Testimonials

“I worked with John over the summer after adopting my dog Ophie. He was amazing to work with. He works with you to set realistic goals and provides great feedback on commands and techniques that I still continue to use every day. I would definitely work with him again when needed and highly recommend for anyone in Denver.”
– Client

“John is amazing, I appreciated his confident gentle leadership style when it comes to managing a dogs behavior. Our puppy was struggling with walking by our side and with John’s tips he started walking next to us almost immediately. I would definitely recommend John, he’s personable, easy to work with and gives simple practical tips that can improve the quality of you and your dogs life significantly.”
– Client

“Training with John has been enlightening. Not only has Cirilla’s behavior improved, but mine has too. Some of our neighbors have commented on how much less reactive Cirilla is these days. I am obviously very proud of both of us, but daaaang, we are THOSE neighbors. With John’s guidance, I have been able to show up as a better leader and friend to both of my dogs.”
