My very small dog, one among twenty-five hoarded in a single room, came out of the situation with a terror of other dogs, underweight, undersocialized, and without any training whatsoever. Tweed's playfulness and affectionate nature were his saving grace. His trust of any human other than me was almost non-existent, however. I researched training options and decided, after reading reviews, to take Tweed to Jake. I watched for the first hour as he matter-of-factly began the beginning of training. When this included another dog introduced to the room, I was amazed at what I watched before me. Jake was very sensitive to Tweed's fear, but gently increased his proximity to the large, relaxed dog. I knew then that leaving Tweed for the three week immersion training was definitely the thing to do. Jake sent a video about two hours later of Tweed sitting in close proximity by himself next to the bigger dog. He continued to send occasional videos. Each time I was further amazed by Tweed's progess. Jake is immensely accomplished as a trainer. He is humorous, and very professional. I am so thankful we came to A Spot 4 Dogs, as is Tweed. I plan, for sure, to bring Tweed back for further training. He will be very glad to see Jake and his doggie sidekicks!

Arlo was a 12 week old rescue pup. Our hands were full as Arlo had a tendency to be short tempered with smaller children. We signed him up for the 3 week boarding program at six months old and now have an addition to the family we can all enjoy. Jake has followed up multiple times since the program has been over. I would highly recommend The Spot 4 Dogs for your next addition to the family! If we get another, Jake will be our first call!

We brought our goldendoodle to The Spot 4 Dogs here in Chattanooga for the 21-day board & train. At 10 months old, she was very sweet and cuddly, but would constantly pull on the leash pulling me and my kiddos down. And we generally just wanted to be able to take her places with us but she was just too much to take out. I called Jake here at TS4D and we decided to do it. He sent weekly progress videos, kept us up to date and when we picked up our girl, he went through step by step and offers LIFETIME checkups! She is so much more obedient and doesn’t even require a leash (except when needed or warranted). She is becoming a great comfort dog to our family. We cannot thank Jake enough! Added a picture of her at lunch with us and the kids and there were other dogs and lots of people around and she did great! We cannot wait to keep up Jake’s teachings with her and keep her progress going!

Our girls did the 3 week board and train with Jake, and here they are showing off on the North Shore the day after we brought them back home. They went from leash-pullers who lunged at other passing dogs to the dogs that strangers stopped to compliment while we walked them. We are thrilled that we can take them somewhere without looking like bad pet parents! Now we want to take them everywhere with us because it’s so much more enjoyable to have dogs who are trained than to have to worry about the dogs’ behaviors and what’s going to happen next. The dogs are much happier, too, because they are always up for an outing, and now they will get to go with us anywhere that pets are allowed. Also, Jake is just a cool person who genuinely loves dogs and is really good at explaining his program to people, too, which is essential if you don’t want your dogs to regress when you get home.

He successfully taught my dog some manners. Buster will now reliably heel, stay, place and more.
