Jax is the best! Our puppy is doing so well now - she has taught us how to be good owner/ trainers. Our puppy loves going to see her and her dogs.

The training has made a huge difference and everyone there is wonderful. Anyone that would say anything different doesn't want to be held accountable for all the work that it takes on your part outside of training.

Jax is a fantastic trainer. We challenged her with an 8 week old golden retriever puppy and a 3.5 year old french bulldog dog set in his ways. We've already been told numerous times how well mannered our puppy is already and I'm completely blown away by how much improvement my french bulldog has made going from a reactive dog to one that can walk off-leash through a room of dogs and people and keep his focus soley on me. If you put in the work outside of the short training sessions training yourself and your dog, I guarantee Jax's training will work for you.

Jax is horrible to deal with. My husband and I had attended the consultation with Jen and thought it went pretty well. We decided to sign up (and pay) for classes but since the price was pretty hefty, I asked about whether there were any current discounts (there was a fall discount listed on the website). Jen said to ask Jax and if she gave a discount that she could refund us that amount. So the next day, I messaged Jax and asked about the possibility of a discount. Her response was, in part, "You are certainly welcome to find a cheaper trainer, I charge what I know I'm worth. But if you would like to go to a different trainer, I will refund.......And this already seems like it will not be a good match if your concern is money and not the dog. I will refund your money immediately." How arrogant does someone have to be, to be so offended if asked about a possible discount, that her business had previously offered. Yes, my husband and I will find a different trainer. She would have gotten no stars but to post this I had to select at least one.

Trainers and owner wont wear a mask and after the owner had a maskless COVID close encounter, owner refused to close for more than a single day or wait until testing could produce reliable results. Instead she refused to refund any of our money even though we felt unsafe after this incident. She refused to allow us to use it for private lessons or merchandise. She proceeded to hang up on us, cancel the rest of our lessons without our consent and just kept our money. Horrible person to deal with.

I did puppy training for a 7 month old German Shepherd and it went very well....and the price is reasonable. I highly recommend STL Dog Training.

I highly recommend STL Dog Training. My dog has been going to classes since March 2021. He started classes at the age of 6 months. Toast is a Miniature Australian Shepherd and it was clear that he was going to require training as he is a very active dog. I did a lot of research before choosing where we would take Toast for training,When I came to STL Dog Training for the evaluation prior to classes I was impressed with the information about the training. It included the goals for Toast but also for me and my wife. Raising a puppy takes effort and discipline to raise them successfully.Jax and the other trainers have exceeded expectations. They are very professional and obviously love dogs. One of the best advertisements is Jax's and the other trainer's dogs who are usually there when we come for training. They are so well trained. You hope that your dog can reach their level. Toast has had the opportunity to play with their dogs after class. They are very good with Toast even though they are so much bigger.Toast has completed level 1 and 2 training. It is amazing to see the progress. I get many compliments from friends and neighbors about how well he behaves. It makes having a dog so much more enjoyable. I have also boarded Toast with STL Dog Training. It was nice to go on vacation and not worry about him.Choosing STL Dog Training was a great decision. I am sure Toast is a different dog because of the excellent training. I am also grateful for the care shown during boarding. I plan to continue training in the future and use the services of STL Dog Training. If you want to have a well trained dog and enjoy a truly wonderful experience with your dog you need to contact STL Dog Training.

I had the worst interaction of my life with a business owner at this place. The owner Jack's was very unprofessional. She had an apprentice doing all the lessons & im not sure he knows what he's talking about. I was very confused & he had little to no explanation about what he was trying to "teach". I'm disappointed bc I heard great things about this place but they did NOT live up to the hype at all. It was very chaotic & the fact that the owner of the business had her own "service dog" that fence fought & was very reactive at the gate by her desk was very scary. I was coming for help with my dog with the same problem & I saw that hers did the same thing. How can anyone there help me! She has some ridiculous excuse but is telling me to correct my dog while hers is snarling & snapping at mine. Just the eval alone was way to traumatic & I wont be goin back. I hope they can find real trainers bc people are paying REAL TRAINERS prices, not apprentice trainer prices.

During my dog temperament test, I was encouraged to have 1 on 1 training sessions due to my anxious dog. I paid more for this but the trainer brought her child to the training sessions and spoke to him more than me and my dog. The child was making a ruckus and the trainer was yelling at her child. very distracting to my anxious dog Long story but my dog was sent back to shelter and I was told that I would get a refund of all of my unused credit as long as I provided a letter from my apartment stating he was kicked out(despite the refund policy). Letter was provided and they went back on their word and I never received a refund. They wouldn't even let me buy supplies (cage, bed, leash, etc. that I told them I was going to donate to a shelter)from their store with my money. However, I would've been able to use the funds for their store if I had the dog still. facility was decently nice, but TERRIBLE customer service and training. Would not recommend.
