John's Natural Dog Training Company

Using a dog’s perspective of the world around them, John’s natural training method took our dachshund mix from being extremely reactive on walks—he would spin in circles at the end of the leash when he saw another dog—to a wonderful walking companion even if dogs around him are misbehaving. Our experience could not have been better! We highly recommend this service.

We could not be happier with John and his skilled approach at animal handling! We have a 6-month mini goldendoodle that John has been working with for the past 3 months. Our dog has successfully learned to walk properly on a leash, sit, and down (take it with a grain of salt; at 6 months she still needs constant training/reminders, just as children need constant reinforcement as they grow). John does not use treat (food) reinforcement, which we love. My husband and I don’t bribe our 3 kids with food, so why would we bribe our dog with treats?! John recommended a pronged training collar. I at first was hesitant (our pup was a tiny 6 lb pup) but after trying it on my arm, I realized that it does NOT hurt. It causes a startle effect that then causes compliance. Our sweet pup responded wonder

Our 5 year old dog, Nala, had a rough past before we adopted her (2 different homes, neglected, very anxious). We had already gone through 1 basic training class through Petco to socialize her, and then another private trainer who just sucked the money out of us with no result. We did not want to give up on our sweet girl, so I did my research and felt optimistic starting with John. Our first session showed how anxious she was and her lack of confidence. As we progressed, she loved being a part of the pack with his 2 sweet, large German shepherds who accompany John himself. Throughout our sessions, Nala learned better loose leash walking, more efficient sits, down, became more comfortable around other dogs, and developed confidence. We also learned which training collar works best in li

We have been waiting months for a refund from John because we cancelled our contract with him. We paid $775 for 8 sessions and decided to cancel after 2. In our contract we could cancel within the first 3 sessions and get refunded for any unused sessions. The trainer was insisting on a spike choke collar for our dog and we refused. Obviously the values of this company did not line up with ours and we do not want to continue with them. Well, we still have not received the refund of our money and we’re out hundreds of dollars for nothing. TOTAL FRAUD. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. Read the rest of the reviews. Many people with our same story. I wish I would have researched the company more carefully

John is awesome!! I would highly recommend him.
