Dog Boarding and Training
Jonathan is a god! I am so happy I found him on google. My husband and I really needed help with our 90 lb Golden Retriever (Sora). Sora is a very friendly, lover boy but he had horrible leash manners as well as not obeying or becoming a hand full when greeting people or other dogs. I've been dragged into the street and on coming traffic too many times and I was at the end of my rope. I told my husband we absolutely NEED to get some help! That's when I went to google and did some searching for dog trainers. They offer a free evaluation and the price for the 3 week training is unbeatable!" Every other training site I went to, the two week programs were over $2,500.. We set up our free evaluation and immediately we wanted to sign our dog up. So we set the date and dropped him off with a binder of info and a bag of dog food. In those three weeks we kept in touch with Jonathan, getting updates on his progress with some pictures. Once the three weeks were up we excitedly went to pick up our pup. The difference was amazing! Jonathan showed us how to control our dog on and off leash, I wanted to cry tears of joy. Sora is still very much the same dog who loves people but the difference is now he isn't dragging me towards distractions. He actually listens and behaves amazingly on and off leash. I'm no longer afraid to take my dog for a walk. If anyone is second guessing dog training, I highly recommend reaching out to Jonathan. They are amazing and worth every penny. I am now a long time customer. They know my dog and I can trust them to fully take care of his needs. This has been one of best experiences when it comes to dog training. I really only have good things to say. Thank you Jonathan.
Boarding And Training
Nobody wants a reactive fur baby, so if you have 1, there's hope! Read my review: We have a 1.5 yr old rescue named Rocky (maybe a ridgeback or a blackmouth) that's scared of pretty much everything. I have socialized him, took him everywhere I went when he was a pup but as time passed by, he became more and more aggressive towards people and a whole lot of little things. I have searched for training programs in the past and received many hesitations due to his behavior. Taking trips has also been difficult as finding someone to board him is close to impossible as it takes him awhile to open up; and unlike other dogs, Rocky doesn't want attention which a lot of people don't understand. I stumbled on and met with Jonathan for an evaluation and he treated Rocky like any other dog he's trained. Jonathan took charge! He wasn't intimidated but understood exactly what's going on.. and I absolutely appreciated that. He explained to us the possibilities instead of guaranteeing us a big change. But in some way, knowing that there's hope was enough. We enrolled Rocky to the 2-week train/board program. (Do note that they use a E-collar for training, and even though some frown upon it, it's something dogs like mine need). We dropped off a crazy dog who barks at everything and after 2 weeks, picked up a dog who can now be taken out to public (with limitations of course). Jonathan taught us how to take charge and do proper corrections that will get our dog's attention. I love that he can tell what's going on just by Rocky's demeanor and body language. We just had our 1st follow up and Jonathan helped us with stressors that generates Rocky's reactiveness now that he's home. Jonathan also gave us tips which are super helpful! We are genuinely grateful to Jonathan for helping us. He's very easy to communicate with and overall just a great person who loves dogs and great at what he does. SN: He even worked
Dog Training
My husband and I left my 1.5 year old mini Aussie Shepard with Jonathan for the 2 week board and train program. It was the best decision ever!! Bailey was a different dog once we picked her up. We had problems with her barking at other people and dogs when we would walk her. Now she doesn't pull on the leash nor bark at others. He uses lots of positive reinforcement which I liked. He also includes 4 follow-up training sessions. The prices for his training are a steal!! We had gone to another very popular training program in San Antonio and they were double the price for half the time of training. You won't regret your decision of going to Jonathan for dog training.
