Our 80lb sheepadoodle was a bit out of control although we did basic training with him we knew we needed more - he's loving but big and strong. After reading a recommendation for Jeff and his Palm Beach Dog Academy on Facebook we decided to make the call and arrange for in boarding training . Wow..what a great experience. Our dog came home listening to commands and was so responsive to listening to us! Jeff is professional and caring...responsive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend and worth every penny!

I’m beyond grateful for this training! We did the 3 week board and train and Jeff helped turn my dog into the best pet possible for us. Our 1 year old rescue is now so responsive and happy and smart! Jeff has been doing this for 30 years and really understands how to gently train. And this amazing training includes re-training me whenever I need it :) highly recommend!!!

JEFF IS THE BEST!!! My Sheepadoodle Bo did a 21 day board and train with Jeff when he was 9 months old and my family and I couldn't be happier with the results. If on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 is the highest, we give Jeff a 15! Prior to the training, Bo was somewhat timid especially with males, would put his paws up on our counters if there was food up there, pulled on his leash during walks, and really only followed commands if treats were given. When he came home from the 21 day program he was a different dog. No more counter surfing, much more confident and comfy around males, perfect execution of sit, stay, down, come, heel, and place with no treats, no more pulling on the leash (walking him is so much more enjoyable now), no more counter surfing, and last but not least, Jeff trained him to execute all of these commands off leash. In addition to all of this, Jeff is extremely responsive and caring. Bo is now 11 months old and Jeff has come to our house for several follow up visits which have been so incredibly helpful. If I text or call Jeff he always gets back to me super quickly and always takes his time with me, answers all of my questions, and makes sure I understand the info he has shared with me. Outside of all of this, Jeff has trained my wife and I on how to continually work with Bo to reinforce all of the skills that Bo has learned. The overall experience has been so positive and the end result is we now have a family dog that is an absolute pleasure to be around!!

Jeff was amazing with my rescue puppy! Not only helped with training, but improved her confidence & reduced her anxiety with consistent, easy boundaries with praise. I unexpectedly got a break job with travel right after getting a new high energy puppy and did not have time to do a lot of training classes. Jeff’s board & train killed 2 birds with one stone - boarded & basic training foundation that I could build on. Saving me a ton of time and allowing me to have fun with my new fur-ever friend!
