He came to Napa and did a combined dog training lesson with my sister and I. He was very good with the dogs and got her crazy 6 month old puppy to learn to lay down within minute. I will be recommending him to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

On time. Considerate of each family member. Very thoughtful explanations and training for both us and our dog. We've been practicing our "homework assignments" and following John's guidance successfully so far. We look forward to continuing over the next 5 months.

John is very knowledgeable about the psychology of dogs and he came to our house to show us how to deal with the specific problems we were having at home. Taking our dog out to another trainer was not addressing our specific behavior problems at home. John is very nice and caring of our dog and we have been very happy with his dog training. He has given us the tools that we need to work on our dogs behavior and let our dog be an active member of our family.

Details: 1 dog • 1 - 2 years old • Extra large (70+ lbs) • Aggressive behavior modification • Biting • Private dog training lessons • The dog trainer travels to me

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We work with clients one on one in their home, neighborhood and where ever they want to take the dog. We do discuss and educate clients on dog behavior, dog psychology and how to build the best relationship with your dog, but the one on one hands on coaching is the key to our success in achieving our clients' goals.
