I adopted an 8 week old puppy, adorable and rambunctious.
This is my first dog so I was really nervous about the training. My friend raves about JR and the huge difference he made in his older dog’s behaviour. I called him up and was immediately reassured that I had made the right decision in contacting him. He was professional and obviously knew what I was getting into. I took his classes and puppy graduated!!! He’s such a good boy! Everyone loves JR and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. He’s easygoing, gentle and cares so much about the dogs. Our class bonded and none of us could imagine better outcomes anywhere else. Worth every penny.

Joe turned my dog from a little menace into a little model citizen. My dog is inching closer and closer to my idea of the perfect pet, and I have common sense and JR to thank for it.
His methods aren't rocket science, they are consistency and hard work. He's been at this for 30+ years and it shows. He came highly recommended from the well-regarded rescue where I got my dog, and so far I've got nothing but good things to say about the results I've seen.
Don't bother with ignorant comments about dog abuse here - whatever corrections he performs on the dogs are far less intense than what they do to themselves in the wild. It's impossible to imagine how many dog's lives he's saved so far, but I imagine it's more than a few.
You will not regret taking his classes

I really enjoyed my training from JR's Dog Training. I was refered to him by my vet, and i have not regretted taking his classes at all. I have tried 3 other vets, and they all gave up on my dog, but not JR. His method is effective, and really quick. He even came over to my house for a free follow up because i needed some help with the doorbell, and it was impressive how he was able to make the dog listen to him, even though he wasn't his master!
You can not make a mistake by going with JR's Dog Training! It might seem like i work for him from such a review, but i don't! Visit jrdogtraining.com - for more information!
Effective Techniques
Effective Techniques
I am a fan of JR for one reason, the results, the tools he gives us as pet owners to train our dogs is in the end, a life saver. The amount of times I am juggling groceries, my kids and the dogs, I have to say the results are proven to work. My dogs are calm, excellent off leash dogs and wonderful family companions. His technique with the chain is limited to shock training, it isn't meant to hurt the dog or abuse it in any way (I am a huge animal activist, I wouldn't do anything to harm my babies in any way) Essentially with the pack mentality in mind, a mother to it's pups will use body language to communicate danger. Often (just like spanking with our kids) if a pup strays the mother will not be gentle and nip the pup so it understands BAD IDEA, the pup doesn't need to know why, it just needs to listen for it's own safety. As soon as my dog got the idea of what the chain was for, we switched over to the commands using sounds like a clap or snap of the fingers. The chain was used to associate wrong doing and shock, never to harm.
If the result of the training is a dog that seems to be afraid then as the dog owner you didn't listen correctly and should be worried.
JR trains owners, not dogs, the owners need to understand when adopting a dog, it isn't about the dog listening to you, as much as it is you listening to the dog.
Not a fan of the chain at all, but a proven method that has nothing to do with abuse. Any dog lover with enough academic research will know this!
