Testimonials
Our year old Labradoodle had a sweet disposition but no discipline of the basics. In our first training session with John he gave us enough coaching to work with Lucy during the week on “sit”, “stay”, “come”, and no jumping. John helped set up the important focus areas to teach us how to be better dog owners and handlers. High marks for John’s people and dog skills. We have continued working with John’s techniques and Lucy is a fun, well behaved dog.

John was amazing! He was very skilled and knowledgeable in his training with our dog Jackson. In just a few weeks we saw an astounding change in our pup. John is personable and kind. Not only did Jackson learn a lot we did too! We had homework and games to work on with Jackson in between lessons which made training a breeze. He is also prompt in returning emails and phone calls. I would recommend anyone who needs training for their dog to use John. No regrets, it was worth every penny!
– Client
This is exactly what we needed. We tried a group class but the instructor was too busy with one student and we didn’t even get to ask questions. John’s 1-1 training took us from the worst pulling dog in the universe to a pup that can make a whole block with loose leash walking after only 2 weeks, and I know we now have the tools to take that further.
