Hazel being the sweetest girl.
Danielle L.

I found Jonathan on Yelp one week after we got our 6 month old Pomeranian puppy, Hazel. I was concerned we weren't going to be able to keep the puppy, as I failed to realize how difficult it was going to be. We needed to work on potty training amongst many other things. I was overwhelmed. After the phone consultation, I was immediately relieved and felt reassured that we would be able to keep our sweet dog, given the tools that Jonathan would equip us with. He came to our house and after just one session, I felt so much more confident in what to do. He gave me and my family the tools we needed to be Hazel's leaders. We worked on crate training, potty training, social interactions, and basic commands. After every session Jonathan followed up with emailed written bullet points of what we had worked on. This was so helpful, because it really is the humans that need the training. He is giving you so much amazing information during the session, it can be overwhelming to try and remember it all. He made it easy and almost effortless. The biggest win for us was our last session with Jonathan. I had planned for my Dad to come over, because Hazel had been barking at him for a long time every time he came over to my house, as well as acting scared of him. Jonathan coached me through the whole interaction, from the ring of the doorbell, to only a short while later, Hazel being completely calm and loving towards my Dad. It was miraculous!!! Jonathan is truly an amazing dog trainer, and I would recommend him to anyone with any type of dog. I really can't put into words how appreciative I am to Jonathan. We love Hazel SO much and she has melded into our family seamlessly since working with Jonathan. Thank you Pack Leader Dog Training!!!

My dog he worked with.

Plain and simple. Tells you what is needed based on the goal, teaches you about the environment, and doesn't leave anything out. Highly recommended for those who are looking for someone to guide you the way. Nothing is impossible.

We had seen Jonathan training another dog in our neighborhood and we are so glad we asked him for a business card! We adopted our dog from Milo in Point Richmond in August 2023. She's a corgi, pit bull, cattle dog mix named Jada and is missing an eye. She was found in the streets of Fresno and has a lot of reactivity issues. We worked with other trainers before who weren't the best for Jada's needs. We are so happy with Jonathan's training! He knew from the consultation that she wasn't mean, her bark wasn't threatening and her missing an eye plays a big part in why she is the way she is. Just from that one session, we learned how to properly walk her with a prong collar and Jada instantly got it and learned to walked by us and not pull us the entire time! We are always carrying our treat pouch and clicker to counter-condition her to dogs and things she would bark at before, and it's helped so much. We were so amazed at how quickly Jada caught on. Jonathan gave us the right tools and ways to correct and train our baby. He's also big on graduating her up from a prong collar to a martingale and eventually just using a flat collar. I'd recommend him to anyone that's looking for training for their dog, no matter the situation or age. He's been wonderful to work with and we'd book him again in a heartbeat if we needed a refresher for Jada or wanted to work on something else.

I highly recommend Jonathan. He offers individual personalized dog training in your home, around your schedule. He helped us with our 3 year old rescue dog that was becoming increasingly aggressive with people & kids, especially in our home. Our first session was incredible. After spending time watching how we interact with our dog and how our dog moves around our home, he was able to pinpoint what steps we needed to take to bring more discipline & order into our dog's life. Jonathan gave us a detailed plan verbally and in writing, which included training drills to run with our dog and a mapped out plan for what to do when we have visitors. As a bonus, Jonathan also greatly helped us with walking both of our dogs, offering equipment and walking tips that have seen a MASSIVE improvement in the quality of our walks. We have had such striking improvements in just 4 sessions and we discovered our dog loves the training, making it all the better. His clear communication and ability to bridge the gap between us and our dogs has resulted in a huge improvement in the quality of life for both us and our dogs. I'm very glad we reached out to Jonathan!

Floki
Margaret S.

My partner and I were going back and forth on hiring a dog trainer for Floki, our doberman, and after many google/yelp searches, we decided Jonathan seemed like a good fit because he has a lot of experience with working dogs. After the first session, Floki's leash walking already improved tremendously on the prong collar and we have even started walking Floki through certain areas just on a flat collar. Another big thing that I wanted to work on was being more comfortable using the e-collar. Jonathan showed us how to find the correct setting and most importantly showed us the timing in saying the command and pressing/releasing the e-collar stimulation. He also taught us how to eventually phase Floki off of the e-collar. With 5 sessions, Floki's attentiveness to our commands has improved tremendously and we're able to mentally stimulate Floki through training so he's much calmer throughout the day. Lastly, it also taught my partner and I effective ways of training that Floki is responsive to! I highly recommend Jonathan, if you're looking for a dog trainer! He was attentive, easy to schedule sessions with, and fun to work with!

