Bear's Story

Bear - 4 Week Adult Obedience

100% Recommend!
I sent my dog Bear to Jake for a 4 week board and train. I made the decision to send Bear to training because he was a rescue and has always had severe separation anxiety to the point of destruction to my house and vehicle if left alone. Due to an intense fear of crates I had no way of leaving him alone. After explaining everything to Jake. He talked us through what his plan was and we felt assured that Bear was in good hands. Throughout the weeks Jake sent regular video updates / progress messages that reminded me he was in good hands and made me feel at ease.
When Bear returned home, it was immediately clear that he had a positive bond with Jake which made me feel good. Jake spent a significant amount of time at our home coaching us and showing us Bears new skills and helping us gain confidence in working with him. It's been a few weeks since Bear has been home and I can say that Bear is a different dog in the best way possible. Not only does he go in the crate regularly now, but he is just overall a lot more confident, obedient, and calm. On top of his shift in confidence and him being able to be left alone- I never expected Bears other skills like place, leash manners, and overall impulse control to be so wonderful upon his return and I couldn't be happier about that. Overall very happy with our experience. Jake's professionalism, competence in training, and connection with dogs is commendable and it's clear he loves what he does. Thank you!!
