Cincinnati Dog Training Testimonials200 five-star reviews, from brand new puppies to the dogs everyone else gave up on.
“Joe is such a blessing to our family! He has brought a wealth of knowledge in dog psychology to our training sessions. ”
— Candice McAfee
“My intention in hiring Joe was to help with basic obedience for a new puppy that we adopted. Not only has the training been FANTASTIC for the new puppy, but also for my senior dog who I was convinced was too set in her ways to be open to training. Traditionally my older dog Scout pulled on the leash, was reactive to dogs when we were out walking but with Joe’s techniques and in just two sessions I have BOTH dogs walking really well on the leash. It doesn’t matter what age your dog is, Joe can get them to where they need to be!”
- Andi Dough“Working with Joe has completely transformed our dog’s disposition. Before training, our pup was anxious and reactive—but now, he’s calm, content, and genuinely happy.”

From brand new puppies to the dogs everyone else gave up on, and every one of them a five-star story. Real dogs. Real homes across Cincinnati. Real change you can read for yourself.
“After our first 2 sessions with Joe, our 8 month old fox red lab is like a new dog! All my kids call him “the dog whisperer”. We highly recommend him and his training techniques!”
— Lara Cegala-Williams“Joe is very personable and has excellent teaching skills! Very professional yet creates a casual atmosphere. Joe loves animals (and our dog) and works for success for both your animal and you! ”
— Lucy“After just one session with Joe, I noticed an incredible difference. Walks became enjoyable again, and with each lesson my dog’s confidence, obedience, and off-leash skills continued to improve.”
— Samantha Harnack
Before. After. Videos.
These are real videos of my clients showing real results, and often in one session. But watch the person holding the leash, too. That’s the part I teach.

Dog Walking Before Training
This is what happens when you stop guessing and start understanding what your dog needs. Chance is six months old. He's never been on a walk. Not pulling ahead, not excited, just frozen. Resisting. No idea what to do. His owner is gently trying to move a puppy who's completely overwhelmed (sound familiar?). Not a sad video. A starting line.

Dog Walking After Training
Same dog. Same leash. After working with me. Chance used to freeze on walks. Now he's walking, prancing, finally draining all that energy he'd been holding onto. Calm. Balanced. Like someone lifted a weight off his shoulders (and off his owner's, too). This is the happy part.
PS: Note how much the behavior of the owner affects the speed of learning.
The walk finally clicks. Everything starts to feel different.
Dave learned how to get the loose-leash walk he's always wanted, and now he's putting it to work on real streets, through crossings, distractions, and those moments when his dog loses focus. He's not waiting for his dog to behave. He knows what to do. And that's why Dave is officially a member of the Loose Leash Club.
