A few years back, I was a cat-lover and my son was terrified of dogs, but my husband wanted nothing more than to own a Chocolate Labrador Retriever.  I could not fathom EVER owning a dog, especially a big dog, until meeting James Hamm.

 

We watched the amazing results he provided while training our neighbors dog and were sold on his ability.  After discussing with James my reservations about getting a puppy, he suggested rescuing an older Lab and assured us that he could train it and that we would fall in love.  We decided to take a chance and hire James to find and train the next member of our family.  Within a few days he had found a 4 year-old Chocolate Lab rescue that his intuition told him would be an amazing addition to our family.  Gunner was his name and James began working with him immediately.  

 

Two weeks later, James called and said Gunner was ready to come home.  When they arrived, we were struck by how handsome and calm Gunner was.  James had trained Gunner, now it was our turn.    James worked diligently and patiently teaching my whole family how to work with Gunner and the e-collar.  James even took the time to ensure that I was confident in my ability to be assertive and a leader, many other trainers do not take the time to do this.  His knowledge and confidence were also integral parts of my son overcoming his fear of dogs and learning the proper way to interact with Gunner.  Being a family man, James worked well with our son and recognized the importance of making sure Gunner was going to be good with kids.  

 

 Fast forward three years we are all head over heels in love with the big Chocolate teddy bear that is Gunner.  My son has ZERO fear of dogs (he and Gunner are best buddies now) and I in fact have become quite the dog-lover!!  So much so that we even decided to add a new puppy to our pack!  Without James talent as a dog trainer (and people trainer too), our family would have still been missing out on the absolute JOY that comes with having dogs as part of our family.  We highly recommend James and his training to anyone looking for a dog trainer.  He will work so hard with you to develop your dog into the dog of your dreams, just as he did for us!  

 

Thanks,
