We had an amazing experience with Cornerstone Dog Training, especially working with Maddie! From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about our dog’s progress and well-being. Maddie took the time to understand our goals, explained everything clearly, and gave us practical tools that actually worked. Our dog has improved so much in behavior, confidence, and obedience thanks to her patience and consistent guidance. You can tell Maddie genuinely loves what she does and goes the extra mile to make sure both the dog and owner feel supported and successful. We are so grateful for the positive difference she has made in our home and highly recommend Cornerstone Dog Training—and especially Maddie—to anyone looking for exceptional training and care!

We went through the training program with Ruby and Austin from Cornerstone about 6 or 7 years ago. After all of this time, I am currently more proud of my dog with how he is behaving in this very moment than I ever have been. I have to share this experience so others can see that this program really does work if done right!! My dog is high-anxiety and very reactive. To the point I had to start muzzling him because I couldn’t take him in public at all. He’s a large dog, very strong, and very determined. There is no choice between fight or flight with him, it was always immediately “fight”. He has been that way since I got him. I tried training him on my own, but failed. I found cornerstone after doing a bunch of research and decided to give them a shot. This was about 6 or 7 years ago. Ruby and Austin worked with us one-on-one and taught me everything I needed to know to properly work with him through all of the concerns I had. I was still super consistent for a couple years after graduating, but of course I started letting things slip over time. I basically stopped focusing on his training all together because we never really have people over, and we’ve found a good routine that he does really well with. I haven’t had any concerns. Last weekend we had an incident where my house flooded. We’ve had people in and out the entire week. I was really nervous he wouldn’t listen at all because it has been so long since we’ve done anything with his training, but as soon as I started commanding his focus, and working with him how I was taught in training, it was like we never stopped. He got SO excited that he wouldn’t even look at anyone else. This picture is him right now as I type this. We have a whole team of guys coming in and out, tearing out Sheetrock, baseboards, flooring, hammering, making loud noises, constantly walking right past us and he hasn’t budged. He slipped once before I put him in place and said hi to one of the guys when they first got here, but as soon as I said his name he came and sat right by my side in a heel position. I’m so proud of how far we’ve come and even without focusing on the training for the past few years, he still gets just as excited to jump back into it and knows exactly what to do. The amount of trust and confidence he has in me because of this program is incredible. Even last week I wouldn’t have expected him to be this calm with all we have going on. Now of course I would never recommend doing what I did and letting the training fall off because I’m sure it doesn’t work out like this for everyone, but I just wanted to share this experience because if you do it right, this program really does work. But also just need to shout out Ruby and Austin for all of the work they did with us. I can’t even express how grateful I am for everything.

After adopting our 2 yr old Labradoodle, we realized she was almost too much to handle. She was reactive to other dogs and was so hard to walk because she would pull us down the street. We found ourselves walking late at night to avoid any altercations. A friend recommended Cornerstone dog training, and after just a few weeks, our life with Nala was so much better! We were given the tools and help to successfully take our dog out in public and walk her in a heal. We can take her on hikes, off leash, with peace of mind that she will have good recall and obey the first time. It has taken work and effort on our part, but we are beyond pleased with this program and appreciated the tips and follow up our trainer, Alisia gave. I would recommend this program to dog owners that want more peace, trust and enjoyment with their dog.

Absolutely the best experience we could have hoped for. A million thanks to Emily who was an answer to our prayers. The results are simply phenomenal. These trainers provide a loving home environment that is crucial for your dogs peace while they work. Prior to joining we took a week to study out all of the options--seriously STUDY--before selecting Cornerstone. The Petsmart/Petco options and all the YouTube videos in the world would not put a dent in the issues with our hyper velociraptor-shark-o-dile puppy. There is no question we made the right choice. I would strongly recommend this option. It was crucial in providing us the long-term resource we needed for our pup's safety and happiness.

We love Cornerstone Dog Training! Our mini bernedoodle did puppy & chaos to calm board and train. When he came home he was so well behaved & obedient. We also love that we have access to lifetime assistance along with monthly group classes.

