We sent our miniature golden doodle, Ollie, to Joe last year. He is a difficult dog with a strong will and desire to control. Joe worked wonders with him, and we are so thankful for the training we received. Not only that, but Joe is a nice person to work with, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him in the process. I can’t recommend Joe and his services enough. It is well worth the investment!

I had a very aggressive dog. To the point where I had to take him to my bedroom when I had guests. It was so bad that he started hitting the door to try to get out. I took him to Joe and he had him for 45 days for his aggressive package. My dog is like a completely different dog. I can now have guests and my dog stays in place for the duration the guests come over. I can walk him with no muzzle around town and he doesn't growl or bark at all. It is insane what Joe was able to do in the short time he had my dog. I recommend Joe to ANYONE who might have an aggressive dog.

Highly recommend Joe with Stronghold K9 to train your dogs! We have 2 Australian shepherds (full size 6f and mini 7m) that needed some additional training and we did not know where to start. One of our main concerns were the dogs barking and storming the front door when we would get a mail delivery. The female Aussie seemed the most aggressive in those situations. With the help of Joe’s e-collar training program, he gave our dogs structure as well as taught them how to walk off leash. This has helped our dogs relax when new people come to our house and also when we get mail deliveries. They have learned several commands, but the most helpful one I think is the “place” command. Joe taught us how to use the commands and was very helpful and patient when we had questions. We had a few follow up training sessions after the program and our dogs continued to improve more each time. Joe is very knowledgeably and takes pride in what he does, and it shows through the training of our dogs.

Oh my, I could write a book. Joe is awesome! He is to the point, honest and a phenomenal trainer. I took my 10 yr old service dog to him. She was attacked on two seperate occasions by dogs in public areas that their owners took off their leash. (Leash required areas) After which she could not get past trying to protect me from anything with a face. And nolonger trusted or listened to me. She now ruled my house and couldn't do her service, unless I was home with her. I became her prisoner, she barked incessantly at anything!
Joe told me it was real iffy, weather he could help, do to her age. He said he'd try. He had her for 40 days...
Well I have my house, and my life back. I can take her anywhere again. No more crazy barking or nervousness. She was going crazy because of stormes too...no more. She was on meds from the vet for anxiety also, he got her off them also. She doesn't need them now. Oh yea, he had to train me too... Thank you sooooo much Joe for giving my dog my husband and I our freedom back. Joe is so worth what he charges.

Best training we’ve had! Joe did leash and E-collar training with our pup Scout. Scout is a handful and joe was able to train Scout while still allowing him to have his quirky personality. Joe is incredible and Scout LOVES him! We will be back for all training and boarding needs!
