Jon is a phenomenal dog and human trainer. We came to him with a rescued 3 year old Shiba Inu, Marlowe, extremely shut down and distrustful, seemingly not trainable, timid yet aggressive with other dogs, children and adults. This breed is typically highly anxious, and our dog had such overpowering anxiety he couldn’t even be taken for walks. The very first day Jon met this dog, there was an instant bond and mastery Jon demonstrated. His understanding and affinity with dogs is outstanding.
We’ve been around dogs our entire lives, and have never seen Jon’s ability to discern an animal’s temperament and know exactly what it needs. His mastery and talent have transformed our dog, and most definitely saved its life. Jon’s skills reflect a passion for care and unmatched results in changing our dog to one now able to happily connect with life, enjoy daily walks, and be affectionate and obedient. Jon is superb at training us human clients as well, totally committed to satisfaction and what’s best for our dog.
Marlowe’s tremendous progress is from Jon’s training mastery, including the techniques he shared with us to ensure Marlowe’s continuing progress. We can’t say enough about Jon’s unique gift.
