Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We cover all facets of training that you might be looking into. From basic obedience and puppy manners to aggressive dogs and service dog training. I can help with loose leash walking, jumping on counters, bolting out of doors, etc. I have helped hundreds of clients with aggressive dogs and fearful/anxious dogs. I take a science-based approach to all of my training. While every dog is different I operate by the least aversive methods possible for each situation. I have experience using just about every piece of dog training equipment out on the market, lets find what works for YOUR dog! About Me: My life simply revolves around dogs. I have been working with them for 9 years as a professional trainer and handler. I started my career training Military Working Dogs tasked with scent detection and attack work. I've worked all over the world with my dogs protecting high-valued military assets and alongside the Secret Service protecting the President. This ultimately led me towards a career exploring the true power of a dog's senses. I have my Bachelors degree in Psychology and Education from the University of California, Davis; additionally, I earned degrees in Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Natural Sciences from Sierra College. After my time serving as a Military Police K-9 Handler I trained Service Dogs for 4 years in Sacramento CA; along the way leading classes in basic obedience, behavior modification, and agility for the general public. I am a CGC Evaluator, certified through the American Kennel Club in Canine Good Citizen, Puppy S.T.A.R., Advanced Community Canine, and Urban Canine. I have brought my multifaceted experience together to offer science-based, effective dog training to all dogs regardless of size, breed, or temperament.

I have a very small, high energy pom puppy that has decided he is so adorable that he can get away with anything. And yes, he is adorable but some of his behaviors definitely are not. James took a very calm and patient approach with my puppy and within the first training session my little guy happily followed James every instruction for sit, stay, and down. James showed me what I needed to work on with my puppy and then watched me to make sure I was doing it correctly. James also helped us correct my puppys toileting issues and I have been cleaning up far fewer accidents yea! Our training practices have gone really well this week and I cant wait for our next training session. If you need a wonderful dog trainer who will respect you and your dog while helping to instill desirable behaviors, James is the one!

James is great! My dog is no longer afraid of bicycles and knows how to walk properly beside me. I would recommend James and this company to anyone looking for professional and knowledgeable dog training.

James was very helpful and was always on time. I did the basic training with my Belgian Malinois and plan on using standard training solutions for bite and protection training in the future.

James is amazing! With the free consultation, I feel better than before about my dog and his behavior. James showed us some new skills to implement along with new tools and boundaries. If you need a trainer or someone to work with you and your dog contact James. He'll make a difference with the first meeting!

James has been great! We have an 8 month old cattle dog who was having, what we thought, was aggressive issues with other dogs, both on and off the leash. Within the first 5 min James identified that while our pup is showing aggression it's coming from anxiety. Once that was pointed out it all fell into place. We've seen a great improvement in only 3 lessons and while we know that this won't all go away with in 4 lessons, James has given us tools to help build up his confidence. I'm so happy we found James! His rates are amazing and because of that I'm confident we will be taking our pup for more than the original 4 sessions we booked.
