Professional Dog Training ... With heart and structure
Helping good dogs become great companions!
About Me
I am so blessed to have been around dogs from a very early age. I have been training and coaching dogs for as long as I can remember, but they have taught me more than I could ever have taught them. Dogs have instilled in me things like: Live in the moment ... Don't dwell on the past ... Appreciate others ... Stop and listen ... Be direct ... Give a friendly greeting ... Drink lots of water ... Accept yourself ... Be loyal and dependable ... Love unconditionally ... My personal favorite - Play! I could go on and on, but the point is that every lesson I give them, they have given back to me 100 times more.
I grew up in Applegate, a very small Placer County town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California. A place bound in rustic nature where I was submerged in loving connections and fellowship with all kinds of different animals. I have been certified as a Veterinary Technician and was employed at the Animal Medical Center in Auburn, CA. I also worked as a manager in pet retail at Incredible Pets in Auburn. Most recently I worked as a Sales Representative for Fromm Family Foods, an outstanding pet food company based in Wisconsin.
During the Covid-19 pandemic I was laid-off from my job, like so many Americans during that time. Looking for odd jobs to earn money, I started helping people with their furry family members. I gave their dogs exercise and basic training and obedience. This experience made me realize three things: People and their tale-wagging loved ones needed help ... I love doing it ... I’m really good at it. I decided to make canine training my full-time profession and JARED'S DOG TRAINING was born. I serve the dog community and families by providing the highest quality training and care possible.

We've used Jared now for a couple years and we LOVE his dog walking and training service. He is always so caring to our dogs and they are so much better behaved because of his dedicated passion for dogs. I recommend him to anyone!

Jared has a special connection with dogs, and that can be seen on how he interacts with our dog Rambo. I would never use anyone other than Jared, and that's because you can see he really cares. He's not just hear for a paycheck! He is patient with our dog and we love that.

We hired Jared to help train our dog Charlie, specifically to learn our property boundaries. As a young puppy, we didn't want him to run off. Jared was terrific and had him obeying us in a very short period of time. He also taught us how to use the professional dog training collar. Charlie obeys us anywhere we take him now. Jared has such a loving and positive personality as he trains. He has become a special part of our lives. Thanks so much Jared!

No More Fear
Jared was a God-send for me and my female Munsterlander. She was attacked by a dog a couple years back and from that, I developed a serious fear when she met up with new dogs on the trail. Unfortunately, I passed that fear on to her. Jared initially worked with her to gain her trust and to develop a relationship. That process happened quickly. He then began the process of associating with new dogs and was successful in helping her gain confidence and learn how to socialize without fear. The final piece was working with me. He taught me some essential skills at staying calm and tools on how to approach meeting new dogs with her. I'm incredibly grateful for all his help and working through these crazy fears.

Mission
My mission is to turn stress into success for both dogs and their humans. I help families—pets included, of course—learn to live in harmony through training, structure, patience, leadership, and clear communication. By creating boundaries and purpose, dogs gain fulfillment and a sense of belonging, while owners gain peace, confidence, and more time enjoying their companions instead of feeling frustrated. I strive to transform chaos into calm and confusion into connection, so that humans and their dogs can share a life built on trust, purpose, and joy.
Philosophy
My training philosophy is built on respect for a dog’s natural instincts. Dogs are descendants of the grey wolf — they thrive on structure, purpose, and calm, confident leadership. I believe every dog carries a spark of the wild. My approach is about honoring that instinct — giving dogs direction, meaning, and freedom through stable energy and composed guidance.
I work with a dog’s nature, not against it. Exercise, clarity, and consistency cultivate trust; affection and patience strengthen the pack bond.
When we understand their nature instead of fighting it, we create balance, trust, and true companionship. This is how I pay tribute to the sacred, primal relationship between humans and the wolves who became our dogs.
