Jeff is the most amazing trainer!! I have had a few and I would never use anyone else. If you follow through and do your "homework" you will have the perfect dog. I really can't say enough good things about him. He is patient, flexible, kind, professional and extremely realiable. Here is a Short story, my daughter flew her puppy down from NY to do his 3 week training program and the results were out of this world!!! He was only 4 months old and you would swear he was a seasoned pro when he came back. I would highly reccommend using Jeff, you will not regret it!!!

Jeff and his team are amazing. Rae is a very sweet playful GS who in her excitment would rip the leash out of my hands to greet other dogs. Not always a welcomed behavior considering her breed and looks. Also dangerous when charging across a street and not responding to our calls. 3 weeks with Jeff she had her foundation of basic obedience training. I can now comfortably walk/run with her, bring her to my job and out for our traditional Sunday breakfast and travel much easier with her. Any concerns or questions I have are always answered. I highly recomend Palm Beach Dog Academy.

I highly recommend Jeff and Palm Beach Dog Academy. He has helped our 4 month old puppy from biting our young kids, crying in her crate and not listening to a well behaved puppy!!! Jeff boarded Lucy for 10 days abs we could not be happier with her obedience and skill set learned from Jeff! I hands down recommend Palm Beach Dog Academy!

My rescue dog bit a friend of mine who came to the house, although I had plenty of people come to the house before her. I sent him to Palm Beach Dog Academy because I don't know what triggered this behavior and I cannot have this happen again, especially since there are young children in the house. He came back yesterday and certainly knows his commands and we are learning to use the e-collar together. This seems to be the solution that I need.

Jeff did an amazing job with our Shepherd mix, Axel. Axel would not come when called and it was devastating to us because we couldn’t take him to dog parks or even in our own back yard unless we were prepared to wait hours for him to be ready to quit playing and leave with us. After three weeks of training with Jeff he’s a well-trained dog who responds when we call and does all the basic commands and then some. Well worth the investment and Jeff is always responsive to videos we send and answering any questions we have. We would highly recommend using his services!
