Focused Dog Training, LLC

I sent Shiloh to Focused Dog Training for the two-week stay-away bootcamp not long after getting him, and it was an absolute game-changer! As a first-time dog owner who also works full time, I was struggling with training a large dog and having problems at controlling him at home. Before I dropped him off, I was more than a bit nervous about leaving Shiloh with some stranger for two whole weeks. Previous reviews assured me this was a good decision, but I had my doubts. I knew I made the right choice the moment I dropped Shiloh off. Jayson was warm and welcoming. His knowledge, passion, and energy were so clear during the conversation we had at drop off. What really impressed me was how well he understood my concerns about preserving Shiloh's happy, dorky, loving personality during training. I was worried that he might lose part of who he is due to overly strict training requirements, but Jayson and Kaitlyn’s emphasis on positive reinforcement ensured that he learned solid skills and still came home as my lovable goober. Shiloh now has foundations in obedience and socialization. He's responding to basic commands, and his confidence – and mine - has soared. But what's just as important is that he still remains his adorable, goofy self – Focused Dog Training didn't try to "fix" him or take away his quirks. He still chases the birds - it's just now when I let him. He still wants cuddles on the couch - just now I can have him stay in Place while I cook and eat before we cuddle. Kaitlyn and Jayson worked with who he is and gave him the skills he needed for us to succeed together and I am so grateful for it. The communication was outstanding throughout the entire experience. They kept me updated on Shiloh's progress via daily photos and regular reports. I felt like I was still part of the process even from afar. It’s been a few months since Shiloh’s been home, I have always been able to reach Jayson and Kaitlyn with questions, comments, or concerns. Kaitlyn especially has been absolutely fantastic. She has come out a couple of times to help me with areas that I as a new dog owner needed training on and it was very helpful. I also boarded Shiloh with Kaitlyn when I was away on a two-week trip and had the same wonderful experience I had had during the training bootcamp. He loves her and her family and every conversation I have had with her has shown how good she is at what she does and how much she cares about the pets we trust her with. Thank you to Jayson and Kaitlyn for giving Shiloh an unforgettable adventure and me peace of mind.

Our young puppy was acting out and showing dominance in the home and we reached out to Jayson and his staff at Focused Dog Training after trying two other trainers and he drove the 45 minutes twice per week to do in home training. Once we realized that our pup would better benefit from consistent training we enrolled her in their bootcamp program. She was well taken care of and loved...and got the training that she needed! She is now 9 months old and part of our family and she still goes to Focused Dog Training for boarding as we trust Jayson and his staff 100%. Without the training she received we may not have our pup. Thank you Jayson!
