I cannot express enough what a great trainer Jonathan is. He has changed my dog in a way I never thought was possible. This is my third attempt at training and he is far and away the most understanding, kind, and talented trainer we have worked with. People ask me ALL THE TIME who I use because he's made such a difference. He was a pretty wild working dog shepherd and his level of happiness is clearly much higher now that Jonathan has helped me understand his needs and how to manage his particular personality. He is much more patient and indepth than other trainers- he truly understands your dog's breed and works with their tendencies for the best outcome. If you love your dog and need someone to help them be their best- Jonathan is the very best choice! I think the most important thing for us was that he didn't rush the process, and made sure our dog got what he needed instead of being hyper focused on a timeline. He was incredibly generous with his time and his patience with Odin changed the way my dog engages with people on a much larger scale. Having a GSD that made people feel intimidated, this was a game changer for my family and my ability to take him with me everywhere, which I love to do!

A Gamechanging Custom Dog Training Program: Jonathan's Expertise Shines! I cannot express enough how pleased I am with Jonathan's custom dog training program for my 20-month-old dog, Chip. From the moment we began the at-home training, it was evident that Jonathan's expertise and attentiveness were going to make a significant impact on Chip's behavior. I am delighted to share my incredibly positive experience with his program. First and foremost, Jonathan's attentiveness throughout the training process was remarkable. He took the time to understand the specific issues I was facing with Chip, including common home-related challenges, obedience struggles, impulse control and leash walking difficulties. His ability to identify and address these issues was nothing short of impressive. One of the most outstanding aspects of Jonathan's program was its customizability. He tailored the training sessions to suit Chip's individual needs and personality, ensuring that the techniques and exercises were effective and engaging. This personalized approach made a world of difference in Chip's progress, as my pup head very strong willed and unruly. Jonathan's mastery of dog training techniques was evident in his ability to provide clear and concise instructions. He explained each exercise and command with utmost clarity, ensuring that I understood the purpose and execution. His guidance was invaluable in helping me develop the necessary skills to reinforce positive, obedient behavior in Chip. Perhaps the most significant testament to Jonathan's expertise is the remarkable transformation I witnessed in Chip's behavior. Through the at-home training program, Jonathan addressed and rectified the obedience and leash walking pulling issues and being disruptive in public places that had been a constant source of frustration for me. Chip's behavior improved dramatically, and now he is on the road to becoming a well-behaved and responsive companion. What truly sets Jonathan apart is his genuine passion for dogs and his commitment to their well-being. He not only provided effective training techniques, but also offered invaluable advice on maintaining and reinforcing the lessons learned during the program. His dedication to ensuring long-term success for both dog and owner is truly commendable. In conclusion, Jonathan's custom dog training program has been an absolute gamechanger for Chip. His attentiveness, expertise, and personalized approach have brought about a remarkable transformation in Chip's behavior. I wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan to anyone seeking professional and effective dog training. His program has exceeded my expectations, and I am immensely grateful for the positive impact he has had on Chip's life—and mine!

I wish I could honestly give a better rating. Jonothan was super nice but I felt the service was not the greatest. He was not on time, he wouldn’t get back to me about scheduling sessions in a timely manor, he didn’t always have a plan as to what we were going to do during the session. I didn’t feel like my dog had progressed as expected and was just overall disappointed. He didn’t respond for 2 weeks when I asked when we were going to meet again. I should take some responsibility in that I didn’t realize the paid for sessions were over, although he never said to me, “this is our last session”. He made it seem like we were going to continue to meet, so that was poor communication on his part. When he reached back out after not hearing back for 2 weeks, I expressed all my concerns, to which he offered to continue his service at no extra cost. We scheduled a time to meet and he no showed. The sporadic communication was super unprofessional. Attached is a photo of the texts where he no showed. I tried to confirm we were meeting Wednesday morning, to which he asks where we should meet and then never responds. This has been updated from the original, Jonothan offered to continue sessions with my dog which went well.
