Kat of San Jose says:

“I did a lot of research when it came time to pick a dog trainer, almost the same amount if you were to pick a school for your child. Spoke to some by phone and event met a few. I was looking for a trainer that would take into consideration my schedule, what I needed to work on first and one that was not treat based. I am completely beyond satisfied with Jas. In 5 weeks my 14 month old Rottweiler/coonhound was listening to me at the dog park! I am confident around other dogs, people, and kids that my dog will not be a liability. I am excited to start schutzhund training with Jas so I bought another package of privates,and regularly attended his meet-up groups. Jas is a great trainer with any breed and age dog and can explain everything so I can understand. Well worth the money and time”.

Jim of Santa Clara says:

“We have been meeting with jas for four weeks and our doberman is doing great.  Our pupppy is 6 months old and we need to have him under control as he will get to about 100 pounds. He now listens to us and can be left off leash for long periods of time without running off. We still have some work to do and our dog seems to like the discipline. As Jas would say it’s all about how much time and effort you put into it. Sorry Jas we don’t do much homework but Max still remembers everything from our lessons.It’s great having a well behaved dog at the dog park. Thanks Jas”

Deb and Frank of Morgan Hill says:

“My Nabby is a 10 month old German Shepherd who got big fast and controlling him was a chore. Going for a simple walk was a battle. We contacted California Canine Solutions and Nabby is a different dog, Nabby immediately responded to Jas, (it turned out that I was the one who needed the training). We took him for the first time to Petco and he was the most popular/best behaved dog in the store, yep my dog! Jas Leverette’s is amazing, fun & knowledgeable dog/people trainer. Watching Jas train other dogs at the meetup classes made us want more and we will definitely sign Nabby up to continue his training.We look forward to starting protection training with Jas. We highly recommend California Canine Solutions”

Liz of Pleasanton says:

“Jas has made a miracle happen in our family. My little boy was diagnosed with Arthritis, and we thought we were going to have to get rid of our Mastiff (who was only 3months old, and out of control. She loved to knock our son over every chance she got). I received word of this amazing trainer and thought we would give Jas a try ( he was our only chance to keep the dog our family grew to love in a short time). I am pleased to tell you that Jas has trained our dog to be in control and to avoid our son so as not to injure him. Jas has even had a few private sessions with my son so that he can control the dog verbally without having to handle the dog at all. Our dog weighs more than double our son, and to see this little boy control a dog that size is a miracle in itself. Jas is not only very professional, you can tell he cares about the animals and his clients. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone.”

Sabrina of San Jose says:

“When we started training with Jas, we were very concerned about our 1 1/2 year old Cane Corso Dino. He was anxious, dog aggressive, and had recently started to become fear aggressive with people. Jas worked with us in private and in group training on socialization and behavior modification. I am so happy to report that Dino is a changed dog. He can be around all breeds of dogs and stay focused on his handler. He has learned better ways to deal with his anxieties which do not involve acting in an aggresive manner. I can walk him anywhere and not worry about how he will behave. It is such a relief to have a more balanced, happy dog. Thank you so much Jas!”

Eric of San Jose says :

“California Canine Solutions is for real; this is no B.S. dog training like at pet smart. If you want to establish proper handling techniques, then look no further. I swear Ceaser Milan and this guy were in the same class but this guy ate his Wheaties. The first class I left with way more confidence in handling my dog and buy this my dog respects me way more. We are at month 3 and I have a badass completely obedient 1.5-year-old fully intact male German Shepherd ready to compete in Shutzhund. Bottom line if you dedicate yourself, Jas will definitely accomplish any goals you have for you and your pet”

Kate of Oakland says:

“Jas is an incredible trainer. We have a one year old pup with little training and a lot of energy. Jas knows how to take the energy so that the dog wants to work, and his work is listening to you, fetching, sitting, not barking, walking with a leash, without one, whatever you say to do! He has helped our relationship with our dog flourish to a healthy, beautiful level. Jas is an advanced trainer for the right price, no one will be disappointed. I would highly recommend him for any dog and any owner”.

Marc of Santa Cruz says:

“I didn’t think anyone could train our one-year-old pup. Herc was overly-protective, out of control and wouldn’t respond to anything. Then, I met Jas Leverette of California Canine Solutions and was amazed at how quickly he turned our dog around. Herc is not the same dog anymore and he’s a joy to be around, thanks to Jas’ unique training techniques. Jas taught us how to work with him on a daily basis and he educated us about his instincts, psychology and behavior. We know so much more about him and why he acts the way he does. He obeys our commands and is always eager to please us! I highly recommend Jas and his methods to anyone who wants to train their dog the right way. The cost was well worth it because the sessions were private and Jas spent quality time with us. I’m more than satisfied and I’ve been referring all my friends to him”.

Rachelle of Aptos says:

“If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, knowledgeable dog trainer, look no further! I’m really impressed with the work Jas Leverette has been doing with my new French bulldog/pit-bull pound puppy. His fees are very reasonable and the services he provides are priceless. I highly recommend him if your dog needs any kind of training”.

Austin of Bellevue WA says: “

“Thanks to Jas Leverette’s amazing training techniques, my dog has undergone a miraculous turnaround in both attitude and performance. I can take him anywhere now and he responds immediately to my commands, both on and off leash”.

