I am super impressed with Jason and his training. Other trainers I tried in the past were no better than YouTube or online... articles. Jason has very specific tips and methods which are not covered anywhere else but really make alot of sense.I'm only 2 lessons into my puppy sessions but so far I am really impressed. (and seriously I have raised another dog read alot of books and articles and have had other trainers so I am not easily impressed).read more

We absolutely loved our experience training with Jason and we are so happy with the results! Before we went through... training, walks were stressful as our pup loved to pull, pick up everything she found on the ground, jump, and play tug of war with the leash. After working with Jason for a few sessions, she walks right at our side, is less distracted, and can even play off leash! We've received several compliments from our neighbors about how well behaved she is now! Jason was flexible with scheduling and answered all of our training-related questions. We're so glad we used Canine Scholars!read more

Where do I even begin?! I never knew how much my dog controlled me until after the two week training program with Chris. I... was at a loss with my dog. He was overly hyper, jumped on everyone, pulled the leash, nervous biting, and of course would run away at any chance he got. After two weeks with Chris, ALL of those nasty habits were gone! My golden retriever now comes when he’s called, we have the most enjoyable walks now, he will place and stay on things. I’m truly blown away. And so so thankful! Now instead of worrying about my dog 24/7 we have fun together and I don’t have that stress that I constantly had before. The only problem I have is WHY I didn’t do this sooner?! We were lucky enough to work with Chris and have never been so pleased to work with someone. He’s knowledgeable, understanding, and very talented in what he does. I’m so thankful for canine scholars!!!read more

The neighborhood is astonished at the transformation they have seen in my dog, Huck! Chris trained me and Huck together,... and in about five lessons turned him into an amazing, well-trained dog. We get so many compliments everywhere we go now about Huck’s excellent behavior. He can walk off leash through the neighborhood and on the Greenway and always stays by my side. He comes enthusiastically when called without fail. I truly believe he has a much happier life now that he can run free and play without being in danger. Thank you, Chris!read more

Jason spent time training us and our dog and the results have been amazing. We have the easiest time walking our dog around busy places with no pulling or jumping. We can also let our dog play off-leash with the confidence she won't run off. With only eight lessons, we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Hands down, we recommend Canine Scholars and will definitely use Jason again in the future!read more

We had our German shorthaired puppy, Molly, got to camp to be trained with Chris. GSPs can be challenging dogs given their... high intelligence and energy level, and Molly was no exception. She went from being destructive and all over the place on our walks to obedient and able to walk off leash. I was also able to use the ecollar to correct several undesirable habits at home...think sleeping on our bed our trying to hunt our outdoor kitties. Chris was great with her and I would definitely recommend Canine scholars. Chris happens to own a GSP who is Molly's age. The two of them are great friends and still love playing together to this day!read more

We signed up for the 1 week board and train with Jason for our 1.5 year old GSP pup. She is Super friendly so we were... looking for jumping on people and other small obedience training, help on walk pulls, and the biggest of all-off the leash training. We were skeptical of the short time and the cost at times when choosing between companies, but Jason is hard not to trust and like. When we picked her up at a public park on Sunday afternoon we were super impressed. She was all we hoped for and it just got better when we took her to our property up north and could trust her off leash running through woods, lakes and to free roam! We could really enjoy her there and since then while hiking locally and running her on bikes, and I swear everyone kept saying what an amazing dog she was! Which trust me, 2 weeks earlier was not something we heard a lot. Thanks Jason! Very much recommend.read more

My highest recommendation! Canine Scholars has been life changing! Our 1 year old and 100-pound black lab was a loving dog... but also a pain in the neck. He jumped on and scratched our guests, yanked us down the street during walks, and demanded attention. Each lesson brings us a better-behaved dog. Our friends have marveled at how he greets them without unwanted heavy and scratchy affection. He’s even stopped peeing when greeting new guests! We can now walk down the street with him walking beside us and matching our speed. Our 100 pounds of terror has turned into a valued member of the family!read more

I adopted an adorable 3.5 year old Husky/Black Lab mix in July. He is a sweet and playful pup, but his size and strength was... too much for me to handle. He would jump on people, lunge at other dogs as we walked by and bark constantly. He was training me, rather than the other way around. I was nervous to take him anywhere in public, because I didn't know how he would react. After trying a few other training programs, with no luck, I found Canine Scholars. Jason and Chris helped transform him into such well behaved pup, with only a few sessions! I feel comfortable taking him out in public because I know I can control him. Thank you for giving me the tools to continue training my dog so we can have a wonderful life together! Danielle and Woodsonread more

