    Sharon has been absolutely amazing to work with! My dog, Pretzel, is scared to walk on hard surfaces — something we’ve struggled with for years. Sharon has shown me patient, effective ways to help Pretzel gain confidence walking on our hardwood floors, and we’ve already made incredible progress. What really sets Sharon apart is how she helps me think differently. She’s taught me to see things from Pretzel’s perspective and to truly understand what’s going on in her head — it’s like learning to speak her (dog) language. I had worked with another trainer a few years ago, but it wasn’t nearly as effective as Sharon’s approach. She’s kind, patient (with both me and Pretzel!), and always quick to answer questions by text or call. I’m so grateful for her guidance and can’t wait to continue working with her!

    Every correction was explained in good detail. We are confident in how to train our dog in the future.

    Was super patient! Let my mom and I ask all kinds of questions and never seemed to change his attitude. Was very good at calling us out for little things we should change while teaching us certain training techniques. Overall very excellent experience.

    Photo of Bodie John showed us so many tools to help us train and enjoy our puppy even more. Topics of separation anxiety and jumping, along with other essential behaviors we've been concerned with. The best!!

    If you are considering hiring Johnny, look no further, I promise it will be the BEST DECISION you will ever make for you & your furry family member! We found Johnny looking for a dog trainer to work with our 2 German Shepherd rescues in need of leash training due to their size/strength (90 lbs & 105 lbs) as well as in home obedience to improve their adoptability. After extensive research for a behavioral trainer with rescue dog experience, we hired Johnny based on his reviews alone! Johnny not disappoint, he far exceeded our expectations in training both GSDs, their foster parents & US! I can honestly say, with a decade of experience working with dog trainers, that Johnny is by far THE BEST! His extensive knowledge in dog psychology/ behavior & simple replicable training methods combined with his genuine love for dogs & his demeanor around them, Johnny possesses something TRULY SPECIAL that can NOT be taught. The dogs know it & seeing how they respond to his training techniques is like MAGIC happening! Our 2 GSDs both knew several commands prior to rescue, it was clear they would respond well to training but we did not expect them to light up when Johnny arrived! Both dogs completed their obedience checklist & our male GSD quickly became the King of “Place” always the 1st on his cot! Leash training to eliminate pulling was challenging at first due to their excitability of all new sights/smells as well as new found strength in recovery BUT with Johnny’s persistence testing various handling gear the Figure 8 proved to the be solution. They responded so well to Johnny working with the Figure 8 lead, they were soon walking next to any handler at any pace fast or slow!! Plus, ultimately, for dog training to be successful, it is just as much training the humans to practice consistently after Johnny leaves as it is about training the dogs. That is where Johnny is in a league of his own… He is just as incredible training the humans as the dogs! The foster mom, who has fostered close to 100 dogs & her husband was only involved with the family dogs & they had never worked with a dog trainer. After just 1 SESSION, the foster parents were not only believers in training BUT said it was life changing & are excited about practicing with ALL the dogs. The foster dad even talks about Johnny’s training with everyone they know & now helps with all the foster dogs too! Our 2 GSDs are now adopted & thriving because of Johnny’s training & their transferrable lifetime training contract. Johnny is now our #1 trainer of choice for all of our rescue pups. The PROOF of Johnny’s professionalism & ability to connect/train both dogs & humans alike is evident in the success of our 2 rescue GSDs & their foster parents’ transformation!

    Scot is a wonderful trainer! Within minutes I had learned how to deter my dog’s unacceptable behaviors. Scot taught me how to teach my dog who’s in charge without stress and with positive feedback. Now I’m in charge and not my dog.

    I recommend Scot if you want to retrain your thinking and put yourself in charge, not your dog. Be the Alpha!
