Jordan Ballard- Owner/ Head Trainer
Jordan Ballard is the name every one should think of when the three words: "impeccable dog training" come to mind. Jordan has years of experience in this field; not to mention elite training and special methods of carrying out his knowledge. He has worked with countless breeds, from the most aggressive shepherds, to the most timid yorkies. He completed an intensive two year dog trainer apprenticeship program where he learned how to truly understand how dogs learn and how to properly communicate with them. In addition, he studied numerous training theories and dog sports, attended several seminars, and networked with trainers all over the world. He prides himself on being able to adapt his training to what is best for the dog, rather than follow a specific method for every client. In his experience he has done work in basic and advanced obedience, personal protection, agility, tracking, and even narcotics and bomb detection. In the summer of 2012 Jordan received his Security Dog Handler's Certification through the VA DCJS. Jordan's good friend and mentor, Maynard Pease (Virginia Beach Police officer and Master Dog Trainer), took him under his wing when he was just 14 and has helped him on his journey to becoming a trainer ever since. He is currently enrolled in Tarheel K9's correspondence courses to obtain two more training certificates.
