About

Hi, My name is Jesse! I’ve been training dogs for the past 3 years and I’ve been loving every minute of it, from behavior modification, basic obedience and manners to confidence building and introduction to sport work, we can accomplish it all together.. With the tools and knowledge I’ll provide to you and some hard work on your end we’ll have your canine companion looking great in no time. You may notice my rates are significantly lower than other trainers, that is due to the fact that I simply love what I do, and I feel training should be something accessible to EVERYONE.

BEST DOG TRAINER EVER!!! I hired Jesse because my 14 week old puppy was not crate trained or potty trained. Jesse took him for 1 week and he came back fully crate trained, slept for 8 hours each night and goes potty outside every time! Hire Jesse, you will not regret it, he has the magic touch!

Mocha done a board and train for 14 days. He was a hyperactive puppy who demanded a lot of attention. He had a lot of impulse control problems: cannot sit or settle by himself, nonetheless for a long period of time, barking or whining for attention whenever he needs something, occasionally pulling while walking and 🤣terrible loose leash walking (going left then going right, always wrapping me around with the leash).

He got home yesterday. He was able to lie down for almost 2 hours for me to trim him. Does require correction here and there but it was much easier than before. He is much quieter. He can patiently wait even if he knows I woke up (no barking or whining!!) he automatically settles whenever I stay at a place for a longer period of time. He only needs corrections for direction while walking.

Thank you for Jesse giving me such peace of mind!!!

Just started working with Jesse and I'm happy we picked him. He's very knowledgeable and understands every dog is different. Our dog was very responsive to his training.

Will update the review after we get through a few more sessions.

Jesse is the best dog trainer!! He is very knowledgeable. He gave me so much information before we officially started training. My Cane Corso did his two week board and train working on puppy foundation and confidence. I am so impressed with how confident and how fast she was able to retain her training. She’s much more sociable with other dogs/people and already has a great off leash recall. I also love the fact that he has the same dog so I know he’s super knowledgeable in my puppy’s breed. I look forward to continuing to work with him throughout my pups life.

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Extra large (70+ lbs) • I'm flexible • General obedience training • Leash pulling • House training • Barking • My home, venue, etc.
