West Chester Dog Training

Working with Joe at West Chester Dog Training has been a game changer for our dog and family. Our 1 year old Bernedoodle was extremely reactive and my husband and I struggled with him, especially once we brought our newborn home from the hospital. We were nervous with a new baby in the house and a 80 lb dog. Some family members recommended Joe and he was able to get us scheduled for our first session in less than a week. We saw an instant change in our dog after just the first session with Joe. Our dog was actually responding to the training and to us. Joe helped equip us with the skills we needed to carry on training throughout the weeks between sessions. After working with Joe, our dog is a much better family dog, is more enjoyable to be around, and respects us much more than he did prior to training. We actually look forward to family walks now that we can better control our dog - and he's much happier too! I'd recommend Joe to anyone looking to have a better, more enjoyable relationship with their dog.

Today my dog and I had our first training with Joe. He was very personable and knowledgeable. We spent a lot of time training on a proper walk which involved mostly me learning how to walk my dog. The training steps were so simple, such as properly holding the leash, how and when to give corrections, etc. but a lot to grasp when I’ve been doing it wrong for so many years. However his patience and reminders helped me along the way. I’m definitely learning the training doesn’t end after the session and Joe gave me lots of pointers to work on before our next session. It was sweet to see my dog curled up next to him at the end of the training especially when she went to meet him she was barking with her hair raised. I’m looking forward to the confidence both my dog and I can gain from working with Joe.
