Justin became part of my dog village and I could not have raised or trained my papillon without him. His knowledge of and relationship to dogs is unmatched and his straightforward training methods helped me break strange puppy habits (like barking at the shower, refusing to walk downstairs), learn basics (leash walking, communication and commands), and overall just become more comfortable and confident as a first time dog mama. I plan to work with Justin again anytime I welcome a new dog into my life.

Justin is an amazing trainer! I originally came to him with help with basic commands (come, sit, stay, place, heel, & down) for my 1 year old shih-poo, Georgie. After only our first session we saw results immediately. Once his commands were proofed we moved on to e-collar training. I can’t thank him enough for his help in training Georgie!

Justin is a highly skilled and talented trainer who understands, appreciates, and most importantly, respects dogs and wants them to live their best lives. We wanted to get the basics down with our sweet (and large) energetic rescue pup and he helped us understand how to better communicate with her in a clear, direct way that has helped her thrive in the city. Our dog is obsessed with Justin and his dog Brutus, a living legend and angel on earth. Justin is very generous with his time and is super quick to respond to any questions that arise beyond our training sessions. Not to mention he and Brutus are a fun hang. Work with him! You and your dog will be better for it.

Justin is an amazing trainer. He really understands what motivates my pup because it’s certainly not food. He was patient with him and really drove progress very quickly. I can’t speak highly enough of him and my dog loves him so much- he sprints to his door on training days
