The Pampered Pooch Club 325 North Tyler Avenue, Joplin, MO 64801

"Jim at The Pampered Pooch worked with my dog Hermes for just a few weeks and the difference is night and day! Hermes was VERY skittish around other dogs to the point where he couldn’t be around them. In just a few sessions, Jim changed that. He was able to walk on leash with Jim’s dog without any issues. We are so appreciative of the hard work he put into our training and Hermes loved him. Thanks Jim!"

"Wonderful place all around for grooming and for training - my service dog Sandy is top notch thanks to Jim and always treated like family when getting groomed thanks to the staff"

"Well, where to begin, Ollie was very reactive to people walking near him (lunging/growling/trying to nip) especially when we were around, barking uncontrollably at anyone who would come into the house or even the doorbell ring/knocking on the door. Jim came out and assessed the situation and said he could fix the problem, and that he did. He worked with Ollie for the first few days. Taught us how to properly correct him and reward him. I think he struggled more with teaching us than Ollie haha but he was very patient and helpful with all of us. Now, Ollie is a changed dog. We can walk him without him pulling and trying to lunge and bark at any moving thing. All of us enjoy walking a lot more now. The barking at the doorbell and people coming into the house is under control. Overall, it was a good experience for us and our dog thanks to Jim."

"We've always loved Deborah and the staff at the Pampered Pooch who care for and groom our 4 poodles. We drive all the way from Nevada!! Now they've added Jim and his excellent dog training services and we're equally impressed with him. He has given us tools to help manage our little herd... sit, down, place, wait, leave, calmly walking on a lead, public socialization... and I find myself thinking, "what would Mr. Jim do?". We will continue working on the skills we've learned during our time with Jim."

"Jim Smith done an amazing job with Daisy Mae and I in our first obedience class! Jim is retired militarily and very knowledgeable with training your pet. He has had extensive training and his background speaks for itself. Although Daisy Mae and I took the course because she was having just a couple of nuisance issues I could not break. Jim through his patients and experience shed some light on some very insightful training that will be very useful going forward. I am very amazed with this six week course that watching all the dogs from day one to graduation day how far they at all came was super amazing! However, I know it takes repetitive structure to keep your pets training a positive instead of a negative! This could not of been possible without Jim you’re teaching us the basics that you did. Daisy Mae and I do look forward to taking your advanced class sometime in the future! If you want to get positive effective training for a very reasonable price, I strongly recommend Jim Smith with Pampered Pooch Day Spa!"
