Where do I even begin? Jake has been nothing short of incredible. From the very first session, he walked into our home with absolutely no judgement—just kindness, patience and a genuine love for dogs. He took the time to get to know not only our dogs, but us as a family, and…

Jake was great with Darcie and Phoenix. He gave us so many tips on how to help our girls to be the best versions of themselves. We noticed such growth in their abilities and they have, with Jakes help, become calmer and more responsive to what we are asking them to do. Jake is…

I have just finished an initial 8 session training pack with my 15 month old Rottweiler and Jake from Power Pooches and I am thrilled with the outcome! I was feeling like I was in too deep with such a strong breed of dog and that I had failed with my previous training attempts…

If you value your dog’s wellbeing and want to strengthen your understanding and bond with them, then Power Pooches is for you. Before our journey with trainer Jake, our family struggled with our over excited and hyper staffy. Power Pooches values the importance of understanding…

Highly highly recommend Jake! We were blessed with a sweet golden girl, but she is definitely the most excitable puppy my family’s ever had so we needed some help training her. She responded really well to the positive approach & we now know so much about her body language and…

In a word — brilliant. Jake was fantastic with our dogs, particularly Razzle. We now understand he suffers from anxiety and leash reactivity — something we hadn’t recognised — but Jake identified it almost immediately. He then gave us the practical tools and clear strategies we…

After an incident with my reactive mini sausage Winston I reached out to Jake who immediately made me feel better about the situation and realize that I was not alone with what had happened. We undertook his 8-lesson pack for both my sausages and they have both improved…

Power Pooches are amazing. Jake is fantastic with our dogs. He showed us so much in a short time to maximise the training. Our little one has always thought he’s the boss and has been snappy toward men for quite some time, but within minutes of meeting Jake, he warmed to him and…

My puppy absolutely LOVES Jake (I think he might like him more than he likes me 😉)! He started off scared of absolutely EVERYTHING, we still have a way to go, but he has definitely made progress. UPDATE I have just had an emotional 1 hour 15min call with Jake out of desperation…

Jake has been amazing! My boy Nero completed 8 sessions focused on reducing anxiety/hyper-arousal and building his confidence in public. There’s been such a difference! I’m so happy with the results and really enjoyed the structure of the sessions. Jake is great with…

Our dog Gerald had several behavioural issues, with anxiety and confidence. Jake worked with us and me in particular to build my confidence in walking Gerald on my own. He was very patient with Gerald and we are so pleased with his progress. Gerald has come so far from his first…

Thank you Jake and Sasha. The work you did with myself and my dog was truly effective and lasting. The training we both undertook with Power Pooches has stayed with myself and my dog and we are grateful for the positive impact your methods and your style of training has had in…

Featured story: Sasha

Sasha came from rescue with a history of multiple homes and difficulty connecting with people. She faced leash reactivity, separation anxiety and a fear of cars.

Jake’s commitment to learning, professional support and daily management is the foundation of Power Pooches. This is not a guarantee of outcomes for other dogs—it is the real story behind the business.
