  • *****

    Pure serendipity! It was a chance meeting with Jack. He and my husband shared a room in a post surgery rehab facility. My daily visits with Gussie set us up with a pup with greatly improved behavioral responses. Jack just plain gets dogs. He almost immediately had Gus walking better and jumping less. He made it so simple and specific that I have been able to carry on now that both men have headed home. Were surely grateful for the chance meeting and the delightful time we spent with Jack.

  • *****

    My dog responded immediately to Jacks training. Jack is intuitive and knows the needs of a dog. He shows care and follows up on the desired progress. I am grateful to work with him and recommend his services.

  • *****

    Jack is awesome! His 40 years of experience and genuine enthusiasm are evident in how our dog has responded and taken to his training. Highly recommend.

  • *****

    Jack changed my life. He helped me socialize my 150 pound Molossus, Medusa. She came to our family in early 2020 and I was unable to properly socialize her as a puppy with Covid restrictions. She was unsure with people, animals, etc. With Jack's training in 2023, Medusa is greeting people and is a completely confident dog..with a newly confident owner. Jack checks in with me regularly and is just a great, great guy.I feel so lucky to have found him!!

  • *****

    I have a reactive dog, especially when people come over. He is almost 3 and I have been to a few different training sessions. Ive spent all over $1000 in training and hes done well but has a lot of work. On top of that, I need training myself as I need to learn how to handle a GSD! Jack came over and within 5 min my reactive GSD WAS CALM! I couldnt believe it!! Call Jack for one stop training! I know I will if we need him again!

  • *****

    Jack was incredible to work with. He made training our two dogs, a 3 year old German Shepherd and 7 year old Aussie, simple, digestible and easy to understand. Not to mention, we saw immediate results. We highly recommend Jack and his style of training. Having gone through the class structured dog training, we much preferred Jacks one-on-one approach. He will tailor his methods to the specific needs of your dog(s) and if you follow through with his homework, you will absolutely get the results youre looking for. Jacks the best in the desert. Hands down.

  • *****

    I have a 1 year old Aussie and tried 2 other trainers for a few issues I hadn't been able to correct, with no real success. Literally 1 session with Jack gave me the tools I was missing and made a night and day difference with leash walking and my pup's reaction to other dogs. 4 more sessions provided additional tools. If I lived in the area I would be meeting with Jack every month or so. Walking her on a leash is now very enjoyable and no longer a tugging match or stopping every few steps (for leash pulling) for the entire walk (the stop every time she pulls method did not work for us). I can't thank you enough, Jack!!!

  • *****

    Jack is an awesome trainer! He is so helpful in understanding your pet and is always willing to give input. He is flexible with time and place and will help you train your dog to your liking. Very recommended

  • *****

    Could not be happier with the help and training I received from Jack! He is willing to train your dog to any skill level you would like and is very felxible with the scheduling. He is kind and funny. He went out of his way to make sure that my dog was trained properly and for a very great price. Would recommend him over anyone.

  • *****

    I was raised in a home with Labs and have had Golden Retrievers for the 50+ years since. After recently taking in a new 8 week old pup, I soon realized the training methods I have been using with success were just not connecting with this incredibly head strong alpha. Then I found Jack! After much observation and questioning he zeroed in on what the underlying problem was and why she did not want to accelerate into the most basic excercises as most pups do. One week later I have a ten week old girl who is responding with eye contact, enjoying brief training sessions, and most important enjoying the bond now being forged between us. A pup full of confidence to learn and have fun doing so. Jacks knowledge is unmatched as is his way to view a dog and take all his experience to identify behaviors with the modification needed in a positive way. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed and surely be amazed at the results as they unfold in front of you. Thank you Jack!

  • *****

    When I first called Mr. Jack Jagoda I have asked him how long would take each training session and he said until you get tired of me! right there I knew he was the right trainer and I was right!
    Mr. Jagoda is knowledgeable and has great techniques. He accommodate our life style into the training, and the in-home training definitely made a difference.
    I highly recommend Mr. Jagoda, he is awesome. Our adorable Mel (1 year old maltipo) loves him, her behavior have improved more than we were expecting. Mel is growing happy, safe and obedient.

  • *****

    Jack is the Greatest! After Hip surgery I needed to drive myself and my 2 "Do-Dads" (Shih Tzus) 7 1/2 hours back to Northern California. I have one rescue that was a handful on trips and I was gong to have to handle her by myself just weeks out of surgery.
    Jack came into our lives and in just 4 sessions she was in control and I had the confidence to handle the trip! He was amazing for both me AND my do-dads! The trip was good, and Kia has been great ever since.
    Thank You Jack!

  • *****

    Jack is the one! Jack is highly knowledge, compassionate and determined. He listens and watches dogs closely, providing excellent advanced training for both dog and human. My dog and I are a lot happier and have an even stronger bond.

