I have had a number of German Shepherd dogs throughout my life and always wanted to have a truly trained and obedient dog. I was referred by an acquaintance to Brookes .Jefferson came to our home and presented his training course .He was very knowledgeable in all of the problems we were having our newest addition to our dog family.She was 19 months old at the beginning of her training..she was beating up on our 11 year old shepherd frequently.On his first visit he showed us how to address the problem and we only had a couple of those fighting type incidences until the training method cured that problem.Jefferson was always very prompt and professional. He was very humane and kind to my Dakota. We are now finished with our course and I now have a very highly trained and obedient dog.He taught me and my wife how to handle on and off leash commands. He has way too many training abilities for me to list on this review. I would highly recommend Brookes family dog training to anyone who wants to learn the methods of how to have a highly trained dog .

We are very pleased with the progress Jefferson made with our Yorkie. He was about 9 months old when we brought him home. He had already developed some bad habits. Jefferson developed a great relationship with our dog and helped us to understand how break the bad habits while building healthy ones.

We have a small dog Chihuahua miniature pinscher mix that did not want to stop barking other dogs. Whether he was in the car or on a leash walking or laying down somewhere with us, he would always get up and start barking as if you wanted to attack the other dogs. He also didn’t want to come when he was called, which made it difficult for us because we live on a big piece of property with coyotes and bobcats. We were always terrified when he ran up the hill that he was gonna get attacked by something. We hired Jefferson and within no time things started to change our Dog, whose name is Riggs, Started to mellow out with the training tools and his skill techniques we’ve been able to enjoy our Dog more than ever. He now no longer barks at dogs on the street or if we’re at a restaurant he just lays in his spot and mind his own business. We even took him to a rodeo where there were horses and he had never seen a horse before and he behaved he didn’t bark he didn’t try to attack them or chase them. I couldn’t be more happy with the results of his training and knowing that I can come to Jefferson anytime even after his training is over if I have a problem, come up makes it even more worth it. I hope that if you’re considering getting your dog trained that you seriously consider Jefferson as a Trainer.

I had no prior experience with dog training, so I was unsure of what to expect. Jefferson has been an instrumental part of my relationship with Charlotte. We began training almost immediately after I adopted her. While there were no apparent behavioral issues, I wanted to ensure that she and I developed a strong bond and mutual understanding. Jefferson has been instrumental in achieving this goal. Both Charlotte and I were initially apprehensive about starting training, but Jefferson has been incredibly patient with us both. He introduces various techniques and provides the scientific basis behind them. He also introduces tools that may seem intimidating at first, but he thoroughly explains them to ensure that we feel comfortable using them. If a tool doesn’t work for us, he’s more than willing to find an alternative solution. Jefferson is gentle with Charlotte and genuinely understands her needs and boundaries. We couldn’t have asked for a better trainer!

Jefferson has been absolutely incredible! He has worked with our dog, Chase, since he was a puppy, and the results speak for themselves. Jefferson doesn't just train dogs; he gives owners the exact tools they need to succeed. He has a natural gift with Chase—and frankly, with every single dog we’ve seen him interact with. We highly recommend Jefferson to anyone looking for a trainer and will absolutely continue to use him. Thank you for everything, Jefferson!

Jefferson was fantastic, he was the last chance for our reactive dog…After the training sessions, my dog is no longer reactive, and is an angel on walks and in our home…

Jefferson is an incredible dog trainer. He goes above and beyond to not only train your dogs but to fully teach you (the owner) every aspect of how and why to do specific commands/drills. In our specific situation, our 9 year old dog was aggressive towards our puppy. He was able to quickly assess the situation and immediately begin his program with us. His approach was invaluable and has allowed our 2 dogs to bond. I’m happy to report that our dogs now get along without any issues. I would recommend Brooks Family K9 to anyone!

Jefferson is very professional, considerate, on time and very respectful. His training methods are excellent and my dog is completely different from when we first started training. He’s calm, obedient and obeys commands. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a well trained service dog and pet.

This service was referred to us by a pet hotel. Jefferson is an expert on dog training, he came to our home and worked with our dog. His rates were very good and we are completely satisfied with his work.
