Biggie’s Story

Biggie - 5 Week Behavior Modification Program

It's hard to explain all the amazing things Jake taught our dog, Biggie (and us!) during his 5 week training. Living with a dog that is reactive to other dogs is STRESSFUL! Even simple tasks like daily walks caused anxiety because every dog we passed, even at a distance caused an aggressive reaction. We tried everything before Jake - other trainers, online training courses, dog behaviorists and even medication to try to address the issue with limited success. 5 weeks is a long time but Jake sent us updates with pictures and videos every day and by the end of the training not only had biggie being able to calmly walk past other dogs on a leash but also calmly play/lie down next to other dogs even off leash. Best of all Jake's no nonsense, simple approach gave us the tools to re-enforce Biggie's training when he got home , a better understanding and perspective on dog behavior, institute changes we needed to make in our house to set Biggie up for continued success and know how to handle any future undesirable behaviors that may come up. If you are thinking about doing it - DO IT! Reactive or not , I'll never have another dog and not take them to Jake - my only regret is not doing it sooner!
