Meet Jas Leverette

International Dog Trainer & Behaviorist | Founder of CALI K9® | Star of Netflix’s Canine Intervention

Jas Leverette endorsing Turbo Treats premium dog performance snacks

I’m Jas Leverette – international dog trainer, behaviorist, and founder of CALI K9®. You may know me from Canine Intervention on Netflix, where I share the methods I’ve used for years to help dogs and their owners build real structure, communication, and trust.

I’ve trained thousands of dogs across all breeds and backgrounds, and my mission stays the same: reduce dog bites, keep dogs out of shelters, and give people the tools to create safe, confident, well-balanced companions.

I’ve been blessed to share my work on platforms like The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dr. Phil, TMZ, and others — but the real work happens on the ground, helping families and trainers understand dogs on a deeper level.

As a certified Schutzhund (IGP) and PSA decoy, I bring years of hands-on experience in high-drive performance work, behavior modification, and real-world training. Whether I’m coaching a family dog or a working K9, my approach is rooted in clear communication, consistency, and balanced motivation.

My goal is simple: help people and dogs live better, safer, and more connected lives.
