Dans les mots de nos clients.
"The techniques included leash pops or snaps every time our Welshie moved out of a heel position… the type of physical corrections being used did not match my training approach. I want to show my dog what I want him to do in a positive reinforcement manner, not with negative physical corrections. I have no doubt that Jon's techniques have taught dogs to walk properly on a loose leash — I just wish the BetterDog website had made clear that those techniques include leash feedback."
"Training style fit really does matter, and we respect your decision to stop when it didn't line up with how you prefer to work with your dog. At BetterDog, we're consent-based and humane, but we're not purely treat-driven. We use clear emotional markers, structure, and at times leash feedback — never hands-on correction — to help dogs settle and stop feeling like they have to manage the walk themselves."
Chaque approche ne convient pas à chaque famille, et c’est normal. Nous préférons le dire clairement. Les citations sont conservées dans leur langue d’origine.

Omg, what to say in so many words, we had Jon, he is amazing. I learned so much in our first session, saw so much changes and better communication between my dogs and I. No shock collars, no treats, just commands and gratification. I am so much more confident now with my dogs.…

I booked the Introductory training, John arrived on time, explained his process and technique and we got right into using them. Harley, a five=year young chocolate Labrador Retriever, learned quickly and is still learning. She obeys well unless she is in a crowd or already…

Our session was only a few hours ago and I am amazed by the noticeable improvements already. Jon left us with a clear action plan that we look forward to implementing over the next two weeks. Betterdog has found a sweet spot between harsh punishment and treat training; the…

After our initial session with Nancy, we immediately noticed positive changes in our dog. She is more relaxed, more confident, and much less reactive. This is after having reactivity problems for years. We have especially noticed her improved manners when company is over and her…

2 hours of training with Jon has made more difference in my 2 dogs’ behaviour than 7 weeks of board and train made!! I am beyond impressed and exited to think about the new life we can start to have together. Reactivity, prey drive, barking, jumping on people have all been…

I have worked with Jon about 3 years ago and it changed the way I train my dogs (I was more in control, able to train them new tricks, etc). Now, my husband and I are expecting a baby and thought our dogs needed new training to build on their current skills to grow with our…

Jon is an incredible dog trainer! We saw fantastic results after just one session and will definitely be continuing with his training. I honestly felt so much relief—I had started to think the barking would never stop. We’ve been working on the tips he gave us, and so far…

We're just at the start of our journey with Jon at Better Dog, but delighted with the process and results so far! Already having a small dog at home, we knew we'd need professional guidance to help introduce our new (much larger) rescue pup. Just two days after bringing Buddy…

I wish I had found Better Dog sooner! After our initial intro session with Nancy we've already noticed a difference in our dogs. For the first time in forever I was able to head out to backyard and not get caught in the doggie stampede. I feel like our family has the tools to…

All I can say is WOW, I was sceptical of some reviews saying they’ve seen monumental changes in under 24 hours but they are all 100% factual. Jon is very knowledgeable and clear and direct with communication and what needs to be done. I have to American Bullies that are heavy…

Jon has been wonderful to work with! After having a really unpleasant experience at a month-long overnight training program, I felt defeated and started looking for safe, non-aggressive training options. Jon immediately put my mind at ease with his approach to working with my…

This has got to be the best trainer ive come across, we had Jon for our four dogs, two of which we're highly problematic. He came in super well organized with a plan for each dog already which he can tailor further. He had full confidence around some rather rude dogs and we…
“He had an arrogant swagger about him and now he looks humbled.”
“She's a pleasure to walk. Beautiful, beautiful.”
“Oh my gosh, I feel like there's hope.”
“Before it was just death and mayhem — now not so much.”
“This sounds very positive — and it's early — but I love your philosophy.”
“Look how she stays behind now. Tail relaxed. Much better.”
“Now she's not looking at the cookies. She's looking at you because you're a badass boss.”
“Look at that dog… that's amazing!”
“I've never seen him this calm.”
“Look at that — she's now choosing you over the treat.”
"While sitting in the hospital after being bitten breaking up a dog fight, my husband was ready to rehome our second dog. Jon came back over and worked with us until we were confident. Our dogs are best friends again."
"I sat outside my apartment door on a chair for the entire hour and a half and listened. No barking. I couldn't believe it. For the first time I felt there was a light at the end of the tunnel."
"My 4-year-old French bulldog Major went from wearing a muzzle when Jon arrived to obeying all commands and letting Jon scratch him. He does not take well to strangers. This was life-changing."
