We got our fence installed by John and he did the training personally as well. We are happy with the fence, we are glad we did it, because is working!!

John is very good with our pups. He takes the time to explain and show how each command is given and completed. We are very happy.

Jon has been working with us and our Pittie mix 2 training sessions so far and he recently installed and trained her on the invisible fence . She’s so happy and doing great running freely in our yard. Jon is always quick to respond to any questions we have and has been so helpful. Looking forward to our next training sessions !

We had really struggled to find the right trainer for our mini golden doodle. I read great reviews about John at ProDog and could not be happier with the progress he made with our pup Luca in such a short amount of time. John really is a true professional and expert at what he does and it shows the the results we have seen, Luca is so much more focused and well behaved! I highly recommend ProDog!

This summer we got brother & sister Bernedoodle puppies. Thank god we found John as they grew very quickly. John Installed the invisible fence and got us on his training program right away. John did an amazing job working with both pups together. We look forward to doing additional sessions with Pro-Dog K9.

My fiancé and I started our puppy with John at 12 weeks old, and I can only recommend for everyone else to do the same. John has worked so well our pup and now we have moved on to the advanced obedience and off leash training.
Our pup just gets better and better with every training session. John is the best in the business. He has gotten the job done and beyond. Extremely easy to schedule and John is a wealth of knowledge for anything you need to know about dogs. Well worth every penny!

New puppy owner like many of us who started the journey during this pandemic. With high demand and scheduling conflicts it was hard to find a trainer until I discovered John. He does in home sessions which I needed so that John can help with the environmental factors. I finished the first session of our 2 session puppy class and was immediately surprised at how effective his service has been in getting me back on track with training my smart puppy effectively. Unless anything changes Im sure Ill be back to update this review when we finish his higher levels of training! I can't wait to see more results!

Highly recommend using John for dog training. In minutes of our first session my one year old pup was walking perfectly on the leash. I previously was struggling with him pulling me on our walks. He is very knowledgeable and has helped me to understand the importance of commands.

John excels at his craft. His expertise, ease with explanations and handling, efficiency, results (including reproducibility once he leaves!) and follow through are evident with immediate behavioral change in canines and people. Having brought John in and outside our home as well as workplace .....he allows learning to transfer everywhere training reinforcement needs to be. His approach and techniques are simple, easy to instill, effective and lasting. John’s value is readily noted and your return immeasurable. Top notch!

When John came to visit us the first time, Starr was a relatively wild, 6 month old puppy. Within seconds of letting her out of her crate, he had her sitting by his side calmly looking up at him. Starr could not greet people properly. She would constantly want to jump up on them. Walking her felt like she was taking US for a walk around the neighborhood! We have had 6 lessons with John now. I can walk HER around the neighborhood now without issues. John has taught us how to train Starr, and she is improving every day. The last time John came to the house, Starr did not jump up on him. She actually sat down on the stairs with John standing in the foyer. John is an excellent trainer. He can immediately get a dog to what he wants. He is also a good people trainer. . . . . . . . showing you how to follow up in your training of your dog. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of continually keeping up on the training that John shows you. The dog will not learn the wanted behavior unless you keep reinforcing it. That is all part of what John teaches you. I would highly recommend John, and ProDogK-9 to anyone who needs to have their dog trained.
Sincerely,

John is a master dog handler. We were getting very frustrated and concerned with the growing aggression in our Australian Shepherd puppy (resource guarding, defensive bites etc). The 100% positive reinforcement methods we were following were not effective for the core behavioral issues we were experiencing. After 5 minutes of meeting our male 4 month old Aussie puppy, John had him heeling off leash, laying calmly, and showing general good manners. John has changed our mindset on how to handle our dog and his methods have saved us from rehoming him. If you hire John and strictly follow his program you will be stunned with the results.

My wife and I could not be more impressed with John's training services. Although our dog (Lambeau) has only completed two sessions we have already seen great improvement. I would recommend Pro-Dog with out hesitation.

