I can’t recommend John highly enough. We started working with him to deal with behavioral issues (biting/nipping, counter surfing, minor resource guarding, etc.) for our 4-month old Golden Retriever, Cooper. We had tried two other exclusively positive reinforcement training classes but had limited success addressing the behavioral problems. In just over a month, the improvements have been truly remarkable. It has been weeks since Cooper even tried nipping/biting, which was a daily occurrence pre-John. He now sees us as teachers vs. roommates and it has had a positive effect on our relationship with Cooper. We knew John was the right fit as soon as he came to our house - Cooper immediately showed him a level of respect and obedience that he had never shown us (but since has shown us). His feedback on the videos we send in is always timely, thorough, and helpful (I would still recommend John to a friend who could only meet with him online). Trust me, reach out to John if you need help training your dog.

John Wade knows dogs inside and out. He appears to weave magic as he had my 9 week puppy staring at him in relative obiedience as soon as he walked in my door. He is a great teacher. He is helping me , never had a puppy before, learn how to communicate to my puppy the basic things that matter. I am so grateful. FIVE STARS

John has been helping my partner & I for the past 10 days. Our dogs are both 5 & we had some reservations on how they’d accept training. Needless to say the foundation John put forward for us has been fantastic. Even only 10 days in we see a drastic improvement- the videos with feedback are perfect. Highly recommend this service !

We’re in the process of training our Australian cattle dog, Milo. John provided a very thorough home visit, providing us knowledge on the breed and dogs behaviours in general as well as showing us examples of the exercises we would be doing with Milo. John was the only trainer we reached out to that could confirm that they’ve worked with a herding and working breed. Not only does he have many years of experience, he helps you understand your dogs way of thinking and reasons for their behaviour. Johns videos have allowed us to review training materials on our own time. They’re very thorough and it’s clear that John takes the time to provide a detailed response. We’re still in the early stages of training but so far we appreciate Johns effort and expertise!

John is extremely knowledgeable and brings a lot of expertise to his training. He comes directly to your home, and if you follow his guidance closely, your puppy will have a smooth transition into its new environment. We have two Ragdoll cats who initially weren’t comfortable with our puppy—they wouldn’t even go downstairs. But after John spent just half an hour working with our dog, they came down and started integrating with him. I found the videos he provides to be very clear and helpful, and I appreciate John’s scientific approach to pet training. He made a real difference in how our pets adjusted to each other.