We reached out to Jonathan based on positive Yelp reviews and we are so glad we did! We adopted our staffy/putbull mix, Ember, 1.5 years ago and although we had worked with a trainer over Zoom, we felt it was time to get some at-home training. The issues we wanted to work on with Jonathan included Ember's leash reactivity and fence fighting with neighbor dogs, high prey drive (always chasing squirrels on walks and in the yard), and over-excitement with guests (barking, jumping, not leaving guests alone even after being at our house for hours). In the initial evaluation Jonathan understood our issues, observed Ember in our yard and on a walk, and made helpful suggestions. He switched us to a prong collar (instead of the gentle leader we had been using) and taught us how to be more in control on walks. Our walks with Ember began to improve immediately based on his instructions. We ended up doing 6 sessions with Jonathan. We started by focusing on recall, the "place" command, and leash walking, all using the clicker. By marking commands with the clicker we noticed improvements in Ember's behavior, including turning to us for a treat when fixated on a squirrel or dog. During the third session we decided to switch to e-collar training with Jonathan. He helped us understand the e-collar as a communication tool with our dog, not punishment. He gave us specific homework to work on each week (1. Place 2. Recall 3. Leash walking (Heel) 4. Non-verbal recall) and we found his program to be very helpful. Our work has already started to pay off and we are much more able to contain Ember's excitement with guests. Last night we hosted a dinner and Ember sat in place on her bed for most of the meal (something she previously would have never done). We have a lot more practice to do but we feel Jonathan equipped us with the tools we need to confidently train Ember and eventually use the e-collar less. We highly recommend Jonathan as a trainer. He is punctual, communicative, encouraging, and direct. He gave us the confidence and tools to be even better dog parents.

Moose is on the right track thanks to Jonathan!
Roshan S.

It's difficult to express just how thankful my wife and I for getting Jonathan's help with our new pup!! If you're unsure about how to read your dog's behavior, how to be a responsible owner, or how to make adjustments in your own life to do right by your pup, Jonathan is 100% your guy. When we adopted an 18m old australian shepherd (Moose) that struggled with anxiety and didn't know how to interact with other dogs, we constantly worried about doing the wrong thing. There's almost too much information online, and we weren't sure whether the advice we were given by our friends/family was necessarily right. Jonathan offered us a strong framework/mental model for understanding Moose's behavior AND a concrete plan for training the right way. As others have said, Jonathan is thorough, intentional, and incredibly structured in his approach. Beyond that though, Jonathan is a wonderful listener and acknowledges the nuances that make dog ownership a tricky affair. Some examples: - How should we interpret our dog's whining when we crate him? - How do we react when our dog lunges/barks at another dog on the street? - Can we let our dog off leash? If not, how do we train our dog so that we can? - What situations should we avoid to ensure our dog is safe? - How do you reinforce training? How often? What situations tell you you're on the right/wrong track? Jonathan gives it to you straight when you need it, and puts your concerns to rest when you don't need to worry. If you're on the fence, I hope this testimonial helps in a small way because i'd gladly recommend him without hesitation based on the progress we've seen.

Boba 8 month old cane corso

We had reached out to Jonathan to train our 6 month old cane corso puppy. Jonathan was overall very professional and knowledgeable. He gave great recommendations that would fit our lifestyle and the outcome we wanted for our puppy. For our sessions we worked on crate training, place training, basic commands and leash/heel work. For our puppy heel and Leah training was more difficult due to our puppy's personality and breed but Jonathan gave us great strategies to continue to work on with our puppy. Overall the training benefited us, helped us become better pet owners and paved the way for our puppy to be trained. Thank you so much Jonathan!

Scotty 1 year old rescue puppy, a happy, smart lovable guy!

We had a few moments where our 1 year old dog Scotty would randomly show aggression towards people and dogs. I called Jonathan a little frantically for help and he came to our house the next day for a consultation visit with us and Scotty. Jonathan reassured us after that visit that Scotty was still a very trainable dog. We then start a series of 5 training sessions which were beyond helpful! We worked on spot training, crate training, muzzle training (for the vets office), leash training and basic commands. We are relieved to not have to worry any more and that's thanks to Jonathan! Scotty took quickly to Jonathan which made training fun and enjoyable. We highly recommend giving Jonathan a call and working with pack leader dog training!

