TESTIMONIALS

We sent our 6 month old German Shepherd Jackson to “camp” with ACC. He was always a good dog but would test us at times, so we wanted to make sure he was well-trained. We worried that his spunky little personality would whither away and questioned if we made the right decision. The night we dropped Jackson off, all of our concerns were addressed and dealt with. Jacob Weaver provides a quality service that is unmatched. ACC’s kennels are nice and clean, the dogs have an airing yard, and most importantly, the dogs are treated with decency and respect. Altamaha Canine Consulting is the “real deal”; their services are “as advertised” and more. Jackson now walks properly and behaves in public. He’s the same goofy pup but now has manners that get compliments all the time. We can always contact ACC about any problems that may arise. In all seriousness and with all the doubts we had, we could not be happier with the results of the 8 week obedience program. Thank you Jacob and we hope to see you soon. In short, if you want all the tools to have a rewarding life with your dog, this training is money well spent.

RYAN AND AMANDA

"Jacob Weaver Owner/Operator of ACC is everything you are searching for in dog training, breeding, and purchasing. He helped me locate my black lab which we use primarily as a gun dog. At the time of purchasing the dog I decided to train her myself. Jacob was always willing to lend a helping hand with me and my dog...in person or over the phone he was always helpful! Then my dog contracted parvovirus and he rushed in to help her and ultimately saved her for me. At that time I was overwhelmed and decided dog training wasn’t for me. He took the reigns with our dog and transformed her into the best gun dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of hunting over.

In closing if you are in the market for anything to do with a Dog, gun dog or house pet...do yourself a favor and call up Jacob! You won’t be sorry you did!"

THE GILLEON FAMILY

"Jacob did an amazing job with our chocolate lab Benelli. He went through the obedience & gundog training programs and we were beyond happy with the results. Jacob kept us updated on his progress & spent a lot of time helping us make sure the transition went well when going over all the commands with Benelli. I would highly recommend him for any form or level of training!"

THE DRURY FAMILY

We sent our 5 year old cavapoo to Jacob because she had become a bit territorial and had slipped into pushy behaviors with the children - especially when it came to food and space on the couch. We sent Maggie to Jacob and he helped us teach her to be our dog, not our boss! It has helped tremendously to keep her off the furniture and to sit and wait for a treat. We have taken time to work with Maggie on the commands and are careful not to let her slip back into old habits and that is key. Jacob definitely taught us the tools we did not have before and we are enjoying our dog much more now.

THE LEROUX FAMILY

I sent Bentley, a Wheaten Terrier, to “Camp Screven” expecting a German Short haired Pointer to return. But no, an even cuter Bentley who doesn’t jump up so much and who goes to his ”place” when told. He still is a licker and he still has a mind of his own, but that is his personality.

FRANCES A. ZWENIG

5 out of 5 stars for ACC. They done awesome work with my lab and have trained him well. Jacob has done great work with him and has impressed me with what my dog can do. I’ve never had an issue with them. They took good care of my lab also. Would highly recommend using Jacob at ACC for any needs!

THE REEVES FAMILY

My husband is retired US Navy Chief Petty Officer, hence the name Chief. As you can see Chief is a German Shepherd. I bought him for my husband when he was 10 weeks old – Jim worked with the dogs a bit just before he retired and fell in love with their abilities. We bought him from a family breeder. As he grew and became stubborn as a mule, we noticed he had some quirky behaviors that needed addressing. I ran into someone in the pet store while buying dog food, she told me how Jacob had trained her 2 German Shepherds. She recommended using Purina Pro as a quality food for shepherds since Jacob (ACC) had recommended it as a balanced nutrition food that provided all of what they needed. I contacted Jacob for obedience and we took Chief for training with Jacob 8 weeks, I cried all the way home, leaving him was the hardest thing ever, probably drove Jacob crazy checking on him, but he sent pics. We switched foods while he had him and the difference in his temperament and coat was incredible! Although he gave Jacob a run for his money he graduated with flying colors and is obedient. We still give our Chief Purina Pro Plan and he is active, happy and loves his food! He is also 100lbs of pure muscle, very fitHe still thinks he is “The Chief” and takes on my husband’s “Once a Chief, always a Chief” persona if we aren’t in the room!!! Hats off and Thanks to ACC and Jacob for training my too smart, quirky boy! Thanks to ACC (Jacob) and Purina we have a GREAT DOG!!!! Please contact me if you have any doubts, he has the nicest kennels and a great family that helps out! Lisa & Jim MorrisonBlythe Island, Ga!

