Thank you, James and Mary, you guys are awesome. I've talked to quite a few dog trainers. In the last 6 months and I choose to go with James. And Mary, they took my German shephand made her into a complete different dog. They are awesome. There is no one better than these guys to train your dog. Trust me. They have the love for people and their animals and they do a awesome, God, they are definitely dog whispers. I love them both because they gave me a piece of mine. And I was able to keep my German Shepherd. They always have my heart because they kept my family and they enjoy doing what they do.Trust me they are top notch

James and Mary are absolutely brilliant dog trainers. Their communication skills with dogs (and people) are unmatched.
They bring a sense of calm and confidence to every session and somehow transfer these attributes to dogs. It really is pure magic.
They have guided and coached our rescue, Marvin, in ways that my husband and I did not think possible. Their genuine knowledge and experience are second to none – boosted by approachability, kindness, and friendliness.
Marv adores them, and we all look forward to the next lesson!

– Kelly, Bill, and Marvin

As my good luck would have it, I met James out on a walk in my neighborhood last summer with my sweet baby girl, a 15-month old "middy" Australian Labradoodle named Lily. James was at another client's home training their new puppy and I caught up with him in their front yard. I asked James for his business card and told him I had been wanting to have Lily trained for quite awhile but I had kept putting it off. I had already reached out to a few trainers for information but never pulled the trigger. I held onto James's business card until mid-December. My only mistake was not reaching out to him sooner! What a game changer! To date, James (and his partner Mary, also a dog trainer) have come to my home on several occasions. When I initially called James on the phone and spoke to him to get more information, I felt very comfortable with him throughout the conversation. It was obvious he was highly experienced and very trustworthy. The changes I've observed in Lily's behavior are incredible! The results have reduced my stress level regarding her behavior. She no longer uses my wrists as a chew toy and rarely gets feisty with me anymore. Her vibe has become so much more chill since the trainings. She listens and obeys the basic commands when I speak to her. James and Mary taught Lily all of them. Lily is now able to jump in and jump out of the car on command which has been a highlight for me. Lily was a quick study, me too! Lily already loved people and training with James and Mary helped her also become much more socialized with other dogs. On several different occasions, James and Mary brought 4 of their 5 dogs to meet and get acquainted with Lily, including training sessions at Lowe's. Lily adapted very quickly. I'm looking forward to taking Lily out in public more often as the warm weather approaches. It's very evident that James and Mary love what they do and are true dog lovers. I will continue to use James and Mary for training Lily on an ongoing basis. They are very flexible with scheduling training sessions, and very accommodating. James and Mary, you're fantastic! Thank you for all you've done and continue to do for my sweet baby girl. I highly recommend James the Dog Trainer, LLC for training your fur baby!

This picture is from our 3rd session with James and his partner Mary. For this visit they brought along one of their dogs to help with the training of our German Pinscher who is now 14 weeks old. This was our puppy’s first time with another dog off leash. I am amazed at how well our puppy is doing since starting with James at 12 weeks old. This is our 4th puppy and although we have done basic training with our prior pups I am amazed at the difference we see this time around. James and Mary’s expertise has taught us a lot with the way we do our commands and with how we do leash walking with our dog. Great investment! Highly recommend!
