My boyfriend and I recently bought a house together, which meant our dogs would have to live under one roof and learn to love each other. Oh boy...one is a Rottweiler mix who is an angel sent from heaven above just hates other dogs. She would get snappy, jump, be aggressive, if was SCARY. A side of her you don’t want to see. Our other is a wiener dog mix, who plays well with others but isn’t always an Angel. I believe we had 8 lessons, and they now get along! They have their moments, but nothing scary anymore. Jeff totally turned it around and we can finally live in peace and harmony. THANK YOU JEFF! More...

When we got our pup in Florida he had reactivity issues with people and other animals. We moved across the country and things got worse. We were very worried for Bane. When he knows someone, he is the biggest sweet heart and just loves them. Things got even worse with him, to the point of pulling after children barking and growling. More...

Jeff was wonderful to work with. Although hired to work with myself and one dog, all my dogs took s liking to him and I ended up with 3 trained dogs. They were all very happy to please him and it was the highlight of their day. So you can teach an old dog new tricks! Along with my young GSD! I highly recommend Jeff! Gentle and kind your dogs will love the experience and everyone will be happy! More...

JEFF WAS hired to help with our dog, Greta, who while very smart wasn't always listening to us. JEFF was able to engage with Greta and keep her attention from the moment he walked in the door. At first during training sessions Greta gave him better attention than she gave us but somewhere along the way that all changed and she gave us her undivided attention. This has been a game changer in teaching her, it is nice to know she is working hard to learn from us. Thank you Jeff, for teaching the humans as much if not more than Greta. I have learned to listen to Greta and wait for both of us to be ready to work. More...

Jeff gave us the tools to work with Jake's problem behavior. Jake came to us with many issues after years of abuse. Jake is now a loving and happy dog who is proud to demonstrate his understanding of so many useful commands. And we know what to do when difficulties arise! More...

Jeff has done an amazing job with our dog max. We hired Jeff originally to work with us and max on desensitizing him to our cars. Max was a rescue and needed a lot of help. Jeff makes training fun and max just loves him. He responded so quickly to the lessons. Jeff is great with responding to questions you may have via text or email. He is very thorough and makes sure you and your dog is setup for success. More...

Jeff worked really well with AJ and me when our pup was a 4-5 month old puppy and the results have helped shape him into the very well behaved and obedient 3 year old dog he is today! Thanks so much Jeff for your dedication and patience! More...

Rocky dog training is the best I have encountered.
PATIENCE
At first I was frustrated by how slow our sessions went and all I could think of were the goals I had for our shelter dogs and thought I wasn’t getting my money’s worth. ..but then I realized that that is where the trouble was-lack of patience. The very best thing he thought me was to be patient and wait for the dog to be ready to learn.
Many trainers move faster but to do so they must force the dogs to respond and not have time to absorb what was done right (for both the human and the dog). The slow positive approach has been perfect for all the dogs I work with at the shelter.
TRUST
the kind words, treats and positive reinforcement set the foundation for a great dog. Jeff gains the trust of each dog he works with.
RESULTS
I have had him help with many dogs and he has been successful every time.
If you want results and a happy dog I recommend him. Thank you Jeff! More...

I hired Jeff & Rocky Jr at the suggestion of my Vetinarian, who is the Chief of staff at the clinic. We had several losses with the most impactful the death of his sister, my service dog of 13 years, from an intense battle with cancer. My 5 year old Yellow Blackmouth Cur boy started showing signs of anxiety and depression: became inactive, less playful, constantly needing to be with me. Jeff's positive approach and care for my boy has lightened his spirits. My boy now loves to work for me, he is playing with other dogs again, and loves being around people (especially children). He absolutely adores Jeff and his new buddy Rocky Jr. In the short 9 week training my boy is a new dog enjoying life with almost all his old fears and depression gone. More...

Jeff has been working with our dog, Scruffy and us since September and we have had very positive results! I reached out to Jeff because Scruffy was acting negatively (growling and snapping) to our son when he started crawling. I was a nervous wreck that something bad was going to happen. Scruffy has shown great improvement and I am much more at ease. We now have all the tools we need from Jeff to keep moving forward with positive reinforcement. Thank you Jeff for all your help with my family!! More...

Jeff's expertise helped my family save a 4 year old dogs life. This dogs family was going to end his life with support from their trainer. Upon hearing the list of things wrong with this dog- we reached out to Jeff who was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. After we picked up the dog.. we met with Jeff. Watching him with the dog,at a busy public location- around people and other dogs, was nothing less than amazing. He helped us feel so much more comfortable with the pup.. and he was able to give us insight as to why the former family was having problems with him.. and he was blown away that such a nice dog was at risk for losing his life. Jeff was not just available that day, but he has continued to help us through this dogs rehabilitation. He genuinely loves what he does and is VERY good at it! He has a way with dogs that is nothing less than incredible to watch. His energy and his love for not just helping dogs, but also their owners, shines BRIGHT! Thank you Jeff.. you are a wonderful asset to the animal/rescue community! More...
