Testimonials
Jon is a dog whisperer! He can handle ANY dog, age or breed. He knows just what to do for barking, training basic and extensive commands, bringing a dog out of his/her shell, socializing, you name it! He can handle the task. Our dog LOVES him, and he always looks for him when we go to PetSmart. It’s unbelievable the difference he can make in just a few sessions. HIGHLY recommend! Don’t think twice, and book a session with Jon TODAY!!! You will NOT REGRET IT!

We took a grouo class with Jon H and our labradoodle learned so much. Jon is patient and very knowledgeable. You won’t regret taking a class with him.

If I could give Petsmart Dog Training with Kai a ZERO I would. I have never seen or been in any class environment in my life with a leader who is so rude and arrogant. She favors dogs who are weak and hide under the chair and she makes dogs leave the room if they bark. There was no friendliness about her.
