John did an amazing job with our very smart but also very stubborn 6 month old corgi. Winston will be working with me as a therapy dog so having a solid training foundation was very important. John sent us update videos daily and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with someone. We are so grateful for all the help and how much progress Winston has made. John is a great guy who does this because he truly loves working with dogs and seeing them grow. I would recommend his program to anyone looking for a solid foundation or help with any problem behaviors. He works with each dog’s individual situation and creates goals that align with your lifestyle and needs. John has also made himself available for any future questions, concerns or needs. Overall, we’ve had a great experience and feel as though it’s a great investment worth making.

Fantastic! John did a great job training our 5 year old boxer/pitbull mix Maggie. More importantly he’s also trained me & my wife on how to keep Maggie obedient & well behaved upon her return. He stayed in touch throughout showing videos & letting us know how she did while away, & offers ongoing support on her return. Can’t recommend this highly enough!

John took our stubborn, strong-willed puppy and taught him (and us) the fundamentals we need to succeed in managing his behaviors.

I highly recommend Lexington Dogs | Home Of The Dog Captain Expert Dog Training. John did an amazing job coaching me through crate and potty training with my Yorkie. I had started to lose hope that she would ever consistently use the bathroom outside, but his advice completely changed my outlook. He helped me understand the importance of consistency, routine, and leadership, which gave my dog a greater sense of security and confidence. In less than a week, I started seeing real progress. John is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and practical in the way he teaches. If you are looking for a trainer who truly knows what he’s doing, I would definitely recommend him!

This is the second dog my family has brought to John and I’m convinced there is nothing he can’t do when it comes to dogs! Our first dog was fearful of other dogs and was not able to go to public places, now we are able to take her everywhere and John not only built her confidence, but taught us how to support her so she isn’t so afraid! Our second dog we brought in as a puppy and he wasn’t exposed to much when we adopted him. He was afraid of everything new and all of the good behaviors he had at home, went out the window once we left! Now, he goes with us everywhere, is SOOOO much more confident, well behaved, calm, obedient, and everything you could want in a dog! It was like a night and day difference for both dogs! After seeing what he did with our first dog, we have and will continue to bring every dog here after to John! He cares about these dogs so much and while you miss you them during training, he sends awesome videos and updates everyday throughout! I could tell my dogs were having a blast and this training opens up a world of opportunity for us! Thank you John!!
