About
With 13 years of professional dog experience, I’ve dedicated my career to understanding canine behavior. Starting right after high school at an open-play facility, I spent 6-12 hours daily observing dogs and their complex interactions. I trained staff on preventing fights, managing inappropriate behaviors, and ensuring safe play environments. My responsibilities included handling aggressive dogs, specialized feeding protocols, and administering various veterinary medications. This hands-on experience with diverse dog personalities led me to develop Paws and Lessons, my personalized training approach. I’m deeply passionate about helping people understand their dogs better and bridging communication gaps between pets and owners. Every dog has unique needs, and I love helping families navigate these relationships successfully. Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy or working with a longtime companion, I’d be thrilled to support you and your dog on this journey together. Thank you!

We have been working with Jonathan and we could not be happier. His professionalism and results have made a huge impact on our lives. I have a German Shepherd and a Pit Bull mix, and my Shepherd was very reactive. I entrusted him to Jonathan for a month, and he came back a completely different dog in the best way possible. The transformation was incredible. We still reach out to Jonathan for refreshers when needed, and he always delivers. If you are looking for a trainer who genuinely gets results, Jonathan is the best. Hands down.

Jonathan is an outstanding dog trainer. From day one, he was patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in both our dogs progress and our understanding as owners. He explains things clearly, tailors the training to your dogs personality, and gets real results. We saw noticeable improvements quickly, and the confidence he gave us as handlers made a huge difference. If youre looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers results, Jonathan is the trainer you want. Highly recommend!

Jonathan is very professional and easy to work with. He knows how to deal with my two temperamental dogs and pointed out the problem immediately as soon as he saw our dogs. Jonathan is a great dog trainer that I would highly recommend to everyone. I have used him many times and definitely will use him again in the future.

Johnathan is a miracle worker in just 2 weeks he has completely transformed my 4 month old puppy into a much more calmer and house broken pup. I was losing my mind before hiring Johnathan trust me he is worth every dollar spent.

Our dog, Loki, was scared of going down our hallway, down the inside/outside stairs, etc. One session with Jonathan and Loki is doing all of these things. Jonathan is very loving with the dogs and with his quiet strength, dogs respond. I will continue to use Jonathan for training and look forward to seeing the changes in our 1 year old dog, Loki.
