Jon (the owner and dog trainer) is FANTASTIC!…read more My husband and I adopted an adult, 4 1/2 year old rescue/stray named Bolt in January 2021. He's a whopping 8lb. and a Chihuahua/poodle/Yorkie terrier/Maltese mix aka a mutt! He had no training at all. He was definitely a mess. Anyways, we desperately needed some dog training, and I searched all over Albuquerque. Jon was the only person I could find that offered a free consult. I really didn't want to pay to meet a trainer. What if it didn't work out? However, He came to our house for the consult, and Bolt LOVES him. Jon does 3-4 private lessons (sit, place, walking on a leash) and then "promotes" them to dog group class. He's really patient, loves to talk about dogs, and helps to trouble shoot weird dog behaviors. We have been in group class for about a month to 6 weeks. Bolt went from being scared of poop bags and not knowing his own name to being able to sit, place, come when called, and is working on down, off, leave it, and leash walking. Group classes are great, everyone is very supportive and friendly, plus Bolt gets to work on tuning out distractions, as they are held at local parks. Overall, I have been SO happy with Jon and Swagger Dog Training. He's amazing and the service he provides is top notch. If you need a dog trainer, PICK JON.

Katie is well behaved, mostly, and is now a big sister. Hoping to get our 25 pd. labradoodle trained by him. If you've ever researched dog trainers you know that that are many that overcharge, don't return phone calls or texts or do what they say they can do. Jon is a star!

Jacinta, the owner of Proton Pawsitive, was recommended to us by a friend, and we are very happy to…read morehave taken the advice. Jacinta was easy to get a hold of, quick to book a convenient first meeting, and we ended up hiring her for a full package training program for our new golden retriever puppy. She always worked around our hectic schedule, and she taught us how to continue the training. Our dog was quickly trained not to pull on her leash, to come and stay, etc. She also provided special training to our three year old son so that he could learn to interact better with the dog. The great thing about Jacinta is that she gives her clients the tools to be able to assist in the training process. We highly recommend her!

We first met Jacinta when she taught the puppy kindergarten class that our German…read moreShepherd/Australian Shepherd, Mochi, attended. We learned a lot and taught some basic manners to our dog. But after about a year Mochi started to bark more and react strongly whenever someone came to the door, and was becoming quite a handful to deal with. We started working with Jacinta in one-on-one lessons, and only halfway through our training plan Mochi is already calming down, learning how to deal with her stress, and responding better to us.

Kirsten helped us see that our dog did seem to have some issues with anxiety which we are working on addressing. I love that her techniques require patience and not the use of choke chains and harsh techniques used by other trainers in the past. She's had to work on the people working with the dog, aka us. It took awhile to get an appointment with her. She spent above and beyond the time we were charged for, because we needed it. She has a true gift for working with dogs and the people that come with them. Looking forward to working with her more in the future.

This is a gem of a place. I insist all my friends who have dogs go through this training course…read more I've had all my dogs go through Acoma and can credit what I have learned in my class to saving the lives of my dogs time and again. These people KNOW DOGS and can help with difficult cases. Their main focus for the obedience training is safety first, and always. Trish and the gang always do an outstanding job training, and making sure you understand the process. They totally understand dogs and I would say they are Albuquerque's Dog Whisperers. The methods are tried and true and I have seen totally outstanding results from them time and again. The reason for obedience is to teach the owner how to work with the dog and together the owner and dog can learn to have a happy and safe life together. Trish and her ladies will have you and your dog well on their way to a long, happy life. The snake training for life is a superb idea and I will always go back for more. :) VERY HAPPY CAMPER. For those that gave a review citing 'fear and intimidation' system was used, did you go to the same place I did? I can hardly believe that. You need to learn to be fully integrated with your dog, which at some point will include discipline, not to be confused with fear and intimidation. For those that coddle their dogs, that method will hardly do the trick for ensuring a safe and happy life together. This is a very good training place, bar non, BEST IN THE CITY. That's a fact, Jack! :D
