Friendly Neighborhood Dog Training

James was amazing!

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.

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.

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!

James came to my home to help me with my Yorkie. Recently we've had an addition of two bull dogs who will be staying with us the next 9 months. James was great with all three dogs and is helping us manage a new life style. Our Yorkie dislikes the new guests and is being aggressive towards them. He's helping us all adjust so we can coexist and learn new behaviors.

James is very good with our dog and us. We are all getting training. I admire his patience and methods. Also his fees are very reasonable.

We had James to the house last week to help us work on training our new puppy (housebreaking, leash walking, etc.). We had a wonderful experience. James really helped us to develop a program for our puppy and it has made us very confident in handling his training. He's like a new dog since we worked with James. I highly recommend him!

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.

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.

It was a joy watching James work and connect with a dog he had just met. He exercised total patience with Ellie and with us as the clueless owners in training. Within the hour our dog religiously knew multiple basic commands and all of the advice and techniques James taught us are always being implemented. We've have several very good lab mixes through the years, but she is by far the loveliest and most intelligent. The same goes for the trainer. On-time, professional, just a joy to watch the transition from derpy dog to dog with a purpose after one session. Highly recommend.

There's simply is no better dog trainer than James. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere.

James is a wonderful dog trainer. He took our lab/pit mix from a wild, uncontrollable dog to one of the best dogs you could ever hope to have. If you have a problem dog or just one that needs a little extra help, James is definitely the person to turn to.

We recently moved and experiencing marking, pacing and excessive excitement with one of our dogs. James has come only once and already made a HUGE difference!! He gave us tools that made sense and were very reasonable. Thank you James!

We've recently experienced intra house aggression between our two dogs and were needing professional assistance in how best to intervene. We are very impressed with James' compassion, thoroughness, and commitment to helping us with our issues. He offers very specific practices/homework that are within our & our dogs' abilities. James' flexibility in working with our schedules is a huge plus and he takes advantage of opportunities to expose the dogs to outside distractions. We are looking forward to our future sessions.

We hired James to help us with someaggression issues with one of our dogs. She was a changed dog when he left after just one visit. We had our second visit today -- he's working with both of our dogs. We are extremely pleased with him and the work that he does. We are so happy we found him. He speaks dog!

James did a great job in helping me to understand my puppy's needs. He was honest, caring, and obviously competent. I will use his services with my dog again. Thanks James.

James took my snappy dog with low self esteem and helped transform him into a confident, non-agressive family dog. He really goes the extra mile and definitely worked with my schedule. I saw excellent results within as little as 2 or 3 sessions.

I was one of James students getting my certification. I watched him give his dog a command of sit and stay. James walked into his house and stayed for approximately 5 minutes. When he came out the dog was in the exact same spot and position as when James had left. He is truly a master trainer.
