I had a terrible trainer for a very short time prior, and was hesitant to try someone new. My boy Finn was a crazy Labrador. John taught me how to be in tune with my dog, and I have learned how to be with Finn as a team. I can't express enough gratitude. I'm now educated and Finn still loves going to group class every Saturday after three years with this trainer. FIVE STARS! FIVE STARS!

Our 8 month old puppy Benny was…read moreentering adolescence and we definitely needed more structure and support in our attempt to train him, especially as he became more reactive with other dogs. John offered a customized training program for Benny, which not only provided him with a foundation of obedience, but also guided us along the way through multiple personal and group classes, to help maintain all that Benny had learned from him. These classes gave us personal instructions and practice, while also providing Benny the socialization and exposure to other dogs he needed, but in a controlled environment. We're so thankful for all of John's expertise, patience, and time he's taken to support us! You know that you've picked the right trainer when your dog seems to enjoy seeing him, as much as you!

My puppy is now 8 months…read moreold and has spent a total of 5 weeks here (3 weeks for board-and-train and 2 weeks for regular boarding). As a first-time puppy owner, I wasn't sure what to expect or if puppies just naturally outgrow certain behavioral issues. Either way, this is the only formal training she has ever had, and the results speak for themselves. She came back so incredibly well-behaved. And has reminded well behaved. When we go out in public, people always come up to see her because she's cute, but what they *constantly* comment on is how exceptionally well-behaved she is for an 8-month-old puppy. It is so validating to hear that from strangers! I love and fully agree with Anthony's methods and what he does here. If you want a well-behaved dog, Powerhouse K9 is the only place to go. Highly recommend! Full disclosure: I have a pure poodle and they are known to be smart. I brought her to PowerHouseK9 initially at 4.5 months, only weeks after adopting her so my reviews are specific to this. I cannot speak to any other situation or dog breed.

However, we as a family listened, questioned and did the work and now have an adolescent standard poodle who is well on his way to becoming a fantastic member of our family and our community. His view is that dog owners must first be trained to understand their animals and then taught how to train their animal. In our case it all came together, not immediately but within the 6 training sessions. Our sessions with Rob were informative, humorous, and even fun when we the owners were put to task for our failings. Great work Rob. Thank you.

Jordan is an exceptional trainer, and I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of help…read morewith their dog. We adopted a 1-year-4-month-old Rottweiler named Draco. He was initially a sweetheart, potty-trained, and crate-trained, but he was reactive and skittish. He had no recall and was not good on the leash. When he was in the house, he was fine, but he would bark and lunge when people came over. We had never had a big dog before, so he was a challenging addition to our family. I did my research and found Jordan. From our first conversation, she provided us with a realistic picture of what to expect. She suggested boarding training and arranged for a trainer to meet with us and assess Draco. They then provided us with their recommendations. We knew the importance of proper training, especially with a 130lb Rottweiler and wanted to be responsible large dog owners. We were hesitant about boarding because we were afraid Draco wouldn't remember us, but we decided to go ahead because it was the best thing for him. We initially signed up for the 6-week program but upgraded to the 8-week program because he needed more training on his obedience. We received weekly updates and videos, and tips along the way. When we got Draco back, he was a completely different dog. He was very responsive to commands, and Jordan went over the training with us to ensure we understood. She provided us with detailed instructions and ongoing support. She emphasized the importance of continuing the training on a daily basis but assured us that we could make it work with our busy schedules. She set realistic goals and was always available to answer any questions we had along the way. It has been a year since we got Draco back from boarding training, and he is still thriving. His recall is excellent, and for the most part he is very responsive to commands. He has a playful personality so sometime he will push the limit but always reverts to listening. We are still working on socializing him, but he is not reactive. He simply walks away when he doesn't want to meet new people. Overall, we are very pleased with the transformation Jordan did with Draco. I highly recommend Mantra K9 Training to anyone in need of help with their dog.

Her deep understanding of canine psychology and her ability to connect with dogs is beyond what I have ever seen before, as is the instantaneous connection dogs have with her in return. From the first session, Moose immediately clicked with Gwen and was excited to work with her (and I was, too!). She gave me clear guidance and personalized training that shaped my behavior as a dog owner and, in turn, shaped my puppy's behavior. Moose has grown into a well-mannered, confident, and happy companion. Our bond has deepened, and I credit Gwen for helping us build a solid foundation based on trust and respect that'll last a lifetime! Gwen was professional, reliable, and punctual to each session, showing up fully present and with a positive attitude. I hope you and your pup are fortunate enough to work with Gwen.

We had adopted our Kody boy 8 months ago from a shelter. It was a very hard five months trying to…read moreget him settled with a routine. We all had different ways of how to train him and it was causing a rift in the family. I was turned down by some trainers until I came across Jonathan Wong's page. He was local, he was fast to get back to me and he was willing to give us a chance after everything I told him. Kody still has a long way to go and I will continue with Jonathan as his trainer, but it is night and day after three months of training with Jonathan. He was dog and people aggressive, to the point we had to avoid them entirely. We can now go for walks, albeit we move opposite of any dog and can keep walking without any barking or pulling. He was always actively pulling on the leash and bad at recall. He is loose leashed now and responds with recall with our daughter. In the end I had to get use to the idea that Kody was a crate or muzzle dog when it came to large crowds or people in our home. I felt awful but Jonathan was so supportive and positive as I came to terms with it. I hope as we continue to train with Jonathan and Kody builds his confidence that soon things might change for him. Jonathan has such a kind soul and so encouraging when it comes to both us and Kody. I cannot thank Jonathan enough for what he has done for us. He left solid foundations for us to grow on. Kody is such a sweet and smart boy, and we always want the best for him. Jonathan truly is the best.