THE MORRIS FAMILY

As new dog owners, we were not confident and quite amateurish in how to train our new Boykin Spaniel , affectionately named Zoey by our boys.

Altamaha Canine Consulting under the direction of Jacob Weaver was HIGHLY recommended to us by several different families and this proved to be one of the best decisions that we have made. Not only is Jacob truly loving and compassionate to all of dogs in training as well as his kennel dogs.... he is extremely knowledgable and honest and amazing in the way that he gets to know each dog personally and effortlessly. He immediately puts all of your fears and concerns at rest with his kind demeanor and his true patience with every inquiry, question and concern.

The experiences that we have had since the first moment that we met Jacob and his crew to the current moment have been nothing less than perfect. His facilities are clean and perfect for the dogs with time for play and individual training time. There is no doubt that Jacob treats his student dogs just like he would his own and once he makes a friend in them ... that bond is obvious and so awesome to see.

He trained our Zoey for many months with great success and we truly cannot thank Jacob and his guys enough.... ! To say that we had a A , 5 Star experience would be right on!!!

Jacob....we ( including Zoey girl ) thank you so very much for always going above and beyond with her!

We are so glad that we put our trust in Altamaha Canine Consulting and Jacob Weaver with Zoey !!!

THE BOYKIN FAMILY

I can not say enough about Jacob and Altamaha Canine Consulting. We have two young kids that were so excited to welcome our golden retriever puppy Belle into our home. She was so sweet but really didn't understand that my two year old was not her playtoy. She constantly knocked him down and jumped all over him. She didn't listen to me and my husband and we did not know what to do. Everyone was miserable especially poor Belle who spent a lot of time in her crate. I met Jacob at Wolfe Animal Hospital and mentioned to him my struggles with Belle. He told me about his program and it seemed like it could work! When I dropped off Belle I had confidence that Jacob could train her but would she still be the same at home. As the weeks went by Jacob kept me updated on Belle's progress. We missed her terribly but to be honest it was a nice break after all the chaos we had for months. When we arrived to pick up Belle at the end of the program I was amazed! She did everything Jacob said and would even follow commands my 8 year old gave her. She truly understood what we wanted her to do and did it! When we got home it was life changing! Belle no longer tackled my son and would do exactly what we asked her to do. We have had her home for about 6 months now and other than an occasional reminder with her e-collar she is awesome! She is truly a member of our family and we are all so happy! Belle goes with us everywhere! The beach, school and restaurants. We are so thankful for Jacob and all the staff at Altamaha Canine Consulting!!! Thank you for putting peace back in our lives!!!

THE SEABOLT FAMILY

Our family is from St. Simon’s Island and I had always promised my little ones that when we finally purchased a house we would get a dog! In August of 2016 we bought our house and by October of 2016 we purchased our first family dog named Hunter. He was a nine week old pure bred chocolate lab and cute as a button! Obviously, labs are known for their high energy and puppy nature the first two years and here we had a brand new home for him to wreck! The first half of his life was spent at Puppy Paradise on the island and he loved it while we were at work. However, over time we needed to keep him at home more often during the work day and we just couldn’t trust him enough to let him out of the crate. He would love to chew things and swallow socks! In December of 2017 we heard of Jacob Weaver from Tina at Puppy Paradise as well as a neighbor who had sent their Lab their recently as well. Setting up training for Hunter was so easy and Jacob was highly organized! We dropped Hunter off for an 8 week obedient session. During this time we had horrible weather and Jacob called me and asked if he could keep him another 2 weeks because with all the bad weather he did not feel that Hunter got all he could out of it. This was at no cost because Jacob takes pride in his work and wants the best for the owners and the dog. We picked up Hunter in February of 2018 and Jacob spent an hour going over all that Hunter had learned. We also practiced doing the calls ourselves. All I have to say is that today we are able to walk this dog without a leash and he stays to my side. He listens to commands even when we are around other dogs and other people. We can finally take him down to the pier without being dragged down the pier with a leash! Hunter can be found lounging on the driveway while the neighborhood plays or running around the trees while the children chase him! It has been such an amazing experience for us and Hunter now has free range of the house while we are at work all day. He loves to play ball and fetches and drops immediately. He could literally do this all day long and greets us at the door with his ball! I cannot say enough about Jacob’s team, his integrity, and his love for animals. Jacob is always available to us via text and does text me to ask how the big guy is doing! It sure didn’t hurt that he also a Vet so I felt even more confident leaving our baby with him. I never in a million years thought that our family dog would be as good as my lab when I was a child, but I must say Hunter is better behaved than my own dog growing up. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and love to see you visit the island anytime!

