I love working with James as he trains our new dog. His patience and love of dogs was apparent right away. Our dog has a great future thanks to James.

James came to our home for an intro training session with our 2 miniature schnauzers. James was very nice and thorough with the scope of the session. The dogs loved him, and he had a ton of great information and recommendations for our situation.

James is an excellent dog trainer and combines dog training and life coaching together. He helped me organize a time management system so I could get my life back in balance and know precisely when to train,play, feed,sleep and potty my puppy. This has helped my puppy train so much more effectively. Looking forward to my next session!

I have an autistic child who is TERRIFIED of dogs. She can't be around them without running away and screaming. We had a family trip to grandma's house planned. Grandma has a dog.I reached out to James to help me train my child to tolerate the presence of a dog. James was Great! We talked extensively on the phone about how to go about making my child comfortable. Both James and his dog were perfect. At grandma's house, my child tolerated the dog ( I won't say she touched him, ever) she repeated James' advice to herself the whole time. Now, she is capable of walking down the street and NOT running away when we encounter a dog. We couldn't be happier.

He did a really great job with my Australian cattle dog. I would recommend him to anybody and I've used a different puppy trainer at Dog and Kat in Nashville. He's significantly better. You really should choose him.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Typically, the private in-home training that I do involves common issues like jumping, nipping, barking, chewing etc. Then, there are the people that are at their wits end with the potty training issues or separation anxiety destruction. Lastly, I have a lot of people call for aggression issues with actually biting people or other dogs. Dog's are good, but we need to teach them how proper no matter what the circumstance may be!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    No matter who you decide to hire, make sure that you feel comfortable with that trainer specifically! It is important to make sure that dog trainers are implementing positive reinforcement techniques, because you will have to continue to do what they do once they are no longer in your home! Most owners do not have heart to physically correct their dogs with the force necessary to make an impression, and quite frankly it is really unnecessary. Friendly Neighborhood Dog Training has a motto of "DO NO HARM" - What a great way to enrich your relationship with your pet!
