Testimonials
Amazing instructor who goes above and beyond to ensure the wellbeing of the dogs and ensuring their owners are comfortable with any situation that may arise. Training was never boring or felt like a chore, he kept the classes interesting and tested you and the dogs at every step. Price is extremely fair for the amount of training received.
The same can be said when boarding any dogs with him, he ensure they are well taken care of (and clean in the case that your dog… throws a fit).
You can tell he truly cares for the animals he has and has a deep understanding of how to handle and train dogs. Doing whatever is needed from home visits to answer 100s of questions. Scheduling was never an issue as he is very flexible.
Even encouraged us to bring our other less social dog to group classes and worked with him at no extra cost.
After training was all said and finished, he welcome us to come back with either of them should we have any issues at anytime.
Cannot recommend him enough!

I highly recommend Jared! He went above and beyond giving me the tools to control my German Shepherd LouLou, making me feel comfortable and confident in any situation! When I first met Jared I was petrified to take her on a walk. I had no clue how to control her and she would pull me non stop, now I understand how to control her and look forward to taking her for long walks! Thank you Jared

After a full year after completing Jared’s advanced obedience course with my working line Mal X, I have nothing but positive things to say. I had adopted a high energy, working line dog that I initially had no business in owning. He tore up the house, ate out of the trash, could jump nearly to my ceiling, and did not walk on a leash at all. My dog was lunging, barking, couldn’t go in public at all. I brought him to Jared for a consultation and he observed my dog and could read his behaviors immediately. We had set up a training plan of 8 weeks after that. I learned so much as a handler and dog owner I could not believe it. I continued using his training methods at home post training and I now have a dog that leaves people in “aw”. They are amazed how obedient he is, and how well he follows my commands. The bond between my dog and me is so strong. I have learned how to care for and bond with my dog so well I had went to school to learn how to train working line breeds. I now have my own dog training business in Texas, inspired to hopefully take what he has taught me and what I learned in training school to change behaviors of dogs who are hard cases such as mine. My dog that he had trained is now the poster and gold standard of my business. Jared and his training are above excellent and life changing.
