My dogs bad habit(s) changed instantly when I began using the "tools/strategies/tips" that were given. The corrections are easy and only require consistency from us.

She is highly knowledgeable, caring, patient and so easy to work with. You can tell she has a ton of experience and understands dogs and dogs within family structures.

I cannot say enough good things about Jordan clark . If you are looking for a trainer for whatever…read morethe circumstances are I hope he is at the top of your list to contact . I had an emergency situation . I was struggling to get ANY local trainer on the phone . I left a message with Jordan and he contacted me at 8:45pm that day . It was so relieving to have some one that took the time to respond same day, let alone at the very end of their day .(Literally the only other trainer to call me back was in CHICAGO!) Jordan continued to uphold that standard and raise the bar , and at a very resonable price . The situation with my dog required further attetention outside of what Jordan could offer . Jordan had a network of KNOWLEDGEABLE HIGHLY CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS he was able to put me in touch with while we continued our one on one training with him . Jordan was knowledgable , patient , and so very resourceful . He never once made me feel judged or talked down to me . I am and forever will be grateful to have Jordan as our trainer . He brought hope , constructive guidance and knowledge , and comfort into a very difficult situation . And did I mention he did all of this at the beginning of the covid pandemic and throughout it ! Again if you are looking for a trainer I really hope Jordan and the dog training academy is at the top of your list to contact . You will not regret it.

The staff was always so incredibly understanding and empathetic to his situation and made every accommodation for him to feel safe. We really appreciated the text message and photo check ins to know how he was doing. As nervous owners it really helped reassure us he was in a safe loving situation. The penthouse option allowed the staff to be completely hands off but still give him the freedom to be inside or outside as needed. Although we had to say goodbye to Odin we will continue to take any future pets to whiskers, they truly care so much about each animal that comes through the door!

Staff was friendly, kept us up to date on how our boy was doing. It was our first time leaving him since we adopted our dog. So the small updates helped ease our mind. I believe our boy was feeling sad towards the end of our vacation and wasn't eating much just days before we arrived home. Again the staff was amazing , kept us up to date, worked with us to help Bruno eat and lift his spirits. The grooming part, we are very happy with. Bruno came from a troubled past, sadly he was mistreated and he suffers from anxiety and has a fear of nail trimming and baths. But thankfully we found someone who is very patient, kind and Bruno responds very well with. He's a very affectionate dog and soaks up all the love and attention he gets when he goes in for his grooming
