Jarod has been surrounded by dogs his entire life. He currently has 2 dogs of his own and a ferret! He’s been training and working with animals for quite a while now, starting with his own dogs in 4H at the age of 8. Since then, he has been fortunate to work with animals in various professional capacities (see below). Now days, between being a self-employed trainer and his own pets at home, his life is dedicated to helping and caring for animals, and he wouldn’t have it any other way!
Training Philosophy
Jarod uses positive reinforcement, a method of training animals that is not about force or using the leash, but is fun for all, thoroughly modern and innovative, and aimed at creating the best bond between you and your pets possible. He doesn’t use any aversive tools… That means he will never intentionally inflict fear, anxiety, or stress on an animal. All he will need is a clicker (or another marker) and something your dog finds rewarding (whether that’s treats, toys, or attention) to teach your pet behaviors and skills to set them up for success!
