Professional Comments | Client Testimonials
I began my law enforcement career as a U.S. Army Military Police Patrol Dog Handler in 1975 and ultimately retired as the 40th Police Commissioner for the City of New York in December 2001, some 26 years later.

Throughout my career, I have seen one K-9 program after another, in various police, military and civilian organizations and have met some of the best trainers in the world, but I have never met anyone as accomplished and experienced as John Soares.

For the past three years he has trained the German Shepherds that protect my family and me and I couldn’t ask for more. His knowledge, experience and expertise in the field is unparalleled and is only over-shadowed by his personal touch that has helped my wife and kids feel more comfortable around working dogs.

I have, and would recommend John Soares to anyone that requires professional dog training at the highest levels. You will not find better.

Dog Trainer Course Tracks at John Soares K9 Training
“A good dog trainer can be defined as knowing how the predictability of one action will influence a desired action.” 

The dog training profession is a service – a service that is based on clear communication. A dog trainer’s course should provide you with the skills to train dogs as well as an understanding of mistakes people generally make which can induce disobedience, behavioral problems etc. Clients appreciate this education – it makes them feel part of their pet’s or K-9’s training experience.

Remember, today we live in an information based society. People like to learn. We find this consideration leaves a lasting impression bringing you success and REFERRALS.

The pet industry has grown tremendously in the last few years. People who have dog training skills are in demand. More dogs are being used professionally than ever before. Our courses are designed to simplify and show you how to shape behavior.

Commercial Course for Becoming a Dog Trainer

Our Commercial Dog Trainer’s Course will teach you how to make the common pet conducive to living with a family. This training is the foundation to making the pet socially adjustable to human interaction and social settings. You will learn how to establish a clear line of communication between the pet and its owner. If you currently have a dog, it would be trained as part of your apprenticeship. The course will cover:

  • Basic Obedience (On-Leash)
  • Advance Obedience (Off-Leash)
  • Controlling behavior problems
  • Basic maintenance and dog cleaning
  • Proper client interaction
  • How to get business
Master Courses

This Course for Dog Trainers covers training that is directed at using the dogs natural drives and instincts. This course goes beyond making a dog socially adjustable. It’s about cultivating present drives and tendencies (which are genetic) into a productive manner.
