Testimonials
Joeri’s extensive knowledge of working breeds and the ability to transfer this information over to the owners is unmatched. He is a wealth of knowledge, and we are very fortunate that he has brought so much of this to South Africa.
– Angela Ahern
We have boarded our two German Shepherd girls many times with Joeri before. Top notch experiences for both us and the girls. The girls were so perfectly behaved and Joeri even came to our house to help us get adapted to the training and made adjustments necessary to make it as easy and understandable for us!
Can’t recommend them enough!
– Stephen Szabo
Joeri is a phenomenal trainer who has an unrivaled passion in teaching the dog’s owner how to train their dog. He is always polite, professional, and courteous as well as punctual. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to improve upon their dog’s training.
