We had a fantastic experience with Fowler K9 Academy and would highly recommend Jacob and his team to anyone looking for high quality dog training and boarding. We’ve seen a massive improvement in our dog since we started working with Jacob. Honestly, it felt like less “dog training” and more “people training” — we learned so much about being clear and consistent in how we interact with our dog. The results have been amazing. Our dog absolutely loved coming to class and was not the least bit apprehensive when we dropped him off for boarding. We just got him back, and he’s a happy camper — confident, well-behaved, and still his joyful crazy self. Couldn’t recommend Jacob and his team more.

Jacob trained me just as much as he trained Hawthorne. Working with Jacob has been a life-changing experience. My dog Hawthorne struggles with reactivity, and after a tough adjustment after moving, it escalated into a nasty fight between both my dogs. My vet recommended Jacob, so I started with private training sessions because Hawthorne couldn’t be in a group setting. We made significant progress on his obedience, and Jacob gave us tools to manage the reactivity. After completing 8 sessions, we decided to advance to the intermediate group class. This was as tough for me as it was for Hawthorne, but Jacob assured me Hawthorne was ready. Despite the challenges, Hawthorne successfully completed the intermediate class, and we’re nearly complete with the advanced class. Currently, we are preparing for the Obedience Trial in October, something I never thought would be possible. Since training, Hawthorne’s confidence has improved, and our bond has strengthened. While we still have work to do, we can actually pass dogs on the street without Hawthorne losing his mind! That was my number one goal with training. I am so grateful to Jacob and his community. Everyone has been so kind, patient, and understanding. Being an owner of a reactive dog can come with public judgement, and everyone has been so welcoming. Working with Jacob has helped me heal a lot of anxieties as a reactive dog handler, and I am much more confident now. Thank you Jacob for everything!
Jacob is a pro! Great with difficult dogs and owners!
Working with Jacob was relaxed, and his knowledge of training is excellent. He has patience and understanding while educating the trainer and the dog. I would recommend him to anyone.
