I cannot sing Jeff and his team's praises enough. We rescued a 4 year old pekingese who was extremely reactive and fear biting. He wouldn't allow most people to attempt to pet him without trying to bite. He was food aggressive, toy aggressive, and bed aggressive. He would try to bite if you came anywhere near him while he had toys or while he was in his bed. After a board and train with Jeff and Kayla, he is a completely different dog. In addition to the board and train, training sessions were done as well so we know how to teach and handle our guy! I now have a dog I can pet, pick up, take care of and love on! The difference in behavior was immediately shown when I picked him up from his board and train. He is much more relaxed, confident, and happy, not to forget extremely well behaved and listens to commands. We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Jeff.

Hey there! Just dropping by to give you an update on Oliver. He's been doing fantastic since returning home after his six-week stint with you and your team. We've been steadily building on the great training he received, and it's really paying off. Now, I can rely on him to avoid the fire pit and join me down by the road, where he patiently waits at the front gate while I wrap up my tasks. And let me tell you, his work ethic has skyrocketed! Feeling pretty hopeful about hitting the trial field with livestock soon. Exciting times ahead!

Jeff was our 3rd trainer and the last hope for our Boerboel, Nikko. We acknowledge now that we took on a dog we were not equipped to handle. Boerboels are breed to guard and protect, and Nikko lived up to 100% of his ancestry. He also was exerting dominance over myself and our other dog. This was leading to dog fights, door aggression, and chaos. Our first trainer was a 2 week board/train that was leash based. He did well getting him under control on a leash. But we still were unable to allow people into our home without fear of him biting. They were just not equipped to handle his door aggression. The second trainer also recommended a two week board/train. She lost him from her facility on day 3. He was missing for 7 days, got hit by a car, crawled under a barbed wired fence - resulting in surgery and 53 staples across his back. Needless to say we were hesitant to seek training again. But we had no choice. He was unmanageable. Jeff’s understanding of impulse control, anxiety, fear based aggression, and his approach to training was nothing like what we had experienced yet. He explained why 2 week board/train would never work for a dog like Nikko. His recommendation was a 6 week board/train. Nikko came home with an engrained set of skills. He has been home now for 3 months. Jeff was very clear, due to Nikko’s age (3 years) and trauma this was going to be a 6 month to a year’s worth of work and consistency on our end. I am confident this is going to work. He is a better, and exceptionally obedient dog. Bottom line: Jeff and Heather are worth the investment. Don’t make the mistakes I did and try cheaper options. Your dog and Jeff are worth it.
