All About Dogs

John (no relation) is an expert dog trainer and has trained three (large) dogs for us. The transformation he works with the dogs is close to miraculous--ours have gone from disobedient puppies to following basic obedience commands in a week. That is worth it and changes your relationship with your pet. He does an equally terrific job training owners how to interact and take control of their dogs. Having used other trainers, we can vouch that his methods work, while other approaches seem too complicated and did not work for us in the long term. You can spot dogs John has trained on your walks. They are well trained, heeling on the owner's left, sitting at every stop, eyes always checking their owners--not the dogs leading their owners on a retractable tether. I read another review's concern, and I can say John made completely clear to us that his board-and-train program involved him taking our dog to his home. It lives with him for the week, so this is not a surprise. John is honest and forthright. Our experience was very positive, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
