FirstBarkWe have had great experiences with Justin over several years of training on and off. We got our dog Milo as a rescue at 3.5 years old and had a lot of challenges to overcome including some serious leash aggression. Justin helped us learn how to manage this with a firm and confident hand and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Justin's training transformed my American pocket bully Franco into a well-behaved companion. I highly recommend his personalized approach and hands-on training. Franco is now a delight, thanks to Justin's expertise and dedication. The Language Of Dogs has been a blessing for us.

I have known Justin for many years and throughout that time, he has formed a beautiful bond with every one of my dogs. I have seen him introduce to clients the basic commands that dogs need to know in order to have a healthy balance of discipline and freedom. I have seen him guide incredibly shy and nervous dogs into a world of confidence and trust. I have seen him work on high aggression cases where dogs had yet to experience any real socialization and end up becoming members of a happy pack. He reads their energy and they respond to his character. They know they are safe with him because his passion for helping them is palpable.

We sought Justin’s help with our dogs Noodle and Jaws, Noodle being 3 legged with introduction aggression and Jaws being a puppy learning how to interact with Noodle. In a single session, the change was monumental, especially with Noodle. We are now in a position where we can walk both dogs together safely, the household is calmer and more importantly, we have a better handle of understanding our dogs needs. Justin love for dogs, deep understanding and compassion is apparent, appreciated and respected. we highly recommend him to anyone that appreciates clear communication, fast results and educated dog training methods. Thank you Justin!

Justin's the guy! My beautiful boy is a 4 yr old American Pitbull rescue who came with no history. He was stubborn and had some bad manners. I knew it was important that I help Capone transition in his new home. After researching and training with some trainers in the area, I finally found Justin at The Language of Dogs. I felt he was exactly what Capone and I needed. During my first session with Justin, I saw an immediate transformation with Capone. Each session took place in real life situations and only improved. Justin is phenomenal in his calm demeanor, training style, and extensive canine knowledge. He takes video, sends a follow-up text/call of each session with step by step instructions, and provides amazing tips and tricks. Capone loves him! So do I. And so will you!
