About Jason Cohen
© Traer Scott Photography
Over the years, it's been an honor to help dogs with separation anxiety become more comfortable when they're alone, teach dogs in multi-dog households how to live peacefully with each other, help dogs understand how to come when called, and even how to walk calmly on the city street near other dogs.
But one of the most rewarding achievements is helping dogs overcome their fears, enabling them to become confident and happy dogs. Seeing humans learning to communicate properly with their dogs, for me, is what it's all about.
I am a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist through Starmark Academy and a Veteran of the US Army,

Philosophy

I believe in always training the dog in front of me and helping you understand how, like people, no two dogs are the same. In order to focus on your individual dog and your specific goals, I break down the process into three parts:
Bark.
Represents the problem we want to solve. Whether it's jumping, stopping, or pulling on the leash, not coming when called, fears and anxiety, aggression, or incessant barking, we start by finding your dog's motivation
Train.
To train our dogs, we start by closing the communication gap between you and your dog. Most behavior issues can be resolved through building a better relationship, motivational training, and behavior modification.
Love.
We all want to give our dogs love, but there must be a balance. Dogs thrive when we are clear about our communication and expectations. I can help you develop a healthy and happy relationship with your dog.
Let me show you and your dog what Bark, Train, Love is all about, get started here.
