Shute Balanced Dog Training

I can't recommend Jason enough! I've had dogs my whole life but just seeing him for a short one-on-one consultation, his help that he provided to me about raising my puppy was not only transformational but it was also super simple and incredibly effective! Overall, if you bring your dog to him he has an awesome approach worth hearing, which results in both happier dogs and happier humans.

Jason is absolutely an amazing trainer. He actually teaches you how to train your dog and gives you all the tools you need to have an amazing relationship with your dog. We had a lot of trouble when we first got our pup and everyone has "advise" and "opinions" it wasn't until we went to Jason that we were really able to understand and connect with our dog and it has made everyones life happier. We still use Jason for little issues and tips as our lives change and our dogs life changes. Would recommend to anyone. 10/10

Did Jason's training classes with our dog. They were phenomenal. He trains both you and the dog - and both are equally important. We also brought Jason in for some additional 1-on-1 training because we wanted to have off-leash control and recall and the tools and guidance worked beyond my expectations. Can't recommend enough.

Jason's approach to training is both professional and relaxed and he is able to put both the dog and their human at ease while working through challenging issues. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he has a genuine passion for what he does and a love for dogs that shines through with every interaction. He has helped me on numerous occasions with my dog, both through private training, as well as most recently, through his novice training class. He has helped me develop the tools and knowledge to work through a variety of behaviours ranging from extreme separation anxiety, leash reactivity/pulling, as well as training obedience through hand/foot/voice commands. Training with Jason has made my bond with my dog even stronger than it was before and I highly recommend his training/expertise to anyone who wants to learn how to enrich both their life and experience with their dog.

Hands down 5 stars! Jason's training methods and his approach to teaching is amazing. He has such a vast wealth of knowledge and shares it in a simple, straight-forward way. I took both his Novice and Intermediate courses and they were the best investment I could have made for myself and my dog. It has strengthened my bond with my dog and taken our relationship to whole new level of understanding. Moving forward I am grateful for all the tools I have in my toolbox and I'm eager to sharpen those skills as I continue training. Taking the obedience courses and the daily homework from class was a lifesaver for us with a new (re-homed) puppy in the house, especially one with such high energy demands. He needed a job and Jason's courses provided us with exactly that. The first course is tough, but essential to lay all the groundwork. The second course was awesome and just a ton of fun. If you do your homework, you will reap the benefits over and over again. It was a pleasure to work with Jason and I highly recommend taking his courses.
