I had some questions about training a potential service dog for a PTSD patient and I spent a good amount of time visiting with Jon over the phone about the potential matching of a particular puppy and the person in question. It was obvious to me that he knows his stuff. He cares deeply about dogs and he will carefully weigh all options to make the best choices for the animals in his care. I can’t recommend him enough.

I adopted a 5 mo old Catahoula mix pup that I was told was deaf but that didn't matter with our dog trainer, Jonathan, as everything is done with hand motions. It is, in my opinion, to have your pup do what you want with a gesture and not letting everyone know or hear it. And Jonathan taught me on how to have Giggles respond to what I wanted. To have a trainer take and train your dog I don't think is always best. But you must work with your dog every day, maybe 3x a day. Giggles is still work in progress but he now sits, lie down, can walk over him without flinching, loose leash walk and roll over.

My dog has been transformed from a nervous fear biter to a playful fun loving pet! My 10 year old dog had always been the nervous type and if he was around anyone new (outside our immediate family) he usually bit them, including kids. Imagine our concern when our first granddaughter, a 2 year old, came to live with us full time. My vet and another friend, both recommended 360 Buckaroos. With Jonathan’s training tips we were soon able to let the dog be around the grandkid and then the magic happened. They formed a bond and have become best friends, something I never expected! This could not have happened without the help of 360 Buckaroos!! Thank you so very much!