THE VACCARO FAMILY

The day that Jake was born he was destined to be my bird dog, even though the plan was for him to be my husband’s. I personally whelped Jake’s litter for my husband’s friend, who highly recommend Altamaha Canine Consulting. Jake entered into obedience at six months of age with Jacob Weaver. He then continued into retrieval training. He was there for a total of four months. Jake is now MY hunting dog! We duck hunt, quail hunt and dove hunt every chance we get! I love this dog. He has become an amazing hunting partner! I owe it all to Jacob and the staff at Altamaha Canine Consulting! This dog has changed my life!

THE MCDONALD FAMILY

THE VACCARO FAMILY

Thru a series of phone calls looking for a lab puppy, I was lucky enough to be put in touch with Jacob. In November of 2016 I drove home with a tiny chocolate lab that we named Tuck. 6 months later I realized I needed some help with training and called Jacob back up to see if he was the answer. He was indeed. I really liked the fact that Jacob knew both Tuck's mom and dad and his temperament. He is a smart boy - really I am the one who needed the training to make him the best dog he could be! Jacob has a wonderful, clean facility and takes the time to make sure that you and your family have the knowledge and tools to continue your dogs training once you leave. If I get another dog - I will certainly call Jacob to help me find and train the next one!

THE TOLLISON FAMILY

Normally don't give reviews on much stuff unless really impressed and that I was with Altamaha training services. Jacob Weaver is jam up trainer and great down to earth person. I let him get ahold of his first Boykin to train, and he let me know right away it was going to be an experience for all of us, and it was. He kept me up to date on everything whether he was sharp as a tack on something or spinning his wheels. But I told Jacob the style of hunting we do and what all I would like my dog to be able to do and he met everything I asked for and more. So I would highly recommend Jacob to anyone who is looking for a trainer, if you ever have any problems he's always more than happy to try and tell you the fix or to ride over and let him see it to show you how to correct it in person. Everytime I'd went there to work my dog or check up on him he was very well took care of and always up

to par on all of his healthcare needs. So once again if anyone looking for a trainer, I would highly recommend him, and I'm sure he will get a few more from me in the future.

JAKE LYTLE

Hello! My name is Bj. I purchased a Doberman puppy and I knew I wanted him to be a well trained dog. As I was searching for a trainer a friend of mine mentioned Jacob of Altamaha Canine.I called and got Jacob on my first try. When we brought Sampson to the training center I had a very hard time controlling him, being 7 months old and weighing 70 lbs.The facility is very clean. I was impressed. Also Jacob has the patience of an angle when dealing with these dogs. I am so pleased with the results. Sampson is so very well trained I am in awe. I can take him anywhere and I am very proud to show off his obedience skills.I highly recommend Jacob to anyone that wants a very well behaved dog.I just can't say enough about Jacob and his facility.

BJ ENGLAND AND FAMILY

To Altamaha Canine, Jacob Weaver. Thank you for all you did for me and my 8 mths old German Shepherd Tybee She went to you so hyper, jumping on me ,and I really did not have any control of her. Tybee completed the eight week obedience training. Now she has returned home and she is so much calmer, and now listen to me. She can sit ,heal ,come, place, stay. She is a joy to be with. I recommend the facility, it is very clean, and cool in this heat. My dog was well taken care of. Tybee has learned so much the training is excellent. Thank you,

