I'm a former Military Police Dog Handler and Quarantine Detector Handler, and I've trained thousands of dogs over the years, from every breed and every temperament. That experience is what gives me the confidence to help you get the best out of your dog and improve every part of their life.
Choosing who trains your dog isn't easy, there are a lot of trainers out there promoting their way as the only way. My advice is to ask to see videos of their own dogs, and their clients' dogs, being trained in a real public setting, not just in a controlled space where nothing's testing them.
From your first puppy class through to advanced behaviour work, day care, grooming and assistance dog certification, JHDT covers every stage of your dog's training.
Puppy classes and group obedience, building good habits early.
One on one sessions tailored to your dog's needs.
Supervised day care, with every dog behaviourally assessed first.
A structured 12 session program to public access standard.
Can't make it in person? My online programs bring the same training straight to your phone, so you and your dog can train together wherever you are.
Puppy acclimation, foundations, basic and advanced obedience, reactivity and behaviour management, it's all in there, and I keep the video library updated with new content.

A lot of trainers will have you practicing basic obedience in your backyard, but that won't fix reactivity. Your dog needs to be around other dogs in a controlled environment so we can recreate the problem and actually work through it. I have access to 40+ dogs every day at my full time training centre, so that's exactly what we do.
As a former Military Police Dog Handler, and after training thousands of dogs professionally, I've dealt with every level of behaviour, including serious reactivity and aggression. A lot of trainers claim they have the answers, but force free, positive only methods, while great for plenty of things, often fall short in distracting real world situations. That can leave you without the skills to stay in control, and it's how people and dogs end up getting hurt.
