John is great with Bella. This was not our first time having John watch Bella and it was delightful to see her run up to him wagging her tail. This visit went smoothly as had previous visits. I highly recommend John for you dog sitting needs. He is easy to work and brings great dog training skills to the job.

John is very skilled in his craft, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely has a great love for animals. John was instrumental in successfully training my border collie, Chance and ridding him of his aggressiveness towards people. He was very determined, patient, and compassionate with my dog, while always remaining calm and keeping a positive attitude. He provided me with some very helpful tips and advice that helped me better understand my dog. To this day, each time I repeat my dogs name, I hear a tiny John in my head saying, “don’t repeat yourself”. It’s a terrible feeling knowing people are not safe around your dog that you love very much, it’s also scary to think of what the consequences could be should an accident occur. Because of John, I no longer live that burden or fear, and my dog Chance is a much happier dog. I highly recommend John and never hesitate in referring or recommending him to people because of my personal experience with working with him. I am very thankful and appreciative to John, for the huge impact he made on my life.

We met John when our pup was just eight weeks old. Over the last couple years they have become literal best friends. John handles our high energy boy with ease and is one of very few people we trust. We would recommend him to anyone!

When we brought our rescue dog home in 2020, we knew we needed help training her so she could be her very best self. John was able to provide suggestions to help with some of Arrows behavior struggles and he helped Arrow get over her fear of men. He is phenomenal with all dogs and had the patience to spend as much time as necessary to earn Arrows trust. He is always knowledgeable about new ways to help. He was always available when we needed a home visit to see behavior Arrow was exhibiting. We take Arrow when we travel and never worry because of the training and help we received from John. We have and will continue to highly recommend John for any training or dog sitting needs!

Any special dietary needs including medications and food allergies. Any medical problems like hip dysplasia, seizures etc. What scares your dog and what do they like to do. How social are they

A typical day

I will take your pup anywhere you'd like. I do like parks as well as busy public places to introduce your pup to lots of people and work on socialization. I will also get down and dirty to make play time as fun as possible for your dog. Tug of war is one of my favorites.