CAROLINE FORE

I want to begin by writing that just can not say enough about the improvement that we have seen in our 2 year old lab Scott following the 8 week obedience course we just completed with Jacob. It was probably the toughest 8 weeks being without our beloved dog but what a difference. Scott is simply a different dog, and I say that in the best possible way. Prior to this boot camp, Scott was an overweight alpha male that ran the house, at least when it came to my wife and son. Jumping on visitors, doing things asked of him only when he wishes, being aggressive are just a few of the problems. Being in some ways the typical disobedient 2 year puppy. With a new baby in the house, there was definitely some very stressful thoughts that have come to mind with previous state of our puppy. However following boot camp, these thoughts have disappeared. We now have an extremely well mannered obedient dog. Comes, stays, heels, places on command. Plus he returned to us healthier with a 10 pound weight loss. Jacob, our family truly thanks you for the time and effort in this transformation. I would not hesitate to refer some one to you and will attempt to refer as many folks as I can to you and your facility.

DR. MATTHEW ELLER

I spent a long time researching and searching for an Airedale Terrier. It is not easy finding a working ADT in the US and I was about to get one from Germany until I met Jacob. He has a program that really focuses on what is best for the breed. Communication was excellent and purchase and delivery was smooth as silk. But most importantly is the quality of dog I received. Great drive and balanced temperament. He turned in to such a great dog. All I can say is Jacob breeds the best Airedale Terrier in the US.

SOBHY SONBOL

When I signed my 11 month old male Doberman/Lab mix, Murphy, up for obedience school, I was hoping for a steadfast solution to his puppy antics. I had worked with him time and time again on various issues, and it never seemed to stick. I heard of Jacob and Altamaha Canine Counseling and thought it would be the solution to my frustrations. After 8 weeks of schooling, I came to pick Murphy up. What I found was an extremely obedient dog. I could not believe the transformation, and neither could my roommates and family. I now had a dog that would sit, stay, heal, go to place, come when called, not jump, and the list goes on. I'm thrilled with the results, and would recommend Jacob to anyone looking for an 8 week fix to their dog's obedience issues.

APHA-ASP PRESIDENT UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

I had the pleasure of meeting Jacob Weaver years ago, at Wolfe Animal Hospital. We’ve been taking our pets to see them for over 20 years. I learned quickly Jacob had a lot of experience with animals, and personally, with Golden Retrievers. I recalleda conversation with him about his golden, once when I was bringing my first of 3 goldens (Rusty—he passed in 2005), in for a checkup.

We lost our last golden, Abby, in June of 2016, whom werescued at 2 1/2 years old (she was almost 14). Then in November, we were surprised with a 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy, a gift to us from some of our family. We’d not had a puppy in over 20 years. When we received Copper, he was already a pretty big pup. If anyone knows Goldens, you know how hyper/active they are. Well, we could already tell he wasgoing to be the biggest golden we’d ever had. We also have 5 grandchildren, ranging from ages 6 months to 4 years old. We knew we were going to have to get him under control quickly, but we (my husband and I) were pretty rusty when it came to obedience training.

Copper was having some digestive issues for the first few months we had him. They were doing numerous tests and it was determined we needed to change his diet. I had questions about his new food and was directed to Jacob.

When Jacob emailed me, I noticed at the bottom of the email,the address for his website--Altamaha Canine Consultants. I started looking all over the site, reading testimonials, and I knew right away, he was the one we needed to train both of us and Copper. Unfortunately, all I read about was his 8 week inboard obedience training school. When we received Copper, we had no idea how lonely we had been after losing Abby. The thought of not seeing him every day for 8 weeks was just not something we were ready to do. So, I then emailed Jacob and asked him if he provided private sessions and, low and behold, he said yes!

We started training with Jacob once a week, for 6 weeks, when Copper was almost 8 months old. From day one, we could tellhe was a very smart dog and, with the correct training, he was going to do great. We met with Jacob for one hour sessions andwe would then continue to work with Copper, as much as possible, in the days between sessions.

Copper recently graduated and, I’m proud to say, he is a much better behaved puppy now. There has already been many instances where we have seen how the training is definitely paying off. He is so much easier to control, even in the midst of distraction.

We highly recommend Jacob for basic obedience training. What we’ve learned from him is invaluable. Copper is going to be the very best family pet we have ever had because of it. We know that it is all about repetition and we have to do our part,especially since we only took him once a week, but if you are willing to put in the time as well, you will not be disappointed with Jacob’s services. It was the best decision we could have made for Copper and our family.