J. Wright, president of Alameda County Schutzhund Club says:

“A  BIG Thanks for all the time and energy you spent with me and my competition GSD, Haden. Haden and I are so grateful for excellent helper work you did for use in preparation for the 2009 GSD Nationals. I am especially thankful for how you were willing to go out of your way help when it was needed most.Huge Thanks Once Again”

Mike of Richmond  says :

“I was amazed at how after 1 day of training, my dog’s obedience is far greater. Although my expectations were high, the training has exceeded my expectations. The techniques are taught in an easy and comprehensible manner and highlight the common mistakes dog owners make. I appreciate the one on one lessons provided in the environment where my dog is familiar and most comfortable, his home. This provides a platform for success and is extremely convenient. I like that the training course is set up to increase my dogs obedience level, so that he will be obedient even in environments that present multiple distractions. I look forward to continuing my training sessions and improving my dog’s behavior, so that he can reach his full potential and be a display of which I can be proud and not embarrassed. I highly recommend California Canine Solution to any dog owner looking to drastically improve his or her dog’s behavior. At around 140lbs and still growing, my dog is a specimen of brute power and size and is also not neutered, yet I feel confident that in the immediate future, with the help of California Canine Solutions, I will be able to take him off leash anywhere and not worry about liability”.

Andrew of San Fransisco says:

“My dog went from being completely disobedient, scared and stubborn to happier and more cooperative than ever thanks to California Canine Solutions. My dog is a rescue pug from San Francisco that experienced a lot of abuse. I was able to adopt this precious little pug but she did come with a lot of baggage: she didn’t trust strangers – especially tall men – and would bark at and even bite my guests, she would constantly wet the rug (or bed when I tried to allow her to next to me), and also I could not get her to stop eating strait from the trash! All of those things now are problems of the past. Working with Jas Leverette helped me not only to understand how to retrain my dogs behavior and maintain it, but also how important it is for a pet to have a stricter and more consistent lifestyle. I can’t speak for my pug, but I can feel that she has much higher spirits since our training sessions than she had when we first met. No more biting or peeing on rugs and a lot more trust. Thanks”

Rebecca of San Jose says:

“An excellent chance to meet other owners and their pets! Jas is thorough in his teachings, and really takes the time to connect with each and every owner”.

Max of Santa Cruz says:

“Jas is best trainer I have found yet. I am excited to work with Lola with his help”.

Sarah of Santa Cruz says:

“Jas is hands down the best dog trainer I have found for my dog. I have a 5 and a half month old blue heeler puppy that has progressed so much in the time I have worked with Jas. He has been straightforward and easy to deal with and has given me all the tools i need to make my working breed dog work for me! I am excited to continue working with Jas on my dogs obedience and continue on to Shutzhund. Thanks Jas!”

Danny of Fremont says:

“Santo is a 9 month old 120+lb. Cane Corso. With those stats training is a must. Jas’s obedience techniques have proven to be effective and invaluable”.

Shayna of Monterey says: “

“We had a great time at this meet-up! Jas is very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. We learned more about our dog and about how to improve our training techniques as well as tips on being consistent. We look forward to starting protection training with Jas and our German Shepherd Dino. It was definitely worth the hour drive from Monterey”

Rebecca of San Jose says:

“The session is great. Very informative. We have been to a trainer before but did not get the result we wanted I think its because she doesn’t understand dog psychology. Jas on the another hand gets dogs & understand correction & positive reinforcement. He is clear on everything & is very helpful. We are definitely gonna sign up for his class”.

Jon of Fremont says:

“Jas is very knowledgeable and has been extremely reliable and flexible to my schedule. I particularly appreciate that he teaches dog owners to actually act as trainers themselves by explaining dog psychology in a way that makes sense and has allowed me to identify and understand past communication mistakes with my dog. I have gone through an initial evaluation, 3 Lessons and have 7 lessons remaining. Thus far, each lesson has exceeded my expectation and I am very pleased with my dog’s progress. I would highly recommend California Canine Solution to anyone on a budget and looking to accomplish a better relationship and successful first command obedience results with his or her dog”. Thanks Jas, and Bubba and I will see you this Saturday.”

Theresa of Sunnyvale says:

“Rosco is 1 year old now; we’re not sure on the exact date of birth but know it was in February. For his birthday we got him a trainer. He has only had one session of the five but has already started to respond. Jas (the trainer) not only trains Rosco to respect us but teaches us how to work with him as well. He even had our 6 year old get involved. I love this concept because we want Rosco to see us as leaders and he needs to listen all of the time and not only when he sees Jas. My husband has never had a trained/obedient dog before and has learned so much on establishing his rank in our family. You can see the pride in his face when he is able to work with Rosco with confidence and not frustration. We are excited to see the change in Rosco thus far. He has some work to do but I am convince that they will be worked out by the end of the training.”

Jocob of El Cerrito says:

“My dog is 11 years old an literally within the first lesson Kobe was responding to the training. I appreciate the planed approach taking into account my schedule and the style of person I am. Thank you for the training and the friendship that has developed.”

Audra of San Jose says:

“I have a male, 4 year old pit-bull that became dog aggressive. I tried one trainer that “talked” to me about how my dog was feeling…. Then I found Jas! We just had our 3rd private and not only did my dog not react to any nearby dogs in the dog park, he stayed on a down next to one of Jas’ dogs while we walked about 50 yards away – not only did he stay but he didn’t try to eat another dog! AMAZING!!! My dog really responds well to Jas and I felt super comfortable – even when I knew my dog wouldn’t behave – he gave me the confidence to trust myself to handle my dog in any situation! Can’t wait to see the end result!”

Roxan of San Jose says:

“This was my first class with Jas and he really did live up to his reputation. He was personable, very attentive with all the dogs and owners, and gave specific attention to my dogs breed and temperament while giving training instructions. I have taken a few classes with a Petco trainer and did not get nearly as far in 4 weeks with them as I did in this one training session with Jas! We will definitely be back next week! Thank you so much Jas! ”
