Stay and train, day training, private lessons and puppy raising.
What was once my dog who was the worst one to walk, is now my favorite one to take on strolls.
I'm Jason. I was mentored by a team of experienced trainers who took me in and taught me hands on, every day. I got to take protection dogs from day one all the way to the day they went home, and show their owners how to work with them. I also taught obedience for board and train dogs, ran obstacle classes and group classes, worked on fetching and tricks, introduced nose work, and led private lessons and evaluations. I've worked with almost every kind of dog, from puppies and family pets to behavioral and aggressive cases, including holding tough dogs for the groomer and bather. One dog used to bite its owner and now walks calmly on leash. Another used to lunge at every passing car and now walks right by them. Consistency and praise. Results that stick. Your dog's transformation starts the day we meet. Book an evaluation and see it for yourself.
REVIEWS
“My 50lb lab, hound mix was pulling me so hard on our walks that I got a frozen shoulder! After our first session with Jason @ K9 Connections the pulling stopped! Our walks became fun and enjoyable.”
“We have really enjoyed working with Jason. … The best part is that he also supports us in the training process by giving techniques to use at home. Jason loves what he does and you can tell!”

FAQ
Ears perked? Here are the answers.
Your dog learns what earns my praise and what isn't okay, taught calmly and fairly, so they listen because they understand you, not because they see a treat. At your evaluation I'll show you exactly how I'd work with your pup.
I always recommend at least three weeks. That gives your dog time to practice in real places, and we'll pick the right length together at your evaluation.
That's the plan. I teach you everything in your go home and follow up lessons, so the good habits stick.
Most families see calmer walks and better listening within the first week. At your evaluation I'll tell you what to expect for your pup.
Absolutely. I'll keep you in the loop the whole way.
I'll get back to you ASAP. If it takes a minute, I'm outside waiting on a dog to find the perfect spot.
