We had Jonathan as our trainer. I couldn't have asked for a better person to take on my pup! Athena is a one and a half year old pitbull. She could listen but only when there was zero distractions. She loved to jump to greet people and did not have the best social skills. And of course, because of her breed, not everyone was as forgiving to her manners. I chose the 2 week boarding option for my little girl. Jonathan was always available when I wanted an update, picture, or video. He also encouraged me to message him anytime I thought of any other things Athena needed correcting. I expressed to Jonathan I really would enjoy bringing athena to social settings, like the farmers market. So he accommodated my needs with the environment he trained her in. Two weeks later, I had a different dog! Her personality was still there but she was so well mannered and it seemed like she was proud of herself and enjoyed listening to commands. Jonathan walked me through what he trained her on and what I needed to do to make athena successful. Jonathan checked in as well as I sent him updates. After a week Athena kept challenging me and I felt like I was not doing the best of job. I knew she was trained, but I couldn't get her to listen as well as she listened to Jonathan. Jonathan stated he was available any time. Most people say that and do not mean it. But I messaged him to say I am having troubles. He met me immediately the next day and spent HOURS with me and my dog! He encouraged me, pointed out things I needed to change, and ensured Athena and I were successful! It's been around three months since training and Athena is so great! We go to the farmers market, she can sit calmly at restaurants with distractions, she does not jump on people! And I get the best compliments that she is so well trained. Thank you Jonathan!
