Tales from Our Pack
Hear What Our Clients Say
MBG Dogs was referred to me by a friend. I adopted Jameson at 2 months old and unfortunately had an emergency surgery a few weeks in. Due to that he picked up some bad habits I didn’t know how to correct or teach him especially while recovering. Jordan has truly taken the extra time out to help every step of the way. In our lessons he makes sure to show you how to correct, watches you and gives amazing feedback. We also have been taking puppy kindergarten to help put us both on track. MBG Dogs & Jordan are an amazing balance of obedience & proper corrections combined with praise, love & treats. The group classes are such an amazing time for Jameson & a great learning experience as an owner. Julie is very direct and runs a great program they even include an agility course for the puppies which is amazing after the hard work they do. Jordan when he has the time has checked in on group classes to see what feedback he can give me to maximize our one on one time. I honestly don’t know what I would do without his help. He’s made himself available by texts, checks in & really cares about what going on and how do we handle it the right way. Jameson loves him & the entire staff so much. I look forward to continuing classes and watching Jameson grow.
We had our dog Goose in the 5 week Board and Train Program with Jordan, and could not be happier with the results. The entire staff took great care of Goose. I would highly recommend this program. We look forward to working with Jordan again!
My bodyguard dogs have an excellent staff. Very professional and very knowledgeable. We want to thank Jordan and Marissa for a great job they did with our puppies (Ellie & Cooper) . Jordan is so awesome and helped us a lot with our puppies. Thank you Jordan.
We could not have asked for a better trainer than Jordan. He was so patient with our German Shepherd and went above and beyond with his training. We went from having a dog that ran our house to now having one that obeys commands and is a joy to have around. We 100% recommend Jordan and the entire staff at My BodyGuard German Shepherds!
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with this dog training facility—especially our trainer, Jordan. From the start, he’s been incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and intuitive. We’re still in the early stages of training, but the progress my German Shepherd, Mia, has made already is amazing.
Jordan has a natural ability to connect with dogs, and it’s clear that Mia not only respects him, but genuinely enjoys working with him. Their bond is something special, and that kind of trust between trainer and dog makes all the difference. His techniques are thoughtful, effective, and tailored to Mia’s specific needs. I truly believe we’re in the best hands, and I’m beyond grateful to be working with someone as skilled and compassionate as Jordan. Highly recommend!

We recently finished the Puppy Head Start program with our miniature golden doodle Milly! We adopted Milly very young from a shelter and we wanted to get her formal training to build good behaviours and habits going forward. My BodyGuard was recommended to us from our vet, but we were told they normally don't train small dog breeds. Luckily, a recent addition to their team, Jordan, was willing to take her on and work with us. Jordan has been great throughout the process! We received daily updates and pictures with Milly's progress. Now that she's home, she's doing really well with her new training. Jordan has also been following up with us with extra tips and advice, even though the formal training has been completed. Overall, we've been very satisfied with everything they've done.
Jordan was excellent and very patient with my fur legged friend Blitz and I. He gave me his cell number to call if I have any questions at all. We live 96 miles one way from the training center. The whole staff was wonderful and very helpful. Lisa Z.
Our little girl Dottie is a rescue part beagle part fox hound around one year of age she excelled in her training with Jordan. Julie, and her team were all wonderful with Dottie. The facility itself is very impressive very clean and very organized. I would highly recommend Training any breed with this team my bodyguard. 10 stars!
We are so pleased with the training our girl Payton is receiving. We started her at 4 months and seeing her develop into a obedient, confident dog is amazing. Carlos is the best and just do what the trainer recommends. It works. They are the experts. We also enrolled her in intro to sports and it is a great waty to learn and connect with your dog. Isabella reaches that and is again a top notch trainer.