Cornerstone Dog Training was nothing short of life changing for my family and our dog. We had a bernedoodle puppy that was as difficult as you could get. I even tried to get rid of our dog twice and the new owners couldn’t handle her either. I was a few months away from delivering our first child and I was as overwhelmed as you could imagine. There was no way I could bring a baby home and feel like he was safe around our dog. As a last resort with our dog I signed up for training with Cornerstone. I should’ve started here!! Not only were they so understanding of my situation, but they were able to guarantee that if I put in the work and followed their program that my dog would be well behaved by the time I delivered my baby. They were SO right. Throughout the program I felt heard and that they catered to my specific needs and concerns. I felt so confident bringing a newborn home to our dog which I didn’t think was possible. 2 years later and our dog is still so well behaved. She is our children’s best friend. We continue to use the training techniques and supplies that Cornerstone gave us. If you are on the fence, do it. You won’t regret it! They are beyond worth the investment. I can’t recommend them and their program enough!!

Cornerstone changed our life! We had our dog up for sale because of how crazy she was around our baby. She was up for sale not even 24hrs and we both knew we needed to try harder. THATS when we found cornerstone and went for it. Our dog thrived with the structure and the tools they provide. Emily was very attentive to our needs and responsive to any questions. It’s work but it is worth it! I don’t even have to worry about my puppy and baby being in the same room because I know she will listen to recalls and commands. She even stays still during meals and while I work from home (which was not heard of!!) We would recommend this training to ANYONE who is wanting control over their dogs behavior.

My wife and I got an Airedale terrier puppy who was extremely energetic and quite frankly out of control; we got our puppy into the training program with cornerstone when our puppy was around 16 weeks old; we were teamed up with trainer Emily and she was the consummate pro throughout the training process. We were willing to work with the program but our puppy was still very hyper and not a great listener for the first couple of weeks; but Emily worked miracles with our puppy and week by week our puppy transformed into a pretty well behaved dog. Yesterday was our final training session for the program and our dog did amazing! A reason we loved this program was that they keep it simple; you learn a few commands each week and they even have videos to fall back on if you need extra guidance; then the next week at training you work on what you previously learned and then learn a couple more skills to work on. But Emily was a great trainer and had a loving but firm command of our dog from day one. We’re excited to attend graduation in a couple of weeks!!

We had the opportunity to work with Cornerstone Dog Training and it was amazing! We signed up our puppy for a 2 week board and train to go over basic obedience and crate training! They went above and beyond our expectations. Did our puppy come back perfect? Of course not! She’s just a puppy, but she came back with an excellent foundation of skills and obedience that we can continue to work with at home! In the couple weeks she’s been home, she has been able to build upon the foundation that cornerstone laid for our puppy and she’s doing amazing! Would definitely recommend Cornerstone Dog Training for anyone looking for training help with their puppy or dog! Thank you!! We will definitely be back!

Cornerstone Dog Training has been a lifesaver! We love their approach & the clear love they show their clients (pups). Madi is the absolute best. I appreciate the clear instructions & the encouragement we received weekly! Sadie is thriving instead of feeling chaotic or confused. Effective, efficient, and worth every dime!

My 1 yr old dog was kicked out of doggy daycare for being aggressive! Moki pulled me on walks and could disappear like a Houdini. Bringing her to Cornerstone completely transformed her! My trainer Madie was amazing and helped me see the cause of Moki’s aggression was anxiety… my 18 lb dog needed to be in control. Using the Cornerstone tools, Moki is now a sweet obedient girl who is grateful to no longer be in control! I work from home and the “place” command is my favorite while I’m in a meeting. When I divided the Cornerstone training fee into her lifespan, this is actually a reasonable investment into the rest of her life.

Never expected our boy to come as far as he has! I used to walk him at night because he wasn't manageable and now I can walk him in public without a leash. Absolutely worth every penny and would recommend for any dog. Will work on any and all of your training needs.

We are so proud of our little girl on her graduation. Our trainer Madie was terrific and cheered us along to the finish line. Cookie was HORRIBLE before Cornerstone and had a vial resource guarding issue. She is a changed dog. We are so happy with the one on one coaching. If you’re debating due to the cost, go for it. Well worth it. We got our sweet girl back.

Cornerstone dog training has been amazing for my dog and I. Parker had been scaring my neighbors with his bark, despite being the most friendly dog around. In fact, he was too friendly. He'd sprint out the door to say "hi" to neighbors and other dogs and wouldn't come back. He'd pull on his leash and drag any adult trying to hold him back, choking himself in the process. Now, thanks to Maverik and Cornerstone Dog Training, he's a model citizen. He stays in heel when we walk, comes when called, and behaves himself no matter where we are. Training is a lifelong commitment (as I learned through cornerstone) and I know I'll be working with Parker on little things from here on out, but now I have the tools to be able to do so. Additionally, Parker gets monthly group trainings with Cornerstone for his entire lifetime to help with more in depth training and socializing. Thank you, Maverik and Cornerstone for giving me my dream dog.

