FirstBarkJohn was knowledgeable, professional and effective in explaining the root of our dog’s leash reactivity and creating a plan to make incremental improvements. His calming demeanor and patience are tremendous assets for all dogs (and humans!) who work with him. We highly recommend The Dog Clicker.

John helped me to gain better control of my active dog, who was jumping and biting me when we walked as she became overly excited. I was very upset with my dog's behavior, as we needed to walk several times a day; however , with John's patience and guidance, I have been able to walk her and I am less fearful of being bitten. Now both my dog and myself can enjoy walking. I would highly recommend John, if your dog has behavior issues.
Excellent experience! My dog walker was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely patient. He provided helpful information throughout and demonstrated a compassionate, positive training style that made a noticeable difference in my dog’s behavior. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

John did so well making our reactive rescue feel comfortable. I love that he uses positive reinforcement, fear free & counter conditioning as opposed to aversive tools. We have seen improvements in Tony’s behavior & learned new ways to exercise and play with him. Tony enjoys the training sessions & we do too! I have already recommended John to close friends & would to anyone seeking help training their dog.

We used John at The Dog Clicker over the course of several weeks to help us train our 10 year old dog, Angel who was suffering from high stress and anxiety - constantly barking and snapping at people. John was patient and optimistic. He set forth a plan to retrain Angel, and showed us how to change our own behavior to support Angel's new learned behavior and reduce the stress and anxiety in our dog. We have come a long way with Angel since our first session with John, so we are forever grateful to him for his exemplary services.
