I called John for help with my dog reactive/aggressive Great Dane. We had used other private…read moretrainers and group classes and were hitting a wall. John's philosophy got us headed in the right direction. The training wasn't easy, but our dog had amazing obedience skills when we were finished with John. John was gentle, and explained why he does what he does. Unlike some dog people, John has people skills. The private trainer we used before him communication skills weren't top notch so John was like a breath of fresh air. He did use choke collar and corrections, but told us that our dog was so sensitive we would maybe use a 3 on a scale of 10. Ultimately we turned to positive reinforcement, but our lives were better for having worked with John.

I like to look around at other dog trainers on Yelp and came across the guy who trained me! I must…read moresay...I am VERY surprised he doesn't have 5 stars! I was trained by him in 2002 and have one of the most successful dog training companies in Los Angeles. The great thing that I can do that most can't (or are not willing to) is offering all techniques/methods. One method is never going to work with all dogs...period. I learned them ALL from John. In my early days of training, he flew down to help me with a German Shephard. People could not go near him without being straight up mauled. The only person the dog trusted was the my client's boyfriend (the actual owner) who had just passed away. She "inherited" the pup. After just a few days (after the dog attacked a runner and also wouldn't allow anyone in the house) she realized she either had the option of putting him down, or taking a stab at getting the dog to atleast be controlled. I had to teach the woman through a screen door because the dog went after me several times (I tried to take the leash several times, but he wouldn't allow it). 3 weeks went by and I still couldn't touch him so I called John. He came down and within 30 minutes, i was petting him. The owner was so overjoyed that she cried like a baby. When he touches a leash, it's like magic...I know it sounds cheesy, but its like he was born with one attached to him. Anyway...because of my education from John, I was able to open up my dream dog training company and have now been on the Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, MSN, Yahoo, Cesar Millan's magazine, his new dog training book...and better yet...the people who write for his show takes my class every morning. With that said...He is an awesome trainer, the best...I owe all of my success to him. Jill Bowers Thank Dog! Bootcamp Thank Dog! Training

**Exceptional Training Experience with Valor Canine Services**…read more We can't thank Scott and the team at Valor Canine Services enough for the incredible work they've done with our dog, Hank. Before working with Scott, we honestly didn't know if we could handle Hank on our own. The difference after training is night and day--he's now the dog we always knew he could be. Scott's dedication went above and beyond. He kept us updated almost daily with videos and progress reports, making us feel included every step of the way. We know Hank wasn't easy, but Scott worked patiently with him and showed tremendous commitment to Hank's success. Thank you to the entire Valor Canine team, especially Scott, for your hard work, and for continuing to check in and answer all of our questions. We're so grateful to have a well-behaved, happy dog thanks to you!

Valor Canine Service was an absolutely wonderful experience for me and my furry companion. I must…read moresay, the experience exceeded all expectations. Valor Canine Service is not just a dog training business; they are a true maestro of canine behavior and obedience. From the moment my dog began his training sessions, I was kept informed of my dog's progress daily and it was evident that not only did Valor Canine Service possessed a deep understanding of dogs, but also has a profound love and passion for what they do. Their approach was not merely about teaching commands but about fostering a harmonious relationship between owner and dog. This holistic approach is what sets Valor Canine Service apart for me and, from others in the field. I still implement the follow-up behavior and obedience strategies I was given. I will definitely use this service again and would highly recommend them to anyone. Valor Canine Service thank you! HM

I would highly recommend VCA, as I think they have a great staff, and provide great care to both the animal and the human.

Upon him coming out 3 minutes later, I could tell from his very choppy cut that he was rushed and likely no patience in combing out his fluffy hair, causing him to be hurt during the process.
