Introduction: Hello! I'm Jeff Salter, owner, trainer and behavioral expert at Rocky Junior's Dog Training Service. What sort of issues are you experiencing with your dog? Whatever it may be, I have a wealth of experience not only successfully resolving behavioral issues, but also in educating clients and helping to create a happy, well behaved and talented dog. Unlike many trainers in our area, I do not ascribe to the whole alpha/omega or "dominance" theory of dog training. This method came about as a result of a 1940's study by a Norwegian animal behaviorist, and has been debunked for several generations. Those who practice this confrontational, punitive form of training get their knowledge from TV shows and outdated material. I am a firm believer in science, and modern animal behavioral science has proven that dogs have a mind similar to that of a two to three year old child. Who you shock, choke or hit your toddler? Of course not, as doing so would result in serious behavioral consequences. The same is true with dogs. I approach my work positively, using my knowledge and experience to work with dogs within their threshold, teach them good, positive behaviors and even help dogs recover from fear reactivity (aggression). My results speak for themselves - we create happy, loving dogs who love to please their owners. My student dogs fall in love with me, and at some point try to go home with me. Dogs should love their trainer! From puppy training to adult dog training, from advanced skills to Behavioral Adjustment Training, I'd love to help! My pledge is to Do No Harm, and to help you achieve your goals without damaging your dog in any way. Please visit my web site for more information. You can get started by completing the registration form on the Contact page. It's a good idea to visit my Facebook page, too, as it acts like my blog. You'll see updates from real training experiences, as well as comments from highly satisfied owners. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Jeff is great! He really cares about helping dogs and their owners. Its not just about making money for him. He wants to see the dogs succeed, and he really helps the people learn to teach their dogs. I have worked with him with my dog for about 16 weeks in the past and seen drastic improvement in her behavior. When I had issues teaching her certain skills, he observed what we were doing and helped me change things to make sure she would understand and learn. I am planning to continue to work with him for her training. He is always very truthful with me if I am making a mistake in my training so that it can be corrected to speed up my dogs learning and not confuse her. I have known him for several years professionally and know that he really cares what happens to the dogs he works with. I have seen him pour his heart into working with a family to help their pet only to see him broken hearted when he falls in love with the dog and the family decides to get rid of the dog anyway. If you use Jeff salter and dedicate the time needed to bond with and practice with your dog you WILL NOT go wrong! I am 100% satisfied with all of the training we have received with Jeff so far and am going to be working on some much more complicated things with him in the future.

We have a large breed dog with a strong personality and Jeff was really great with our dog and we're looking forward to him coming back, if someone would have said that I would see a change in my dog in one day I'm not sure I'd believe that! It true! He calm and relaxed! Thank you Jeff!
