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. 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! - ******************

We had aggression, jealousy, possessiveness and some other non-desirable traits of our youngest boxer towards our other two, he would constantly attack our oldest Boxer, which caused a lot of tension and anxiety for us with the other two dogs in our home. We were at our wits end and thought we might have to rehome him, so we decided as a last-ditch effort to see if additional training would help. Johnathon came in and immediately saw our problem and gave us tools and direction with all of our dogs and their behaviors in all the problem areas we had, and he explained their personalities, hierarchy and traits. After 3 sessions, and with his direction we have a different household and a more relaxed environment. It was money well spent. Johnathon is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and easy going, and our dogs especially our trouble child he took immediate control of the situation. We can't thank him enough for his help and guidance with our Pack and will definitely use him again if needed. I would score 10 stars if I could. Thank you, Johnathon, for all your help, I don't think we could say it enough, I just wish we would have thought to get a picture of you and Styx. If your ever in our neighborhood, please stop in and say Hi. Thanks again, Jerry, Suzanne, Montana, Coco, and Styx Beall.

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!
