Training Dog Trainers

As a student in the Animal Behavior College working to become a certified dog trainer I had the opportunity to work directly with Jeff, as well as Tyler, during my externship with ABC.  While the course work at ABC gave me a broad framework about the industry and some proven training methods, the time spent with Jeff and his LTL trainers was invaluable to me as a student.  Jeff’s ability to observe, diagnose and offer his expertise to dog owners was exceptional.  More importantly, Jeff took the time to help me understand the “WHST” (Why, How, Show Try) as he worked with both myself and his customers.  I was able to both observe and participate during appointments with a diverse number of dogs, owners and issues, some quite serious others basic but equally important to the owners and their animals.  His knowledge and understanding of several different approaches to training has allowed him to develop a style that dogs both understand and respond to via three different forms of communication using verbal, hand signals and body language. If you are an experienced trainer looking to improve upon your current skill set or a novice like me just breaking into the industry, I would strongly recommend Jeff and his team at Leading the Leash to help you further advance your career in the industry.