Where do I even begin? First off I wouldn’t have the confidence I have today with my dogs if it weren’t for Cornerstone and all of the value they offer. I called for a consultation & after the consultation the rest is history. We enrolled in their Advanced Training Program immediately. I had the pleasure of putting two of my dogs through their Advanced Training Program working with Jason & Lorelei as well as one of the trainers MaKayla with my dogs Camburg and Patience. Patience struggled with toy & bed possessiveness and counter surfing. I also never dreamt of ever being able to have her off leash outside because she didn’t listen and I was terrified she would run away. Cornerstone helped me correct those behaviors and more! It’s amazing to experience what it’s like being on the other side of those issues now! Thank you Cornerstone. The value you provide is unmatched. Fast forward to one year after going through the Advanced Training Program a stray dog found himself on my front door step and I knew in order to incorporate him into our “pack” he had to go through the same training as Camburg and Patience so I also had the pleasure of putting Max through their Board and Train Program too and if it weren’t for this I wouldn’t be where I am today with my dogs. I can’t thank Jason & Lorelei and their trainers enough for their expertise, dedication, tools & training and the time they invest into working with each and every one of their clients (us humans) and our dogs. They’re the best! Book your consultation today, you’ll be so happy that you did.

Our only regret is not doing this training earlier! We did the board and train for our 8 year old Cockapoo and 10 month old Cavapoochon. The training has made a night and day difference in our dogs. People can actually knock on our front door without the dogs losing their minds. We can walk them without them pulling the leash and being aggressive towards other dogs. The "place" command is a game changer. Maverick our trainer is absolutely amazing and was always available for any questions. He immediately put us at ease and you can see he truly cares about our dogs. Definitely would recommend!

We love our trainer Maddie. I’ve owned 6 dogs never thought of training. Then I bought dog #7 and because of my children telling me I shouldn’t have dogs, I’m not a good owner I decided to prove them wrong!! I looked up training places and clicked on Cornerstone. They have been amazing and at 8 months old my dog is Freaking Amazing!! Dog training isn’t just for the dog, it’s for owners too!!! It’s worth the time, effort and & money

Cornerstone is the best of the best! Maddie was my mini goldendoodle’s trainer. She was so amazing to work with! I met all the staff a couple days ago and they are all amazing as well! This program is definitely the best training out there because I researched for a couple months before I knew they were the one! They will never leave your side either! You can always continue to go to their monthly classes, or call them and they will continue to help! This was the best money I’ve ever spent, simply because my cute puppy is now an amazing well behaved puppy!

Almost $2,000 and WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! You get what you pay for. And the MORE you take the program seriously, the BETTER your canine will be!! My advice is to be 100% open and prepared to do everything you are TOLD, EVEN IF it makes your daily living harder. (It’s only temporary 😉) My sweet Luna went from being an OUT OF CONTROL and UNBELIEVABLY HYPER dog that NEVER LISTENED to the most calm and obedient girl she’s ever been! I take her out to public everywhere now to silently show her off, and she’s been off leash a few times and done beautifully ! A HUSKY! OFF LEASH! IN A STORE! 🤯 Go here! If money is an issue talk with them! They are happy to offer payment plans so there is no excuse! You get incredible coaching, understanding payment plans, customization training to help meet your dogs needs and address behavioral concerns, access to videos and other content when you aren’t with your trainer, responsive owners and trainers to address your questions, and a LIFETIME TRAINING GUARANTEE!! if you need a little extra help AFTER the program you get it FREE!!!! PLUS monthly group training sessions for free after the program! God bless you Cornerstone Training!

When we first took Mojave to work with Ruby, we had to put a muzzle on her. After 3 years since we got her from Rescue Rovers she had become increasingly fearful of people and other dogs, had started rushing and snarling at people, attacking other dogs, and it seemed as if it would only be a matter of time before some inexcusable incident was going to occur. While still not perfect, which of us is, we can see our gentle giant again for the first time in months. We have hope again.

