Our unique approach to helping you train your dog,
and end
unwanted behavior, offers you the best chance of "naturally" bonding with your
dog with fewer frustrations. We teach you to utilize your dog's natural
instincts and loving cooperative nature throughout the training process.
John's 20 years of experience and intense knowledge of canine behavior, allows
him to share with owners the most effective ways to live with their canine
companions.
All of our programs include teaching owners how to gently and
effectively train their dogs, on-leash, all basic obedience
commands. We can teach either formal or informal commands based upon
your preference and goals.
NEW!
Before
you choose any dog trainer, read our latest article
"The Shocking Truth"
It might just save you time, money and most of all, devastating
heartbreak.
Our
In-Home Training packages are definitely our most popular as well
as the most effective. By training you and your dog in your home we
are able to address behavior issues specific to your lifestyle and
home environment. We are able to teach all household members the
same simple methods and techniques. No other dog trainer in San Diego provides
you with this much support and opportunity for advanced training.
AND, we do not use and would never advocate the use of electronic
(shock) training devices. All obedience commands are guaranteed!
Group classes are located in several convenient locations around
San Diego County. Our classes cover on-leash basic obedience
commands, behavior discussions and solutions, and nutrition and
grooming. Subject materials and supportive supplemental information
is included in the price. (Please bring 6 foot leash and buckle
collar for your dog.)
If you have an aggressive dog, we can help! With one Behavior
Consultation
we can give you an honest opinion of what to expect. Aggression is
oftentimes a lack of confidence combined with an overreaction to
fears. With the right training program to build confidence, and
by using proper reinforcement and consistency, 90% of the time we can
quell if not eliminate aggressive tendencies.
Housebreaking - We offer Singe Sessions! We
teach you common-sense, practical approaches without using food and
without using fear-based methods.
Any of our packages can be
upgraded after purchase.

"Fantastic!!!"
"John has been absolutely fantastic. Not only did he
fix some big behavior problems in just one session,
but he turned our difficult dog into a member of the
family that can just hang out in the driveway and
play with us. I am grateful to him for all his help
and support. We even start agility class tonight!
Thanks again to John!"

"COMPLETELY
SATISFIED"
"We purchased the 8 in-home sessions in order to get
our Papillion to the point she could attend group
classes. She was a timid 6-month old when I brought
her home and displayed her fear by barking,
snarling, growling and lunging at people and other
dogs. After only 4 sessions with Jessica, she was
ready to attend group classes. I am utterly amazed
at the progress. Jessica has been so patient with us
(humans being the slow to learn ones). We haven't
yet completed the last two in-home sessions and have
not only begun group obedience classes, we have
started agility class. After the first agility
class, our dog was jumping over bars, running
through tunnels, jumping up on and staying on a
table, and running up and down an a-frame.
Unbelievable!! She was totally unconcerned with the
other dogs around her and she thoroughly enjoyed
every minute. Her confidence has been so boosted by
her experiences with John's Natural Dog Training,
that people find it hard to believe she was such a
terror before. Our dog is now a more attentive,
happy, and and trainable member of the family. It
may seem expensive, however it is worth every
penny."

"The Best Investment I Could Have Made in
Riley!"
"Being an obedience school drop out too many times
to mention, I entered John's Program with too many
reservations to list. Let me just cut to the chase.
I signed up and John came out to the house and gave
me several private (important) one on one lessons to
help me get started with my pup. He encouraged me to
join the group classes and I went to the beginners
and just kept going. These are free. Denelle Smalley
(the teacher) was incredible...almost addictive. She
was smart, answered all questions, had patience for
me and all my challenges and basically enticed me to
come and pursue classes on a regular basis -- me!
the drop out. Riley is now 1 year 6 months. Okay,
he's not perfect, but he is a great dog; he's
obedient, and easily to handle. He would pass any
test and has and impresses us all the time with his
eagerness to please. We (Riley and me) are now do
Agility training and we are going to begin a Patient
Therapy program...I highly recommend John's Program.
It is amazing."

"Exceptional Trainers & in home training."
"We have been with John's Natural Dog Training Company Since
2006. The trainers have brought me and my Dog Oso to the
point where we have bonded and the Dog is now a Therapy dog.
I couldn't have asked for better trainers and friends."
