My name is Craig, and I am the owner of Jager, a Doberman trained by James Hamm. I first brought Jager to see James as a 16 week old puppy - young, yes but very important.  At this age, Jager was a wild pup who would bite my feet, chew everything, and would howl nonstop while in his crate.

 

During the initial meeting, James showed me a technique that taught a dog to lie down and be calm - in less than 10 minutes this wild pup was laying down, being calm and I was sold.  Session after session, I grew more and more impressed as my wild pup grew into a well trained, obedient dog. At 16 months, Jager can do all the basics such as sit, stay, lay down, heel etc. In addition he can jump up and sit on almost any object of my choosing, my favorite being a bar stool. He can go up the stairs of a slide and slide down the other side. He can also fetch and retrieve. These are just a few of things he can do, but my favorite by far is that can catch a Frisbee on the run - yes, a Doberman that can catch a Frisbee.

 

James Hamm's professional, dedicated and humane training brought out skill and knowledge I never knew my dog had.  More than just training Jager; James gave me one on one training to continue to build on Jager's potential to learn new tricks - and the fact that I can call or email with questions anytime and get his expertise is invaluable.

 

If you have a dog that is in need of training, James Hamm is the guy to call!
