"After talking to several trainers regarding personal protection training I found Jerry’s philosophy to be refreshing and unique. My goal was to enhance my dog’s protective nature and place that nature on cue when I needed it, while still maintaining a positive relationship and keeping her lively personality and whimsical nature intact. Jerry has been able to develop Luna’s confidence through positive training methods applied in a very gentle and patient manner. I find his methods to be extremely effective as well as fun for my dog.  Jerry Hope is the only trainer I trust to do this type of work with my dog. I am very thankful to have such a terrific trainer available to us."

"As Jerry says, my dogs are a joy. From the great danes to the chihuahuas, each dog here is special to me. My training goals were basic obedience, a peaceful household, and happy dogs. After training with Jerry Hope, my dogs are obedient, our home is peaceful, and we are all happy ! Fortunately, I don't have problem dogs. However, the sheer number of dogs could sometimes invite trouble. On our third visit, I asked Jerry if he thought we could try letting all my dogs inside together, loose. I watched in amazement as 7 dogs played with no disturbance. 

Jerry's training is calm, positive, and fun for dogs and owners! My grandchildren are now involved in learning why dogs do the things they do. We are all enjoying training with immediate results.

I have recommended Jerry to several friends who are happy with his methods. His philosophy is unique and refreshing. Dogs see things differently than we do, and Jerry is committed to helping us see life as our best friends see it "

"I've recently had the great pleasure of working with Jerry Hope concerning some behavioral issues I've had with my dog, Dave.  Jerry's approach and methods far outshine any others that we have had experiences with before.  Jerry's vast knowledge and love for dogs shines through in everything that he does.  He tackles situations with a positive and affectionate approach, therefore giving the dog a eagerness to learn and the reward of not only succeeding but of getting great praise as well.  The dog develops a sense of confidence and builds it's self esteem, while learning in a safe and happy environment.  Jerry is an honest and reliable person with a great enthusiasm for what he does.  It is a joy to learn from him and I would highly recommend him to anyone with training or behavioral concerns.  I consider Jerry an exceptional person and trainer, and it is an honor to call him my friend."
