WHAT PEOPLE SAY

James has been a valuable source of wisdom for us as we train our first dog Kona. James has a natural connection with dogs; Kona completely loves and reveres him. If Kona had to choose between us and James, well, let’s just say we wouldn’t have a dog anymore! But James is no pushover. Dogs know who is in charge and we have learned that everyone, including Kona, is happier when she is not at the top of the hierarchy. Of course, we can’t always achieve this but James has encouraged us to keep working at it and not to give up. Thank you James!

Carolyn Dog Owner

James is an absolute wonder with our dog. He has developed a trusting relationship with her, allowing him to train her using positive and proactive approaches. James always demonstrates the upmost care for the safety and healthy development of our dog. He is knowledgeable and conscientious, I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
