Jesse is my son and has grown up with dogs his entire life. His last dog, Maddison, a lab, was a gem. He brought her up from a puppy of 3 months until she passed this past year. He trained her exquisitely to obey and yet be loving around young nieces and nephews. We (my wife and I) kind of had joint custody as Jesse would be on a job or we would be travelling. She adjusted no matter who she was with but she ALWAYS wanted to be with Jesse! Since then, Jesse has worked with horses and other animals but in my estimation, he is a dog whisperer. He senses their thoughts and they respond. Yes, he is my son but others have had the same thoughts in regards to his working with dogs he does not know. My highest recommendations.
