Introduction
I have been working professionally with dogs for 12 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!

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.

Our current dog trainer, John, is absolutely phenomenal. We have a St Bernard who is almost six months old and psychotic because he is a puppy and John walked in and within minutes the dog was listening and attentive and start to immediately calm down. He is like the dog whisperer. He speaks clearly helps us as dog owners to understand what and why he is doing what he does and how we can continue the training when he is not there. We have him come once a week and he caters each session to fit what we and the dog need. His price is extremely fair and I would absolutely recommend him to everyone that owns a dog

As pawrents who have struggled with loose leash walking, I can say that Jonathan is absolutely fantastic. During the training sessions, Jonathan provided clear instructions and demonstrations making it easy for us to grasp the techniques needed for successful loose leash walking. Our walks have transformed from stressful experiences to enjoyable outings. Our dog now walks politely by our side and we couldn’t be happier with the progress we’ve made.

Jonathan was quick to reach out and schedule a time to meet with me and Burt. After just a few minutes getting to know Burt and observing his behavior, he reassured me that the behavior Burt had exhibited with the water hose was not going to be difficult to adjust. After the very first session Burt’s behavior showed significant improvement and allowed me to follow-up with some of the techniques Jonathan had demonstrated and see improvement as well. We immediately scheduled a 2nd session to work on furthering Burt’s progress. Jonathan is a pleasure to work with and took away my fears and anxiety of Burt displaying a behavior that was not correctable. I highly recommend Jonathan for his knowledge, training style and ability to connect with and understand our dog!