A little background. We adopted a Greater Swiss Mountain dog at 3 months. From 3-6 months we did a local training place which worked on positive reinforcement with treats. This worked great. We did puppy class, then loose leash walking and then teen class. Although he worked great in that indoor environment once we bring him outdoors and distractions, it went downhill. Our puppy kept barking cause he just wanted the treats, he would do what was asked, but you better reward him. Since he is 75lbs our main focus was healing, hence why we took the loose leash class. He was OK in class but not out in the real world. We kept trying the methods we were taught every day, but it wasn't working and he was getting stronger. When walking he would sometimes jump up on us to get his treats, he always knew where you hid it. When he was around 10 months, we called John at Pro-K9. He was very easy to talk with on the phone, and we setup an in house consultation. As soon as he arrived, on time as always, he entered the house and put our pup in his place and the puppy just sat down next to him. He explained he was going to put a Prong color on, this is not a collar that hurts the dog, it's a training method. Well, he had our puppy healing in about 5 min. He did a few passes to show us his method, then we took the pup and he was right by our side. We continued our sessions and now we can walk our pup with ease, no pulling and distractions are an easy correction. John is a fantastic trainer and easy to work with and schedule training sessions. Thank you John for making our life with our puppy a special one.

Last month we adopted a 2 year old precious Golden Retriever and we made several calls to get a trainer into our home ASAP. John responded quickly, understood exactly what we were looking for, and was flexible to accommodate our schedules. I was very impressed from our initial conversation, and we set up our first training session for the following week. As soon as he walked in our house, he demonstrated a wonderful command over our golden, and I knew he was a perfect fit to help our dog and train us to deal with her effectively! From suggesting appropriate collars, to working on walking without pulling, to help master our canine fence, we are truly appreciative and grateful for all of John’s training expertise!!!!

John has been simply amazing with helping us train our Husky! I knew we needed a trainer ASAP since huskies are an extremely intelligent and stubborn breed. We found John online based on the reviews and we are glad we did.
He responded quickly and his prices were very affordable. We also wanted to switch the training method to an E-collar and John provided us the with the proper training to use it correctly. Before you know it, we were walking our 1 yr old husky off leash and we’re just so impressed on how well Johns tactics worked.
I recommend John for every dog owner who is interested in training their furry best friend.

Our English Bulldog, 9 months when we contacted John, has an aggression/dominance issue. The very first session with John he knew what the problem was and how to stop it. We still have 1 more session to go but Rocky is a new boy!!!! If you want a trainer that knows what he is doing and more importantly how to show the owners to do same, you want John.

John was a great trainer. We had hired him to help out with our two little guys who had terrible obedience when it came to guests coming over . Our rescue shitziu mix was a also aggressive and difficult to train because of it . John gave us realistic expectations . He did not promise the moon and stars but rather gave us the tools and basically trained US how to train our dogs which we lacked greatly . He was extremely knowledgeable in his trade and made training our dogs as easy as it could be . He Gave us all the tools to continue to train them . It’s really what your willing and able to put into it. We had 3 sessions with him & after each sessions and some one on one home work with our dogs we have seen a great improvement. We look forward to working with our dogs now because we know what we are doing . John was very friendly and trustworthy . I was never worried about our dogs well being or safety when working with him . I would highly recommend Prodogk9 . We did our research prior to hiring John and he is extremely reasonable for what you get in a session with him . I’m confident with everything he has provided us with that we will continue to see improvement with our dogs as we train them and also know he will help us in the furture with any other questions or issues . Thanks John ;)

John is great! My golden retriever pup had food agression and was extremely hyper and dominant I was afraid after getting him from the breeder that I would have to re-home our new pup due to his flaws. Thanks to John my 2 year old is now able to feed our dog every nite and he walks side by side us on a leash. Thanks to John we have the family dog we were hoping for! Tiffany

My only regret is not calling John sooner when our dog was a young puppy! The first day he worked with our dog, she listened, sat, heeled. It was amazing! Prior to working with John, I hated even walking the dog because she was all over the place! But no more. Walking her is a pleasure now, not a chore, because she listens and heels beautifully. We had 4 lessons, and I know that we will go back for a refresher - it is totally worth it. She also now stays, fetches, and drops the ball when we ask (we used to have to fight with her to let go of the tennis ball!) John uses just the right tone and has an innate sense on how to get dogs to listen. I highly recommend calling John - today!