Luna waiting to board a plane to Denver

Jonathan is amazing! I can't say enough great things about him. My parents have an 11 month old french bulldog Luna who goes everywhere with them. She has the basic commands down but her being a friendly puppy, every dog she came across she wanted to charge at, not out of aggressiveness but only because she wanted to play. Knowing not all dogs know that she is friendly, we needed help to stop that behavior especially taking her in public places. They also needed advice on how to stop her from charging at people walking by with dogs in front of their house while she sits outside in front with them. Again, only because she wants to play. Jonathan was recommended to us, so we hired him to help us with training to stop the charging behavior. That was the best thing we did. He first started with an evaluation meeting at the house, then followed by 3 sessions. One session at the house to help us with the front house charging. After an hour of training and helping us with the right training tools, Luna has definitely showed major improvements. She can sit and watch people and kids walk by with no problem. When people with their dogs walk by we just have to be aware and remind her and guide her. She is definitely progressing. The next two session were in a public setting of our choice. 3 session's may not sound like a lot but in just those 3 sessions, the difference in Luna's behavior in public when noticing a dog or any other distraction was a whole 360 change. It literally amazed my parents and I. After each session we would get in the car and couldn't stop talking about how great Luna did due to what Jonathan taught us. His knowledge of the dog's personality, their different head and body movements and what they mean is mind blowing. In just those few sessions and all the tools Jonathan gave us to work with, Luna has made huge strides. Every time we take her out/they take her out, you can see she continues to progress. Jonathan is very professional and provides great communication. With my parents being older, they loved how he was very clear and took the time to explain everything and the reasons why he would do something. During our session we loved how he never made you feel rushed and literally guided us walking side by side talking us through each step as we were training Luna. When people ask about Luna's update on her training and how she's doing I rave about Jonathan. If you are looking for training for your dog, he is definitely the person. Luna loved him right away!

Moana, a 6-year-old husky/lab mix, at the vacation resort (the mat is her own).
Jennifer L.

Moana would give Jonathan and Vivian 10 stars if she could! She first met Jonathan for training lessons after she was adopted from the Pinole shelter in April. At the time, she was a skittish and undisciplined 6-year-old husky/lab mix who had lived in at least two different households before the shelter. On the day that she came home, she jumped out of the car and ran away into a parking lot on San Pablo Ave while I was attempting to put her in the car. (Freedom!) Three adults had to wrestle her back in the car, manage her at bathtime, and hold her down to apply Frontline to her. Less than a week later, she pulled my dad to the ground in a frenzy that involved killing a skunk. She took the six-week package and spent Saturday afternoons in the spring learning the basics like how to sit and stay-- something her previous owners hadn't bothered to teach her. (Yours truly taught her not to jump on people and furniture) She is also better on the leash now. Doesn't pull as much anymore, unless she sees a cat or squirrel. As the months have gone by, she has calmed down and is much better behaved now. When she hears me say, "Hey!" in a certain tone of voice, she knows to stop doing whatever it is that she's doing. Come vacation season, aka summer, this lucky gal got to go to the resort at Jonathan's house a whopping three times! She just came back a week ago from the last trip, and she gets so excited when she realizes where she is going. She gets plenty of attention, walks, and even mini obedience lessons while she is there and **she always returns better behaved because of that.** I don't think she misses me when she's there. Moana loves it here and would be disappointed to know that there aren't any more getaways planned for a while.

My 3 year old pitbull Leo!
Sophia B.

Jonathan was excellent. I contacted him regarding my pit bull and he has had a lot of experience with pit bulls so it was really reassuring. He came to my house for our first session and really wanted to know my dog in detail and what we needed help with. He was very motivating and encouraging toward us and our dog. We already see improvement from our dog just in the first session. We had a great experience with Jonathan and look forward to working with him in the near future.

See all

I realized how stressed I felt taking them to a vet boarding place, where my fur babies sit in a jail cell mostly isolated from people and fun. Bonnie interviewed my dogs and assessed whether they were a good fit and could get along with other dogs. She and Mike had no problem with my anxious and chatty hound/shepherd mix or grounded and stubborn carian terrier. They jumped right in the mix and had SO much fun! Bonnie made sure to send me pictures of them at rest and play, while we were away, which helped us relax and have fun, too. They have a great yard with fenced in areas, which allow for separation if needed. I think most of the time the poochies run and play, and then crash at night from a long day of fun. They really know dogs, and I was impressed at their compassion and humor while also keeping a watchful eye on how the dogs interacted with each other.