I wish I knew about Cornerstone Dog Training when my dog was a puppy. I went to another dog trainer when my dog was a puppy. Although, she did not receive the best training which led me to Cornerstone Dog Training. After going through Cornerstone Dog Training, my dog actually started listening to me. She now walks on heel off lead, stays on place, sits, lays down, comes on command, is fully kennel trained, rides well in the car, can manage her stress with fireworks, and is generally well behaved. I receive compliments all the time regarding her behavior. Thank you Cornerstone Dog Training! They are truly the best.

We just used Cornerstone, with Madie the trainer for our 7-month old and got excellent results. Our puppy was NOT potty-trained in any way, shape, or form. She is super cute with no discipline and toms of energy. After 3 weeks with Madie where our puppy was safe, she obeys commands, is potty-trained and has relieved a ton of stress on us as we navigate two dogs and the blessing of a second child. Thank you Cornerstone and Thank You Madie!

After training I feel comfortable bringing him anywhere and everywhere with me and know he will obey. Emily was our trainer and she is absolutely amazing! She is very educated and always answered my questions and gave tips for other problem areas with my dog. Overall a 10/10 experience!

I am a trainer here at Cornerstone, but went through the program before hand with my dog. Jason & Lorelei and the whole team truly care for you and your dog. Not only did I feel completely heard and taken care of when experiencing the program, but I continue to feel it as a team member. Having tried to train my dog on my own, I felt I had failed but Makayla and the team gave me the confidence and tools to know how to encounter any situation. Being a newlywed college student, I was hesitant to jump into any formal training, but Cornerstone truly wants to give my dog training that will last a lifetime and I could tell they wanted to help my little family through training my dog.

I would give more stars if I could! Our lab Timber had high anxiety and could be aggressive towards strangers and other dogs when scared. After doing the 8 week training program, we now have a dog that can go on walks without the stress. She has excellent leash manners and we love the place command. We look forward to the group classes that are available after the 8 weeks where we can practice walking with other dogs and people that understand the process. Jason and Lorelei and their team are above and beyond any other dog trainer in every way. They genuinely care about your dog and are as excited as you are to see them grow and succeed.

We are doing the board and train and our corgi is doing so wonderful! She looks to be having fun and I can already see the results from their updates. They are kind, answer any questions, and always put your pup's safety first.

Go with them! I am absolutely blown away by this whole team! They really helped with my pup! Before I came here he was very high energy and was barking and nipping! He’s a whole new dog! He listens so well and is so much more manageable! I even took him to a groomer and they asked me where he got his training because they could see such a noticable difference! Thank heavens you Cornerstone! You are all amazing!

Loved training with Ruby and Austin! Our dog is always the best trained pup wherever we go. He is 9 months and will sit until I release him, even at the busiest times at the park. So glad my friend recommended this program to me! It’s pricey, but so worth it! Tex is just the dog I wanted him to be!

Ruby and Austin are amazing. Ollie is a mini Australian Shepherd who has a very strong herding instinct. He used to try to herd cars, bikes, motorcycles, and anything that moves quickly. He has made so much improvement in the weeks that we have been going to train with Ruby and Austin.

We started with Cornerstone Dog training just 3 days after bringing our 8 week old puppy home. They helped us kennel train him, potty train him and fine tune all this little puppy habits. We continued on through Advanced training and at 7 months we have such an amazing dog! He is well behaved, travels with us and stays in hotels, hikes, lays calm at the park while the kids play, etc. The whole Cornerstone team is remarkable. We specifically worked with Abbie for the majority of training and she is so sweet and helpful. I would recommend this team of people to anyone! We are beyond grateful for the knowledge and understanding of everyone at Cornerstone! We’d easily do it again if given the chance!

Our Molly dog was trained by Jason and Lorelei, Cornerstone Dog Training, as a puppy, as part of their "board and train" program in 2019. Molly is now 2 years old. The training and foundation she received is amazing! I am always feeling so grateful and appreciative for Cornerstone Puppy training our fur baby received. Molly is an awesome dog, much of that is attributable to the training she received as a puppy. 👍👍🙂 Thanks so much!

We just wrapped up our second (but first full) board and train session with Cornerstone, and we could not be more impressed by the full transformation of our 11-month-old Mini American Shepherd. Our little guy was a timid, disorganized, very high-energy puppy who was starting to intimidate our young girls as he grew bigger and stronger. He was becoming a lot to handle for our family. Three weeks with Cornerstone and our fantastic trainer, Josh, and he returned an obedient, calm, organized, and predictable dog. Josh addressed all of our concerns and trained our little guy in an environment similar to ours, to ensure that our concerns and the puppy's transition would be as seamless as possible. We can't say enough great things about our experience (both experiences) with Cornerstone Dog Training.

