I'm a veterinarian who is extremely experienced with difficult dogs. I travel the nation for work, and am very rarely impressed. Jacob, and everyone I met associated with Fowler K9, were exceptional trainers and humans. I would, and have, trusted any of them with my own dog. Thank you all for your integrity and kindness. I hope our paths cross again soon. With thanks, Maggie and Dio (pictured with Swedish police last week)

Huge thanks to Jacob for helping us navigate our teenage Rottweiler. He was incredibly thorough and didn’t just train Crosby — he retrained us and gave us the right tools to work with him better.
We’ve already noticed a huge difference in our walks and short training sessions. The facility is great, communication was amazing, and we’ll absolutely be back for refreshers. Our next puppy will be training here too!

Unlike many trainers who are not kind and don’t know how dogs like to learn-
Mr Fowler’s knowledge and skill are beyond amazing and the dogs love him.
I can’t rave about his knowledge and abilities enough!
If you want the best in the Treasure Valley, Idaho- it is Fowler K-9.

I've met and worked with many dog trainers over the years. Jacob is right at the top. He will teach you important stuff about how your dog sees the world. Most important his view is that it is much better for you and your dog to understand training is most effective when you use techniques that make your dog Want to do the behaviors you're looking for and not forcing it. Such a big difference and it will really solidify the relationship and trust between you both and make you a consistent, calm leader for your dog so that you can give him or her their best life. Most important as you learn to relate to your dog in a new way you'll be having fun and you'll see results quickly.