Thanks Jacob! You are truly the “Dog Whisperer”

THE ADAMS FAMILY

In January 2015, my wife and I decided to add a puppy to our family. Little did I know the puppy I picked out, Ziggy, would turn into a gorgeous 85 pound bird dog/Labrador mix. Fast forward two + years- the three of us were living in Brantley County. At that time, Ziggy was an inside dog and didn’t have much exposure to other people or dogs. When family or friends would venture to our residence, Ziggy would become defensive of “his” house and would only approach others on his terms- needless to say, he wasn’t a social creature. In April, my wife and I learned we were expecting a baby within the year, and we knew something had to be done with Ziggy. After researching for obedience training and animal socialization, I stumbled upon a training gem, Altamaha Canine Consulting and Jacob Weaver. I spoke with Jacob on the phone and he explained his detailed three month obedience training program. At first I was hesitant to go three months without “my boy,” but knew something had to be done. In May, 2017, I dropped Ziggy off with Jacob. My near 90 pound, aggressive, barking, and self-driven dog was about to have a life changing experience. After nearly a month of Ziggy being gone, I learned that he was not your typical dog. Jacob expressed having difficulties with training him and even being able to approach him and earn his trust. That didn’t stop the continued attempts. After a little over two months of training, my wife and I went to Altamaha Canine Consulting to see Ziggy, and any progress that he had made. Again, Jacob expressed that progress had been slow, but was taking place. In addition, Ziggy was no longer a near 90 pound dog and was a svelte, radiant, 70 pound dog. After watching Ziggy listen to commands from Jacob and walk beside him without trying to bite, bark, or run away, I was very impressed. Still, Jacob asked to continue to work with Ziggy, even past the three month allotted training time. Jacob expressed that Ziggy was making progress and that he was confident that more progress could be made. After approximately four months of training, I again spoke with Jacob, and was told that Ziggy was ready to come home. As I pulled up to Altamaha Canine Consulting, Jacob retrieved Ziggy from his pen, and walked Ziggy around me, the yard, other dogs, and other workers. Ziggy didn’t bark, bite, and try to attack, or do anything other than what Jacob was instructing. Needless to say, Ziggy was a changed dog. What impressed me beyond Ziggy’s behavior was Jacob’s honesty and dedication. Jacob was honest in stating that Ziggy was not the type of dog to have around children as he did still have trust problems. During the training he explained the difficulties and accomplishments during the training. Jacob’s dedication and commitment to training and working with Ziggy was very apparent through his various training method attempts, time spent with him, and through Ziggy’s outcome. He not only viewed Ziggy as his job but as a passion and a challenge. I would highly recommend Jacob and Altamaha Canine Consulting with behavior, obedience, and handling training for any dog. Ziggy is far from perfect, but he now is an outdoor dog, listens to commands of sit, stay, and down, is in great physical shape, and he is socialized- my family and friends are able to be around him and interact with him. Thank you Jacob. My family and I greatly appreciate you all you have done!

THE ANTCZAK FAMILY

We just wanted to say thanks to Altamaha Canine Consulting for providing such an outstanding obedience program, Ember has exceeded my expectations. I could not have asked for a better instructor or kennel to send Ember to. From the very beginning you treated Ember and myself like we were family, I also love the fact that you kept me updated constantly on her progress whether it was by simply sending me a text or sending me a picture of her in action. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to send anyone else your way. I look forward to future endeavors and I am very pleased with Ember and my total experience with Altamaha Canine Consulting. I would recommend Altamaha Canine Consulting to anyone that is looking to send their dog to school for either obedience or gun dog. Again, I would like to thank Jacob and his crew at Altamaha Canine Consulting for an amazing experience.

EMBER, TAYLOR & MATTHEW

From the moment I spoke with Jacob over the phone everything was professional about his puppies. Everything went smoothly from sending the deposit, to traveling down to pick up our Airedale! The Weavers are top notch breeder’s hands down. Would recommend them for sure. Our Airedale is so special. He is part of the family and we wouldn't have it any other way!

