Our dog came back a different dog. He is so well behaved and loving. Jason sends frequent updates while training and takes the time to explain what he is doing and why he is doing it.

Do not hesitate to send your dog to Jason and his team! Our dog Milo was an anxious mess. He was reactive to other dogs, barking at everything, and a nightmare to walk. We knew something had to change for his quality of life, so we reached out to Jason and enrolled Milo in the two-week board and train program. Jason and his team made the entire process seamless. We received daily updates with photos and videos showing Milo’s progress, which was both incredible and reassuring to watch. They also explained everything they did and the why behind it which was incredibly helpful. The transformation honestly felt unbelievable. Since completing the program, walks are calm and enjoyable; no more planning escape routes when dogs or bikes approach. We can even take Milo into stores, something we never imagined would be possible. We are beyond grateful to Jason and his team for changing Milo’s life and ours. 100/10 recommend!

I am an elderly widow who loves Goldens. I rescued a sweet girl who had a lovely personality but few boundaries and introduced her to freedoms she really wasn’t ready to handle. I kept her for 20 months before I was totally convinced I needed professional help. I got Jason Davis name from families here in my gated community who had great results for their furbabies from Jason. I was hesitant but finally realized I had no other options. It was such a success for me and Bailey! I now have a loving and obedient companion. We walk and hike and she is listening to me. We can go more places together and do more things because she listens. She is happier. She rests more and is more relaxed. She like knowing and honoring her boundaries. She is no longer carrying the mantel of pack leader. I am.

Words can’t express how grateful we are for K9 Functional Training. Jason was incredible from start to finish. After a previous experience with another trainer left us discouraged, Jason restored our confidence and gave us hope again. He stayed in constant communication every day, which was a huge deal for us and showed how invested he truly is. We can finally live comfortably again knowing we have control of our dog, not the other way around. Jason delivered on every promise, and we will be recommending him to everyone we know. When we get another dog, K9 Functional Training will be our first stop. If you’re on the fence about choosing a trainer, don’t hesitate you’ll be in the best hands.

We had an amazing experience with this 2-week dog training program for our dog, Andy. Before training, Andy truly did not listen at all—he was stubborn, constantly getting into everything, and it felt impossible to break through to him. The trainers were incredibly patient and skilled, and somehow managed to get past his stubbornness in a way we hadn’t been able to before. By the end of the two weeks, Andy was a completely different dog. He’s listening so much better, has improved manners, and is far more manageable at home. The progress was obvious right away. What really stood out was the communication throughout the entire process. We were kept informed, given updates, and had everything clearly explained to us. Even more importantly, they set us up for success after the program ended by teaching us how to maintain the training and continue reinforcing good behavior at home. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would absolutely recommend this service to anyone struggling with a stubborn or hard-to-train dog. Andy (and we!) are so much better because of it.

We are so happy we decided to entrust Jason with the training of our boy Tig. He is a Pittie who we rescued from the shelter in September. We wanted to set him up and our life with him for success. We did the 2 week board and train. Jason sent video updates daily and explained in detail what they were working on. It was so encouraging to see his progress and also how well he was being loved and cared for. Jason is an exceptional trainer and he has a true love and understanding of dogs. Highly recommend!