We have an almost 10 month golden retriever pup who is a sweetheart but was getting completely out of control. He weighs 65... pounds and would pull me down the stairs to the point that I would almost fall, yank me around the block, lunge at other dogs to play, jump all over people that walked into the door and run around our house with our belongings like a maniac. We weren't sure what, if anything could fix it. We've had four lessons now and the difference is hard to believe. He doesn't pull the leash and will sit on his bed (or any assigned place) until I give him permission to leave, even when new people walk through the door. He comes when he's called and we're even working on being off-leash in crowded places. It makes every experience more enjoyable for us and our pup! Jason and Chris taught our pup so much but most importantly he taught us the concepts and gave us the tools we need to understand the way our dog thinks and how to act accordingly. We can't thank them enough 🙂 - Mac, Megan & Mattread more

Canine Scholars has made such a HUGE difference in our family. We had tried a few other dog training courses around... Charlotte but couldn't find the results we were looking for. Canine Scholars stepped right in and made an immediate impact. During our first interaction with Jason I could tell that we had found the trainer we were looking for. My 2 dogs were notorious leash pullers, barked at everything that moved and were just a handful. Today I am proud to say that we can enjoy off leash walks, sitting in the yard, and having guests over without having to fear what our dogs may do wrong. Not only has he helped them become more obedient, but he has also increased their confidence in knowing how great they really are. Don't make the same mistake I did and wait too long to call Jason. Not only did he train our dogs , he also trained us. I never realized the mistakes we were making had such great impact on our dogs, but after a few sessions I realized that the potential was there the whole time. He is worth every penny, and if I had the chance to choose to do it all over again then I would in a heartbeat. Thanks Jason!!!read more

We hired Canine Scholars because we felt that our two young male dogs were completely out of control. They would run from us... at any chance given, jump on our guests, and would not obey commands with any distractions present.After just ONE visit with Jason from Canine Scholars, we saw an immediate change in both our dogs and our interaction with our dogs. In only FOUR visits, our dogs were already obeying us off-leash. I appreciate and learned quickly that CS wasn't just training out dogs, but was actually training US as well - specifically, how to interact with our dogs to keep their attention and control.Today, our dogs are completely off-leash. We can take them walking for miles around the neighborhood or to public places without worry of them running off. They, by command, are completely aware of the times they are allowed to run free, but respond immediately to return or stay commands.We absolutely recommend CS!!!!!! Thank you!read more

Wonderful experience! Our 70 lb labradoodle had gone through puppy school and e-collar training in our previous city. ... After our daughter came along 18 months ago, we became too slack with our obedience/consistency with him. Jason was super helpful over the phone and even gave me suggestions to try before he came out for the first visit. He set us up with a single session to start and to call him back as needed. I really appreciated the honesty and that he wasn't trying to get us to sign on for 10 sessions or something like that front. We would absolutely recommend Canine Scholars to anyone looking for a trainer!!!read more

From Dennis’ Wife: I needed my 2.5 year old black lab, Grace, trained as an Emotional Support Dog to assist me in upcoming... travels. I found Jason’s web site and contacted him. He came to our house, evaluated her and laid out a plan of action. Grace began training with a crash course by staying with Jason 24/7 for 8 days. He taught her how to behave in crowds (Grace loves everyone, especially children, so this was no small feat), even how to ride an escalator! Next, he trained me to handle her. We went to the airport repeatedly, to the mall a couple of times – until I was confident. Jason did whatever it took and made me comfortable every step of the way. The payoff came when Grace sat at my feet in the airplane, for two flights, totaling over 1,700 miles to the Republic of Panama! Then came Customs, a stay in a Panama City hotel that normally refuses dogs, and Grace was able to do her job at every step along the way. Thanks Jason!read more

Canine Scholars has simply changed my life. I rescued a 180 pound, aggressive, anxious, terrified Great Dane on May 20,... 2010. I fell in love with him immediately. And almost just as quickly, he bit one of my neighbors. I called dozens of trainers who offered different packages,different training styles, and different results. Jason was the ONLY one who was honest, confident, and genuinely cared about both me and Guinness. We had a total of 4 training sessions. And my dog is absolutely a different animal. He is well behaved on and off of a leash. He instinctively knows what is expected of him in any circumstance and enjoys having me as his master. I recommend Jason to everyone. He has changed my life. He has given my dog a second chance. And I know that any pet that I ever have in the future will work with Jason. I could never thank him enough for bringing me such peace of mind and such happiness. I would recommend that anyone who wants a well behaved, trained companion call Canine Scholars immediately!!!read more

Jason has been a godsend in helping us train our two dogs. Carley who we got from the shelter was a very hyper dog who... jumped on everybody! Whose previous owners returned her to the shelter because they could not handle her. After our training sessions she is such a different dog. She is calm, listens to commands and has become such a happier dog! Our vet even commented on what a difference our training has made! All thanks to Jason. We have begun training our puppy Simon and he is following all command walking on the leash has improved tremendously and I cant wait to see how he does on our next visit!. Not only had Jason done a fantastic job with our dogs he has also done such a great job in training both myself and my husband! I would highly recommend Canine Scholars!read more
