- Nail trims are basically impossible.
- He just can't seem to relax.
- I can't leave the house without her crying.
- I have to ask him five times before he does anything.

“Jacob has made such a difference for Hoho and for us. He’s given us practical tools and a much better understanding of what Hoho needs and how we can support her. We already feel more confident, and most importantly, we’re learning how to help make her life happier and her world a little bigger.”

Hi, I’m Jacob.
I'm a positive reinforcement dog trainer based in Sherwood, Oregon.
Dogs are a massive part of my world, even when I’m not working, so I spend a lot of time learning more about why they do what they do and how we can better help them.
I have a soft spot for dogs who need a little extra support building confidence. I also really enjoy helping people understand their dogs better and figuring out ways to make life together easier.
We’ll figure out what your dog needs, then come up with a plan that fits realistically into your life. From there, we’ll work on things at a pace that makes sense for you and your dog.
You’ll have support between sessions too. If you have a question or something isn’t going as planned, you can text me and we’ll figure it out. I’ll also give you resources to make it easier to keep working on things at home.
If you think I might be a good fit for you and your dog, I’d be happy to hear about what’s going on.
