Question on Google
I am on a fixed income and have a puppy who is 10 months old she is St. Bernard and great Dane. She is in need of training to learn to not jump up on people to walk beside me when being letc. my question is how long approximately what it takes

Hi Lynne, how long training takes to resolve behavioral issues and teach better behaviors depends largely on the owner and their ability to successfully practice what we teach. Sometimes things happen quickly, sometimes it takes longer. It all depends upon you. Please visit our web site for complete information.

When we first took our dog Sammy to Bradley Lake Park with Jeff to diagnose his reactivity he was at the end of a 30 foot line barking and chasing at everything he could see from any distance. We left within about 10 minutes because we knew it was too much for him. Fast forward to today, 9 months later and dozens of hours of training later, I was able to take Sammy to the Hounds on the Hill event where he walked the stalls with hundreds of people and dogs. I wouldn't have been able to get here without Jeff's help, guidance and training. Even after I finished 20 lessons with Jeff I felt confident using the tools he taught me to continue Sammy's training on my own and am absolutely astonished that I can do things with him I was worried I wouldn't ever be able to do. Thank you Jeff for all that you did for us! Sammy is a whole different dog than when he started training.

"Why can’t you be more like that dog?" was something another owner in the park asked their dog. They were observing how my dog, Rocky, was paying attention to me and non-reactive. We were prepared. We wouldn’t have heard this without help from Jeff and Rocky Jr. at Rocky Jr’s Dog Training. Our rescue had been in and out of 3 homes and had severe hip issues at 1-year old before he found us. He was not obedience trained and had many fearful behaviors in busy places like parks, extreme car anxiety, frightening resource guarding, and was even anxious of wind gusts. His reactivity and anxiety eventually lead us not being able to walk him too far from home. We started with the Complete Dog Training Program where Jeff quickly was able to capture Rocky’s attention. Soon we were able to build focus and work through behaviors. Jeff was patient while Rocky recovered from surgery, and I think the biggest reactivity improvements came after adding on additional BAT 1.0 & 2.0 sessions, with the help of Rocky Jr. Our Rocky still has his moments and we still have some work to do, but we’ve learned and accomplished so much and much more rapidly with the training and guidance. And hearing other dog owners now give praise instead of concerned looks feels especially rewarding. Thank you so much Jeff and Rocky Jr.!

We just did our first training session yesterday, and I'm already very impressed. I'm glad I went with Rocky Junior's Dog Training Service. So far, I've been provided with so many tools and so much knowledge that is setting my dog and me up for total success. My dog is very responsive to Jeff, and seems very eager to learn. Jeff provides you with excellent ideas for homework to do between sessions. I'm very excited to see the outcome of the package I purchased. I already know it is money well-spent!

My dog Titan and I both had a great experience with Jeff, he was always on time, very responsive and is very flexible with scheduling. He is very patient and positive to work with and doesn’t talk down to you if you aren't very knowledgeable about dog behavior. He will repeat things as many times as you need him to and never loses his patience or appears frustrated. He is very good at keeping the dogs engaged and they are always so excited to see him. As soon as I put Titans training harness on he starts looking out the window! Thanks Jeff for your help and knowledge, I look forward to working with you again in the future.
