The owner genuinely did not want our business, or at least, hasn’t the faintest clue on customer service.
I was spoken to very poorly and it seemed as if I upset them by trying to use their business to train my pet. I’ve had multiple dogs trained over the years in the area and have never had an issue, always a good rapport with the trainers - I’m inclined to believe that it wasn’t me.
With the anger management issues I perceived, I wouldn’t leave them responsible for a grown adult, much less my sweet pup.

Our Shiba, Sly, would rarely come when called before and we believed we would never be able to let him walk off leash. He could also be temperamental with other dogs.
After a few weeks with Jeff, Sly started on the path to true obedience. He now can be trusted off leash and enjoys being given the freedom to explore his surroundings. Furthermore, Sly is also getting along with other dogs and able to interact with them without us worrying about any aggression.
We go visit Jeff from time to time for refreshers and Sly’s excitement to see Jeff is evident!

I sent my 16 week old French Mastiff puppy to PBDA for the 10 day board and train and she learned so much. Jeff exceeded my expectations and even sent progress videos during her stay. His knowledge, methods, and the way he communicated with my dog was 100%. Definitely recommend and no doubt will use again in the future. Thanks so much!

We hired Jeff to train our French bulldog. The training was so valuable and he taught us as the dog owners so that we can maintain it. His method makes a lot of sense and you can tell he has a lot of experience. 10/10 would recommend him, your dog will be well-behaved and impress other dog owners! Also make sure to do the homework he gives you, it makes a huge difference.
