Testimonials
I’ve been attending James’ training walks and daycare sessions for quite some time now, and it’s always a great experience. The walks are fun, informative, and have really helped deepen my understanding of my dog. James has a relaxed, no-gimmicks training style that truly works. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to build a better relationship with their dog.
– Client
My dog is highly reactive and in one session with Grandpaw James we were able to walk by people, dogs, cars, music you name it with no reaction. He does an incredible job of explaining and teaching so that you are prepared to go home and continue the training. I’d recommend him to all!
– Client
I can’t say enough on what a truly rewarding experience it has been to work with James. We had lots of issues with our new rescue, everything from potty training to assimilating into our family of older dogs and people. James has kind and compassionate training strategies that has allowed us to be confident in working with our Finley to help him to achieve becoming a happy, and well-behaved dog.
