FirstBarkWe are amazed with our pup's progress after 10 days with Jeff. He used to anxiously bark at anyone who would come in the house nonstop. Today we have people doing some work on our house and he is being an angel! On top of that, Jeff takes your dog into his home and welcomes them like a part of the family. Grateful to have found him!

Honestly, words cannot express the differences we have seen in our Ringo's behavior and overall demeanor. Ringo is an 11 month old male 75 lbs Bernedoodle that is truly a loving dog. However, if you have ever seen the movie Marley and Me, well, we had ourselves a Marley. Cute and loving but full of energy and uncontrollable. We knew we needed help and began interviewing dog trainers. After a bunch on interviews we realized that Jeff with Palm Beach Dog Academy was the one. He came to the house and not only did the dogs (we have 2) take to him but so did our kids and that says a whole lot. Jeff is kind, patient, super respectful and very professional. He simply loves dogs and has a way with them that we did not see or feel with other trainers. His method of training made sense and that day, it was a no-brainer, we signed Ringo up for a 3 week train and board. In between the training weeks Jeff sent us videos of Ringo interacting with the other dogs that Jeff owned and other dogs that Jeff was training. Amazingly Jeff is the only one training these dogs and you could see his passion. Within one week we were seeing Ringo obeying commands happily with tons of distractions that we never thought were possible. At the end we got Ringo back and Jeff gave us an awesome lesson to train us on the commands and life with Ringo is no longer stressful. Don't get me wrong, we are still working really hard to maintain what was trained but WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! We are seeing Jeff 2 more times at our house to ensure we are on the right track and then he told us we could make appointments to come see him at his place if we ever needed refreshers. In fact, Jeff was over today and when Ringo saw him he got so excited and that made us feel even better. Jeff is who you want to train your dog... He is by far the best out there. He will treat your dog like gold and then some. Jeff thank you again for everything.
I was completely blown away with Jeff”s training of both human and canine. Jeff took his time to explain the “ why” behind his techniques and provided the most professional and stress free experience. My dog listens very well now and is a complete joy to have around. I highly recommend Jeff to train you AND your new family member. Makes dog ownership so much more pleasant.
Jeff is definitely a dog whisperer ! He has helped me learn how to train my dog tremendously ! Recommend highly !

Jeff is an incredible trainer - best I’ve seen!! My puppy was six months old and did a lot of pulling and was tough to walk. After 10 days with Jeff my puppy was walking perfectly next to me never pulling and even responded very well when we went to Petsmart and was distracted. And he followed up with me and said he would help with my dogs training for the rest of his life which is amazing. I highly recommend him for any dog!!
