Well worth it and we wish we had done it sooner!

Jason came out to our property to help us with our 4 dogs. All very different with personality and issues so we needed help. Within minutes he had us and our pups running like a well oiled machine. He gave us direction and in turn it has helped them exponentially. Well worth it and we wish we had done it sooner!

Jason is here in Port Macquarie for all the owners and pooches! Don't doubt his extraordinary ability. I'm thankful and so appreciative

Jason Harris is a true master of his craft. I went to him at the end of my rope with two much loved, yet very difficult to manage pooches for training. I was also in need of training, confidence building and knowledge. At the end of the session the difference for me and my dogs was truly incredible. I know the work has just begun and that we will have daily training and development etc, however I feel I can handle both of them better, understand them better and know I can reach out to Jason any time during this journey. I learned a great deal, even about my own dog trauma and fear and I'm forever grateful Jason is here in Port Macquarie for all the owners and pooches! Don't doubt his extraordinary ability. I'm thankful and so appreciative. Cheers Jason

Jason has changed my world Thankyou Jason

Jason’s knowledge and expertise is second to none

Jason’s knowledge and expertise is second to none. He got our puppy Spud under control, socialised so he can get pats without jumping and misbehaving and he no longer bites !

Spud is happy and is a little gentleman with his halter and lead and we can now go for walks without any problems.

Jason's video of Spuds training, on his YouTube channel, just shows the magic Jason has with training dogs.

I can not recommend more highly. After trying unsuccessfully with other trainers we can not praise more Jason and his expertise.

Thanks Jason, we will be back to learn some more tricks in the future! 🐶 🐾

Jason was extremely helpful in helping me to tame my black tornado Labrador

Jason was extremely helpful in helping me to tame my black tornado Labrador. She used to pull hard on the lead and launch herself at people on our walks. Friendly launches to say hi, but much too hard for me to control. Persistence training on a daily basis was the key, a lot of patience and a new head collar made all the difference. Jason followed up on our progress and was always willing to help. I now have a much better behaved, social, easy to walk gorgeous little girl. Thanks Jason.

Julia Howard

We feel as if we have a different dog!

Great information provided during a one-on-one session with our dog. We feel as if we have a different dog! Jason worked beautifully with her and with us, ensuring the dog knew what to do and we knew how to support her. Thank you!

Jason is an extremely skilled, knowledgeable and passionate dog trainer

Jason is an extremely skilled, knowledgeable and passionate dog trainer. I took my new rescue pup with a human trauma/fear aggression background to Jason for a one on one session, the tools he provided were priceless. Jason has continued to check in and provide advice and support along the way which I'm forever grateful for. My pup has also been going to doggyday care weekly where she's having the time of her life socialising with other doggos and the team who are absolutely brilliant, providing reports and updates on her progress. I now have a completely different doggo and have learnt the skills to support her through her journey. Thank you Jason and the amazing team at Doggy Day Care.

Jason .. legend, his team.. fantastic.

Jason .. legend, his team.. fantastic.

Jason’s clear and direct approach to dog training was outstanding. In five weeks we learn so much.

From week one our border Collie was listening to our training commands.

Jason’s classes are a game changer.

My collie pulls so hard on the lead I hurt my arm but with one class with Jason and Marty she is now walking and not pulling!

Plus all his YouTube videos, happy to answer questions over the phone, his very approachable and fun.

Thanks Jason and the team.

Getting the best out of your dog takes time, consistency and training and in my case also hands on professional help by Jason himself . Could not be happier with progress to date.

I have been working with Jason and his team since my dog Storm was 9 weeks old. Storm attended 1 hour puppy sessions every Saturday until he was fully vaccinated and able to participate in the puppy obedience program which ran for 5 weeks. Since then I have worked with Jason to ensure Storms training is on point for the type of dog and breed he is. A big strong German Shepherd. I cannot recommend Jason and his team enough. They are not only professional in their approach to training but they care for the dogs they work with and always ready to help owners understand how best to manage and help train their dogs. Getting the best out of your dog takes time, consistency and training and in my case also hands on professional help by Jason himself . Could not be happier with progress to date.