THE GOFF FAMILY

My husband and I wanted an Aussie pup but knew they could be quiet a handful. Like anyone else we wanted a trainer for her that would really work both ways for the dog and trainer and that person is Jacob Weaver. He has extensive knowledge about the dogs and will fulfill every requirement you have as long as your dog has the ability. We recommend him one hundred per cent and would use him again.

THE COOK FAMILY

I decided to put my 7-month old German shepherd, Keziah, through Jacob's 8-week basic obedience school. That was by far the BEST decision I've made. Keziah was returned to me a completely different dog. She learned manners and confidence. Jacob was attentive professional. He answered questions and addressed any concern that I had. Even post training he continued to check in to make sure everything was still going well

DEEDEE NOEL

Chip attended Altamaha canine training services at the age of 6 months. During his experience he attended an 8-week session of basic obedience skills and then went on to retriever training for the following 3 months. On the day we want to pick chip up Jacob, showed us how and what he did to train chip to retrieve birds. Chip’s first duck hunt he was everything we could ask for in a dog. We really enjoyed having chip out there. If we ever get another dog he will also be attending there. Thank you!

THE MARTINS

I looked for a young trained Black Lab to be my pet and hunting partner for 2 years. I saw a picture on Jacob's fb page of Willie and he had the exact look I was wanting. I contacted Jacob and he sent me a video and I bought him over the phone the next day. All in all, it was a great experience. Willie is extremely well trained and very smart. The dog I got is exactly what I was told he was. Not only is he trained exceptionally well he also has a great attitude and joy to be around. I run a Saddlebred training stable and Willie goes to work with me every day. If he wasn't as obedient as he is he would be a problem around the horses. My clients love him! As active as he is when in hunting mode it’s hard to believe how good he is once we get home. I would definitely recommend Jacob Weaver for your next pup or finished dog. One of the best decisions I've ever made

DESMAR STABLES

We took Nellie, our Great Pyrenees, to Altamaha K-9 and were very happy with the results. Jacob is top notch at what he does. I now can manage Nellie. He went through all the obedience commands and then taught me how to command her. I would recommend his courses to anyone. Best thing I ever did. I now have a dog I can enjoy.

LEEANN KEEN

Catfish is a cool member of the Maddox family. After he spent some quality time with Jacob, (summer camp) he learned excellent obedience skills, commands, and has learned to be around lots of other people and animals and behaves like a true gentleman. Thank you to Jacob for training US how to interact with Catfish. He truly is a member of the family and has taught us many things he learned from Jacob at summer camp! Thank you so much, Jacob!! Love,

- THE MADDOX FAMILY (INCLUDING CATFISH GRIZZARD MADDOX)

I got my Black Lab Jet from Jacob in January 2015 he is a Lucy X Diesel puppy. I had lost my Black Lab Jewel in July of 2014 and wanted to make sure I found the right breeder and puppy for my next adventure. Jacob was very open and honest about every question I asked and I could tell he had a great knowledge of the breed and breeding. I drove from Northeast North Carolina down to Jacob’s Kennel and was impressed by his set up and willingness to show me every inch of it. He even ran Jet’s mom Lucy a few times for me so I could see her work. Jet and I compete nationally in DockDogs, Jet won two Invitations to the DockDogs World Championship for Big Air and Speed Retrieve at 20 months. I can’t say enough great things about the quality of dog I got from Jacob. Jet has more energy and go than I’ve seen in a Lab and I’ve raised them for 20 plus years. He is very quick to pick up on new things and very eager to please. I have also called Jacob to ask for training tips and he has been very helpful. If you’re looking for a great and knowledgeable breeder along with awesome puppies look no further.

JOSH GREEN

Hi my name is James Spires I want to take a minute and talk about my great experience with Jacob Weaver with Altamaha K9. A few months ago my wife Felicia Spires and I were in the market for a gundog and family pet, I got in touch with Jacob through the internet and we met and he introduced me to a dog he had in his training program, he is a black lab named Axle. I told Jacob how much money I had to go in a dog and right away we made a deal. Axle had a few more months in Jacobs gundog training program and every step of the way Jacob made sure I understood where the dog was at and how the dog was progressing with the training. Jacob always answered all the questions I had about the training and whenever I wanted to come watch axle work he always allowed me to. Jacob in my opinion is one of the best dog trainers there are me and my family have been very pleased with Axle. During the time Axle was in training I got a Boykin Spaniel named Jebb that Jacob trained, both dogs are amazing. I highly recommend Jacob Weaver he is a great guy and his kennels a very nice and very clean.

