Dedicated Dog Training

We had a great experience with James! He is so knowledgeable and so honest! After spending some time with us and our dog, he told us he “believed the dog did not need the extensive training we may have thought he did and he was not going to take more money”. ..I don’t think I can remember another time this has happened and we were so appreciative! He could have easily told us we needed more sessions and we would have gladly agreed. We wound up talking to James for about two hours and he taught us some great tips. He was such a nice, relatable, friendly guy who is clearly very knowledgeable about dog behavior and training. We would recommend him over and over and over again! More...

Amazing experience with Dedicated Dog Training!! James is incredible to work with and makes you really understand why your dog is thinking/behaving the way they are. It is obvious he spent a lot of time working to improve the behavior of our 18 month old Corgi. Not only did he do all of the legwork, but he gave us the tools to continue the training process on our own. The private follow-up lessons he gives really help reinforce everything our dog has learned. James and his team are caring, trustworthy, and truly "Dedicated" to Dog Training. Highly recommend!

Dedicated dog training was the best decision! Being that my Pomsky is very smart, he would test me a lot and not listen. He would constantly pull me on walks, try and chase any squirrel, dog or person he saw, and make walking him unbearable. After sending him to dedicated dog training for 3 weeks, he came back like the best boy! When I travel with him to the airport, people comment all the time on how well behaved he is. I take him for walks now and he stands right by my side, I even take him to the open park up the block with no leash! I Have recommended and will continue to recommend dedicated dog training to all of my friends :) More...

5+Star Review!! James is an incredible dog trainer. We enrolled our high energy, very stubborn puppy Mac in the 4 week boot camp and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I was overwhelmed and completely clueless on how to train a dog and was becoming increasingly frustrated. From my first conversation with James I knew immediately that he was the trainer we needed and after our meeting I was excited to learn that he thought we were the right owners/puppy for him. He taught me what I needed to be a good dog owner and help Mac become a great member of our family. I highly recommend Dedicated Dog Training and James, there are not enough stars to give!! Thank you James!! More...

The story starts with my wife luckily finding James and Dedicated Dog Training via a Google search. From the very beginning, James has been approachable, understanding, patient, and as the name suggests, dedicated in helping us tame our 1 year old HIGH ENERGY Golden Doodle. We opted for the private lessons at a very reasonable cost. At the very first session James was able to get to know our dog and get control of the situation very easily. To say "he knows his stuff," is a complete understatement. He didn't just tell us what to do, he explained the process so that we could better apply the techniques. With each session we have noticed a very large improvement in our pups behavior. James is very accommodating. It's a shame we can only rate them 5 stars. More...

James has been a God-send, enabling us to finally get control over Dakota, our 10 month old, high-drive long-haired GSD. Dakota is a very intense dog who tried to attack passing cars, barked incessantly, chewed walls, and pulled away furniture to get at toys that rolled underneath. Once she got fixated on something, Dakota would literally push away hot dogs to get at it. After assessing the dog, James was completely frank and honest with my wife, Nancy, and I about the amount of work that would be necessary to gain control over the behaviors. He made it clear that we could not change Dakota, but (maybe) we could learn to control it. Nancy and I completely bought into what James said since our past efforts with a different trainer were a dismal failure. After a few weeks, the transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. Dakota barely notices passing cars, she now heels beautifully, the barking is under control and she doesn't chew walls or pull furniture (at least when she knows we're watching). Dakota is, and will always be, a work-in-progress. As James noted, "she's a lot of dog." It's how she's wired. James is teaching us how to deal with it. Also, we really enjoy working with James. Not only do we appreciate his skill and insights as a trainer, but his sense of humor and patience. He's just a really good guy. I wholeheartedly recommend James and DDT. If he can teach us to cope with hurricane-Dakota, he can absolutely help anyone who is willing to apply what he advises. James is the best! 5 stars. Tim MacFall More...

I recently adopted an adult dog and was looking for obedience training. James was able to provide this and more—he really went above and beyond.

