Testimonials
“This dude is top-notch. I started working with Josh about 4-5 months ago, and I can confidently say: bring your dog to him and both you and your dog will walk away better for it. He’s extremely knowledgeable about working breeds and knows exactly how to apply the right amount of pressure to bring out the absolute best in your dog. Bring a notepad — you’re going to learn.”
