 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well i just want to start by saying that im more than impressed with the work that the trainer did. Before I had sent him off to be trained, we couldn’t have him indoors at all. But now, after his training and all, he listens as soon as I tell him to sit, stay, walk alongside me, etc etc. for anyone looking to get their pet trained, I recommend this trainer 100%.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake was absolutely phenomenal to work with. His responsiveness and professionalism is top notch! Regarding the training, our puppy came back completely trained; the difference between before and after is remarkable. The dog is listens and is responsive to all commands. The puppy can go anywhere you want him to go while completely following your instructions while off leach. Inside the house with visitors and company the dog is respectful of boundaries and is very well mannered.
I can't say enough about this training that Jake offers and I would recommend it to anyone who would like their dog trained.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake trained our 9 month old Golden Retriever. He worked with us on a start date, had clear communication, and did a great job training our girl. She came back not jumping on people, about to go on a calm walk off leash, and she had a much calmer presence thanks to Jake. Highly recommended

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s been less than 2 weeks since we got Quill back from Jake and the results have been amazing!! He still has his fun sweet personality but now he is focused and disciplined! We highly recommend Anvil for training!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My giant schnauzer puppy was very high strung at times with jumping and “play biting” (with his big sis especially) and we thought getting him trained could help. Jake was more than amazing. In the 3 weeks of time he was there, Brunson came home very obedient and still the same playful 90lb 8month old puppy but without the biting and jumping. Jake worked on teaching Brunson the basics but by doing that it helped with so much more than just that. Now I don’t have to worry about my giant puppy not listening when we go on outings or our eventual first vacation. I’m going to be honest and I definitely recommend Jake at Anvil K9 dog training for helping you and your dog bond better with you being in control, but I do also recommend Jake work on cleaning the pups before they re-unite with their owner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake did a wonderful job with our dog LuLu. She is a big personality and he did a great job working with both our family and her. Without Jake's training, our family could not take her with us on walks or hikes, and the kids could not walk her. Now, she comes with us everywhere and my trust in her has grown exponentially. For me as a mom and a dog mom, having Jake's training and support ultimately reduced my stress and has remade daily life into routines I can actually enjoy. His pricing is fair for all he does for the dog and you, and I only wish I would have engaged Jake sooner!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jake is an expert and his training tips for 2 eight week old puppies were a lifesaver. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