Can't fault anyone or anything. Jason KNOWS his stuff AND has YEARS of high level dog handling & training experience

Can't fault anyone or anything. Jason KNOWS his stuff AND has YEARS of high level dog handling & training experience. Customer service from everyone is amazing. My dog Xena thinks the place is heaven & everyone in it are fabulous! (She told me 😜). Really great facility offering lots of services. So convenient! I HIGHLY recommend Jason Harris dog training (especially for problematic dogs) and all of the services within ie doggy daycare, grooming, treats to buy, dog equipment, even a dog walking service! Everything you need to help your furfriend to live THEIR best life!

Kelli Hines

Jason takes a sensible approach to training both dog and owner. I can’t recommend him high enough.

I’d been quoted by another dog trainer $2200 for a three week residential for my dog, Bailey, to learn the basics. 😧 Bailey and I spent less than 90 minutes with Jason and, yes, we need to keep practicing, but Bailey can sit, stay, walk on loose lead and come on command. Jason takes a sensible approach to training both dog and owner. I can’t recommend him high enough.

Anni Yaringa

An absolute game changer for us! 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a reactive and anxious dog.

I approached Jason to support me with my reactive 3 year old kelpie x collie. Luca has gone from anxious to a more confident dog in a matter of weeks. He has even learnt to positively interact and play with others dog. An absolute game changer for us! 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a reactive and anxious dog.

Mikaela McGuire

Super happy and impressed with our session with Jason and our jack russell.

Super happy and impressed with our session with Jason and our jack russell. Jason was so helpful in giving us the tools and training advice we needed to turn our cray cray super reactive dog into a civilised little pooch, so far she is doing really great!! Highly recommend Jason

I now have the confidence & skills to go anywhere with Reggie without a worry. Jason's knowledge & passion for dogs shines through the work he does....thank you Jason, keep doing what you're doing.

I recently adopted a rescue dog who had a few behaviour issues. I decided I needed help & took him to Jason for a one on one training session. It was exactly what I needed, the session was informative, easy to understand & fun. I now have the confidence & skills to go anywhere with Reggie without a worry. Jason's knowledge & passion for dogs shines through the work he does....thank you Jason, keep doing what you're doing.

We took our 40kg boy down to Jason. Jason's manner and understanding of dogs, their behaviours and importantly their signs is incredible. This from spending years working directly with dogs throughout his career - see his CV.

AMAZING TRAINER.

We had to go see Jason as our recently adopted Am Staff was showing STRONG dog reactivity. We couldn't get our dog to walk past a dog in the other side of the street without going off. We had a serious incident which required some serious intervention.

We took our 40kg boy down to Jason. Jason's manner and understanding of dogs, their behaviours and importantly their signs is incredible. This from spending years working directly with dogs throughout his career - see his CV.

We had a 90min session with Jason which was amazing. His techniques are amazing. By the end of the session our dog had approximately 8 exposures to other dogs. He was happily sitting near and walking with other dogs by the end of the session.

Jason reinforced that it takes commitment to your dog to maintain the focus and discipline. Most importantly our dog LOVED IT!!! Stimulation is so important!

So 2 days after the session I have just returned from an exposure walk with my new hound. He had 6 exposures and only one little hiccup which was addresses quickly and he self corrected then. Even did the old walk around the corner suprise straight into another dog about 2 metres away. 1 simple "leave it" command, he continued walking next to me. Not so much as a deviation of his walk line. AMAZING.

If your dog needs any sort of training. This is literally a lifestyle changer for us and our hairy child.

Thank you so much Jason and staff.

CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH.

"I was struggling to find any clips on YouTube that show how to train a dog that has severe reactive issues to everything when walking and does not take treats. As you can imagine communicating is non-existent when walking too.

Your videos have helped me to try and understand how to use the slip lead in a proper manner and with practice get Mavis to understand how to walk with me in a safe manner."

I just wanted to get in touch with you to say a BIG Thank you to you for all your valuable training information you give on your YouTube videos.

I live in England and have a rescue dog called Mavis. Mavis is deaf, has eye sight impairment and may have some neurological issues..

You make a lot of sense with the information you give.

Sorry if I’ve rambled on a bit but I wanted to take the time to contact you.

We wish you all the best for the future

"Jason was able to correct a major behavioural issue between my two very large dogs in an hour."

