They trained our dog and taught us everything we needed to know about how to achieve a calmer happier life with our dog! Now we walk thru stores and people are amazed how well behaved our puppy is!

Forever grateful that we found The Calm Companion K-9 trainers!!

This was only the beginning of my lifelong attraction to animals. I have always enjoyed spending my time with my animals, which have included over the years...dogs, cats, horses, burros, goats, and cows. I have always known that my real passion and joy came from being in their presence. I have a BS in Special Education from Ohio University, as well as, a Masters of Science in Education (Mild/Moderate and Moderate/Severe Disabilities Kindergarten-12th grade) and a Masters of Science in Early Childhood Education from Ohio University.

Marshall our rescue boy was sent to James for in-boarding training to become my service dog…read more Throughout Marshall's training James kept us informed via messages, photos and with videos of Marshall's training in progress. Marshall became very fond of James and his colleagues and it gave us a sense of ease that Marshall was enjoying his training and new work. James even took Marshall home with him and Out into public places like red restaurants and in stores etc. Marshall is now a very confident and well trained service dog accompanying me to many hospitals whilst I undergo hours of treatments, scans and office visits. I absolutely recommend James and his positive training methods whether it's obedience training or other training. I have included some photos/video of Marshall at hospital and in the grocery store. James has turned an abused rescue dog into my shadow and we are both enjoying traveling together without worry. 5/5*****

He came to our house and worked with several of us on training our pit/Rhodesian ridgeback mix, Scrappy-Doo. James gave us the tools we need to continue working with scrappy everyday. Scrappy has come a long way and so have we in the way that we teach him. We are very happy with the training we received and would highly recommend to others.

We adopted our dog from ASPCA recovery center and she had quite a few behavioral issues. She was…read morenippy, barking and jumping a lot which actually scared me since we have little kids. After working with Alex, we realized that her biggest issue was that she was "over-excited". Alex recommended her to be on anxiety medication which we found was VERY helpful and needed. He also explained to us how to monitor her levels of excitement by using commands and waiting for her to calm down before she became jumpy, nippy and barking. We also realized that we needed to use a muzzle when new people came in and around our 2 year old to make sure she's not nippy with them. All this and the commands gave us huge relief. We had 4 sessions with Alex and have had her for 3 months and we feel so much better. We definitely recommend Alex. He knows what he's doing and he's so kind with the dogs.

We cannot recommend OOTW dog training (Alex) enough! We adopted a ~1 year old from the shelter. We…read morewere not used to a large/powerful dog; especially one with a high prey drive and reactive behaviors. We were in over our heads and stressed out. In less than a month with Alex, we have learned so much, and have come such a long way. We learned multiple commands, walking on a head collar (simply because that was the safest choice for us). Most importantly in my opinion, we've learned how to keep our dog safe, others safe, and how to help her interact properly with other dogs and people. We still have a lot of work to do, but with Alex's guidance we are confident in our ability to be successful. Alex is INCREDIBLE with our dog, but more than that, he has helped us humans learn what to do, too. He's been so supportive of us! The group walks are an awesome option to further help us practice what we're learning and help socialize our dog. Alex has also been very accommodating with us and our needs. We highly, HIGHLY recommend Alex/OOTW Dog training. I truly don't know what we would've done without them!
