When I first met with Jay during our evaluation my pup Nalani was very afraid and unsure of someone…read morenew being in our home. She would not go near him or listen to any commands we tried to use. Jay explained to us the approach he would use during training and I told him about the different goals I had for Nalani. I did some research after our evaluation with Jay and decided that he would be the best fit for us and for training Nalani. There are two things that really stood out with Jay compared to the other companies I looked at, the first being that the was no shock collar involved and the second being that all training was done in home with me or my husband. These were important to me because I didn't want to rely on a collar for my dog to listen and I didn't want to send her away to train, I wanted to build that bond with her so we would continue to succeed long after training. That being said we are now two months post training and Nalani does not miss a beat; she listens the first time for all commands and has quickly learned new ones on top of what she already knows! Just to touch on the training aspect there are few things Nalani learned with Jay that I never believed would be possible or even imagined to train her myself. We live in a split level house and before Jay our dog would run and bark at whoever was at the door no matter the person. On our first official training day we were taught how to instruct her to stay at the top of the steps whenever someone rings the door bell and stay there until released. When Jay told us that was our first goal I thought to myself NEVER in a million years will this work! Well, it did! This is just one of the many simple commands that Jay taught us and I never would have thought of myself. It will also be one that will come in handy for a very long time. Another part of her training was to sit whenever told during walks, not to get distracted, and not to pull on the leash. This one took a bit more training but Jay persisted, he kept at it and showed us different techniques to use during our walks to accomplish leash manners. Now I hardly have to even hold the leash and Nalani stays right at my side and never pulls the leash. The last thing I'd like to mention is off leash walking, this was my biggest goal of the entire training, everything else was great but ultimately I wanted to be able to take my dog anywhere and not worry about her running off when not attached to a leash. After Nalani mastered the other training techniques Jay taught us it was time for the off leash training. This actually was learning on my part, I needed to trust my dog and show her confidence to be off leash. It was unbelievable the first time she did it effortlessly. No leash, right at my side, and I had no worry of her running off!! To end this long review and get to the point, Jay is an absolutely amazing trainer! He went above and beyond training Nalani; he met all of my expectations plus more. I have no regrets choosing him as our trainer and plan to use him for any future dog's training. Jay truly cares for the dogs he trains and its obvious the compassion and love he has as a trainer. I would highly suggest him to anyone looking for effective and lasting training.

Our puppy has responded really well, and we've seen clear improvements in behavior since starting our sessions. It's also obvious that Jeff has a way with dogs--ours is always happy to see him.

My dog has also shown me that he can be relaxed and not be in an anxious state all the time. This investment has already shown it was the best thing I could have done for my family and for my dog. I am very thankful for Ben and all the help that he does!

Adam quietly took a seat and allowed Luda to respond as he naturally would. When he had seen enough to evaluate, he gently took hold of his collar and corrected him. I've never seen Luda's butt hit a floor so fast. He was great about showing us how to correctly correct Luda's behavior, and gave us the priceless advice of not raising our voice, and explaining what the dog was thinking as well and how to use that to get him to behave properly. It was well worth the money, Adam showed up on time, and we'll be using him again when we've implemented his suggestions so that Luda responds without question. He is already SO much better! And he charges per session rather than locking you into a number of sessions. We look forward to meeting Adam at a dog park so that he can help with Luda's bossy behavior there. Thanks Adam!

Natalie was communicative with us and really made us feel like we were apart of the process. It was clear that Natalie spent the time getting know Walter and his quirks along the way. We also really value Natalie's perspective on Walter and his experiences in the world. Walter came home with an incredible foundation of training, a love of learning, and more confidence in himself. We also gained confidence in our ability advocate for Walter and ensure his success. We are forever grateful for Natalie and all the incredible work she did with our boy. We tell everyone we meet about our experience and hope so many other folks get to work with Natalie!
