"The minute James from Pawcific Dog Academy walked into our back yard he was in control of our two Doberman Pinchers. We were so impressed with his technigue and commands. Our two 80 pound dogs were impossible to walk. James is teaching us how to walk the dogs and dog manners. James is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend James to train your dogs."

"PDA has helped me and my rescue dog so much! I learn something new in every class. My dog has benefited greatly from learning to behave and being around other dogs in the group classes. Plus, the classes are fun and James knows how to break down concepts so that they are easy to understand and master. Thank you, James!"

"James has completely changed our lives and the lives of our dogs (and at an extremely fair price!!). We sent him our most reactive dog who had been returned numerous times and seen other trainers. Within 6 weeks she is already behaving like a new dog. Before, she went crazy even seeing a dog two blocks away. Now she can walk right past dogs and ignore them. James saved this dogs life and I’m not even exaggerating."

“James Miller from PDA is a master of his craft. He is an insightful and creative professional dog and human trainer. I thoroughly enjoy his group classes. He is a wonderful communicator between humans and their dogs and his great sense of humor is icing on the cake. Any issues I had with my 2 dogs have been solved with his fine down to earth & practical advice & techniques.”

“James was a game changer. I didn’t think my dog was ever going to behave. She was very reactive and I felt like I couldn’t safely take her in public. Now I can take her to art festivals, beaches, and other crowded places with tons of people and other dogs.”

"Can’t put into words what an amazing trainer James is! Our dog had been picked up by his rescue as a 1yo stray and we came to James with a reactive Covid family pet. Numerous trainers gave up on us or stated our dog was too much for them. Not James! He welcomed the challenge, knows his stuff and gets results. I’ve seen him work with all other types of breeds and behaviors in dogs (and their owners) and he is encouraging and doesn’t give up. You will see results if you work with him."

"So thankful for James and his group classes! Our pittie rescue was very excited around other pets on the leash and James helped teach us how to handle him better from day one. Spud has already improved so much in such a short time and we're so grateful for this program and are learning so much!
He works with all types of dogs and is so encouraging and won't let you give up. I highly recommend his program!"

"James is a wonderful trainer for our beagle. I can’t believe the progress he’s made with on-leash and off-leash training. We’ve owned a beagle before & didn’t think it was possible to get a beagle to follow commands as James has."