  • *****

    I have two very stubborn, and unruly French Bulldogs. I found out about Jack through a coworker who was very happy with his services.
    Since he has helped my one year-old Frenchie walk on a leash perfectly, with no distractions and no pulling. He has also taught me some great techniques to work on his aggression.
    Its wonderful because now that I have a second fur baby, I am able to teach him from the beginning everything that I have learned.
    I am now done with my training, but it is nice that I can call or text Jack anytime for advice. Hes quick to respond, and very helpful I would definitely recommend him

  • *****

    Jack is an amazing trainer! He came highly recommended from a friend of mine. The results and behavior changes were immediate. Takes time to explain the science behind the training and is super flexible with schedule. We will be using him for any future needs with our dogs!

  • *****

    Getting our dog to obey is a difficult process for us. Frustration, anger, and disappointment was enough for us to want to give the new puppy away. Jack Jagoda and his training has been God sent. His observations and minor adjustments in "our" training has made a world of difference in our puppy and our lives. Thank you Jack. I recommend Jack and his methods wholeheartedly.

  • *****

    Jack is an excellent trainer with great dog communication skills. When he first met our skittish mixed-breed rescue pup, he took time to establish a relaxed rapport. After evaluating the needs, he suggested very appropriate ways to change behavior and reinforce the training program. An unexpected surprise was when Jack contacted us later to inquire about our progress. He then visited our home again to tweak and nail down our techniques.

  • *****

    Jack has an amazing talent for understanding dog behavior. He worked with my 6 year old rescue dog and more importantly me, to help us solve some behavior issues that I had unsuccessfully solved on my own.
    I highly recommend Jack, his calm approach to dog training is very effective!!

  • *****

    Our little puppy Kaia who is a pure bred Border Collie (6 1/2 months old at the time of training) was definitely displaying how intelligent he was and doing whatever he could to test his limits. From the second Jack arrived, we saw a complete paradigm shift in his demeanor and attitude toward us.

    At first we initially thought his methods were slightly unorthodox but as he explained to us, using the training choke chain collar, along with the leashes he provided would allow us to essentially speak Kaias language.

    We love Kaia to death, but we needed him to see us as the alpha in the group and listen to us.

    It has taken some time and things still are not at 100% but as Jack explained to us, its a work in progress that will take some time to fully master.

    Jack is an amazing trainer (Uncle Jack!) with tons of experience so I dont question his training and teaching one bit. He was also willing to stay however long it took to make sure that the concepts were learned by both Kaia and me and understood. This is something I really appreciated as he didnt simply look at his watch and say, Times Up! See you next week! He literally would stay until we were comfortable (sometimes almost 3 hours!). Thank you Jack!

    He also helped us introduce Kaia to our pool and showed us how to properly get him comfortable to be able to swim. In just one training session, we had Kaia in the pool happily swimming like hes done it all his life (with me covered in scratches of course, but happy he learned).

    Overall, we are pretty happy with the results (Kaia now comes every time I say Come! Well 95% of the time) and we are looking forward to his skills and attitude toward us to keep improving.

    In the future we would be happy to hire Jack again and would love to have him help teach Kaia some tricks. (Also need to schedule that barbecue!)

    Heres one trick to work on: Hey Kaia, bring me a drink from the fridge!

    Thanks again Jack, there are not many people like you left that have the work ethic, talent and spirit for dogs that you do. I, we (Kaia and everybody) appreciate everything. Thank you!

  • *****

    Thank you Jack for all your help to train and re-train our adult borzois and our border collie puppy recently. Your guidance and knowledge is so admirable and your generosity is very appreciated. I can't recommend this gentleman enough....... thanks again.

  • *****

    Thank you Jack ! You taught me how to understand how Lulu thinks. She was strong willed and hard to handle and now she is my perfect companion. You really do understand dogs and you're an excellent teacher, a true professional , and a very nice person.

    We have a 7 month old labrador retriever and need help, lots of it. In searching for a trainer, I wanted to find one with retriever experience. Jack Jagoda was the one I chose and was so thankful I did. On Jack's website he says he talks dog, and I believe him. The first time he had Cooper on a lead, he was a different dog. Cooper was 5.5 months when Jack started training with us, and now at 7 months we have a dog we can walk off leash with. We are in a dog park when we do, but he is heeling, even with other dogs to distract him. We still have a ways to go, but we are confident now, that with the training tips and lessons Jack has given us, we will have a beautifully trained dog. Jack is very conscientious about meeting your needs and with communications. He always lets you know by text when he is on his way to you. I highly recommend Jack for your training needs.

Make no mistake, it is hard to train a puppy, especially one as smart Cooper. So very glad we found Jack and that he was available as we were at a point of possible sending Cooper back to the breeder.
    I highly recommend Jack for your training needs.

    Jack's an Excellent Dog Trainer. We recently got a new puppy. He's a large breed alpha type that we wanted to get situated right away. Jack's personality and approach was perfect for us. He understood our dog from the moment they met and used the right approach that made a difference right away.

