We had an exceptional experience with Pence K9. Jasons expertise and patience working with our two big dogs has been truly impressive. Not only did he teach our dogs, but also was patient with us and provided valuable insight to our dogs behaviors. The personalized approach that he took to ensure that both our dogs and us felt comfortable and supported through the training process was appreciated. He sent photos during their 2 week stay and checked in regularly once we got home after the retreat. Our 1 year old German shepherd was extremely challenging when we brought him to Jason and is now a different dog. Our relationship with him has improved immensely and our dog really enjoys training sessions. Thanks to Jason we can enjoy our lives with our dogs rather than be limited in where we can walk and take them! I highly recommend Jason to anyone in need to training support!

Jason was amazing to work with! He took our high energy pup and taught him (and mainly us) how to control his energy and release it when appropriate. We were concerned the training would change and make our pup scared but he is the same happy dog with more control. Would highly recommend

We had a great experience with Pence K9. Jason is an excellent communicator and answered all the questions we had before, during, and after training. He worked with our one year old golden retriever, George, for two weeks and we saw an incredible transformation in his behavior. Before training he had a lack of impulse control and would get overly excited with visitors. Now he is responsive and more focused. Jason worked with us to maintain George’s training and taught us how to command and correct him. I was nervous that it would be hard to maintain the results, but Jason’s work with George and with us has made it easy. It is obvious that Jason enjoys what he does and loves each dog he works with. I would highly recommend Pence K9 to everyone and will use him in the future if we get any more dogs.

We have an 11 month old Yorkie-Poo Koda. She is high energy and was not responding to our commands. Jason met us and within a short time told us he would definitely be able to train her even off leash. He had her for a little over 2 weeks. When we picked her up he spent about an 1 1/2 hr with us going over her training and what our homework would be. We couldn't believe the difference in her behavior. She was so well behaved and responded to every command. He walked my husband and myself through all of it. We brought her home and she is amazing. Our family was so impressed with what he was able to do with her. She even behaves and responds to her commands from our young grandchildren. She is still happy and loving and yes still has energy, but the main thing is she responds to us with all the commands that he taught her and us. Thank you for your amazing gift Jason! You can tell how much you love animals. Koda and our family can't thank you enough, We will be recommending you to everyone!!! Thank you. The Kinney Family

I highly recommend Pence K9 to anyone who has a dog that needs training. Our dog, Sadie, had some bad habits such as unwanted barking and nipping. After two weeks with Jason, her behavior improved dramatically. The follow-on training he conducted with us reinforced the techniques he taught us, and corrected the things we weren't doing quite right. Plus, anytime we have an issue or concern he is only a phone call or text message away.
