Jerry Barnes is the best !!! Rescued a Bernie Mountain Dog pup. She’s 11 weeks old. Wasn’t sure if she was too young for the training but it was amazing. She figured it all out in literally 15 min. No pulling and walking next to us !!! She’s gonna be a big girl so this was necessary!! Thanks for your help Jerry ❤️❤️

This was a life changing experience in training our puppy to walk on a leash. He went from taking us for a walk to us, taking him for a walk, and it became a very pleasant experience. Jerry was absolutely amazing with him and shared some tips along the way. I would highly recommend him to help get your puppy/dog on the right track. Happy walking!

Thank you, Jerry! The amazing dog whisper. I saw someone else posted that and it’s so true! I was at my wit’s end with my two sibling pups. They wouldn’t walk together for anything UNTIL we all met Jerry!!!!!!! Life is so different in our house ! Jerry is the most patient and calm person and that is why he’s so good at what he does. He even groomed their paws. We learned a lot, especially one word commands. The 3 C’s. Clear, Concise, and Consistent!

Jerry was great helping me with the leash training of my Dexter. He was so patient with him. The Calming Cord Slip Harness works fantastic. Makes for a much more pleasant walk. Highly recommend.

Jerry is a dog whisperer! I have a sweet yet anxious 7 month old golden retriever who was horrible on a leash from the start. As she got older, our walks were not enjoyable at all because of her constant pulling. Jerry came to my home ONE time to work with Rosey and me. He showed me exactly how to let my pup know who was in charge. I was worried that it was too late for her to change bad habits. I was SO wrong! Using Jerry's well engineered leash, Rosey was able to settle down immediately and walk right next to me as she should. Jerry is so patient and knowledgeable and his absolute love for dogs shines through. He is a wonderful trainer, and I know so many people who agree! Now my walks with Rosey are such a pleasure for both of us. I am so grateful!
