The Existential Canine

We had a great experience with Justin! Our 16-week old bernadoodle did the puppy board and train and learned so much while he was away. Justin did great giving us updates (with cute pictures) and was very helpful when we came and trained with him. We are looking forward to continuing our training with Justin as Koda gets bigger.

We had such a great experience! Justin is knowledgeable and worked so well with Bailey. He was able to brush up on her obedience and give her the structure she needed to thrive. Also, prior to working with Justin she would not allow us to even touch her paws or tail so grooming was a nightmare; now it doesn’t bother her a bit. He’s been quick to answer questions and offer solutions since she’s been back home, and her transition has been very smooth.

We were referred to Justin by a friend and could not be happier with the results so far. Rubi, our hound mix, had become reactive during Covid. She was great with family, but not with strangers on walks. Justin kept her for a couple of weeks to get her on the right track. Seeing the improvements got us excited about what Justin was capable of. We have continued to work with Justin since then so we can learn how to work with each dogs specific needs. We also have a Great Pyrenees mix pup, Ollie, that Justin has been working with us to train. He is a big boy (75 lbs @ 8 month old) so we wanted to make sure he we start off on the right foot with him. We have become confident dog owners and are looking forward to finishing our Canine Good Citizen Certification for both dogs.

Experienced | Knowledgeable | Friendly I met Justin at the International Association of Canine Professionals' annual conference. I am a fellow dog trainer and connected with Justin there through a mutual trainer friend. Justin was extremely nice and welcoming and we had fun learning from others throughout the conference. Justin and I have kept in contact post conference. He is always continuing his education and looking to give his clients the best knowledge possible. We occasionally bounce training ideas off of one another and discuss different routes of training. I feel as if Justin is a great option for someone looking for a dog trainer that is personable and knowledgeable.

We had our two dogs boarded and trained for a month, and are currently working with Justin to reinforce post-boarding. The time and money are well worth it. Justin set a foundation for us to work with, and we are seeing progress each week. Our excitable hound is settling quicker each week, and our Pyrenees is learning to settle without being "on guard" when in public. They've gone from being good dogs to great companions. From reactive to active and de-active!