We were so nervous to try another board and train program after a bad experience elsewhere but Jason and Lorelei were so patient and went through our many questions to help us be comfortable leaving our dogs with them for three weeks. They really treated our dogs like their own and were just amazing! It doesn't hurt that our dogs came back as better behaved companions that we knew how to work with, either. 😉 You get what you pay for and for us being able to enjoy spending time with our dogs is worth every penny!

Ruby at Cornerstone Dog training is the best! We have a completely different dog in just 60 days. She went from pulling my arm off while on leash to being able to heal off leash in just two months. Also, who knew “place” could be such a life changer? Lifetime guarantee and lifetime group classes make their services a good value. They also provide all the needed tools for success. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

Absolutely the only place I would recommend for someones dog. Extremely professional when you talk to them the first time on the phone. I emailed them a list of expectations and behavioral corrections our mastiff needed. We went over my expectations and they went through the email with me line by line explaining how each action will be corrected. After going over the email she told me which programs will be best for our dog. We decided on boarding, because we are from Las Vegas and it would be to difficult to attend the weekend classes.When we dropped her off you get the vibe That your dog will be staying in a safe, loving, family environment. Throughout our dog stay we were updated through Instagram. I would text and call for updates and questions. I would always get quick responses. When I picked our dog up after three weeks she was a complete different dog but her loving playful personality was still there. When I picked her we went over all the commands. It was hard to go over the commands because my dog behavior didn’t need to be correct. We also went over the email I sent and they wanted to make sure I felt my expectations were met. A follow up class was giving to the rest of our family a week later (my kids, husband, and brother). It’s been a month and our dogs behavior is still like the day I picked her up.

Olive just finished her advanced obedience course with Cornerstone Dog Training! She learned and improved so much throughout the course, and it was so fun to watch as she figured things out. Ruby is an AWESOME trainer, responded quickly to every question I had between sessions, and helped me work on individual issues that we were having. We even met up at the dog park after graduating to let our pups play, and when Olive spotted her across the park she got so excited! 100% recommend them to anyone who needs help with their dogs, they are awesome to work with and as long as you keep consistent with the training between sessions your dog will improve a lot!

We loved training chino at cornerstone! Ruby was great and gave great advice for all our concerns throughout the weeks! He was already a pretty good dog when we rescued him, but now he is AMAZING! Much calmer, more manageable in new situations with new people and dogs, and so much less stressful to manage. We constantly get compliments on how good and sweet he is, even though he is a “high energy” border collie mix. We also feel so much more prepared to train future dogs and our puppy later this year!

Best money we have ever spent!! We keep saying our dog Chief is a whole new man. Ruby was patient and clear during lessons, with both Chief and myself. She was available for questions/support in-between lessons. Chief is now less anxious and more obedient. I don’t worry about taking him out in public or around other dogs.

I apologize now for the long post but I have a lot to say. My dog is an Australian Shepherd / German Shepherd mix names Zeppelin. He’s a big 90 lb boy who has high anxiety when he sees other dogs and starts acting very aggressive. It started at about 9 months old and I wasn’t sure how to handle it so I stopped taking him places. This caused it to get worse and he was stuck in my house all the time. He has always been so stubborn and if he didn’t want to do something, he wouldn’t. Finally at 2 yrs old I decided I needed to get some help with him. I knew I wasn’t giving him the life he deserved. I found Cornerstone Dog Training and had a consult with them. I met with Jason and immediately had the confidence I needed to start training. Ruby was our trainer and she was amazing! She gave me all of the tools and showed me exactly what to do during our sessions. She gave me a clear layout of what I needed to do with him each week to make it a successful training. I finished training two months ago and everyone that knows Zeppelin has complimented how good of a dog he is and how he has done a complete 180 with his obedience. During training I lost confidence a few times because he seemed to digress. I would send her messages while in tears because I didn’t feel like it was working. She was more than happy to talk me through anything that was going on and explain what could be causing the issues and she was always right of course! I’m so impressed and happy with our results. Although he still is struggling with other dogs (this is going to take a lot of time and work), I know we will eventually get there. Luckily for us they have free group classes after training to keep things going. The first group class we went to after training was a struggle for us. He was barking and lunging at the other dogs. I was so anxious the whole time. Jason stepped in and showed me what to do on the spot and by the end of the hour, Zeppelin was walking along side other dogs which is a HUGE win for us. I cried the entire way home because I never thought that was something we would be able to do. We are absolutely going to be continuing group classes and I am fully confident that he will be able to be around other dogs with no issues in the near future. I can’t recommend Cornerstone enough to anyone who is struggling with ANY issues with their dog. I can actually take my boy camping and hiking and to hang out with friends. His life is substantially better and you can see how much happier he is! I’m so grateful for everything Jason, Ruby and the crew have done for us!