JAMES SPIRES

We highly recommend Altamaha Canine Training Services for training and boarding. Our experience has been exceptional and we’ve referred several of our friends to Jacob and his team. After training our lab came home so much more obedient and is the perfect companion we had hoped for our family. Since training we have boarded our lab as they’ve become a home away from home for our friend.

THE WILLIAMSON FAMILY

Our Honey Bear is wonderful pup. Such a great experience; she is sweet sweet - gets along with people and dogs (wonderful disposition). Full of energy and so much fun. So glad we have her. Thank you so very much.

WILLETS FAMILY

Jacob: Rich Henderson here from New York. I wanted to pass on some pictures and stories of Easy. We got New York State Certified as an EDC team right before New Years Eve. Easy's first detail as a certified EDC was Times Square. He did fantastic in all aspects of his training and works like a demon. He is relentless on large venue sweeps and out performs almost if not all of our EDC's. Needless to say I couldn't be more proud. At home he follows my wife and I around and always keeps an eye on us. He is super affectionate and nudging us for attention. He got to play in 2 feet of snow recently and had a blast. He is now wearing NYPD Detective Shield number #1033 which is also my shield number. The irony of it is that a radio code 10-33 in the NYPD is a call for a Bomb or Explosive device. It was my fathers shield for 17 years. Hope all is well and stay in touch. Oh and he is fearless. I took him to the top of the Empire State Building a few weeks ago.

NYPD EDD CANINE HANDLER R. HENDERSON

Our experience with Altamaha Canine was nothing but the best.Being first time gun dog owners, Jacob Weaver took the time and effort to guide us through the training process. Additionally, he trained my son and I on the basics of handling our retriever at the house and in the field. The best interests for our retriever and for us remained Jacob’s #1 priority throughout the training process; never placing himself about that. The obedience and retrieving skills that our dog gained under Jacob’s leadership and direction far exceeded any and all expectations we had set.Jacob remained dependable, extremely fair, dedicated to the task, knowledgeable, reliable, and easy to contact and communicate with.Everything Jacob said he would accomplish during his training program, he did. He is a man of integrity and trust.Now, 2 years post training, our lab’s skills in both the home setting and the field setting are just as sharp as the day he graduated from Altamaha Canine. We would highly recommend using Jacob Weaver and Altamaha Canine to anyone needing these services. Please feel free to ask Jacob for our contact information if we can answer any other recommendation questions related to this top-notch training program.

HAMP AND PAGE BLANTON

A typical conversation before Charlie went to train with Jacob:

Me: Charlie, Charlie, come Charlie, come on sweetie, CHARLIE COME...(repeat several times, jump up and down, etc)

Barry please come help me get Charlie.

Barry: We need to do something. Can't you keep her on a leash?

Me: She has broken 3 even the heavy duty one for extra large dogs.

A typical conversation after Charlie trained with Jacob:

Me: Come Charlie let's go for a walk around the lake. Barry are you ready?

Barry: Do you need a leash?

Me: No not really. She stays with me really well and walking is fun.

Jacob made the quality of time with my dog better. With her training we are able to enjoy her without worrying about running away and other dangerous behaviors

Hay! out there if your having problems with your dog listening to you and not giving you the respect you deserve, then do what I did and send him or her to ( Obedience School ) Mr. Jacob Weaver will train your dog to listen to you no matter what breed .My dog would not mine me at all and I couldn't even walk her on a leash after only two weeks of training I went to observe her while Mr.Jacob Weaver was working with her to my amazement she was doing very well,she didn't fight with him at all. Now after her training I have her home ,life is so much better, she is so well behave she looks forward to me working with her.Thanks to Mr.Weaver.

