  • HEAR FROM OUR DOG FAMILIES

    “We went through two dog trainers before we found Joel. Our bernedoodle, Archie, did not respond to either trainer. We did not know where to turn next and then we found Joel. He immediately connected with Archie, and we saw Archie’s behaviors of jumping on people and dragging us on the leash greatly improve. Joel trains with love, rewards and respect for the dog. Over the weeks of training, it was easy to see that Archie was bonding with Joel. Archie loved going to training sessions and would start his “happy dance” as soon as he spotted Joel. Archie can walk off leash in open fields and we do not worry about him running off. He comes right to us when we call him. He no longer jumps on people when they come to our house. Archie sits and stays on command. We are so happy with Archie and the training we received from Joel. He trained us all so we could have the BEST pup! We highly recommend Joel to anyone who needs a well behaved, happy dog.”

  • HEAR FROM OUR DOG FAMILIES

    “We were so fortunate to have Joel train our chocolate lab puppy, Scarlet. Before training, Scarlet struggled on walks and she was afraid of everything. Joel taught Scarlet the basic commands, how to walk using a loose leash, and most importantly, he helped increase her confidence. Joel has a gift for working with dogs and with their owners too. Joel gave clear instructions and encouraged me every step along the way. He showed me how to use the commands he taught Scarlet, and how to reward her and praise her. Scarlet is so much more confident, and we enjoy going for walks now. I highly recommend Joel for dog training!”
