If you are looking for a trainer who truly understands the heart of a dog, I cannot recommend Young's Dog Training enough. We sent our rescue puppy to him for a board and train program because we were struggling with some difficult behaviors like resource guarding, fear of other dogs, and a habit of stealing items around the house. With three kids at home, we needed a solution that was safe and strictly focused on positive reinforcement. Jonathan delivered exactly that. He does not use shock collars or harsh corrections, which was a non-negotiable for our family.In my experience, Jonathan was more focused on the training itself than on the digital side of things, which I appreciated. We got a few communications (pictures/texts) throughout our dog's training, and the results spoke for themselves. It was clear his attention was entirely on our dog's progress.Our puppy is a far better dog since he came home. We can clearly see the progress and the positive changes in his temperament. Most importantly, one of our children who was a little fearful of the dog is no longer so, and they get along beautifully now. We could not be more thankful for the peace this has brought to our home.What really sets Jonathan apart is the time he spent with us. At the end of the program, he spent hours patiently teaching our whole family how to handle our dog to best maintain everything he had learned. He did not just "fix" the dog; he trained us to be better owners so the transition back into our house was smooth. He had also reached out via text in the weeks and months since our dog's training and held one follow up appointment to see how our puppy is retaining what he learned (and give us some pointers).I also have to mention the kind of person Jonathan is. While our dog was in his care, we had a serious illness in the family. Jonathan was incredibly caring and professional, allowing us to extend our time with him to ease our burden during a very difficult month. He truly went above and beyond when we needed it most. We have already booked him again for a future vacation, and plan to for training refreshers as well.

Jonathan is really helpful and professional. He is the expert of the dog training and behaviors. We worked with him for my 4YO goldendoodle's dog-dog reaction and loose-leash walking. The results turned out very good especially when training an adult dog is harder than the puppy training. The most important thing is my dog adores him! He followed up with us even after we completed the training packages. I highly recommend him!

We’re so thankful for the incredible support and guidance Jonathan has given us during a very challenging time with our puppy. Our puppy wasn’t your typical training situation. Our pup was struggling with growling that overtime lead to biting, and we were feeling lost and overwhelmed.What made the biggest difference was how he helped us understand what our puppy was trying to communicate through body language and emotional cues. He didn’t just train our dog, he taught us how to listen, observe, and respond with empathy and clarity.It’s been a journey that’s required real work (that we are still working on). There were moments when we didn’t know if we were doing things right, and it felt like progress was slow. But with his steady support and encouragement, we’ve started to see meaningful shifts in our puppy’s behavior. Those small breakthroughs have been incredibly rewarding and have given us hope.We’re still in the thick of it, but knowing we have his expertise and kindness to lean on makes all the difference. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate, and he deeply cares. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone facing behavioral challenges with their dog. He’s not just a trainer; he’s a true partner in this puppy journey.
