James is a great trainer. We have sent him a few rescues who needed a little bit of help. All of the dogs are now thriving in their forever homes!

Great experience and amazing trainers helping us with our rescue pup. Within the first session we already have made huge progress toward potty training and major wins with obedience and safety. Not only do you get tips/tools/progress but the team is so caring and wonderful.

I would highly recommend James and Pawcific Dog Academy to anyone looking for a dog trainer. His incredible understanding of how dogs communicate has really helped me connect with my dogs effectively.James has helped me so much with both of my dogs - Eleven, my XL Dobie mix who came from the shelter with fear-based reactivity, and Theo, who I rescued from a puppy. With or without pre-existing behavior issues, James plays a key role in helping my dogs live as calm, well-mannered, happy members of society.James really knows his stuff. If you're looking for someone who truly understands dog and owner behavior and teaches in a clear and empowering way, he's the one to go to.

worked with James on my shepherd / border collie mix since he was 9 mo and his whole team gave him the strongest foundations. I can’t say enough good things about the group trainings, a controlled group environment was crucial in my training.

I was invited to a free group training with James. I already knew my dog needed far more training than one class and James helped answered all my questions regarding the program. I am thrilled to start my dog training with him, and I appreciate the free class that convinced me to join.

Fantastic experience with Pawcific! Lady is a Malinois that James helped turn professional Service Dog. Lady loves them, I love them, you’ll love them.

I went to James with my new rescue German Shepherd having leash reactivity issues. James met with me and immediately provided an effective method to address the issue. I have been since attending beginners classes with my rescue and am very impressed with how James leads the class and works with each handler on their specific issues during class. Highly recommend this trainer and the class. Based on my experience I have also signed up both my dogs for boarding with Pawcific.