We were going to get rid of our dog but then we heard about Cornerstone. It was worth every penny and every minute! Our hyper border collie is now well behaved and we can take her anywhere with us. We’re so grateful for the one-on-one attention and for the constant communication. Cornerstone helped us bond with our dog and we are all in love and can’t imagine our home without her! If we ever get another pup, we will for sure be contacting Cornerstone again!

I cannot recommend Cornerstone enough. My dog has been to two other trainers over the last 4 years I have had him - one for group and one for individual - and while he learned things, he made nowhere near the progress he did with Ruby and Austin at Cornerstone. My dog was extremely anxious and reactive to other dogs, cars, bikes, etc and it made for an anxious dog owner as well. We rarely took walks and while I would never get rid of him, it was exhausting having such an anxious dog. We started off with a temperament test with the owner, Jason. He stated he felt the 9 week individual classes would be best for Eli. I was shocked at the price but I felt it was an investment that we absolutely needed and after finishing the 9 weeks today, I would have paid way more. I would have paid more after the first day. All of the tools used were included as well as monthly group classes once the 9 weeks are finished. The e-collar has been an amazing way to communicate and he is following commands even when he is Not wearing it. We have always had a strong bond but it is incredible now. I have now taken him to busy stores such as Cabelas and Lowes mid day on a Saturday! One of the classes is a field trip with your trainer to a store. And he laid next to me or walked at my heel the whole time. I used to barely be able to take him out the front door with his 50 lbs self dragging me down the street and now he doesn't even pull when he isn't in his "heel" command. We will continue to socialize him with other dogs at the group classes and even with that being a work in progress he is SO MUCH CALMER. The trainers at Cornerstone have incredible knowledge and believe in the program, some having gotten started training because of it working for their aggressive dog. I can't wait to see how Eli progresses now that he has graduated to the group classes. Thank you so much Ruby, Austin, and Jason!

Our dog was two years old and started to have some terrible habits. The two worst were marking up our new house peeing along our baseboard and he also started to bite/nip at kids when they came to pet him. I can honestly say that this training program has 100% corrected both those problems and made him a well trained dog who is much less anxious than he was before. He has not marked our house once or bitten anyone is the past nine weeks! These guys stand by their guarantee that your dog will be trained after their 9 week program, well worth your money!

We have a 1.5 year old Belgian Tervuren, and took her to Cornerstone Dog Training to work on basic things like excessive barking, leash pulling, and dog aggression. To the credit of Cornerstone and the trainers, we solved these problems quickly and moved on to behaviors that have made having a dog so much more enjoyable than it already was. The trainers care about both handler and dog, and constantly helped us to build a good working relationship with our high-drive dog. I can not recommend this company and program highly enough!

They’re very kind and patient with me. It was very impressive to watch what they’re done with their own dog. However I feel like it was just a simple to order DVD instruction video then pay $600 for three lessons. I thought with that kind of money I would get a lot more out of it. But they just showed me their techniques and then wanted me to do everything at home. I’m a very busy woman and I do the best I can but Unless you are a stay at home mom there’s no way I could give her the training that they were trying to show me. Just thought I would have a lot more out of it. My dog is still just as bad as before even with taking time to do the techniques. Just finished the training for the dog they took her to fix what she had not learned in puppy training and she did just finished a board and train with them so far so good as long as we can keep it up at home and they will always be there for us I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed with the patients they’ve had not only from my dog but especially for me.

