Delightful Dog Training with Jon was highly recommended to us by our vet Sarah Bowers who said that Jon was her good friend, that she used him recently with her dog, and she was very happy. So we listened to her because we trusted her with our dog’s life. And we are so grateful to her for that recommendation!

From the first phone call I felt that Jon is the right person for us and our Freddie – 1,5 years old Cavapoochon. He was very pleasant, very calm and patient, he took his time to answer all my questions about the training, and he did his very best to find a spot for our first consultation with Freddie in his super busy schedule.

During every session Jon was incredibly patient with us and Freddie, taking the time to explain each step clearly and ensuring we understood the process. Jon is very knowledgeable and informative. We also appreciate that he was very responsive, punctual, and overall a great guy! The emphasis on positive reinforcement made the training enjoyable for us and Freddie. We’ve seen significant progress in Freddie’s behavior and responsiveness to commands in just a few weeks.

After each session Jon was providing us with a set of his videos with detailed explanations of what we learned during our session, so we could practice with Freddie between sessions. That was extremely helpful for us!

We would absolutely recommend Jon to everyone, and we are confident that he is able to help with training of any dog!

Here is a picture of our Freddie🐾. Once again, thank you Jon🙏🏻😊

John has trained all three of my golden retrievers. His methods and patience with each dog when they were puppies is spectacular. All three are now off leash and stay adjacent to me when walk and verbally obedient. Everyone always asks how and where I got all three of the dogs trained and I have ZERO hesitation to refer to John. FYI- the dogs are now 10, 8 and almost 2.

Delightful Dog Training has been an absolute game-changer for our family and our 5-month-old puppy! We were at our wits’ end with resource guarding over socks and trash cans; it was escalating quickly and starting to feel overwhelming. Our vet immediately pointed us to Jon at Delightful Dog Training, and I’m so glad she did. From the very first conversation, Jon was kind, responsive, upfront and completely pressure-free – no sales pitch, just an honest conversation about what we were going through and how he could help. What sets Delightful Dog Training apart is that they don’t just train the dog they teach the humans, too (and that made all the difference). Jon, the trainer explained everything clearly, demonstrated exactly what to do and why it works, and customized every step to our puppy’s personality and our family’s lifestyle. In just a few sessions, the resource guarding has virtually vanished, and our entire household is calmer and happier because we finally understand our puppy’s behavior and have the tools to handle it confidently.

Another thing to note: the second Jon walks through the door, our puppy lights up with pure joy and instantly tunes into him, eagerly following his every move. It's the clearest proof of how kind, patient, and how Jon just gets dogs on a deeper level.

We are forever grateful to our vet for connecting us with Delightful Dog Training. The training didn’t just solve a problem, it transformed our experience with our new puppy. If you need a good trainer, trust me: reach out to Delightful Dog Training. You (and your dog) will thank you! 🐾

I had the privilege of learning how to train dogs from Jon. We worked together for almost four years at Kennel Club USA. Jon is patient and kind both with the dogs he trains and the people he teaches. Jon will adapt his training approach to accommodate different personalities and goals for both owners and dogs. He is both a knowledgeable and versatile trainer.

What I appreciate most is how Jon makes owner education the top priority of each of his training programs. Jon understands that teaching the owner to apply the training in their own home is what will create success for the dog.

I wouldn't hesitate to trust Jon with my own dogs as I know he will do an excellent job with every dog (and owner) he trains.

Jon is fantastic! Our dog went to him as a puppy and Jon worked with him for 3 months. Our dog is so well behaved and chill. Jon is a great human and is an amazing dog trainer. He is super knowledgeable and spends time with his clients to ensure both humans and dogs know what they are doing. C
