What people are saying:

When we rescued Chloe, all we knew is she was an unclaimed stray, that spent 9 months in an over-crowded shelter. She had no idea how to cohabitate with people. Jay returned my call promptly and spent significant time on the phone with me explaining some of Chloe's behaviors and giving me tips.

Chloe LOVES Mr. Jay and I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual. She now walks on a leash like a champ, comes when called, and rarely takes a nibble.

I very confidently recommend Jay for whatever issues you are having with your dog. Jay is kind, funny and genuinely loves animals.

We have (had 😏) a very reactive and anxious German shepherd. After just 5 training sessions, ALL of our concerns were handled. Jay was so pleasant to work with and we always looked forward to meeting with him. He genuinely cared about our concerns and made it easy for us to train her ourselves when he wasn’t around. He ended up building a wonderful relationship with our dog and gave us all the tools we need to continue to make progress. I feel like we have a brand new dog. We are so comfortable and confident with her now! Huge thanks to Jay!

-Taylor (Rex)

We highly recommend Jay! He was referred to us and I now know why
 We adopted a Pandemic Puppy from the shelter–while Matilda was truly sweet= we knew we needed some help. Jay was amazing- professional, knowledgeable, passionate and compassionate. He truly exceeds at his job- he is ethical and honest and has our best interest at heart. He might be the Buffalo dog whisperer:) Bonus- he is hilarious and super chill. Hire this guy if you want your pup to become well behaved.

I highly recommend Jay at Communicanine Behavior Modification! He helped us transform our counter-surfing, food snatching/dishwasher-obsessed dog into a well behaved dog who can walk nicely on a leash, and stay on his place board with distractions everywhere. Not only did he work with our dog, but he helped us to understand how to continue to work with him well after the lesson. I cannot believe the difference we've seen in just a few lessons and he listens SO much better!
