Testimonials

Jeff is a stellar trainer. So stellar many police departments trust him to train their dogs. We did a 6 session basic obedience package with him and he personalized it to our needs and catered it based on our dogs strengths and weaknesses. He is available on demand for questions and support. Well worth the investment. On top of that, his prices are quite reasonable compared to other options.
– Client

We were very happy with the training of our German Shepherd/Airedale mix which has a lot of energy and high prey drive. Jeff loves dogs and wants to help owners get the best time with their pets. The training was well structured, you get some additional equipment that is included in the price and Jeff helps you excellently to practice all areas of problem behavior. Session by session we noticed improvements and how to best handle our dog when something new comes up. The reactivity was reduced completely communication with our pet has improved.
– Client

I highly recommend Boston k9 LLC. Jeff trained our 2 dogs to get used to the city, not react to other dogs, and meet people without jumping. Our dogs’ behavior before and after working with Boston K9 is like night and day. Jeff worked with us every step of the way and took the time to explain how and why. I wouldn’t go to any other dog trainer besides Jeff in the future.