When we first reached out, our…read moreSpringer Spaniel, Checkers, was fearful, anxious, and often growled at my spouse and sometimes even at our kids. We had already tried multiple trainers, different techniques, and even followed our vet's suggestion to try antidepressants--but nothing was helping (in fact, the medication only made things worse). The moment I spoke to Kathy on the phone, I felt confident she truly understood the problem and could guide us in the right direction. And she absolutely has. Over the past year, Checkers has made tremendous progress thanks to Kathy's knowledge, patience, and the clear guidance she gave us. We followed her suggestions carefully--even switching vets based on her recommendation--and the results have been life-changing. Earlier this year, we had to travel out of the country and trusted Kathy to board Checkers. During that time, he developed a beautiful bond with her partner Dan. This was nothing short of amazing, as Checkers has always been fearful of men. Watching their relationship grow has been such a gift. With Kathy's help (and the influence of her own two balanced dogs), Checkers has learned how to be a dog--something I once thought might never happen. He now participates in pack walks and can even run off-leash in the fields, something I couldn't have imagined a year ago. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior and feel like nothing is working, do yourself and your dog a favor and call Kathy. She and Dan have changed our lives, and I am endlessly grateful for the care and dedication they've shown to Checkers and to us.

The way it works is you purchase a token at the cash register (I think there's a usual deal of buy 3 get one free). I believe 1 token is about 20 minutes total of wash/soap, rinse and dry. They've got 5 bathing stations and one of them has its own wall that's convenient for those dogs that just can't be too close to another dog. They supply you with everything you need - each station has it's own water hose that includes the shampoo (3 different options), they also supply extra shampoo if you need it, aprons, and clean towels. The staff keeps this area very clean and are pretty quick to cleanup the stations after people leave to get it ready for the next person. It's probably busiest during the morning and there could be long lines but so far I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes and luckily my dog is more patient nowadays. There is also an emergency button that can be activated in case a dog decides to get slippery and escape the tub! I haven't seen it used (thankfully) but I think it's designed to ensure all doors are closed so the dog can't get out of the building. My interactions with all the staff at different occasions have all been very positive. Whether it was a question about baths, food, supplements, first aid, or treats they have all just been helpful, very knowledgeable, and always friendly!

About two or three weeks ago, they scheduled me for an initial assessment, where they would assess my dog and figure out the best place to put him. I told them my dog is very vocal but that is normal for his breed (hes a husky). The assessment went great, my dog did very well, and he stayed there for half a day. Additionally, I was told to get him the canine influenza vaccine, which I did. The week after, I scheduled him for doggy daycare to get him used to it. The visit went well. They told me that my dog did great. He was vocal at the beginning, but he settled in. I said great. Nothing else was said to the contrary. The week of my vacation, I check the portal. It said my dog was still on the boarding waitlist. I called to confirm that he would be boarded and checked to see if they saw his updated vaccine record. They placed me on hold for a while until the man who did the initial assessment came on. He informed me, much to my surprise, that since my dog is still anxious (he barks, which is his normal), they would not be able to board him until he has a few more visits. I am very disappointed at Metro Dog. I feel like my time and money were utterly wasted. I followed their protocol and got my dog used to this place, and they declined my boarding request at the last minute. I now have to scramble and see if I can find another boarder for vacation. I am also very disappointed at the lack of communication. If I had not called them to check, I would not have known that he was declined. I received no indication that he would not be able to board by Metro Dog. I wanted to love this place but I am so good on Metro Dog.

He was impossible to take a walk, we could not answer our front door, he terrorized the cats. The best thing about Dan is his method and approach. No prong collars, no harsh methods, no bark collars. He teaches you to "speak dog". He explained how dogs communicate with each other. He helped us understand Wally has anxiety from basically not having boundaries. His tools of choice are your "bark", a squirt bottle and baggie full of water. All gentle but so effective. We have had 3 sessions. The first was some basic commands and behavior corrections. They worked! I could answer my front door without him running out or just going crazy. The 2nd session we got potty training help. Wally had been doing well until our older dog got sick and had accidents. After that he only went in our house. We started using Dan's suggestions. The 3rd session was like magic and the skies opened giving us a new dog. We took Wally on a walk with Dan and he was a different dog. No lunging, no climbing up the leash or going berserk when he sees other dogs. Now he is a pleasure to walk-he heals, he minds us. Potty training is amazing. He has not gone in the house since the last session. Today I was in the yard with our cats. They have a fenced area. Normally Wally would be uncontrollable and trying to get to the cats. Today he just stood there when I corrected him. I cannot recommend Dan and Bark Busters enough. Gentle corrections, simple methods and immediate results. If you do what he says you get an amazing dog.
