. He came back to us as a more attentive, leader-focused and well-behaved dog. Joe also demonstrated the techniques to use in “leading” our dog and provided us a written evaluation of our dog, along with a list of commands to use. The first time you talk to Joe, you know he truly has found his calling and loves what he does. I would hands down recommend Joe’s Training to anyone and we look forward to boarding our guy with him in the near future!
