Canine Cohen Dog Training

My husband and I worked with Jason shortly after rescuing our dog back in the fall. He taught us a lot of the basics that helped us build a strong foundation for training our dog and growing with him to figure out what worked best for us all. The best thing about Jason was that he was always encouraging while working with us, never patronizing, which was a fear I had about working with a trainer since I never owned a dog before. He always made us feel good about the work we were doing and provided feedback to us in a positive manner. This made the experience all the better. A few months ago a lady on the street complimented me on how «well behaved» my dog was and friends are always telling us how calm and well mannered he is. Those comments are all in part to Jason helping us establish the best possible relationship with our dog. I’d highly recommend working with him to train your dog!

Jason is a great guy and has giant amounts of love for dogs and expertise in understanding and modifying their behaviors. He’s also really good at explaining what he’s doing and giving us insights into what’s going on in our dog’s mind. We’ve had two sessions with Jason and they’ve helped us so much! Our big, enthusiastic pup is so much better on leash and we’re finally getting him to stop jumping up on us and our guests, after months of trying (and failing) on our own. Investing in a trainer is a big expense, but the results are definitely worth it, even for a dog without major behavioral issues. Absolutely recommended!

We’ve known Jason for years as fellow volunteers and adopters through Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue, but we recently got to learn what a really skilled trainer he is! We have two large, jumpy and excitable dogs and an almost toddler. During our first session, we worked on place and down were encouraged to get raised place beds (which I’d previously been reluctant to). The beds and the training have made a world of a difference and we accomplished so much in that one session that already our dogs are more calm, and the whole family is doing great.
Jason really is one of the best trainers we’ve worked with because what we thought was going to be a 5 session project was really tackled well in just that one. He is the perfect cross section of speaking dog and human!
We will be using Jason for all future road blocks and refreshers ahead, and can’t thank him enough.

Jason’s ability to work with dogs is a huge gift and his patience for the dog owners even more so – as the saying goes, «there are no bad dogs, only bad behaviors» (and often bad owners). While we LOVE our dogs like our kids, we’re guilty of doing things that are not in service of helping our dogs to make good decisions. Jason shows you how to communicate more effectively with your dog and thus, strengthen the love and relationship between human and canine. Our 3 training sessions were critical for my husband and I to learn the same language and present ourselves as a united front to «our kids.» Every penny spent is a lifelong return on investment.

We decided to work with Jason after we had a baby and were having a difficult time walking with the stroller and Morty simultaneously. Morty was great with the baby, but would get a little too excited on walks. Jason was absolutely fantastic with Morty and with us. He was didactic, patient, and extremely resourceful. Morty is walking beautifully, knows how to heel, learned the place command, and his recall has significantly improved. We highly recommend Jason. He has significantly helped our communication with Morty, and I had no idea we would be able to be happier with him than we already were!

Jason came highly recommended to us after we rescued our dog, Penny. He has a gift and a passion for helping dogs and humans understand each other. His training sessions are reinforced by the Canine Cohen Club: a community of clients that fosters a wealth of information and experience. In addition, Jason is always expanding his already vast skillset by attending lectures and conferences on new training techniques, the mark of a true professional.
But the best part about Jason is, with his guidance, we are able to see our dog’s full potential. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Canine Cohen provides an absolute must-​have suite of services for anyone introducing a new furry friend into their home or addressing issues that come up over time. We reached out to Jason after having brought home our new adoptee Dexter, a 60 lb lab mix, from Badass Brooklyn and were struggling to get him comfortable with our 3 rowdy young kids and vice versa. He came to our house for a lengthy assessment of our home environment, family dynamic, and of course Dexter. We then had Jason come back 3 more times, each time working on numerous commands that have been so helpful towards creating a harmonious environment for our new bestie, including sit, down, leave it, off, and the all important place command. Jason is extremely talented, effective, and generous with his time. Most importantly, the skills he teaches get results, and fast. And he provides the understating of how dogs think and tools you need continue with the training after your sessions are finished. I cannot recommend Jason highly enough. Give him a call… you won’t regret it.

My wife and I just had our first session with Jason, and we’ll definitely work with him again. Jason does a great job explaining things and and breaking the training down into concrete steps we can follow when he’s not there. Very practical — he really helps to think about how to deal with regular ‘real world’ situations that come up every day (instead of just what a perfect end result should be in a perfect world).

Jason is incredible. I recommend him 100%. He changed my dog’s life. The dog was fearful of men and fearful of being outside. By the time Jason’s training session was over, this dog was taking treats out of his hand. Jason gave me tips on how to make him feel more comfortable being outside — you should see this dogs tail wagging now when he walks outside! And now the dog curls up with my bf on the sofa. Jason changed this dog’s life. He is so patient, kind, and giving. (He also volunteers with dog rescues in the area!!) He is a fantastic, caring, trainer.

Jason is a wonderful trainer. He is kind, knowledgable, and just all around great guy. We and our Tibetan Terrier puppy were very happy to have him work with us for 3 sessions (and we might sign up for more). He gave us essential feedback in training our pup (i am a first time dog owner) and has many resources and information to provide. I think having a trainer is an essential part of raising a dog, even for a few sessions, and I can not recommend Jason /​Canine Cohen highly enough.

Jason is a fantastic trainer. I could not be happier about the progress we made with our rescue pit bull Buffy. We worked with Jason a handful of times. His approach is calm, attentive, firm but, loving. Buffy is a wonderful dog, who needed to brush up on her manners. With Jason’s guidance, Buffy has great etiquette now! Thanks to Jason, my pup and I have an even better, more loving relationship!
