“ I think your website is so wonderful. I compare it to the genius of FoodTV. Many people can read a recipe but FoodTV made it so easy for people to try to cook. Watching takes all the intimidation out of it. And your videos do the same thing for all my friends. We've had doggies all our lives and then we find ourselves in over our heads with a new pet. Everytime a friend gets a new dog, I give them your videos as a gift and they all rave about it. ”

“My friend and colleague, Janis Bradley, and I read, view and test out scores of new dog training books, videos and equipment every year. We have rarely gotten so excited about any single item as we have about Watch and Train. We nearly leapt out of our chairs. The method is effective, user-friendly, science-based and completely and utterly humane. Jeff is a breath of fresh air. He knows his stuff. The delivery is clear, motivating and non-intimidating. This is no gimmick based on a high-tech concept. This is first-rate dog training. I could not recommend Watch and Train more highly.”
Jean Donaldson, Director, The San Francisco SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers,
award-winning author of The Culture Clash and Oh Behave! Dogs From Pavlov to Premack to Pinker
“I just wanted to tell you how much I have learned from your videos. We adopted a Keeshond puppy from Anti-Cruelty a few weeks ago. He is only our second dog. Our first dog was quite a bit older when we adopted him and a little easier to handle. I decided that I want our new dog, Hector, to be as well-behaved as possible, and that's what led me to your site. Hector is responding quite well to your methods. I finally bought a clicker recently and I can't believe how much easier it is to use than just my voice. This is all just to say thanks.”
Kate Ingold, Chicago, IL
“I retained Jeff’s services for personal training of my then 2 1/2 month old Portuguese Water Dog “Chimi”. To say I was blown away by the results would be an understatement. Eight months later and Chimi is just the most delightful dog I could have hoped for. After reviewing some of the Watch and Train videos, what I found was the same high level of training instructions and tips as from Jeff’s one-on-one personal sessions. I can not recommend Watch and Train highly enough, it is a great program and a bargain to boot.
What really made Jeff’s personal classes such a success for Chimi and me was more what Jeff taught me as opposed to what he taught Chimi. Without that knowledge (and that is what you get from Watch and Train), I could not have carried on the instructions and reinforcement. Training a dog is process and Jeff has defined and made that process easy to understand and use.”
John Nicastro, Chicago, IL
“Whether you’re a first-time or an experienced dog owner, Watch and Train is a fantastic educational tool! Jeff Millman proves that training doesn’t have to be a laborious chore or an exercise in physical force but rather a humane, easy and fun pastime for dogs and people alike. In each video, Jeff has succeeded in breaking down even the most complicated behaviors into a series of manageable steps, explaining and demonstrating how to get results quickly. What’s more, the methods employed are based in sound science, proven time after time to work with any dog, regardless of breed, age or personality. I plan on using Watch and Train as a referral source for dog owners who live outside of my service area.”

“When Jeff says, ‘Just do it, it works,’ he means it. We have gotten unbelievable results with Jeff's training methods.”
Tracee and Josh, Lincolnwood, Illinois
“Jeff has so far helped us raise two independent and hard-wired Chesapeake puppies into beautifully behaved family members. The most impressive aspect of working with Jeff is that as he trains he also teaches you who your dog is. I've loved dogs all my life, but after training and teaching my dogs with Jeff I experienced bonds I wouldn't have believed possible. He's a wonder.”
Janet Desaulniers Evanston, Illinois
“Experience had told me that a group dog training class would not work for me. My puppy was too distractible and I would be too tentative to make much progress. The personal attention we received from Jeff made all the difference. He immediately gained the respect and affection of my puppy, but he also connected with me. He helped me understand and use the strategies to shape my dog’s behaviors. Despite my own awkwardness, Jeff was encouraging and supportive. He helped me learn how to take charge of my puppy’s behavior.”
Suzanne, Evanston, Illinois
“Jeff embodies the power of positive reinforcement. His techniques are not only unbelievably effective, but they’re also fun for you and your dog. We recommend Jeff Millman of Watch and Train wholeheartedly and without reservation.”
Ros & Simon Gravatt, Chicago, Illinois
“Jeff is infinitely patient both with dogs and their people. He's quick to analyze a problem and is very innovative at coming up with solutions. He's made a big difference in our lives.”
Kay and Scott Morgan, Evanston, Illinois
“Jeff Millman's technique of using Positive Reinforcement is the key to his, and thus my dog's success. My Labrador actually looked at training as a ‘game’ that he wanted to play and succeed at. Having gone through other training experiences, I know this method of training to be exceptional. Jeff's instruction for both the owner and the dog is humane, clear, simple and fun. There is no negativity involved, so everyone wins.”
Nancy Baird, Chicago, Illinois
“Jeff is a patient, caring trainer and offered tons of tips and tricks that we still use today. He helped us understand our dog's needs much better, which made all of us happier. Definitely the best trainer in Chicago!”
Laura Miller, Chicago, Illinois
“Jeff's intuitiveness and absolute love of dogs makes him the finest of trainers. Any dog owner should trust him and his methods 100%. He truly knows what he is doing for the health and happiness of dog.”
Bill Heffernan, Chicago, IL
“Dear Jeff: We are doing well. Toto , I am certain, looks forward to his training sessions with you and the positive reinforcement technique has helped alot with his barking and is also pleasant for me. Daisy, as we know, is just starting her training, but has reacted positively to her training regarding her aggression towards Toto. Thank you.”
