Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Can Youngs dog training class help with aggressive dogs
Unfortunately no, Group obedience classes are not the best learning environment for dogs with behavioral issues. Group classes work best for dogs that are in a calm emotional state and are receptive to learning. Dogs with behavioral issues are heavily focused and can not process new information and put you and your dog at risk of hurting yourself or others. Individual lessons with a trainer utilizing non aversive methods would be your best option. Then over time with clear and consistent training the possibility of getting into an obedience class is likely.

I’ve been working with Jonathan for the past few months on and off as I travel often and he has been wonderful. We get together and he teaches me how to better train my dog Stella. The 1-on-1 Consultations are tremendously helpful to learn how I can better train her. Then, while I was away he had availability to board and train her. When I got back she had broken all her bad habits and I can now take her for walks in busy public areas with minimal pulling. It’s amazing! Highly recommended. He cares deeply.
Wonderful experience. I learned so many effective training techniques. Willow, the mini schnauzer, loved going to class.

My 6 month old Golden Doodle, Maverick just got back from Jonathan’s 30 day Boot Camp. It’s not an easy thing to do to let your puppy go away for 30 days, but Jonathan sure made it worth the time and money. He sent photos and videos periodically through the month. Not only did my dog grow physically while he was gone, he grew in maturity as well. He learned loose leash (which is still a work in progress), leave it, sit, down, let’s go, stay. When we picked him up, Jonathan spent close to 2 hours teaching my family how to work with Maverick and demonstrating for us…answering my endless stream of questions. He was a submissive pee’er, which I have not seen him do one time since he has been back. He was scared of situations he was not familiar with…he still is, but it doesn’t take nearly as long to convince him he is ok. I am a therapist and plan to continue training with Jonathan to hopefully get Maverick to the point of being a therapy dog. I have brought him into work a couple times with me already, and have been complimented by many on his manners. Now I just need to get better at working with him!! Thanks Jonathan for all that you have done and I can’t wait to work more with you!
Our puppy Harvey stayed 3 weeks at Youngs Dog Training. We are very satisfied with their services. The puppy learned a lot and is well trained. We highly recommend them. Jonathan thank you very much!
