Our dog's leash aggression issues were making our everyday life miserable. We had tried video trainer methods, worked with another trainer for months, used an e-collar, and nothing worked, actually things just got worse. After coming home from walks in tears over and over, we finally decided to take a chance and enroll her in John's two week day training program.
John tailored the program to fit the needs of our dog and the goals that we had as a family. Our dog came home every day from her day training with star pupil report cards. We were so confused. Was she faking it for John? Was she not going to be good with us like she was for John? Our fears were put to rest though. Every day when we picked her up, John would quickly go over what she learned in training so that we could work on those same tasks at home. He also sent us updates throughout the day and videos of her progress. Once the two weeks of training were up, the next phase is multiple one-on-one training sessions with John and our family. I think these sessions are what set John apart from everyone else. Our dog learned all the tools she needed to succeed during her day training sessions, but it was the one-on-one sessions out in the real world that really helped put all the pieces together.
We came to John with our dog wearing her e-collar even for the most basic of walks and still couldn't control her, now she doesn't wear her e-collar at all, and we are even able to pass other dogs with only her flat collar on! I feel like I am in control and that she isn't walking me. She still has her moments, but I am able to get her under control swiftly and easily. I am so thankful to John for helping my family find order and peace.
With yearly maintenance training sessions, we have been able to continue our progress and be proud of our dog!
John has come to our rescue so many times since the training program ended with other behavioral issues and even helped us with a really difficult situation with both of our dogs while we were in the middle of moving. John is seriously the best. He truly loves what he does and it shows! read more
