John loves dogs and does a great job in getting them to listen and obey commands. Our two Corgi puppies are progressing well under John's training. 👍🏻🐕🐕❤️

My Gladys got attacked outside a dog park and got scared of other dogs. I hired John to help her we started right away and we worked fast. Now she likes most other dogs again. I learned a lot.

I didn’t find this training to be helpful for my dog or me. During the consultation i outlined what i needed help with and i feel none of my concerns were addressed . I was given any homework to practice with my puppy, or really any advice on what i should be practicing to obtain my goals. All that was done in 3 sessions was giving my dog tons of treats and making him follow a lure, which i could’ve achieved myself . Updates response : Hi, we actually met a total of 3 times with the plan of a 4th session but i cancelled with you before we got to the 4th because i saw no progress being made. No where in my review or in my training sessions did i mention wanting to use aversives or ever even trying them out. In no way was I looking for a “quick fix” but after 3 sessions there should at least be a little progress or foundation. Luring is not a “lazy trick” but we weren’t even practicing that in real life settings with stimulation and dogs around until i got frustrated and told you i don’t see how this is helping .You did not give me “goals” to work on other than my dog following a lure which he knows how to do… any dog will follow you with tons of treats constantly being fed. It’s unprofessional and quite creepy doing ‘further research’ into my lifestyle . I went to animal behavior college for dog grooming , i am familiar in animal behavior because i have worked with animals for 4 years. Why would i hire you just to bad mouth you? I hired you in hope you would help me with a very easy biddable 9 month old golden but i saw no results and decided to part ways . I truly hope other owners don’t waste there money hoping for results one day. In the consultation you did not outline how many sessions i would need to have or what we would be working on it was a whole lot of let me feed your dog as many treats as i can and then i’ll see you next week. I am now able to walk my dog loose leash without aversives and without feeding him bags of treats with the help of another trainer !

I have 2 English springers spaniels. They needed door etiquette and John helped me. He gave me the tools I need to make my dogs obedient when guests come over. Thank you John

John has been the most helpful dog trainer that Arthur and I have used. He is incredible at what he does
