CIA Dog Training

We started training with Jeff one on one for 8 weeks when Gus was just 11 weeks old. He gave us the tools for raising a happy, well-mannered puppy. It had been over 25 years since I had a puppy and I learned so much—not only about training Gus, but also about understanding his behavior and communicating with him. Jeff truly is a “dog whisperer.” His knowledge, patience, and ability to connect with dogs is amazing. His techniques are not the traditional “command -execute- reward” you see all over social media- it truly is a journey of understanding how puppies process situations and react and behave- then the commands fall into place. It was a unique and rewarding experience and I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring dog trainer! I will be back for further advanced training!

We had our first session today with Jeff and our 11 week old puppy. He allowed us to pick and focus biggest difficulty right now. We decided to focus on crate training today. He helped us tremendously just after a 1 hour session. Jeff was so patient, informative and straight to the point as he taught us all the proper techniques and corrected us as necessary. He left us with some homework to work on until our next session. Cannot wait to continue our puppy package with Jeff's assistance and continue to learn how to train our pup as she grows. Would definitely highly reccomend CIA dog training to any one with a puppy.

Jeff is by far the best training professional in this area! We had given up hope on our pit bull, as there were too many situations situations that she had been aggressive with children. We had Jeff come for an in home assessment and saw IMMEDIATE results. It's not just training the dog, but training us too and Jeff knew exactly how to get us back on track! Our dog has done a complete 180 in just 1 week, giving us hope again! HIGHLY recommend!

Our very spoiled female husky(15 months old) just completed the 3 week off-leash training where she stayed at CIA Training. Huskies are challenging to train and she was especially bc she is our baby. LOL. What a difference! I was very apprehensive about her being away for that amount of time and learning to use the ecollar when she returned. Jeff did an amazing job with her training and Dawn did a great job keeping her fed and treated per our desires. I am over the moon happy with her new behavior. Walks are so much fun and I actually enjoy working her during the walks with heels, comes, stays, leave its, drop its and her favorite, OKFREEDOG, where she can sniff until I call her back mid-sniff-and she comes!! She is still in her acclimation phase right now and it is going so well. THANK YOU JEFF! THANK YOU DAWN!

All I can say is this guy is incredible! We have now had two dogs trained in the off leash 3 week program by Jeff and I would absolutely suggest this for anyone looking for obedience training. It was a night and day difference from when they left to when they came back home 3 weeks later. Worth every penny!! What a blessing to have our very own dog whisperer here in northeastern Ohio. Such a caring individual and really has a connection to each dog he works with. If you’re on the fence about using CIA Dog Training, jump off and do it! You won’t regret it one bit and your pup will thank you as well! We are fans for life! Thank you Jeff!!!
