Your Dog’s 2nd Best Friend
I am a CPDT-KA certified professional dog trainer with 5+ years of dog training and services. I work with reactive dogs, basic obedience and on-walk leash manners! I grew up caring for many dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve trained my own dog for the last 6 years who has fearfulness so I know first hand how much patience and extra care is needed to handle a dog. Each dog is different and understanding how to motivate and make them happy is a passion of mine. I would love to use my many years of experience and passion to help care, and train other dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pet like it was my own Dog! I will make sure to follow any food restrictions and house rules. I will make sure your dog is comfortable in anything we do and hope to help them desensitized as needed! I love building that trust and confidence in dogs when it’s possible. Using my expertise and extensive dog training experience, I can read dog body language and will make sure if it’s appropriate and safe to engage other dogs. I will make sure to avoid any engagement with other dogs/people as instructed especially if the dog is reactive to ppl/dogs. It gets real hot here so I will monitor temperature through the day to ensure if your dog can go for longer walks or shorter ones. Keeping your dog safe and comfortable is my #1 priority!
Ratings and reviews
Great experience! The drop-in was right on time, and my doggo was happy, well-cared for, and got plenty of attention. I really appreciated the updates and photos. Highly recommend!
John is an excellent communicator and really cares about you and your dog’s needs and will do what it takes to make sure they are well cared for under his service. Also, he gave great tips on how to handle my dog reactivity and basic obedience! He was able to show me some of the techniques in a matter of minutes which was very helpful.
Thanks John for all the fun videos and photos of my dogs. I kniw they are in good hands. John's ability to work with and handle my Rhodesian Ridgebacks is outstanding.
John is excellent and goes above and beyond in all respects. He brings professional dog training methods to even the simplest visit. He is a true professional and is incredibly friendly and communicative.
John was a godsend. He is excellent with communication and even better with our dog. He went above and beyond for what we thought would be a simple visit. John employed his dog training skills and we are already seeing results.
Where do I even begin?! John has been a godsend to my Pitty, Aubrey and I. The moment he met Aubrey on our meet and greet, I could tell he knew what he was doing and was comfortable, which made me comfortable! Not only has John watched Aubrey, but he’s taken the extra time and care to teach and train her. I can tell he has a real love for animals, as well as being very personable, professional, and compassionate to towards Aubrey’s needs. Aubrey was rescued at 3 months old and has developed some aggression issues with other dogs, so she is not an easy one to walk at times. She also was diagnosed with a severe heart murmur and underwent a pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty, which John has been very mindful off. John has exceeded my expectations with knowledge and tools to help me help my furchild. 😊 John even brought high grade treats from home to help train Aubrey. He’s been dependable and consistent. He sends amazing photos and videos throughout the day. 10/10, highly recommend. Will be working with John as long as we can. :)
