About

I have trained over 300 dogs, worked at a kennel for over7 years, and am a certified pet dog trainer. I go to many seminars and read about dog training techniques. I very much like being around dogs, love seeing dogs and owners enjoying themselves. Dogs don't speak English and we don't speak canine, so we need to find the middle ground, and that is where I can help I enjoy seeing owners and dogs having fun love the learning process, a trained dog is a happy dog. Training is a way to bridge the communication gap, remember, dogs don't speak English and we don't speak canine.

Jeff has trained 5 of my dogs throughout the years and has always gone above and beyond. He's trained my rescue pit bull to my purebred corgi. His leash obidence is 2nd to none; and his commitment to train you and teach your dog technique, really works! Thanks Jeff!

It was just our first assessment but he really connected with our dog and had her responding to his commands well. Looking forward to moving on with her training with Jeff.

Having had dogs before, I had a basic understanding of the time and effort that goes into training a dog. It has been many years since our last dog and this time, training a puppy also meant training children to the same routine that we want the dog to learn and grow with. Working with Jeff has been a pleasure. He has provided me with good reminders as to how I need to approach our puppy. He has also provided me with my one-on-one training, so that I know how to instruct my wife and kids in their approach to our puppy. Having a dog in the house allows for great companionship as well as security. Having a dog that respects your authority and responds to your commands allows you to have a smooth interaction and a peaceful home!
