Couldn't recommend Jawaan and his team highly enough. He has totally changed my dog, and has changed the way that I handle her. Do yourself a favor and invest in ESD!

Jawaan and Jason have been excellent. They've not only taught our puppy Penelope wonderful tricks and core obedience lessons, but they're personable and punctual. We'd recommend anyone with a dog give them a try.

Great guy who truly loves his work with dogs. He did a wonderful job at taking my adopted dog to be a social companion that is a pleasure to own.

I can truly say the training Jawaan did with my dog was life-changing. I did a month board and train with Jawaan when Murray was about 7 months old. Jawaan taught me how to establish clear rules in my home and as a result, Murray seems so much happier. He no longer barks for attention, he is great on walks, his recall has improved drastically, and he knows all of the basic commands. In the past, Murray constantly needed my attention. Now, he is content to chew a bone in his bed or play with his stuffed animals. He is relaxed, affectionate, and we frequently get stopped by strangers on our walks who comment on how well-behaved he is. It's clear Jawaan has the technical skills needed to effectively train dogs (and their people!) and equally important, he treated Murray as if he was his own. I cannot thank him enough.

I highly recommend Jawaan's dog training skills, he has been wonderful with our one year old pit bull mix. He started working with us every few weeks starting when our dog was 5 months and didn't know many commands and was jumping like crazy on and off leash. Jawaan is teaching us ways to engage our dog on walks and harness his energy. He is also good at letting us know in a nice way when we are letting our dog get away with too much or need to be more strict. You can tell he really loves dogs and is really passionate about his work. We are still working with him monthly and really enjoy it!

Jawaan and Jason can tackle any issues you have with your dog.  Your best friend will be the best version of itself after a few sessions with Jawaan..  My dog a French bulldog named Matisse decided to take on the alpha roll and wouldn't listen to me at all.  Walks were extremely unpleasant, he had major ADD when out in public, and was a major jumper in people.  I have been working with ESD for a couple of months and how my baby Matisse is now is night and day.  It brings a tear to my eye now when I go for walks with Matisse and people compliment me on how good he is..   Thanks for all your hard work with Matisse and also on training me to be the best Alpha mommy..

So many good things to say about Jawaan and Jason so where to start? My dog Pepper loves, loves, loves them. Better yet, she listens and learns every time we meet. Even better, so do I. 
Every session is chill but focused, fun but productive. Flat out, best trainers I've worked with. They live the name, Every Single Day.

Best dog training! Jawaan has helped me and my (no longer) reactivate pit bull beyond my expectations. When I adopted my dog from the shelter, he was super sweet but a terrible walker, pulling the whole time. He didn't know any commands and went nuts when he saw other dogs. On top of that I am a first time dog owner. Besides expertly guiding my pittie (he's a totally different dog now), Jawaan has been so patient and effective training me! He explains the methodology and provides great feedback so I can continue to work my dog on my own - every single day. I feel so much more confident in my ability to lead, train, correct, and reward my dog appropriately.  I'm not exaggerating when I say it has changed our lives.

Five stars isn't enough. Jawaan and his team are the best. Our dog had fear based aggression issues. He is a sweet pup but came from a puppy mill and had preexisting issues when we rescued him from PAWS. We tried countless trainers and boot camps but nothing was working. Every professional trainer we worked with told us there was nothing we could do. Then we met Jawaan. Rather than immediately trying to implement some generic training technics, Jawaan took time to get to know us and our dog. He developed a program that fit our needs, was patient with us and most importantly instilled confidence in our ability to remedy the issue. After following Jawaan's lead, we were able to help our dog overcome his fear based aggression. I can't recommend Jawaan and his team enough. They are true professionals and even better people.

Every Single Day Dog Training has literally saved our lives. My fiancé and I have a 2 year old bulldog, whom we love very much, but things with her were getting out of control. Instead of us walking her, she was walking us. She ruled over our domain setting her own rules (mind you, we had to realize this was all because we let her set these rules), bounced off the walls of our home, and was starting to show signs of aggression. We were starting to feel hopeless. In come Jawaan and Jason. We have known and been working with Jawaan for about a year now, and because of his training, WE are now in control of our pup. Jawaan is nothing short of a dog whisperer. With ten years of experience he is absolutely in tune with the relationship you have with your dog. He was able to help us realize WE as dog owners had equally as much work to do as our dog. He was able to teach us the skills we needed in order to guide Molly down a path of success. We just finished up a week long boot camp program with ESD Dog Training and it's literally like we have a new dog. Calm. No more pulling, no more ruling over our house. We are now able to enjoy our time together as a family, rather than constantly be stressed. We will be forever grateful! I highly recommend Jawaan and Jason for your dog training needs, they are truly a blessing!

Jawaan Jackson is an expert trainer that has been working with my dog "Leo" for over a year. His attention to detail and understanding of canine behavior is second to none and even after a year, I find myself learning something new after each session. 

I've been recovering from a serious injury during this time and Jawaan has repeatedly gone out of his way for for me. He has trained Leo from basic engagement and foundation work, through very advanced behaviors such as off leash recall and heeling. 

Leo absolutely adores him and his dogs, comes home fulfilled and content after each session, and I humbly credit Jawaan’s training and in-home management plan as the primary reason I was able to work through my health issues and keep my beloved Leo.

**THIS IS THE BEST DOG TRAINING SERVICE IVE BEEN TO!** 
I have 4 dogs and has been to many trainers in my life time. And let me tell you, I am seriously convinced that Jawaan is a dog whisperer!!!! I've only trained with him a few times but that's all that it takes with this guy! 
Immediately upon walking in, you will INSTANTLY notice that your dog feels his presence. His ability to communicate with you on how to train your dog after he leaves is better then anyone that I ever worked with. PICK THEM!

Excellent !!!!! Excellent first visit! My 2- 100lb puppies learned some new moves. I feel more comfortable with their weight and walking. Jawaan knows what he’s doing

We love Jawaan!!!! He has helped us train our puppy and also really helps train my husband and I and our kids! He loves what he does and it shows. He is so knowledgeable and seriously has an easy solution to any bad behavior that comes up with our dog. He is so hands on but makes sure you also have the tools to correct your dog, so that when he leaves you know what to do. I’m so glad we found ESD dog training, so so so highly recommend.

Jawaan and his team are the best dog trainers in Chicago. I've done both one-on-one training and group training and my dog and I have benefited from both. You can't go wrong with ESD.

Jawaan and Jason are great. They are the Chicago dog whisperers!  I went to them to help Danni with leash pulling.  I also love the "power hours."

As first time puppy owners, our friends recommended Jawaan to help us get Rosie settled. I cannot explain how grateful we are for his support and the lessons we had with him. Jawaan takes a very easy to follow and individualized approach with each dog and spends a lot of time checking in and making sure that he can support us with any questions we have. We now know what motivates our dog, how to approach her learning and discipline and the confidence that we are great owners. I am so happy that the lessons Jawaan provided built our habits for lasting growth and a great companionship with our Rosie!

Jawaan is an amazing dog trainer. I went to thinking there was no way for my dog to be trained, to seeing results in less than a day. I highly recommend him!
