""I am super impressed with Jason and his training. Other trainers I've tried in the past were no better than YouTube or online articles. Jason has very specific tips and methods that are not covered anywhere else, but really make a lot of sense. I'm only two lessons into my puppy sessions, but so far I am really impressed. Seriously, I have raised another dog, read a lot of books and articles, and have had other trainers, so I am not easily impressed."" -Doug Cha ""Since working with Jason at Canine Scholars, our one-year-old labradoodle has been a dream! We've worked with dog trainers in the past but never got the long-lasting results we were looking for. Jason spent time training us and our dog, and the results have been amazing. We have the easiest time walking our dog around busy places with no pulling or jumping. We can also let our dog play off-leash with the confidence she won't run off. With only eight lessons, we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Hands down, we recommend Canine Scholars and will definitely use Jason again in the future!"" -Ashley Micsky ""Jason truly has a passion for what he does and you can tell immediately. He provided tools for us to use with our pup that will be useful for the long haul. His puppy classes were a great investment as we will now have a well-behaved dog for years to come."" -Matthew Canine Scholars has simply changed my life. I rescued a 180-pound, aggressive, anxious, terrified Great Dane on May 20, 2010. I fell in love with him immediately-and almost just as quickly, he bit one of my neighbors. I called dozens of trainers who offered different packages, different training styles, and different results. Jason was the ONLY one who was honest, confident, and genuinely cared about both me and Guinness. We had a total of 4 training sessions and my dog is absolutely a different animal. He is well-behaved both on and off the leash. He instinctively knows what is expected of him in any circumstance and enjoys having me as his master. I recommend Jason to everyone. He has changed my life and has given my dog a second chance. I know that any pet I ever have in the future will work with Jason. I could never thank him enough for bringing me such peace of mind and such happiness. I would recommend that anyone who wants a well-behaved, trained companion call Canine Scholars immediately!"" -Christi Fronczkiewicz ""Canine Scholars has made a lasting impression on my puppy. Jason went above and beyond to not only train my puppy, but to train me as well. He had a lot of patience when teaching me how to set expectations for my puppy. The training sessions were informative but also a lot of fun. My puppy now knows all the basic commands and we are eager and excited to take the next step with the off-leash, focused-based training! I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for either puppy or older dog training. You will be absolutely amazed at the long term results of your dog's skills!"" -Erin Laurie

Author Information

If there's anyone who can teach an old dog new tricks, it's Jason R. Toy.

Now he has written Mind Your Paws, a complete guide to navigating the confusing decisions facing perplexed puppy parents. Based in the Carolinas, Jason is also creator of the Puppy Potty log app and the Mind Your Paws video course to accompany this book. His pet pooches enjoy watching the videos almost as much as playing fetch.
