Introduction
🐾 I train YOU to execute the cues of basic life skills (sit/down, come, leave-it etc.), communicate and coexist in a mutually loving relationship with your canine. Need someone to show you how to get the dog to walk properly or "stay"? I got you covered. I teach positive reinforcement only (Using food is okay but you MUST learn to "fade the lure"). No choke chains or pinch collars...no shock involved! You'll learn to get the dog to respond voluntarily through patience, consistency and positive feedback. I specialize in puppies, 6mos and younger. *Commencement on training depends upon evaluation. Short evaluation is included in 1st session. *Discounts on pkgs. *Cancellation Policy details outlined below in FAQ

We have our hands full with two puppies and John was awesome. He has a great way with dogs and they responded instantly to him. He gave us lots of tips and answered all of our questions. Highly recommended! Thanks, John 😃

I had one session with John and my dog Pixie and I feel like it may have been one of the most enlightening hours of my life! He was so knowledgeable about behaviors and the general makeup of how dogs are dogs. I’ve already seen such a huge improvement in Pixies responsiveness and I feel like I’m already so much better able to understand her. I am really looking forward to meeting with him again- and I am honestly so happy that we found him! Thanks so much, John!!

I am so excited that John was available to lead me in training our two rescue pups. He is professional and quite knowledgeable. He takes his time in asking specific questions as to what our goals are and his gentle methods are exactly what I was looking for. The homework in between trainings are very obtainable goals and my pups are already responding after just our first session with John! If you are searching for a dog trainer, look no further, you have found your guy.

John loves, respects and understands dogs. I truly enjoyed and appreciated his gentle and effective approach incorporating positive reinforcements but no punishments. My two dogs responded to him right away and enjoyed 3 sessions of his training. I wish I had his “magic” over dogs but he taught me practical tools and knowledge that I can continue practicing and utilizing with my dogs. He has also given me the confidence and comfort that I can handle them. He answered all of my questions and concerns, and continues to be my lifeline for my dog questions. It’s my first time to use service via Thumbtack. At first I wasn’t sure if it was the right decision but I’m now grateful and blessed to find John there. I highly recommend John and having in-home dog training where a trainer can observe how your dog behaves in his daily environment. His price is very reasonable and that’s plus! Thank you John!
