USING COMPASSIONATE, POSITIVE, FORCE-FREE METHODS: THE MODERN APPROACH TO CANINE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT
Positive-Only methods involve building a lasting, lifetime relationship of trust between the human and dog, it means making it fun for the dog to learn and do what it is asked to do. This is accomplished by teaching the dog to ‘WORK” for a reward, which is either a treat, a favorite toy, or simply playing with you! Dogs see any type of attention, affection, activity or treat as a reward for a job done. It is much easier and repeatable to train a dog using positive-only methods than by the old methods, because the dogs enjoy doing the task and will respond willingly and much more reliably to their training!

John was really great to work with. He helped us identify where and how we need to work with our dog with his behavior at the front door/doorbell. He uses only positive reinforcement. As a dog owner, we must take the responsibility to make sure we give our dogs structure and a great life - so if you’re ready to do that, please call John - even just for a consultation - he worked with us so much and gave us a plan on how to continue to work with our furbabies.

John was amazing to work with. We reached out to him about our dog Mable who is a rescue and was showing aggression towards other dogs. He was patient, gentle, and encouraging. He not only offered us some insights into the source of her behavior, but also gave us the tools to help her. We sincerely appreciated his recommendations and left feeling like we had a plan to help her heal, as well as hope for her future. We can’t recommend John enough!! Thank you!!

John was very patient with us and our dog Apollo. We contacted him due to Apollo's severe anxiety. He would not let us approach him outside, would not come inside easily, and has had to be on a leash for the past 2 weeks at all times in the event he darts out of the door and won't come in. We rescued Apollo 4 years ago and his improvement since then has been minimal. We knew we needed outside help and contacted John due to his positive reinforcement approach. He gave us a lot of insight and tips to help Apollo break out of his shell. He also had our dog more comfortable with him then I thought he would be. We would highly recommend John for his love towards animals and their caretakers. His patience and understanding are very much appreciated and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog behaviorist to help their beloved K9. It will take time and patience, however, we are excited to open up a new world for our beloved Apollo. Thank you John!
