John The Dog Trainer

John Rubin. Founder and Owner

John M. RubinJohn Rubin has been training dogs for over 30 years and he is recognized nationally as an expert canine behaviorist and dog trainer.

He developed his unique training methods to focus on effective communication between humans and dogs. By using his understanding of a dog's natural instincts and drives he educates clients about "K9-ality." As each dog has its own temperament as well as emotional and physical needs, their instinctual "drives" often define their "K9-ality". John can help you to learn about the psychology of your K9 so you can better understand what is needed to aid you and your dog or puppy in the training and bonding process.

He has gained the respect of many San Diego Vets, breeders, shelters and rescue organizations as well as countless others in the community putting him at the top of his industry and he has testified in Court as an Expert Witness for issues related to canine behavior, socialization and development. 

He is committed to improving awareness, safety and the overall well being of dogs nationwide. He has organized community forums to increase awareness of responsible dog ownership as well as offered free community workshops to teach people about Rattlesnake and Coyote safety in addition to giving presentations at local schools to teach children about canine communication and behavior. . If you would like to invite John to speak at your organization or event about canine behavior, cognition or safety please feel free to contact him.

He enjoys spending time with his wife and their dogs Marvin, Fluffy, Pooh and Charlie who you will often see accompany him on appointments and speaking engagements.
