TRAINING

"Jacob did a phenomenal job training our 1-year-old reactive GSD. We are a "dog family" with 7 dogs between us and our kids. Unfortunately, it got to the point that we didn't want to take her anywhere, including walks because she was so reactive to the point of embarrassment. We took a couple of private training sessions with Jacob but ultimately decided it was best for everyone, including Ravyn, to send her to the board and train. Jacob's training has changed Ravyn's life as well as ours. She loves being able to run in our yard, take on and off-leash walks to the park, around our busy small town, and going to stores that allow pets. We are continually complimented on what a well-behaved dog we have. It has given Ravyn so much more freedom and us the ability to control and trust her in public places. He still reaches out to us to make sure all is well, answering any questions and addressing any concerns that might pop up. I'm not exaggerating to say that Jacob's training was life-changing for us and our spicy, loving girl. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jacob!

"Jacob did an outstanding job working with me and my two Bernese Mountain Dogs. Since puppies, I have taken Toby and Luna to several classes with other trainers who did a good job training us in basic obedience. Unfortunately, even though our dogs are always on leash, unexpected scenarios happen that you can’t practice for in a standard class. After what we call “The Turkey Incident”, a friend put me in touch with Jacob. Jacob did an in-house visit where he impressed me and my husband with his training knowledge and ideas. We signed up for 6 one-hour sessions that turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made. After the first couple of weeks of basic training, Jacob personalized the training sessions to work on some of the specific situations we had encountered. In order to help our youngest dog ignore other dogs as their owner walks them past our house, Jacob invited several of the owners and dogs that he has worked with in the past to spend 30 minutes on a Sunday just walking up and down our cul-de-sac so we could work with Luna. The fact that Jacob went above and beyond to help us practice one specific issue shows that he is an amazing dog trainer who is very passionate about his job."
