Naked Dog Training

Naked Dog Training has completely changed life for me and my dog! Before working with them, she struggled to stay calm, focused, and regulated in busy environments, and I felt overwhelmed not knowing how to help her succeed. The progress she has made is extraordinary. Hazel is now confident, attentive, and able to work reliably with me in all kinds of settings. Prior to coming to the Naked Dog we had tried several different trainers including another board and train, with absolutely no effect. I was even told by another trainer that they didn’t see the issues I did. The Naked Dog was different from the start because they evaluated my dog’s behavior with me and in a stressful environment before creating a plan and a quote. It is not cheap, but it is highly worth the cost for a lifetime of

I can’t say enough good things about Naked Dog Training. My dog has been working with John and the rest of the trainers for her aggression issues, and the improvement we’ve seen has been incredible. They are patient, knowledgeable, and truly take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs. John and the team made me feel supported every step of the way and gave me tools I can actually use at home, not just during sessions. My dog is calmer, more confident, and much more manageable than when we started. You can tell they genuinely care about both the dogs and their owners. If you’re dealing with behavioral challenges and want real, lasting results, I highly recommend Naked Dog Training.

My husband and I are both veterinarians, and John has been a client of ours for over 15 years. Early on, we became impressed with his training philosophy and results, and over time we became clients ourselves. In the past 15 years, John has trained six of our dogs, including our current dog, Ludlow. We have utilized both his board-and-train program and day school, and we have referred hundreds of our own clients and friends to him. Over the years, we have also become friends with both John and Ruth through our shared love of dogs. What has always stood out to us is how deeply John cares about the dogs in his program and the people who work for him. His integrity, professionalism, and commitment to both animal welfare and his staff are admirable. One reviewer mentioned “burn marks” from e

Our 4 1/2 year old GSP was showing signs of aggression due to his anxiety. The training he and our family received at Naked Dog Training was truly life changing for all of us. We now have a dog that can accept new people into our home, doesn’t bark at all anymore when people or delivery trucks go by and does well with all his commands including off leash recall. When I first reached out, Ruth listened to my story with a compassionate ear. We met with the owner, John shortly after and together we came up with a program that would be a good fit for our dog and our family. We chose to board him during the first part of this process for 5 weeks. He was in a home setting with Marney who was loving and communicated with us the whole time. The trainers, Addison, Lil’John, and Eli were professio

My wife and I were looking to get our new pup trained because he was an extreme handful. In our search we came across The Naked Dog Training. After meeting with John, we decided to trust him and his team with our baby. After a couple months, we had the most well trained puppy we've ever had. So much so that when we got our second puppy we signed him up right away. John knows what he's doing and his team (Addison and Eli) were amazing! They always took care of our little guys and showed them so much love during their training. Not only that, but they make sure that you know exactly how to handle any situation and that you understand all of the commands the pups have learned. I highly recommend The Naked Dog Training for anyone who's looking to get their puppies trained properly. You will no
