Testimonials
They really live up to their motto “#1 dog trainer”! We got our sweet Griffon in a rehoming situation with the help of both Jim and his wife. They stayed in constant communication with both families and kept us updated throughout the whole process. Jim even showed up to the meet and greet to make sure everything went smoothly.
The transition from their home to ours couldn’t have gone any better because of the training Griffon received from Jim. He was trained in specific areas and the results have made us first time pet owners lives so much easier. We can truly enjoy our sweet dog! We take him to the ballpark and he has been on car rides as far as Indianapolis without any problems! I was nervous getting a dog (especially with having a toddler) but Jim’s training and the handling of our rehoming situation has made it one of the best decisions!! I could not recommend him more! It’s so worth it!!!

Jim is a sensational and extremely knowledgeable dog trainer. He conducted a in home site visit to discuss my 6 month puppy, he showed me a couple things to work on and told me that if I stayed consistent on training with his teachings that I would have an amazing pup and the change has been amazing. Highly recommend Jim!

James has been a positive influence to us & our pets. We haven’t had a puppy for 7 years and were getting frustrated with his energy and lack of attention. He worked with our new puppy for 2 weeks and he came home a different dog. Our dogs are family and our house is a busy. An obedient dog that’s not a 24 hour distraction is important since my husband works from home. I never thought I would trust someone enough to hand over my dog for 2 weeks but you can clearly see he cares for the dogs he’s training as if they are his own. He texts videos and pictures daily to update you on your pets progress and that helps you get through the 2 weeks without your pet. Jim has been great with follow up questions and concerns. I will use him for all our dog training needs in the future.
