    Jim was the absolute best. He taught my husband and I so many strategies, tricks and ideas to help with our Ruby. I can't say enough that it was the right choice to get training for Ruby and use Jim's service. He showed compassion to Ruby which didn't go unnoticed. We look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

    We have known Jim for about 17 years. He has trained three dogs for us. We are in training with him right now with our five month old pup. Jim is amazing and gives very practical advice targeted to you, your dog and your lifestyle. He knows dogs and people and has a heart for both.

    We hired Jim because we felt like Tyler had separation anxiety and later on "aggression" issues. We quickly came to learn though that many of the behaviors we thought Tyler had were really a product of his new transition into our home and our behavior towards him. Jim is amazingly patient with everyone, and you quickly come to learn that he's training you the owner versus your dog. He truly has a special knack for understanding dogs and translating it into "human terms." I'm happy to report that Tyler is doing a million times better. The money spent on Jim was absolutely worth it. And as an added perk, Jim is wonderfully kind and personable. We couldn't have asked for a better trainer. -- Kim

    Jim has completely changed our life. Our 6 year old boxer/pit mix Nala had a lot of issues with other dogs... to the point where we could no longer walk her for fear she would see another dog. So we hired Jim and his training and guidance has changed Nala's attitude in just six one-hour lessons over the past month and a half. We take Nala with us everywhere now! I would recommend Jim to anyone. He is such a pleasure to work with, has a great attitude, and sure knows how to train dogs with a positive and loving methodology. Thanks so much Jim!

    Jim Burwell is an excellent dog trainer who has helped me on several occasions. Two of our older dogs attended his training classes at Rover Oaks years ago. We couldn't have been happier with the results and our dogs were genuinely happy with the classes as well! He also helped me deal with a very scared feral dog we rescued who is now a well-adjusted, happy, healthy member of our family. Finally, Jim has been extremely generous with his time and money in assisting local animal rescue groups. He's truly a good guy!!!
