This has been the most amazing tool for our new puppy. Worth every penny. It especially helped our dog get over her fear of water, and bringing harmony into our home introducing a new puppy and our older cat.

My first impression of Jimi came from my daughter, as she was working at Scottsdale Fashion Square and this wonderful man came into her store with an Airedale off leash and my daughter was so impressed! We knew from what she said that our future puppy would need this man to help train him. So we finally found him- THE DOG GURU. We got our puppy about a month ago and we are under Jimi’s guidance in his training methods. From day one, our whole family has been in awe of the knowledge and love he has for dogs. We are so excited to continue with him. If you are in need of training, you will not go wrong with Jimi. No nonsense, all common sense and what is best for the dog…

Any owner who wants what is best for their dog should call Jimi without any hesitation. We had a traumatic event between our two dogs and Jimi time for us to make our home safe and provide us with options. There is no doubt that he is an expert in the field and the best out there. There is something to be said about an amazing dog trainer is willing to drop what they are doing and come when needed (he has done this for us twice already!). Also, you can count on him to answer any questions you have and get back to you very quickly. Jimi really is the best of the best and can tackle any severe dog situation you may have. He is pricey, but you also get what you pay for.

Jimi was referred to me by a good friend. Sending my one year old Weimaraner to him 5 years ago was the best decision I have ever made and the best money I ever spent! Freddy goes with me everywhere. He will lay on a restaurant patio while we eat dinner and lay at my feet on a plane. Wouldn’t be able to without Jimi’s expertise and love of dogs! And an added bonus once you’ve had your dog trained with Jimi, he will board them for you if you can’t travel with your dog. So I know he’s safe and in a familiar place getting a little bit of a refresher. A dog is your best friend and family member, don’t you want the best for him or her?!

I purchased the online interactive training program a few weeks after I got my Belgian malinois/Australian Shepherd puppy. He is now 22 weeks old and progressing his destructive behaviors that he had prior to purchasing the training has diminished. Every time I have had any questions or concerns even prior to purchasing program YDG has responded promptly within at least 24 hrs which is incredible considering they not only do hands on training at their main facility but also the online interactive training as well. I am very pleased with this online interactive training and I have learned many things about how I, as the dog owner, needed to change my approach to certain things as well. This program is not only for the dogs to learn but in order to be fully effective us owners need to be all in and open for change also. Since I purchased the program I have changed some things and it has resulted in nothing but positive things. My puppy is now better disciplined and trained than most dogs around here where I live which is impressive since he is only 22 weeks old. I absolutely recommend the dog guru and have shared my experience with my coworkers and friends but the most eye opening thing is that they all can see the difference in my puppy week by week! Thank you dog guru for all your help you have already provided me and my puppy we are excited to be a part of your program and are excited to continue progressing!
