Testimonials
“We were referred to Good Behaviors K9 Training by the owners of Jeanne’s Doggy Daycare. John offered to do a private session with us. He was extremely helpful and gave us a lot of great homework. John taught us how to be more assertive leaders for our shelter dog so she can feel less stressed. He is very communicative and even asked us for progress updates later on. We only needed 1 session with him to understand our dog more, and for us to practice being trustworthy owners. I would gladly go back to John in the future if we need more guidance.”

About the Trainer
Good Behaviors K9 Training, led by John Bafaro, ABCDT, offers dog training services focused on building a strong, balanced relationship between dogs and their owners. John uses a balanced training approach, prioritizing positive techniques while incorporating mild corrections only when necessary.
He emphasizes leadership, purpose, and praise over treats, helping dogs learn to work for attention and structure. Training is framed as a lifelong process, not a one-time event, with the goal of creating calm, confident dogs through clear roles and consistent guidance.

John’s methodology is rooted in the belief that dogs thrive when they have a trustworthy leader, similar to how children benefit from clear boundaries and attention. He works with owners to improve their leadership skills, helping them become more assertive and communicative with their dogs. His clients often see significant progress after just one session, with ongoing support available as needed.
