Aggression Toward People: Jasper’s Story
I was called in to help Jasper and his mom…
Positive reinforcement means rewarding the behaviours we want to see more of. It creates clarity, builds trust, and turns learning into a fun, confidence-building experience for your dog (and you too).
This method works beautifully for every kind of learner — from puppies to rescues, seniors to service dogs, and households with neurodivergent family members or mobility challenges. It’s respectful, inclusive, and effective.

Or reach out with any questions — I’d love to hear about your dog.
Your dog can be a critical thinker, not just a rule follower. With the right support, you’ll both feel more connected, more confident, and way less stressed.
Let’s make behaviour training simple, kind, and actually enjoyable.
Let’s face it: when your dog’s behaviour becomes challenging, it can impact your whole life. Whether your pup is barking nonstop, pulling on the leash, reacting to other dogs, or jumping on guests — it’s exhausting, frustrating, and sometimes even embarrassing.
But here’s the good news: your dog isn’t broken — they just need the right guidance. And that’s where I come in.
With positive reinforcement and a tailored, in-home approach, I’ll help you and your dog build real, lasting change — while having fun doing it.

I highly recommend Jack as a dog trainer if you're struggling with how to deal with unwanted behaviours your dog is displaying. We have completed three lessons with him and have seen a lot of improvement after implementing his positive reenforcement techniques with our dog. Even after the first lesson, our dog was already responding to what had been taught. He is very supportive and caring and you get the sense that he really wants success for you and your dog. He cares about what he does.

Thank you for the great review. Moe is a sweet dog, just stressed out so positive reinforcement is perfect for an over thinker like him! Glad you are enjoying the service so far!

We are 2 sessions deep into our training with Jack and are extremely happy with the progress we’re seeing in our 2 year old Boston Terrier. Jack has given us clear and actionable instruction which has lead to shocking results! We had done other training before Jack but the process and results with Jack’s training have been far superior and simply just a more pleasurable experience. We’d highly recommend Jack to anyone!

Thank you for the review. It’s great working with you guys so far and really happy to see the progression, he sure does love his treats so it’s great to motivate him in the right direction.

I was immediately Impressed with the bond he quickly established with Benji. Benji loves his training sessions. We have worked on sit/stay, go to bed, no barking, no jumping up on people, using clicker training and treats. The instruction is clear, concise, consistent and done with kindness and patience. It has been terrifically successful. And I always get an email after the session, which I found very helpful. I would love to have Jack forever. But I don’t think we will need him much longer- which is a good thing. Clearly, I would recommend Coach Jack for whatever help you require with your pooch.

Thank you Candice for the great review. Not only is it a delight to train Benji but you being consistent and patient is leading your success. Benji strives for positive reinforcement and although you are getting enough success to not need my services, i am always a phone call or text away! eli bajet2025-03-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so grateful for Jack’s knowledge and help! I called Jack because I was stuck—my dog Maurice had to wear a brace due to a knee injury, but he wouldn’t let anyone touch his legs or put the brace on. Maurice has a history of abuse, so he can be defensive and scared when he feels cornered. Jack helped us create a step-by-step plan to work with Maurice daily, helping him understand that the brace wasn’t something to fear. This wasn’t a typical issue you’d call a trainer for, but Jack’s experience was invaluable. With a lot of patience and guidance, we are now able to put the brace on Maurice while he wags his tail! Jack is incredibly skilled and patient. His calm attitude and the way he explains things make everything simple, and you feel like you have someone supporting you every step of the way. He was always available by text and checked in on us multiple times to see how things were going. You can truly feel his kindness and love for animals when he works with you. I’ve learned so much from Jack, and I can’t thank him enough! Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the review! I remember the first visit Maurice wouldn’t even let us touch his back as he would run but with your hard work and applying positive reinforcement along with a lot of patience he has turned into a completely different dog! Great work on your side, it’s a proud moment to all of us! Dr. Natalie Engelbrecht BA MSc ND RP2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack is an absolute miracle worker when it comes to dog training. When our rescue, Mowgli, first arrived, he was scared, timid, and unsure of his surroundings. In just four short weeks, thanks to Jack's expert, positive reinforcement methods, the transformation has been nothing short of astounding. Jack truly has the magic touch—he’s a genuine dog whisperer. His compassionate approach and unwavering patience allowed Mowgli to overcome his fears and blossom into a confident, joyful companion. Each session was a testament to Jack’s skill, turning training into a fun, stress-free experience that both Mowgli and we thoroughly enjoyed. If you're looking for a trainer who not only understands your pet's needs but also works wonders with gentle, effective techniques, look no further than Jack. We are endlessly grateful for the remarkable progress Mowgli has made under his care and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking the best in positive dog training.

Thank you for the kind words. Mowgli has impressed all of us by how well he is doing. Aversive training wouldn’t have went well with him so I’m glad that he’s taking very well to positive reinforcement. As he is such great dog. Thank you again for the hard work! Angela Boehm2025-01-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We adopted 2 senior dogs that had high anxieties in Nov/24. 10 yr old mom and 8 yr old dtr. We hired Jack to help us in Dec/25. He was amazing. After 1st visit we noticed a difference in the dog's behaviors. He is kind and very easy to work with. Sadly, after a few sessions, itvwas decided to rehome the baby as they fed off these anxieties. Our cats and grandchildren were at risk. Jack worked with us and the Humane Society in this process. ❤️ We are extremely grateful for everything he did for us. I would highly recommend him! Thank you Jack! ???????? P.S. Momma - Freckle has already made friends with the the grandkids and one cat. 1 more cat to go. ❤️

Thank you so much for the kind words. its never an easy decision to rehome and happy to help throughout the whole path, Minnie will still be trained by me wherever she goes! Happy to hear Freckle is doing better with the grandkids and the cat! Aireus Stockley2025-01-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Truly grateful for Jack and his training! Our 95lb baby has a lot of anxiety and trust issues, without Jack we would have been clueless as to how to proceed. Just in 2/4 sessions we have noticed a major positive change in him! Thank you for all of your guidance and patience Jack!

Thank you so much for the review. He certainly throws us some curve balls but with enough positive reinforcement, we will continue building that trust and giving him the life he deserves! Thank you for letting me be a part of this Journey Tim P2024-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack has dramatically changed our lives at home. We have much better balance in our household since he trained us in how to be good pet parents. Very easy to talk to and very trustworthy. We always look forward to visits from Jack!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Blue impresses me every time i see him, not only for how quickly he adapts to training but how calm he is! A few treats and a few snuggles and i think he's going to be the perfect dog! Carmen Celestini2024-11-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack has been wonderful for both my puppy and I. He has been incredibly patient with my internet search dog training mistakes, correcting my spoiling of my puppy, endless questions, and dealing with the chaos of my world trickling down to my girl. I saw improvements in her and my behaviour after the first lesson, and I continue to after each meeting. He is honest in his approach, techniques, and guidelines. Im very thankful I found him! Highly recommend Jack if your dog is a handful and you're hoping to have the well behaved dog you dreamed of. 10 out of 10!
