John Walton School For Dogs - Dog Trainer in Sarasota, FL

Sep 2023

John trained our 80 pound labradoodle, Arlo. John’s dog training skills are by far the best in town. He works with the pets through praise and repetition. John builds trust and bonds quickly with the dogs he trains. We continued to work with John after the initial training was over until Arlo was fully trained off leash. He is such a well behaved dog thanks to John. I enjoy walking him off leash around my neighborhood and feel comfortable Arlo will listen to my commands and maintain his calm demeanor throughout the day! I highly recommend John for any of your dog trainer needs.

Yes…I am on my second crazy Goldendoodle, Harley, who I absolutely love BUT he needed so much more than I could give him so I hired John Walton to help me! He worked miracles and Harley now responds to commands and he is so much happier. I learned how to control him by spending quality time and by making sure he uses his brain… because he is so smart!John is my go to resource for all my training needs!

I was having trouble socializing my fearful and protective rescue doberman. John took a lot time to listen to my needs and was thorough and extremely knowledgeable, not only teaching me appropriate technique, but sharing a lot of insight about my dog's behavior. Training sessions were customized, fun, and positive. Applying the methods John taught me helped strengthen the bond between me and my dog, and she and I have made so much progress, my neighbors ask if I'm a trainer. I just give them John's number. He is tremendously knowledgeable and experienced. I wouldn't trust anyone else to train me and my dog!!
