TESTIMONIALS

  • A close-up of a brown dog with a black nose and light brown eyes, standing outdoors on dirt ground with scattered dry grass, with a background of pine trees and a blue sky.

    "He was very thoughtful and communicative throughout the entire training program. He not only trained Tuna but gave us the training tools to implement at home, on walks, in public. He really partnered with us on our specific needs so it was truly personalized to us and our dog. There was a night and day difference with Tuna between the start of our training program and the end."

    "Jackson is an exceptional dog trainer. He is knowledgable, patient, responsive, and demonstrates a genuine care for our dog. The work he has done with our dog-- funnily also named Jackson- has dramatically improved the quality of his life, and ours."

    -Sarah

  • A dog with a white coat and black spots, standing on a large rock outdoors in a forested area, sticking out its tongue, with trees and other dogs in the background under a blue sky.

    "I recommend anyone to get their dog trained especially if you’re a professional like we are with limited time. Jackson is professional, kind, punctual, and very committed to his profession. 10 out of 10 experience!"

    -Zach

  • A beagle dog walking on a dirt trail in a forest with tall green pine trees and a clear blue sky in the background.

    "We cannot recommend Jackson enough! He’s organized, professional, but flexible. Kind, caring and generous. He’s really an expert at what he does and we felt well taken care of through the entire process. (And like we have a resource for Bairn’s entire life to support us through the challenges of having a hunting dog. 🐶)"

    Jackson has been an AMAZING asset to our family! We got our puppy at 4 months old and she needed a bit of training. She also needed an outlet for her puppy energy since she is a bigger breed that need exercise. After her 6 week training course she was a different dog! We decided to keep her enrolled in adventure dog days just so she could still spend time with Jackson and her dog friends.

    "Perhaps the most unique, and possibly most valuable, feature of Jackson's business model, is the inclusion of support to owners in the form of ongoing consultations/lessons at no extra charge for the life of the dog! That's an impressive commitment to success AND sustainability that again puts RunningWild Dogs & Co far ahead of the pack."

    "Jackson's expertise, patience, and personalized training approach have truly changed our lives. If you're struggling with a difficult dog, Jackson is the trainer you need. We are so grateful for the positive impact he's had on Indi and our entire family."

    "Jackson is the real deal. My dog loves him, he is responsible and good at communicating. My 2 year old dog went thru his 6 weeks course and is like a whole new dog now, I'm truly amazed at what he was able to accomplish. I can hike/mtb with my dog off leash and feel very comfortable doing so thanks to Jackson's training."
