About

I offer a range of training options, including everything from basic puppy training to advanced behavior modification with aggressive or reactive dogs, and everything in between! My approach immerses the dog in a structured environment with balanced packmates creating the right kind of social experiences.

Dog Training

I chose Dogtheory due to the fact that I was impressed with what he told me about his experience in training dogs. I have found his training to be quite comprehensive and reassuring to both my dog and myself. I would strongly recommend Dogtheory as I have found the trainer to be quite knowledgeable, patient, and reasonable. More...

This guy does a wonderful job with our dog Zelda. He is very in tune with the animals and seems to actually enjoys them, which oddly and sadly we found is not always the case with other dog trainers. He is highly recommended.

Jack is amazing! My dog was only nice to me and my boyfriend. He was very aggressive toward anyone that came near me( very protective). I tried to bite my sister. Jack has him for 2 weeks and I picked up a different dog! He kept me from getting evicted from my home and I am very grateful to him. He’s the best! More...

I absolutely LOVED Jack. He’s so passionate about his job. A few months ago, I adopted my dog and he struggled with anxiety issues when it came to being alone as well as meeting other dogs. Since his training, I have seen significant improvements in his behavior. I’ve also noticed how much happier my dog is. He’s very welcoming and always happy to answer any questions. I’m so happy and grateful for this experience! More...

Jack is awesome! I’ve seen so much improvement in my dog, Taz. He used to be very reactive around other dogs. Now, he’s much more confident and trips to the park are easier. I couldn’t be happier with the results! More...

This has been a great experience for my puppy. I was hesitant to leave my baby, Jack saw my reservations and let me stay to love on my puppy for a little longer. Jack posts videos and pics to help with the separation issue. I see how great my Bo is doing and can't wait to see him! Jack listened to my concerns and this training is Bo's first step to being a therapy dog. I can't thank Jack enough for the care he has given my sweet Bo. More...

Q&As

Getting to meet new dogs and make those connections. There's something so satisfying about the relationship of dog and trainer, and it can only be achieved if the dog deems you worthy of it. I'm very lucky to be able to do what I do and see that happen so often.

I think most trainers are very independent people, and I'm no exception. I worked under other trainers for years and enjoyed most of it, but I've always wanted to have my own operation.

I try to cultivate a deep connection with each dog, leading through positive support and making sure the dog knows when he did good! Having this foundation gives the dog room to be himself and learn in a safe and fun way. I have four dogs of my own, all of them with their own particular type of personality, and they're all very experienced with the social rules and act as teaching assistants in a lot of ways. With me, your dog gets to have a full pack experience and in so doing, enjoy the training, build confidence, and gain a fuller understanding of the world.
