 “I met Jake at the park…he was with his lovely dog Sara Beth and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw how well behaved she was. I own a 10 mth yellow Labrador Retriever “Molly” who loved to pull on her leash and bark at other dogs. I have always been a dog lover/owner who enjoys outdoor activities in social environment. My husband and I hired Jake to discipline our new pup and it was worth every penny.

Molly can now sit in a chair (off leash) at dog friendly establishments without barking or creating uncomfortable environments. She can walk to the side of me off leash, retrieve beers out of my cooler, and is happier than a clam! Training Molly with Union Dog Training has made hers and my life so much easier. I highly recommend meeting with Jake if you are having similar issues with your pet.  Union Dog Training is a five star deal (hands down)!”

“Working with Jake and Ben has been fantastic and absolutely worth every penny. When we started training, I couldn’t let Crosby off leash in our back yard without concern that he was going to quickly turn it into a game of chase and end up hit by a car. The response has been simply amazing! Within 6 weeks we’ve already seen an unbelievable difference in his obedience. Both friends and strangers can’t believe that he is only 13 months old and so well behaved.”

“I first met Jake while at the dog park exercising my 6 month old boxer Carson. I was immediately envious of how well Jake had trained his dog, Sarah Beth. Jake gave me his contact information and told me he could teach Carson to be just as well-trained. While dog-training was always something i had considered for my dogs, I never knew how much of an effect it could have on my life and my relationships with my dogs. I decided to take the plunge!

Carson and I started meeting with Jake once a week. After just a few sessions, I could already see the impact that Jake’s training was having.  Carson became obedient, patient and well-behaved and our bond began to strengthen. At 6 months old I could walk him down the street without a leash with not a single worry that he would run away or leave my side. Jake made the experience relaxed, easy, and most of all fun. He kept me involved every step of the way and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have had Jake work with my dog. I would highly recommend his Union Dog training program to anyone!”

“After I rescued Sully, I was a bit overwhelmed with his LARGE personality. Sully is an English Pointer Mix and 35 % knucklehead.  He liked to jump all over me and my friends, wouldn’t come when called, pulled on his leash, basically had no sense of calm behavior.

When I got linked up with Jake at Union Dog Training, I honestly wasn’t much of a believer to the improvements he could bestow on Sully.  It was a welcoming surprise to see how far my boy had come.  Now Sully has not only gained a sense of obedience but has also become an amazing retrieval companion, and he walks off leash!  He can hold anything his mouth until I tell him not to.  Sully is happier, smarter, and willing to please his owner (me).

Our relationship is now a more solid companionship, and no longer one sided thanks to Jake.  I would refer Union Dog Training to anyone who has a dog in need.”

 Jake is excellent! He has trained both of my dogs. Not only are they fun to walk on and off leash, but they are also very well behaved in my house and social situations. I called Jake in a panic because we have a rescue pitiful, and wanted to make sure he was compatible with our other bulldog. Not only did Jake take our pitiful for 5 days to make sure he was listening to commands, but he kept up with the dogs training and checked in with me weekly, making sure both dogs were getting a long. Money very well spent to a trustworthy person! Do yourself a favor and let Jake train your dog, it will make your life much easier!!!

 "BEST MONEY EVERY SPENT!!"

We have never used a dog trainer before (and we've both grown up with multiple dogs), but after our puppy of 4 months ran into the road with our three little ones chasing behind, without pausing to look both ways, we knew we needed to do something...and FAST! We heard about Jake through a friend and neighbor. He is a thoughtful, fun, enjoyable person whom you can tell truly loves dogs! Though at first we were hesitant about the cost, watching Jake for literally the first 5 minutes with Carly (the dog), my husband turned to me and said, "Best money ever spent!" I agree!! We will certainly use him again with future pups! Carly is by far the best behaved dog we've ever had!! Can't say enough positive things!!
