Testimonials
“Jahmaal is an exceptional trainer with a wealth of knowledge and skill with dogs! I had my Giant Schnauzer Korra sent for boarding and she came back a completely different dog behaviorally. Jahmaal’s training didn’t stop with Korra he also helped me and continues to reach out and give me insight on how to be a better dog owner. Greatly appreciate his work and abilities!”
– Client
“Jahmaal was so helpful in addressing our concerns and training hopes for our rescue dog, Sugar. She had been on the street in a small pack, had several litters of pups, and was food driven after years of fending for herself and her puppies. Jahmaal gave us methods of working with Sugar and trained us so we could continue Sugar’s training. He even kept her for several days and introduced her to other dogs to monitor her behavior. I would be happy to recommend him as he is an exceptional dog trainer.”
– Client
“We highly recommend Jahmaal! He is an expert trainer. We were desperate for help with our 8 year old dog, Max. He was aggressive with any visitors we had come to our home and we could not take him out in public. Jahmaal found that Max has fear based aggression. After just 5 training sessions we have seen a major improvement in Max’s behavior! We now have the tools to continue the training and we are so thankful we found Contigency Canine!”