If you're looking for dog/obedience training, look no further. Cornerstone was worth every penny, and their price is very reasonable for everything you get. The training is life-long because they teach you how to train and communicate with your dog. I adopted a 6 year old Pointer/Lab mix who is very high energy and was very wild. My wife and I were very stressed and started thinking we might not be a good fit, but we decided to try Cornerstone's program before we gave up on him. We are very glad we did. We are his 5th owner! After several weeks of hard work, we have a completely different dog. We learned how to focus his energy in positive ways and put him to "work," which can be as simple as sitting in place. Both my dog and I are much happier now that we know how communicate. I highly recommend Cornerstone Dog Training.

My husband and I trained our adult Boxer and Labrador with Jason and Kyle and we are incredibly happy with the results. Our dogs have learned to be calm and stay on their beds in the house, they have a great off-leash heel, and their recall is solid. We love to hike outdoors and now we can hike confidently, knowing that we have control over our dogs when seeing other dogs and people. I highly recommend this program to anybody with a dog. Our boxer was an "adrenaline junky" before this training and he needed an intervention. But even our labrador, who was calm and mild before the training has greatly improved with Jason and Kyle's help. We now have two wonderfully trained dogs and we are so happy!

Jason has been amazing with my dog, Enzo. He was a rescue dog. At 6 years old, Enzo started aggressively biting and I could not break him from it and was considering putting him down rather than risk someone else getting hurt. After Enzo viciously bit me, I was afraid of him. The biting completely disconnected our bond. That’s when I found Jason 🙂. I took Enzo to him for a temperament check to see if the problem could be resolved. I have had and trained many difficult dogs and I was pretty convinced Enzo was hopeless. Jason immediately gave me the correct tool/slip leash with information about how to use it so I would be safe without any pressure to do his program but encouraged me to consider it because he thought Enzo was worth saving. We did finish his program and worked hard to rehab him (and trained me!) Enzo is doing great now! He is as consistent as I am. Jason is calm and persistent. I would highly recommend him personally and his training program. The monthly socialization classes are super helpful. Jason was right about Enzo and his ongoing assistance when needed is exactly what we needed to be successful! ❤️ Thank you, Jason (Our fairy-dog-father!)

Cornerstone Dog Training is absolutely fantastic! I would not hesitate to recommend Jason and his team to any dog owner. Jason is so knowledgeable and experienced, but he also has a natural, innate way with animals. We enrolled our 4-month-old golden retriever in Jason’s puppy obedience class, where we learned potty training, crate training, sit, down, place, and heel, as well as manners (how to stop your puppy from chewing or jumping up). We are excited to begin advanced training with Ruby! Cornerstone Dog Training takes things step by step but also addresses needs of the owner as they come up. They are in demand as a training group but made sure to fit us in their schedule as needed. The training costs include supplies, such as collars, leashes, a treat pouch, and training DVDs, based on which course you sign up for. Overall, just a fantastic program run by a knowledgeable, friendly, and great trainer. We wholeheartedly recommend the investment of Cornerstone Dog Training to have a dog you’ll enjoy throughout its lifetime! Thanks, Jason!

Jason is a phenomenal dog trainer and a really great guy to know. We had a misbehaving puppy that was becoming possessive over his food and toys -- not only that be he wouldn't listen to a word we said. It caused all kinds of stress for us as well as our dog seemed stressed. Now, after having gone through this training program with Jason, our dog is so well behaved I can hardly recognize him. He's happy, he's playful, he's obedient, and we have a better relationship with him now. One of our best decisions so far with our dog was to bring him to Cornerstone Dog Training. Thanks, Jason!

Loved training with Cornerstone! Jason is great at teaching you how to work with your dogs specific problems, while teaching more than basic obedience. We signed up because our 10 month old cocker spaniel started resource guarding. He was also very disobedient. Within the first week, it was like we had a brand new dog. Every week since he's become better and better. He now doesn't show any signs of guarding, he walks properly on and off leash, he is amazing around other dogs and children, and is just all around a more calm dog. It's a lot of work, but so worth it. Our dog is noticeably happier now that he has some structure in his life. We can't wait to do the program with our 10 year old dog next. This program is worth every penny!

Jason is terrific! He worked with my 7 month old puppy for a little while before I got her, she came knowing commands and manners I have always looked for in a family dog. My follow up training session with him was very informative and I cant believe what he was able to teach her and I in that session. I enjoyed how is would explain in detail the reasoning behind everything he was teaching and answered all my questions. I would recommend Jason for any needs you may have with your dog, I know I will continue to take Honey to him for continued training.
