Jp will be my go to dog trainer going forward for my current and future dogs. I like his style of training. He's very professional and really like talking to him about dogs and training. Most trainers would've had me do basic training first before the advanced training but not jp. I appreciate that he talked to me and actually listened to me (which some trainers don't listen) and had me start off in the intermediate/advanced level. The group classes are really good. Typically the group classes I've been in the dog is working for about 20mins total and the rest of the 40mins you're just standing there listening to the trainer talk. Not his group classes. He makes sure he pairs you up with dogs that are on a similar training level and you work your dog for 40mins with 20mins being down time. Definitely quality over quantity. A good trainer like him is hard to find.

JP is the best! Hes extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their training. Hes trained me on how to better train my girl. Honestly if you are struggling with your dogs behavior or just need help with manners, hes definitely the trainer to see.

JP did an amazing job helping my family and I build a better relationship with my dog, Suki! Suki suffered from a lot of anxiety, which occasionally even manifested as aggression when it was at its worst, and we were at a complete loss as to how to help her. JP helped us understand Sukis mindset, showed us how to read her signs and signals, taught us how to lead and redirect Sukis behavior, and, most importantly, gave us the encouragement and guidance we needed to believe in Sukis potential and provide her with the leadership and safety she needs to thrive! His lessons were thorough and easy to understand, and he was always patient, compassionate, and encouraging. Scheduling lessons was incredibly easy, and he was gracious and flexible when life happened and we had to reschedule here and there. I would absolutely recommend JP to anyone who wants to strengthen their bond with their dog and gain the freedom and confidence to enjoy a happy, healthy, life-long partnership with them!

JP and his wife are responsive in their customer service, and are very professional. We (humans and dog) immediately felt at ease with them both. They have tremendous respect for the owners and the dogs equally, and are not critical of other training methods - they simply believe they have a system that works best! I like that they are respectful and don't criticize other methods - that tells me they are open minded, and that they don't have to lower others with criticism to make their service look good - it looks good all on its own because of their honesty and integrity - now...time will tell if our dog continues to respond to their training methods - we have a lot of confidence going into the private training!
