"...Jake has taught me how to lead and control my dog which he emphasizes correctly as being critical to success. He has trained me how to address all the serious behavior issues which Buddy had to include barking and attacking visitors and not staying put in his designated location."
- Brand B, Buddy the Dachshund, San Jose, CA
"...I am so relieved. Jake has so much knowledge and knows how to work with the dogs in a way that we can understand as well. I love how he explains and walks us through everything. I couldn't be happier!"

"Jake provides dedicated one on one training for both the dog and the owner. He was very willing to listen to our concerns and experiences on a weekly basis and tailored the lessons to fit our requirements. Our German Shepherd made great strides thanks to Jake and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve communication with their pet."

"We aren't just training dogs, we're saving families"
~ Harnessing Potential
Founded by a passionate and experienced dog trainer, the brand was created to fill a void in the dog training industry. Many trainers rely solely on dominance-based techniques, while others are so focused on positive reinforcement that they neglect to appropriately address unwanted behaviors. I saw an opportunity to provide a better, more balanced approach in the Bay Area.
My approach combines positive reinforcement with correction and redirection, tailored to the unique needs of each dog. I believe that every dog requires a personalized approach to training, and I insist upon also working closely with owners to help them create clear boundaries and guidance with their dogs.
My dedication to a balanced approach has earned a loyal following, and have expanded my services to include behavior modification, private sessions, group classes, and basic training through one-on-one sessions. My goal is to create harmonious relationships between dogs and their owners, resulting in happy, healthy, and well-behaved dogs while simultaneously creating an easier life for you, the owner.
My reputation for professionalism and expertise continues to grow, and I'm committed to providing exceptional service and support to all of my clients. I believe that a balanced approach to dog training is the key to success, and I'm proud to be at the forefront of this movement in the industry.
I have helped hundreds of dogs all around the country since I started working at age 16. Before then I was always training my own pets which included dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and squirrels. My principles are so simple and realistic that I've even been able to help people keep their horses and goats from running away.
Demand for my advice is rising at a rate I can hardly handle. I plan to make my advice more public soon through videos and blogging. My goal is to be hosting group classes all over the country within the next couple of years. I would definitely recommend scheduling a consultation with me before there is a wait list where it takes me weeks or months to become available or my prices go up.
At Harnessing Potential Dog Training, my primary goal is to create and easier life for dog owners. By going above and beyond to help you reach your goals, I know that soon you'll be able to trust your dog off leash without needing to reinforce them with treats the whole time. You will be able to trust your dog around children, other dogs, vehicles, and any other stimulators. You will also feel confident in your own ability to be the leader that your dog needs and desires. All with methods that are so easy to learn, your 6 year old can do it too.
For years now, I've been providing the highest quality and most advanced private dog training services at Harnessing Potential Dog Training in Morgan Hill, CA and all around the Bay Area in California. I'm proud to offer exclusive services, including our behavioral packages for dogs at your home, or somewhere else in the Bay Area that is a great environment to train dogs in. Here, you can find what my clients have to say about their experience training their pets with me.

Jake is a great dog trainer! I have 2 Golden Retrievers, ages 7 and 2. He personalized his training methods for my unique situation, including home visits. We worked on indoor manners, walking with no pulling, to name a few things… He also gave me a lot of important tips about me being the leader of the pack, not them, as well as very useful information regarding which choice of collars to use, food and treats, etc… I would highly recommend him to anyone. I plan on doing more sessions soon.

We have spent a couple of weeks training with Jake now and I know for a fact once we have gone through 6-8 weeks our dogs will be completely different dogs. Jake has so much knowledge and knows how to work with the dogs in a way that we can understand as well. I love how he explains and walks us through everything. My dog after two weeks has shown so much improvement and I couldn’t be happier!
- Denise H.
Jake is very knowledgeable about dog/human interaction. He communicates clearly and is patient with both! He will listen to your concerns about your dog, and help create goals to work on. It’s clear that he has a passion for this work. Thank you, Jake, for helping us with Zoe’s training.