Not only did he help my dog, but also coached me through training bolstering my confidence as a handler. He truly cares about his clients and it definitely shows. I am so grateful for the knowledge he has equipped me with to ensure my dog is well-behaved and has a happy, healthy life. Not only is he a fantastic trainer, he’s a fun guy to be around.

We are so pleased with Dedicated Dog Training! Extremely informative, provided positive training approaches. Enhanced our abilities in being our dog’s leader. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for a dog trainer. We have a 16 month old chocolate lab Seamus, who had issues with overexcitement, disobeying simple commands, counter surfing and leash pulling! We had terrific results after meeting James from Dedicated Dog Training! Seamus is following commands and is a pleasure to walk on the leash. He walks right at your side and never pulls. He waits for commands before approaching people or other dogs.How wonderful it is when you hear what a well behaved dog you have! and for that, we can not thank James enough! More...

We adopted a 6 and a half year old black English lab, who was very badly behaved. He was humping a lot and, being a very obese lab, he was very powerful. I put him in a 4 week in-house training program and shelled our $3500. He was supposed to be off-leash trained, among other things. When I got him back, he was as bad as before, if not worse. I was SO UPSET, at my wit's end, and I was almost ready to return the dog back to the shelter. At the last second, I called up James. In just one session, James told me how to train him. Just as with the in-house training, we used the e-collar. By the end of the second session, the dog was walking next to me in heel position (without a leash). My last session with James was just us beating around the bush since I got what I wanted out of the dog. My dog is now just a super sweet, gentle being, who is just love incarnate. As for James.....I cannot think of a nicer, more wonderful trainer than him. He is a lot of fun to talk to, train with, and he is always there for any questions and follow-ups. TWO THUMBS UP and then some! More...

By very leash reactive and aggressive dog did a month of board and train with James. The results were amazing. She is is able to walk past other dogs while on leash without a reaction. We continue to use her e-collar and work hard with her at home too. It is definitely important to follow James advice of not letting the dog sleep on the bed or go on the couch. We stopped this with our dog and noticed a huge change. Now we use the couch as a big reward. We are so thankful for dedicated dog training. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. More...

We had an absolutely amazing experience with with James at Dedicated Dog Training! We have a VERY high energy 10 month old German Shorthaired pointer who likes to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. It was impossible for me to get him to sit for any length of time, let alone lay down and stay. I was unable to walk him on a leash because he was to strong. He stayed with James for two weeks and came back a new boy! He is still my sweet mushy fella but he actually listens to me! We go on multiple walks a day and I don’t have to worry about him taking me down! So grateful for James teaching both myself and Bruce the skills he needed to be a better pup! More...

When my wife and I decided to get a puppy we also agreed that we would need help with training. We knew what we wanted to do with our dog, just not how to get the best results. We started our search for a trainer and were lucky enough to find Dedicated Dog Training first. We liked the idea that James wanted to meet us and our puppy first for an evaluation. During that evaluation, he discussed his program and his methods. The last thing discussed was the fee. From that first meeting it was obvious to us that the most important thing to him was building a relationship with us and our dog. There was no hard sell, or pressure to sign up, in fact he almost left without our payment for the evaluation fee. Since we started working with James we've seen great results. Our dog is well on the way to where we want him to be, and we owe that to James. We know that we would never be this far along without him. He has proved to be more than just a trainer who comes by for a session and leaves. He has been a wealth of knowledge in other ways as well. We've encountered problems along the way not really related to your standard training. Some were basic puppy stuff, others were not. James has always offered his advice and tried to help. As far as we are concerned this was above and beyond what we contracted for. There are many people out there who claim to be dog trainers, but few really are. When James comes to our house, it doesn't feel like he's doing a job. It feels like a friend has stopped by to work with us and our dog. He takes pride in our accomplishments and encourages us when we falter. We cannot give any higher recommendation. If you don't choose Dedicated Dog Training you are doing a disservice to yourself and your dog! More...
