I heard about Sparks K9 through two different vets who highly recommended John. I have taken two group sessions with Sparks K9, starting with puppy socialization and recently finished Beginner Novice. The instruction is very clear and concise and very effective. The trainers are very kind to the dogs and really reinforce positive rewards. At the end of beginner novice, I had developed a great relationship with my dog, he was healing consistently, learned sit/stay, and overall was focusing on me and eager to learn. I am looking forward to Novice Obedience!

Sparks K9 is a fantastic training facility! John is very knowledgeable and does a great job with all levels of handlers and dogs. I absolutely recommend Sparks K9!

Beginning/Novice Class - if you're looking for a class where the instructor works with you AND your dog this class is not for you. The instructor talks ad nauseum for over an hour while you sit and watch. He'll take specific dogs and demonstrate what the handler should do but in four weeks I never saw him work one on one with dog and handler. He'd rather you watch the videos. I have no doubt that he is a good dog trainer, especially with tough dogs; I just don't feel his approach is for every dog - or for every owner.

I brought my GSD to Sparks K9 and participated in several classes with them. John and his team are genuinely some of the best people I've met. You can clearly see they're all about making sure the dogs thrive, and they actively help you build a strong bond with your pup. My dog adores John so much that he was reluctant to leave the facility at one point, which was quite amusing. Kim excels in communication and is so kind! I wholeheartedly recommend this place countless times to anyone seeking help with their dog. The progress my dog made and how well-behaved he is now is truly remarkable.