THE MADDOX FAMILY

Hi we are the Woods family we would like to tell you about our dog when we first got him he was very aggressive and overly payful not recognizing his own strength he would not heed to any commands because of his aggressiveness our little terrier was very afraid of him to a point where instead of going out the back door to go potty he would run to the front door. my husband decided he needed to send Rocky to school to help him learn different methods of behaviors and commands after searching for weeks we ran across a company called Altamaha canine consulting. Rocky was gone about two months and one week we were truly amazed at his new behavior when we tell him to stop heel,sit,or go to his place he does it we were so happy with these results everyone who lives in my home is able to command him and even more amazing our terrier is no longer afraid to go near him. one more thing we were pleased with the price that we were quoted and were able to visit Rocky after he settled in for a few weeks, yes we missed him but it was well worth it thanks to the staff at Altamaha Canine Consulting.
Most grateful,

Meet Duke, the once incorrigible hound, who would nearly knock me down when the door was opened to run amok. Then he would run away and be MIA for a day or two. When I take him for walks on his leash, he would drag me and twice put me on the ground. Once resulting in a black eye. When I had to leave home, and put him in the pen, I had to force him into it. Now, he still doesn't like for me to leave him, but walks into his pen without force. These better behaviors are result of an 8-week basic training course with Jacob Weaver. Duke also now walks beside me and does not bolt out like he used to do. The training made him a gentleman and much more manageable. Thank you Altamaha Canine Consulting.

My husband, Durell and I brought home our 10 week old male Golden-doodle, Buffett in late January of 2017. To say he was cute is an understatement. To say he was a handful is a HUGE understatement! Buffett was in short, one wild puppy!He was a bundle of energy, into absolutely everything, and feared absolutely nothing, except one thing-being in his crate! Durell and I didn't sleep for three months!! We loved him from the moment he came into our lives, but knew within days we were in over our heads! We needed some serious help to channel our smart pup's energy; enter Jacob.After hearing good things about Jacob and Altamaha Canine Consulting, we contacted him. Sending Buffett to Jacob's 8 week obedience training boot camp was the best decision we have made for Buffett and ourselves. He came back a transformed dog; healthy, happy, obedient, and loving life! Buffett still has as much energy and playfulness as he always did, but we are now able to channel that energy into structured learning and play that keeps him active, focused, challenged, and happy! We are much happier too! Thank you, Jacob for loving Buffett like he were your own and helping us to see what a wonderful dog he could be!

Seriously can’t thank ACC enough for the work he did with my two year old goldendoodle, Winnie. Winnie was super sweet before she went to obedience school, but she only listened to me if she wanted to.. which was hardly ever. I was afraid training would make her lose her sweet disposition, but it absolutely did not. She came back the same sweet girl she always was, only now she knows when I tell her to do something she has to do it (with only a little attitude). Jacob spent so much time teaching me how to be in control of her and has been available since I picked her up to answer any questions I have had. My only regret is not sending her when she was younger. Walks would have been a lot less stressful. I can’t recommend ACC enough!

WINNIE

We had a very pleasant training experience with Altamaha Canine Consulting. Our Brittany Spaniel, Waylon, is very high strung and independent. We needed help with basic commands. (Sit, stay, place, heel and here). Jacob fulfilled that need. We are proud of Waylon’s progress in the two month period. Thank you Jacob for a job well done!

THE WOODARDS

Jacob, we couldn’t be happier than to provide a reference for the excellent outcome with you and Taylor in training to recall with the e-collar for our coon hound Daisy. We have had absolutely amazing results with her as we continue to reinforce what she has learned there with you all. I can’t think of one time that she has failed to respond when called. Please tell Taylor how pleased we are with Daisy’s excellent care and training while there at Altamaha Kennels. We look forward to seeing you again!

Jasper came to our home as a stray. We tried finding his owners but were unsuccessful. So we unexpectedly had a new member of our family and a new puppy. We had not had a puppy in many, many years. It didn't take long to figure out we needed help. One of the best decisions we've ever made was letting Jacob and Kylee keep him for eight weeks of obedience training. His behavior is greatly improved. He follows commands and is much easier to live with. Thank you so much for helping us.

THE CREWS FAMILY

Y’all made this Mama happy. She is SO well behaved. We had a party and she was sweet to everybody from toddler to adult and stayed on her place when I needed her to be out of the way. And she was able to go in and out of the house without us getting anxious she would bolt because of the relationship we have build with her because of your good work.
