Sj Elite Dog Training

My partner and I cannot say enough nice things about Juan and his dog training program! Juan came recommended to us by a coworker who still actively works with Juan and his “pack”. We enrolled our puppy (4.5-5 months old) in Juan’s level 1 training/puppy package and it has changed all of our lives! We have learned everything from basic commands to the “perfect” leash walk to in-house training (i.e., potty training tips, excessive barking, counter surfing, etc.). We started training in home and worked towards venturing out front, to the neighborhood, to stores, restaurants, and busy downtown areas! Juan listens to not only your questions/needs, but to that of your dogs! He works well with our stubborn gal and has never left us feeling uneasy about the direction we were heading! We will be continuing our training to Juan’s level 2 training which focuses on off-leash life! We can’t wait and highly recommend Juan and his services!

Highly recommend SJ Elite Dog Trainin! Juan tailors each session based on training goals and our dog’s needs - mostly training at home, and going outdoors or around other dogs when distractions are needed. His approach is calm, gentle, and consistent, which worked perfectly for our energetic but sometimes stubborn dog. After completing the first phase of obedience training, our dog went from pulling on leash and getting distracted by other dogs to walking nicely on leash, heeling without pulling, and staying calm during on-leash greetings. Juan focuses on clear, consistent rules without being harsh, while helping strengthen the bond between dog and owner. He’s also very responsive over text whenever questions come up. Overall, our dog is now much more controllable and well behaved, even in busy environments. We’re able to travel confidently with her - including a month in Hawaii, where she was frequently complimented on her behavior.

Juan came highly recommended by another of his clients. He came by to introduce himself and us to his program. Over the course of several months we met weekly to follow the program. Level 1 is about learning the basics (for us and our dog) - it is the foundation to Level 2 and Level 3. We just finished Level 2 and can’t believe how far our dog has come. Juan is friendly, positive, and flexible. Most of all he is amazing with dogs.

I cannot say enough good things about SJ Elite Dog Training! From the very first session, Juan showed an incredible understanding of dog behavior and a genuine passion for what he does. My dog, Rufus, was full of energy, but with Juan's help and determination he became very obedient throughout the training. Juan's methods are firm but kind, and he took the time to explain everything clearly, not just to train the dog, but to empower me as an owner. He tailors his training to each dog's personality and needs, and the results are truly amazing. If you're looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and dedicated trainer, look no further than Juan.

Working with Juan has truly transformed my experience as a dog owner. I initially sought his help to improve obedience and build my dog’s confidence particularly with leash and off-leash control and Juan exceeded every expectation. His training not only reshaped my dog’s behavior but also deepened the trust and connection between us. I can now confidently have her off-leash in any environment, knowing she'll stay engaged and responsive. Juan is patient, professional, and has an incredible understanding of dogs. I wouldn't think twice about returning to him with any future dogs. If you're looking to build a strong, lasting bond with your pet through effective, reliable training, I can't recommend him enough.
