Training dogs dates back to Roman times. Around 120 B.C. a Roman farmer, Marcus Varro, recorded advice on raising and training puppies for herding livestock. His writings reveal that not only was dog training well established, but that the value of early training was recognized.
2,000 years later, Jason is doing the same thing in Brooklyn, NY. After years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes, Jason has developed a multitude of advanced training techniques. Listed below are some of the techniques offered.
