I was in distress over my boarder collie lab mix who was being aggressive with other dogs. A rescue, she had not been well socialized. I was in tears every time I walked her and was faced with having to find a new home for this dog my children and I had grown to love. The thought was devestating to my family. I was very impressed by how quickly James responded and how quickly she adapted to his training. He gave us homework assignments and within the first few sessions we saw big changes. I really enjoyed his positive reinforcement approach and how he was able to really tune in to my dog’s energy and what was triggering her aggression. Thanks to James, we were able to keep our dog and take walks in the neighborhood, on Main Street and in parks without being in distress. I also loved how this training had just as much to do with training us as it was training her and how our fear was being animated in our dog. It was healing for our whole family. Thank you!

James was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had our first session together yesterday, and it was amazing! My dog was very reactive and aggressive towards other dogs out of fear, and within our first session he helped guide me in ways to healthily redirect his attention. Its only been a day, but my pup and I are very happy with the things that we learned!

We are mid-way through a 10 session re-training course with our two dogs and the results so far have been outstanding. There is a marked improvement in the behavior of our dogs and we are very pleased with the training plan James has designed for us. James is thorough, knowledgeable and I was really impressed by his efforts to get to know our dogs personalities, backgrounds and the family dynamics (human and canine) before making a recommendation for training. We look forward to completing our course with him and reinforcing the positive results for many years to come.

First session went very well very informative. I liked how he took his time and gave time for kids to play with all the other dogs at the dog park we were at.we have a long way to in koda's training but with Jame's help we will get there quickly.