I have nothing but the highest praise for Jason Harris and his training techniques. Jason was able to correct a major behavioural issue between my two very large dogs in an hour. We did have experience with other trainers and they weren’t able to achieve the results Jason achieved in a small amount of time. He was great to work with, honest and supportive. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Michelle Symes

"Thanks Jason for helping me understand my puppy and giving me the tools to have a better relationship with him"

I made contact with Jason when my puppy was six months old. My puppy, Siggy, was very mouthy and had started jumping and nipping. Although he wasn’t aggressive, he was a very big puppy (around 25kilos) and my friends and family were frightened of him. I had stopped taking him outside the house because I didn’t feel I was able to control him.

I was feeling overwhelmed and miserable when my vet referred me to Jason. In a few sessions, Jason taught me some strategies which gave me the confidence to set boundaries with Siggy. He also reassured me that my puppy was not aggressive just very boisterous!

I also checked Siggy into Jason’s puppy dog daycare, an amazing experience which made me realise Siggy needed much more doggy stimulation!

Thanks Jason for helping me understand my puppy and giving me the tools to have a better relationship with him.

Since I left the area, Jason has been super helpful and recommended dog trainers in Sydney and sent an email to my new doggy daycare care to let them know how Siggy behaved at his doggy day care. Thanks Jason.

"I cannot believe the difference Jason made with my little Louie. You only have to see his YouTube video for proof.

I cannot believe the difference Jason made with my little Louie. You only have to see his YouTube video for proof.

The first time Louie met Jason, he was a 4 legged psychopath that was flipping and foaming at the mouth to get to other dogs. I remember Jason saying to me “this dog is one of the most reactive dogs I’ve ever seen, I don’t think I’m going to be able to help much”, I thought at that point, there was little hope for Louie… But boy was I wrong!

Through Jason’s commitment, hard work & patience, Louie has become a little gentlemen when around other dogs compared to what he was. Jason even had him amongst the big dogs at doggy day care (on both of which occasions I was in tears of joy).

Jason, I will be forever grateful for what you’ve done with Louie. Thanks to you, I am now confident taking my little ex-psychopath out in public! Don’t ever underestimate the skills you have because I have faith you can help the most psychopathic of dogs!

"The best part for me was the personalised feedback so that I could easily see how my voice and or movements were giving Koko mixed signals and how to correct this.

Koko and I had a wonderful training session with Jason and I saw immediate improvement both during the session and at home. Jason has a gentle and authentic approach to training dogs and I was easily able to continue working on place, sit, stay and much more at home. The best part for me was the personalised feedback so that I could easily see how my voice and or movements were giving Koko mixed signals and how to correct this.

"Within 5min of our 2hr session we gained great knowledge & practical application to move forward.

First impressions really nice guy & great facility - it only got better from there...

Within 5min of our 2hr session we gained great knowledge & practical application to move forward.

We are 100% confident that if we can continue Jason's methods Daisy will be an obedient, well mannered, playful happy dog. Cheers.

"Jason is extremely passionate and knowledgeable in what he does and not only worked well with the dogs but gave great advice as an owner.

Just want to say a big thank you to Jason and his team! Koda has just finished puppy preschool and couldn’t recommend it enough. Jason is extremely passionate and knowledgeable in what he does and not only worked well with the dogs but gave great advice as an owner.

Emma Avery

"Jason gives excellent advice and tips that are easy to understand to be a better leader for your dog. 10/10 absolutely recommend."

My dog Koda has been anxious around other dogs after some negative experiences in her past.

She has completed 2 socialisation/training sessions with Jason and the progress she has made already is amazing. Jason has given such valuable insight and helped Koda and myself to build confidence again.

Jason gives excellent advice and tips that are easy to understand to be a better leader for your dog. 10/10 absolutely recommend.

I can not recommend more highly, Jason. He is very passionate on the service he provides.

I found him to be extremely knowledgeable on my dog’s behaviour but also, giving me the right advice as a dog owner.

The result in my first consultation amazed me. The advice and tools that were taught is invaluable. Again, I highly recommend consulting if you have any concerns with your dog/s behaviour with Jason.

With thanks, Arlow 🐶

"Had three sessions with Missy and Jason so far and Missy’s made such a massive improvement!"

"Had three sessions with Missy and Jason so far and Missy’s made such a massive improvement! She is now a more sociable dog and a lot less anxious and less lead reactive which is all thanks to Jason’s great training and advice. Can not recommend him enough! Thank you so much Jason!"

"I highly recommend Jason; his understanding of dogs and their behaviour's blew me away"

I highly recommend Jason; his understanding of dogs and their behaviour's blew me away.

