About the Owner

As the owner, James founded Dog University Where Dogs & Owners Go To School on his philosophy of building a relationship based on love, trust, and respect between owners and their dogs. He has been training dogs for over 40 years, saving numerous troubled dogs utilizing custom behavior modification techniques. He is well known in the dog training community and recommended by many veterinarians and rescue groups in the Northern Virginia area.

James specializes in working with troubled and aggressive dogs — his training techniques and follow up training with owners has saved a tremendous number of dogs from being surrendered or potentially euthanized. His years of experience have provided him with extensive knowledge to help dogs overcome extreme fear, trauma, abuse, and neglect.

James graduated from Oakton High School in 1985 and served 3 years in the United States Army and has an Honorable Discharge. He lives on a farm in western Loudoun County with his German Shepherd, Fiona.
