Pawsitively K9 Services

I contacted Jack to help with my highly reactive 3 y/o pitbull mix. He is a rescue with some trauma. I was at my breaking point and didn’t know how to help him on my own. Walking him was a nightmare. He would pull, lunge, bark, whine, yelp, growl, etc. towards strangers, other dogs, and small animals like squirrels and rabbits. Eventually, I had to start muzzling him on walks because he was unpredictable. Thankfully, I came across Jack’s website earlier this year. After reaching out, he contacted me immediately and scheduled a time to meet my boy, Fudge. After meeting Jack, we decided to train together for 9 weeks to work on Fudge’s behavior. I could already tell a difference after the first session. Throughout those 9 weeks, I learned how to correct his pulling, teach him automatic sit, down, leave it, u-turn, reverse turn, circle turns, spiral turns. We are able to go in pet friendly stores with people and animals- no issues or muzzle. I get compliments on how well behaved he is now! I never thought we could get to this point. It truly has been life changing. We have just started training with Jack again to work more on recall and behavior modification. But, we really only need a couple weeks to perfect some things. However, I won’t lie; you have to be committed to working with your dog consistently, every single day. Even after you complete training, you still need to train with your dog. Jack trains YOU to handle your dog and manage their behaviors. He’s been so helpful and quickly responds when I have had questions. I highly recommend him to anyone that has a dog with behavioral issues.

We had nothing but an excellent experience utilizing the services of Jack at Pawsitively K9. I had approached Jack prior to finding a pup as I knew what I wanted out of a dog, but wanted Jack's experience to help guide me to the best fit for our family. Jack kept in constant contact giving me pointers and tips of things to look for in puppies both pros and cons. Once finding the right pup for us. Jack implemented a training not to correct our pup on negative habits but to instill a positive attitude and mindset so that she gets a jump on being the Best Girl Ever! Jack is extremely knowledgeable on the breeds, traits and characteristics which helps to modify the training experience to better suit your needs. We initially completed a 7 week puppy training experience. Jack did not train my puppy. Jack trained ME to live with my puppy and show her what I want and expect from her. Sure this is "training" but rather than pointing at the dog and saying "sit". Jack took his time to walk me through each measure and correct my form so that I was not confusing the puppy with inadequate signals or commands. Jack is persistent and cares about the people and the pups that he works with. We intend to utilize Jack for future work with Cheyenne as we progress through her growing up. Jack is highly recommended from our family! Photos were taken at 17 weeks old working in a public outdoor shopping mall with Jack's gorgous Mal, ENZO.
