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.

Experienced Dog trainer with updated evidenced based practice research on positive approach Dog training. I have had 4 prior Dog trainers and not one was able to teach my husky to heel on a leash and each of them was using choke collars and discipline. I finally was able to learn the techniques, movements, and punctual timing marking good behavior from Jeff's patient teaching. After the Complete Dog Training Program for 2 crazy huskies my dogs learned to sit, stay, lay, shake, wave hi, touch, not to jump, heel, turns on command, wait at the door. What I really enjoyed about the training was that scheduling with Jeff was super easy and flexible through text. He comes right to the house so there is no hassle of getting the dogs in the car and driving to a training center where there are other dogs acting as distractions and possibly aggressive. Jeff was also able to help me train 2 dogs at once which was very helpful. My huskies were very excited to see Jeff every time he came to train and they will sure miss him. Highly recommended this very professional, positive, punctual, and experienced dog trainer.

I found Jeff on google when I was starting to become desperate for some help. My almost 2yo chocolate lab, Riley, is full of energy but terrified of people and other dogs. Anytime we went out he would cower with fear when people walked up to him and run away from other dogs at the dog park. He didn't listen to me and I felt like I was running out of options. When We first met Jeff at the park, Riley was terrified of him and constantly distracted. After the 3rd lesson at the park we decided to change the location to my house which made a huge difference! We finished our 8th lesson today and WOW! It's like I have a new pup! Riley has become so much more confident in himself and isn't as scared anymore. He listens to me so much more and has learned some new tricks too! The thing I love about how Jeff trains is that he teaches ME how to talk in a way that Riley is going to understand me, or as he calls it "speak dog". I don't know where we'd be had it not been for Jeff and his training! If you're looking for a dog trainer, you're in the right place! I'd recommend Jeff to anyone!!

My bulldog, Murphy, and I, love working with Jeff. Murphy is much less fearful and reactive to strangers and other dogs. She gains more confidence with each training session. Jeff has made training with Murphy an absolute pleasure.

Jeff taught Jake important commands and helped us understand how to best deal with our rescued dog's abuse issues.

Jeff gave our family the much needed training and discipline we needed. We feel so confident about our abilities that we got another dog. It has been so much easier. Thank you!
