Thanks Jim! We learned so much from you; you have a vast knowledge of dogs! We will continue to work with them – in baby steps, but we now have the tools to keep plugging away at it. We’ll keep you updated as to their progress. We truly appreciate all you’ve done for us and our dogs. Kevin & Paula

Just wanted to let you know Loki is doing so well. We keep practicing with him all the time. We had friends over today and he did great. They got to see what a friendly sweet dog he is. They couldn't believe how improved he was. Thanks again for all your help! Eric & Michelle

Your insight into Digby's behavior was invaluable to me in understanding how to approach him. I bought him in the dead of winter and was beyond frustrated with trying to get him to do anything! As I quickly learned from one visit with you, I was the problem. He is a spirited little guy and I was at the end of my rope. Now we take pleasant walks, he has learned to "sit/stay","heal","leave it "and "down". It is another world for me now! What I loved the most about the training was watching you get him to do whatever you wanted him to do with a quiet ,simple command and then reward. None of it was aversive. We continue to keep up the lessons learned and hope that in the future he will move on to the next step in his training. Joan Ray and her

Thanks Jim for all your help and patience (with the humans)! I think this was the best thing we could have done for Kai and Cosmo and us for that matter! You are the best trainer we've had!! I think the one on one training helped us really focus on what we need to do for them. Sharon D'Amore &

We
had a blast with you, and Phebe is so much better, having met you. Our
walks have been really good, and she was even able to do a down with
a squirrel within her sights today. She didn't like it, but she did
it. She's such a happy dog, now. I feel it was serendipitous that I
asked a PARL volunteer for a recommendation at a random record-store
yard sale, and Phebe got to work with you!
Again, thank you for all of your time, patience and work. Marguerite,
Brendan & Phebe

My husband and I did not have much hope for our little 4 month old hound dog, Rider, that we recently adopted from a shelter. He was crazy! He would not settle down - no matter how much we said "No!" or how many times we would put him in his crate. We needed help and, thankfully, found Jim. He taught us how to handle and enjoy Rider ... and what a difference! Jim treated us and Rider with patience and kindness. Now, Rider is a terrific 8 month old who obeys "sit" and "down" and comes when called! We are a much happier family. Jonathon & Sonig

I can't believe the leash biting growling dog hater (aka Smithers) made such a change. We've really gained a completely new perspective on the mind of our dogs. This was an extremely worthwhile experience. Both Suzy & I truly enjoyed your company, and we hope to see you at the dog park again. Mike and Suzy Winchester
