James was an absolute life saver when we got our mini Australian shepherd Murphy! He was so energetic and I felt like we had no experience on how to even begin training him. James gave us all the right info and helped us every step of the way. We were also able to do training in public places which also made a huge difference. James is worth every penny and we will definitely be using him in the future! Thank you James!

James has been great to work with! He is knowledgeable and patient as our sweet girl can be reactive. He’s been able to work with our crazy schedule and we’ve been able to train in our home and in public places. I would definitely recommend using him!!

James started working with our 12 week old lab puppy and now, at 4 months old, she is incredibly well behaved! She walks on a loose leash, waits at door thresholds before entering/exiting, can walk and listen to commands in a public setting, along with all of the basic commands. We can’t say enough good things about James and what he has done with our pup!

We just had our first session with James this weekend and we are so happy we chose him to help our anxious pup! Not only did he take a lot of time to get to know our goals with Ollie over the phone before even meeting him, he was very thorough in explaining why he uses the commands and hand signals he does and how they help our dog understand better. He was so kind and patient with Ollie and we cannot recommend him enough! Very much looking forward to more sessions with James

James is great to work with for dog training! He really takes time to get to know you, your pet, and your needs and really cares about the dogs he works with! Also has really great treats, according to my dog 🙂. He has weekend and evening appointments available which was convenient for our schedule, and we loved the flexibility he has with meeting up in various locations (home, dog park, public areas) to work on different skills. He also brings his dogs to training sessions to model skills and to help work on getting along with other dogs. Our dog can now respond to commands in chaotic environments, barks way less- even when other dogs are barking at/near her, walks much better on a leash, is less skittish with people, and is far less reactive with other dogs. If you’re looking for a trainer- we definitely recommend James!

James is awesome! When I called him he was ready to start right away helping us with our dog Joy. Joy needed to learn a few manners and needed more dog socialization. James came with his sweet pup Sadie and we got started. Our Joy is doing so much better and we owe it all to James.

James is wonderful! We have two very rambunctious 9 month old boyz (LABS for the win lol)! They have taken so well to training with James! He is focused on giving them the basic commands and also helping to make them more people friendly! He is flexible with our crazy scheduling. He is great at going over previous lessons while adding in the new lesson (and explaining any issues or questions that come up while working with the boyz). We found James thru a referral and are so very HAPPY to have James working with the boyz. James the dog trainer LLC for the win! Thanks James!

I cannot recommend James enough! With our busy and fluctuating schedule, we weren’t able to sign up for a traditional puppy class through a store/company. I hadn’t initially considered doing a 1:1 trainer since I needed basic puppy training skills and (incorrectly) thought that an individual trainer was only for correcting bad behavior and didn’t cover the basics. I am so glad I reached out!! James was so flexible and accommodating with scheduling and I learned so much because of his great teaching! I’m a first time dog owner & had a lot to learn. James was so patient with me and my King Charles Cavalier, Ruby, and answered all the questions I threw his way. I highly highly recommend!