    I highly recommend Jack. His no nonsense approach is spot on and sorely missed with other trainers. We tried a couple of other trainers before Jack and both were not very good and no connection with our dog.

  • *****

    Jack is the absolute best! We have used other trainers, but never had success so quickly. We have two large breed dogs that did not consistently walk nicely on the leash. Within just a few sessions, Jack transformed our walking experiences. We couldn't be happier!

    From a scheduling standpoint, Jack is flexible, responsive and punctual. He ensures the training job is complete, and won't leave you disappointed. Can't say enough great things about Jack!

  • *****

    Jack and his methods came at just the right time. Our puppy was frustrating us to no end, with teething, biting, running away, etc. (all puppy behaviors). Jack came in and in one session adjusted our techniques so that the dog knew who was boss. Jack went away. We continued to do "our best", but the dog took control again. Again, we called Jack. Second session, and the dog is back in line. The training is for us, not as much for the dog. And boy, does it work. We are feeling grateful and appreciative of Jack and his words of wisdom. Thank you.

  • *****

    I have a French Bulldog Alfie who is very strong willed.
    I was having a tough time training him.
    Jack came over. He taught him how to walk correctly right by my side, no pulling, no barking at other dogs. We walk now every day and it's completely enjoyable. Alfie was also having a problem barking at house guests that came to the door.
    Jack took care of that in the first hour of meeting him. I also love that anytime I have a problem with my puppy he is willing to help. I just got a new puppy and I will definitely be using Jack's help again

    Jack is great. Seriously. We went thru one trainer before Jack and it was awful. After one training session with Jack, we knew he was the one for our dog. We have a large breed puppy right now and it's been important for us to set the right expectations for the dog and our family from the start. Jack's not going to sugar coat anything. He knows dogs and has been training them for years. Look him up, he's one of the most respected dog handlers and trainers out there. Definitely recommend.

    In December 2018, my wife and I adopted a 1 year old 50 pound black lab/pit bull mix from a shelter. Within 10 days it ran head first into my wife and shattered her knee. We realized quickly that we needed a professional dog trainer, and were lucky to find Jack Jagoda. Jack came to our home and worked with me since my wife was immobile. After four, that's right just FOUR two hour sessions, I was able to walk Pepper down our main street, on a leash of course, stopping at street intersections, with people and their dogs walking by and traffic going past. Jack was behind us giving guidance, but from a sweet but wild great big puppy to a manageable and wonderful household pet, it has been an incredible transition. Jack even came by for a free follow up session to be sure Pepper was behaving! We will always be thankful to Jack. My wife had knee surgery but she and Pepper are doing fine!

    If you’re looking for the best dog trainer in Palm Desert, go no further than where Jack Jagoda lives and trains dogs. He is the best trainer we ever encountered in California. My husband and I, and most importantly our puppy Zion appreciate and admire he’s work.

    Jack is THE BEST!!!!!! After trying everything under the sun to contain our anxiety ridden pit mix, she tore up all our wooden shutters in the house, I googled " dog therapists" and Jack's name was the first in line. I called him, he let me know he would meet my dog and evaluate the situation. He indicated he wouldn't waste my money or his time if we were not willing to be on the program with him. I immediately liked his honest approach! Hemet with us and our dog, was quick to analyze and evaluate the situation, took so much time talking to us about her anxiety and REALLY cared about finding resolve to our situation. After 4 sessions, I can honestly say we have a new dog. She is well behaved, more secure when we leave the house, has not destroyed anything and is able to walk by other dogs without going after them. We owe it all to Jack's patience, support and encouragement! He responded quickly to all our calls and texts, he was extremely flexible with time frames (we both work full time) and most importantly, made our interaction with our dog so very positive. The best lesson we learned was that he made us aware of our inconsistencies which, when modified, ultimately helped so much with our dogs behavior. We learned that discipline and consistency is the key to a well-trained dog. We would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful man!

    Jack is a very impressive dog trainer with a great understanding of dog issues. We have two young Scottish Terriers and one of them was very aggressive with other dogs. Jack helped us to socialize him very quickly so a walk in the park became enjoyable. Great person and gentlemen to deal with. Very easy to contact and arrange appointments. Highly recommend Jack.

    I cannot say enough good things about Jack. He is a very nice man that has helped me understand and train my dogs. He has a lot of experiencewith different breeds and can explain certain behaviors and attitudes. He is very flexible with time and place and is always willing to give advice. If you want to understand and develop and profound relationship with your furry friend, definitely contact Jack

    Jack has been training my Labs for 20 years. Great trainer

  • *****

    1 year, 2 other trainers, and a lot of money and stress could not fix my pup. I was beginning to think she was hopeless until just a few sessions with Jack and we’re on the right track. I now have a happier more balanced dog that is finally understanding what I expect of her when in public. Don’t waste your money with the other trainers, hire the best the first time. Thank you Jack!

    Jack is a wealth of knowledge and insight to help me and my dog understand each other.
