Testimonials

“I cannot recommend John and Diann at Two Bears highly enough! Their expertise in dog training, particularly with puppies, is truly impressive. They have an exceptional ability to present training concepts in a way that both you and your dog can easily understand, setting the stage for a successful canine relationship. What stands out the most is their genuine passion for fostering positive connections between dogs and their owners. They take the time to explain all the critical elements that contribute to a well-balanced dog, ensuring that you grasp the nuances of training. Having experienced various training programs and techniques and now as a dog trainer myself, I can confidently say that their program is the most comprehensive and thorough in the state. John and Diann do not rely on shortcuts or quick fixes; instead, they focus on effective communication, behavior modification, and practical techniques. If you’re looking to start your puppy off on the right foot, look no further than Two Bears. John and Diann will equip you with the tools and knowledge needed for a successful training journey!”
– Chris Taylor

“I have trained two dogs (a Vizsla and a terrier mutt) with John at Two Bears over the last 8 years and immediately called them once my new pup arrived. Unlike the typical training class, John’s focus is on building a partnership between you and your dog, so your dog emerges feeling more secure, stable and engaged than when you start. You can actually watch your dog thinking and learning with each tiny action. If you’re serious about wanting a well-trained dog who can do anything you ask, give them Two Bears a call.”
– Rachael Thomas

“We have a now 6-month-old puppy who likes to pick up rocks. John told us instead of trying to grab them out of her mouth before she swallows them to instead bring the rock to us and get a big reward. The picture is all the rocks she has brought us. Over the weekend this behavior saved her life as she found a can of rat poison at the back of a cabinet when we weren’t watching her and we only know she got it because she brought it to us! We believe she only consumed a small bit and followed all the protocols the vet recommended.”
