Highly Recommend AJ's Training for Lasting Results!

“We met AJ to help with Winston, our 2-to-3 year-old shelter Husky, and saw results after the first session. AJ transformed Winston’s obedience and leash manners while boosting our own confidence. By the end of our first lesson, we had tools and methods to confidently walk Winston, keeping him focused on us and not getting distracted by other dogs.

AJ has a passion for dogs and the ability to read their behavior, seamlessly adapting his approach to fit the dog’s needs. His sessions were clear and effective, making it easy for us to continue the homework. By teaching us how to communicate better, AJ helped us build trust with Winston.

We no longer worry about Winston darting out of the front door or the car; he now waits calmly until invited. He rarely jumps, walks calmly on a leash, and is quick to refocus when walking by another dog. AJ gave us the tools to correct undesirable behavior and shape a well-behaved companion. We highly recommend his services!”

“First, Odin (my puppy) and I want to thank both AJ and Amanda for a truly fun and amazing experience! With AJ’s experience in training dogs most of his life, it truly shows how dogs react to him while on the lead or training in the park. It doesn’t matter if your dog is a puppy or you had your dog for years, AJ will break it down for you and show you how to work with your dog as well as bond. We have now started the Agility training which has been so much fun in the park. I highly recommend this training team as both you and your dog will learn how to bond and keep each other safe. Thank you AJ and Amanda!”

Isa & Scott (EMMA)

Isa - “I have been working with AJ for several months. What I like about his method is that he goes to the root of the situation, which is not about my dog. It was about me, so I intensely trained to change the way I was treating my dog. It wasn’t easy for me, but I’m glad we turned it around. Once I followed his instructions and experienced the transformation, I was able to communicate with my dog and get the results I wanted. So thanks to AJ, I am enjoying great interactions with my adorable dog. AJ is a great trainer with great expertise, I find him to be a very passionate and dedicated person who enjoys his job to the top. Thanks AJ!”

Scott - “I’ve been working with AJ for seven to eight months with my boxer, Emma. She was excited/aggressive towards other dogs when we would go on walks. Since working with AJ, she has improved about 95% and now we are training her on obstacle courses and she is a quick learner. The best thing about working with AJ is that he is training me on how to be with my dog.”
