We have been waiting months for a refund from John because we cancelled our contract with him. We paid $775 for 8 sessions and decided to cancel after 2. In our contract we could cancel within the first 3 sessions and get refunded for any unused sessions. The trainer was insisting on a spike choke collar for our dog and we refused. Obviously the values of this company did not line up with ours and we do not want to continue with them. Well, we still have not received the refund of our money and we’re out hundreds of dollars for nothing. TOTAL FRAUD. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. Read the rest of the reviews. Many people with our same story. I wish I would have researched the company more carefully
