Hi, I'm Jacob.
I'm a positive reinforcement dog trainer based in Sherwood, Oregon.
You've already got plenty going on without having to figure out dog training too. When something with your dog isn't working, it can be hard to know what to try, what advice to listen to, or even where to start.
Working with me isn't just training sessions. It's ongoing support as you and your dog make progress. I'll figure out what to work on, put together a plan that fits realistically into your life, and adjust it as you go.
If you have questions between sessions or something isn't going as planned, you can text me and I'll help you figure out what to do next. I'll also give you resources to make it easier to keep working on things at home.
If that sounds like the kind of support you're looking for, I'd be happy to hear about what's going on.