His passion for training dogs is second to none, my wife and I attended a private session with Jason, I was so impressed with how well he understood our specific breed of dogs (Huskies) but also his positive nature towards helping us with our confidence handling them.

Excellent experience, thankyou 😊

"Jason’s dog training videos are the best I’ve ever seen - and I’ve watched many! "

Jason’s dog training videos are the best I’ve ever seen - and I’ve watched many! They show the entire process AS IT REALLY HAPPENS, and this really opened my eyes to all sorts of details I had previously missed. I have a reactive Labrador Archie, whose leash reactivity has been an issue for many years now. I tried every method but nothing really penetrated his brain and changed his behaviour. He is an ideal dog otherwise and doesn’t even pull on leash, but when he saw another dog he’d go into a lunging growling frenzy that was very hard to control, and made me very nervous, too. I contacted Jason for a very long distance consultation - between UK and Australia!! - and based on his very sensible down to earth advice, walking Archie has become a pleasure again. When we see a dog, I don’t avoid it now. I just say LEAVE IT (sometimes preventively) and LET’s GO - and he looks at the dog and keeps walking, ON A LOOSE LEASH. No reaction. I learned from Jason to keep my voice calm and cheerful, and this really helps. THANK YOU JASON, your kind advice has taken all the stress out of having a reactive dog. Now I see every dog we meet as an opportunity to practice! To accomplish this with the advice of such a wise and experienced trainer so far away feels like a miracle!! So grateful to Jason for this very kind help. 🦮👏😊

Elana Lappin

"Wow, what an amazing first session and result".

"Wow, what an amazing first session and result. We have a big, 2 year old Staffy Koa, with a strong will. In just one 90 minute training session, Jason calmly and very clearly demonstrated and guided us through the commands and behaviour corrections etc we needed to redirect our big boys’ reactive behaviour. We have a new dog!!!We will continue on with Koa’s training knowing that we can “touch base”with Jason for ongoing support anytime.This has been such a positive and rewarding experience for our whole family. Jason is a passionate, talented trainer and we highly recommend his service".

Huge thank you!!! 

Glenn, Catherine and Kalani.

"We are so incredibly grateful for the strategies and advice Jason gave us, there has been a significant increase in ‘calm’ within our home".

"Jason visited our home three days ago, to give us some guidance on puppy parenting for our two Jack Russell Terriers. Tobi is 2.5yrs and Krickette 13 months. We were impressed with Jason’s ability to connect with both our puppies and gain their trust and obedience through respectful interactions. We are so incredibly grateful for the strategies and advice Jason gave us, there has been a significant increase in ‘calm’ within our home. We’ve also experienced a major breakthrough with Tobi accepting wearing a collar today, it’s the first time he’s had collar on all day"! Thank you so much Jason 😊

Appreciate it"

"He made the dog training session very easy to understand and follow"

- Debbie

"Jason knows what he’s doing"

“Jason knows what he’s doing. I had results for walking on the lead, heel, and long lead walking in one session with an untrained Border Collie. We will be getting him back for more training after we have mastered this. Highly recommend!” 

- Louise

"He genuinely wants to help dog owners succeed"

“We had our first lesson with Jason and couldn’t believe within 5 minutes our dog was responsive & following instructions. Jason went above and beyond to help us and he genuinely wants to help dog owners succeed. Jason doesn’t just teach you techniques, he follows up and encourages along the way. No question is too much trouble. I highly recommend Jason if you want easy to follow guidance for any support you may need.” 

- Bec

"Knowledgeable, personable, made a difference in such a short space of time"

Knowledgeable, personable, made a difference in such a short space of time. Coached and led and gave practical solutions and then practised with the dog and owner and reinforced behaviours with positive feedback.

D. Ludington

"You could not ask for anyone better to train your dog"

“I highly recommend Jason Harris Dog Training. You could not ask for anyone better to train your dog. After only a few sessions with Jason our Groodle, Clara understands and responds to basic instruction. Jason’s experience in training dogs is obvious. He understands dogs’ behaviour and keeps his instructions simple for the dog to understand. Jason delivers lots of praise and play in his training. Jason’s stress-free training has made me more confident training Clara. Fortunately, Jason is patient and approachable not just for the dog, but the owner too. 5 stars! “

- Valarie

"I have already seen drastic improvements with only one session" 

I would definitely recommend Jason to all dog parents wanting to get some training with their pups. I have already seen drastic improvements with only one session
