FirstBarkKellie and Jason are dog whisperers. But they not only train dogs, but the dogs’ owners, too! They are passionate and knowledgeable. They are happy to answer all questions in a way that helps you understand. They give you good tangible advice on how to overcome certain issues, and are very responsive and willing to help out! I would highly recommend System of a Dog!!

Jason and Kellie are wonderfully gifted at helping people handle their dogs in ways that the dog understands. This creates a harmonious and healthy relationship between dogs and their people. I learned so much and am forever indebted!
Jason has been training and guiding us with our dogs and puppies for over 10 years now. Him and Kellie are extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!

I really enjoyed working with them. They listened to the areas I felt needed help with in training but also worked on things they noticed with my dogs. They gave good practical and helpful feedback so that I could be successful on my own with my dogs. I love that they can work with you on a walk and in your home. So they can observe and assist with all concerns. I felt encouraged and empowered when we finished our training. My dogs are more fun to be around because of the work we have done together. ❤

Jason is an amazing dog trainer. His love for dogs is obvious. He is knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, encouraging, and respectful. He uses positive reinforcement, and shares how to strengthen the bond between dog and owner. I have learned so much from him. He is willing to offer assistance in socialization, behavior and distraction, in addition to private training. If you are interested in having a strong relationship with your dog, I highly recommend System of a Dog.
