Introduction
I have been working professionally with dogs for 13 years now. Immediately after high school I began working at an “open-play” dog facility. Being in the yard with the dogs for 6-12 hours daily granted me invaluable knowledge about dogs and the multitude of ways that they interact. Consequently, I became the lead trainer for employees. I was in charge of teaching new and old employees on how to better conduct their days with their dogs (preventing dog fights, accidents, chewing on furniture, humping, and other inappropriate behavior). In this role I also was tasked with handling aggressive dogs that stayed with us, special feeding instructions, and administering virtually every medication under the veterinary umbrella. Through years of practice and a plethora of different challenges with dogs and their countless personalities, I created my own training program I refer to as Paws and Lessons. I am seriously passionate about the work that I do. Sometimes dogs are misunderstood and I love clearing the blurred lines! I would be honored to assist you on your lifelong journey with your pet, New or old ones alike. Thank you so much!

About 6 months ago I added a new puppy to my family that already included 2 kids and 2 other dogs. I thought I had made a mistake , it was total mayhem in my house. I quickly realized I didn’t have any control over any of my dogs and I had just acquired the widest puppy I had ever met. My husband suggested a professional dog trainer. So, I went online and read through several dog trainer’s reviews and bios. I made the best choice and chose Johnathan Fantroy. After just a few sessions my dog’s behaviors have transformed from wild to trained dogs who actually listen to me. Their transformation is amazing. Johnathan definitely has a gift and a way with dogs that is rare. As soon as he walks through your door, your dogs instinctively know they have to behave. Johnathan is the best.

I’m very happy with the results from the four-week training program. My dog had major issues with leash pulling, but that’s no longer a problem. The commands taught during training have been working well, and the whole experience was smooth. Highly recommend!

I’ve been working with Jonathan to train my recently adopted stray dog, Blaze, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jonathan instantly connected with Blaze from our first session, which was incredible. His expertise and understanding of dog behavior have been invaluable as we’ve worked through some of Blaze's challenges as a stray. Even though we are still in the training phase, the progress has been remarkable. Jonathan’s guidance has helped me calm Blaze’s aggressive energy, allowing him to acclimate to my household. He provides clear instructions, practical techniques, and personalized advice tailored to Blaze’s specific needs. I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dedicated dog trainer. His work has made a significant difference in our lives, and I’m so grateful for his help!

It was a great experience. our dog Pogo reacted as expected “aggressively” “bitting” and “jumping”Jonathan quickly responded, He took his time to show us how to trained our dog with these behaviors. It’s a process, but we have seen some changes for the past 2-3 weeks. Definitely recommend, and will contact him again to further pogo training.
