After going through the craigslist nightmare and wasting $200 at the local "Big Box" pet store on watered down versions of training, I found a true dog whisperer here in Jessi James. No doubt her name definitely drew my attention, but wow what a wealth of knowledge and incredible intuition she has. I have a hard case pit/lab mix that jumped on every person we came across, chewed everything in sight, and was just generally a mess as far as obedience was concerned. To give a bit of back story, I rescued this dog from the grips of a kill shelter. I have attempted to train dogs in the past and spent hundreds of dollars on books, so I thought I knew everything there was to know about he subject. Boy was I wrong. After bumping my head against the wall countless times with this pardon my French "A-hole" of a dog, I was nearing the point of just accepting that there was nothing anyone could do and that I just locked myself into a decade of torture, as I was not going to give up on him and send him back to the shelter because I knew they would just put him down. Jessi saved his life and saved mine in the process. She taught me leash handling skills, how to connect with Duke and make him pay attention to my commands. Step by step her process broke down the barriers between him and I and he became more obedient after each lesson. If she could tame my beast she can sure as heck handle any situation out there that you might have. I sincerely thank her and offer my biggest recommendation to anyone on here searching for a total solution dog trainer. Thanks Jessi from myself and Duke. You have molded an incredible human dog relationship out of our hopeless situation.

Jessi saved my dog! Samantha, my rescued mix, was found wandering the streets as a puppy. After I took her in, I brought her for classes at a local pet store. She learned the simple things... How to sit, lie down, and so on. But she still jumped on people, chewed things up, and practically dragged me down the street. The other trainer from the pet store suggested different head collars and harnesses, but she still pulled. This was my biggest problem because I have had both of my legs broken in a car accident. On top of her pulling, she gradually began showing signs of aggression toward strange dogs. It got to the point that I was afraid to take her out because I couldn't control her. Then I found Jessi. Jessi showed me how to speak to my dog in a way she would understand, through my body language and my confidence. She showed me how to be a leader for my dog so she no longer felt the need to lung at other dogs, because I was the pack leader, and she learned to follow me. Not only have I taken control of my dog, but our relationship is so much better because of it! My dog shows me love and affection, but also respect! Samantha was once a danger to have out in public, but now she is training to become my service dog! Jessi has since helped me train my second dog, one who was very fearful and timid. Again, she has shown me how to be calm and confident so my dogs are too! Jessi has made my life with my dogs so much better and easier, and I am forever grateful for how she helped us!

Jessi James is a confident, highly capable dog trainer. She has trained several of my dogs and I will continue to use her to further their specialized training (therapy, agility and protection work.) She posses an incredible amount of knowledge and understanding concerning canine behavior and shows unlimited patience and support for their owners. She has taught my children the proper way to care for and train their own dogs and I feel secure in knowing that my dogs are happy and obedient at all times.

Jessi is awesome. She has helped our dog with basic training as well as dog aggression issues. We don't know where we would be without her! Highly recommended!
