Our Programs

 

 

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."
