Testimonials
Great experience working with Big Dawgz. Affordable pricing, quality equipment and transparent & regular communication throughout the entire process. This includes training and boarding for 2 weeks, transportation to/from show, dog expectations, handling at the show, and coaching. JP showed 2 of our dogs, each performing well and receiving V ratings. Overall, quality and professional service and will continue to work with Big Dawgz for the foreseeable future. Thanks JP!
– JP
If it wasn’t for JP we would’ve had to put our dog down, he saved our 1 and 1/2 year old Male Cane Corso Kratos… I couldn’t believe this was my dog. JP did a 2/3 hour training session with us as we received Kratos back… My 6 year old was able to walk him on leash… There is proof to this man’s work… Communication was also good he always responded within the hour… Was very reassuring… He knows what training works for your dog and what doesn’t… Well worth the money in saving my dog.
– Client
JP showed my female for me 2 days at the MWRK show. He did an amazing job representing her and making sure we were prepared for the show in the meantime I highly recommend him to anyone!

About the Trainer
Big Dawgz BTI is a dog training business specializing in large and XL working breeds, with a particular focus on Rottweilers. The trainer, JP, serves as a Rottweiler ambassador and offers specialized sieger training for show dogs, on and off-leash obedience, puppy programs, and personal protection training. Training is conducted at a small, prioritized kennel facility where working and show dogs receive top precedence. The approach combines both positive and negative reinforcement, with all tools discussed during a mandatory assessment. Clients receive personalized training plans, and JP offers hands-on show handling upon request. Boarding is available with priority given to trained clients, and the facility includes spacious kennels for giant breeds. Additional services include dog imports from US and European breeders, with options for foundation, youth, and titled dogs.
JP has successfully transformed highly reactive and anxious dogs, including a Cane Corso previously deemed unmanageable, into well-behaved companions capable of interacting calmly in public settings. Training includes video updates, in-person coaching, and consistent communication throughout the process. Future offerings will expand into Schutzhund and PSA training.
Guaranteed results or your money back.
