While it may not be part of basic obedience training, the Stand command plays a crucial role in advanced training and sport work.

Just came across this wonderful review from a valued client, and I'm over the moon! 🌟 Training dogs, especially for sport work, has always been my passion. However, the true satisfaction and joy come from witnessing dogs in our program for obedience and more, like the amazing Motley, advance to harmonious and fulfilled lives at home after our board and train program. It’s incredible to know that our efforts here at JSK9 not only help in overcoming challenges but significantly improve the daily lives of both dogs and their families. A big thank you to Motley's family for trusting us and for recommending our services. Stories like these are what keep us motivated to do better every day.

Life is an anthology of experiences, and dogs play their parts in various chapters, leaving paw prints on the pages of our existence. They're with us through life's highs and lows, yet in their limited span, we're effectively their everything. This unrivaled commitment they show demands reciprocal clarity and guidance from us.

📣 Shout out to Rocky, the amazing German Shepherd who recently graduated from our Board & Train program! 🐾🎓

Rocky, we applaud your hard work, dedication and spirit. You've truly been a star pupil! We've watched you grow and learn with every passing day, tackling each challenge with courage and determination. Your progress has been nothing short of inspirational.

We're so proud of your achievements and can't wait to see where your new skills take you. Remember, the sky's the limit for you, Rocky! 🌟

Keep being the wonderful, intelligent, and well-behaved dog that you are. Your family must be so proud of you based on their recent review! Here's to many more adventures together. Way to go, Rocky! 🎉🐶

"In June we sent our 18 month old rescue German Shepherd, Rocky to John and his fabulous team because a dear friend suggested it. My first dog, and a rescue— I wanted to make sure Rocky received the basic obedience and care he didn’t receive early on. We sent him to the 5 week board and train and the results were incredible. Rocky gained fluency in all the basic commands and is also doing great off leash. John is very hands on and takes the time to train / educate/ follow up with both the dog and their handlers! Rocky is an energetic sweet boy and our household runs much smoother because of this training. As well, living in close proximity to other people and dogs having fluency in basic commands is essential. I feel confident because of this training especially considering Rocky is a large dog! We are extremely grateful to John and his team for providing top notch services all around. And I have to say— John’s energy and vibe is calm and focused which I found reassuring as did Rocky. Highly recommend. Thank you John!"

Family protection dog "Kash" the Belgian Malinois and this adorable little one have formed an unbreakable bond. 🐾

Kash went to a loving home as a family protection dog who completed our extensive obedience and protection dog training. He is trained for real world scenarios, and being acclimated into a home with children and other dogs was a significant part of the training.

🐾 Check out Rottweiler's Board & Train success story! 🐾

After completing John Soares K9 Training's intensive program, this handsome guy has transformed into a well-behaved and obedient dog. We're thrilled to see how much he's grown over the course of his training journey!

Beforehand, he struggled with pulling on the leash, jumping on guests, and excessive barking. But with the help of John Soares K9 Training's experienced trainers, he's now able to walk calmly by his owner's side, greet visitors politely, and listen to commands with ease. He also likes our JSK9 hats.

If you're struggling with similar behavioral issues with your best friend, we highly recommend reaching out to us. Our program has done wonders for breeds big and small and we're confident they can help your pup too!

Looking for a fun, friendly, and informative IGP training experience that's local to New Jersey, Long Island, New York City, and Pennsylvania?

Our new IGP/Schutzhund field in Middletown, NY is the perfect place to train your K9. With over 30 years of experience, John Soares K9 Training, LLC is an ideal environment to take your training to the next level. John Soares has competed both nationally and internationally at the highest levels of the sport.

We have everything you need to get started. You just need to bring your K9 that's appropriate for the sport and a positive attitude. Many breeds show an aptitude for it. Several different dog breeds are suitable for IGP training – German Shepherds, Dobermans, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Dutch Shepherds, and Giant Schnauzers all make excellent working dogs and can be trained to a high level in this discipline. However, it is important to bear in mind that not all dogs will have the same aptitude for this type of work – some may simply lack the necessary drive or focus.

No dog? No problem. We can help you identify the right K9 for your needs if you're serious about getting into this type of training and competing.

Contact us today to get started on your training journey! Call John at (973) 506-4644 to schedule an evaluation/introduction. If you don't yet own a dog appropriate for IGP, we may be able to help you find the right dog.

P.S. Be on the lookout for videos of our field to see what our training facilities look like. 😉 And don't be shy about reaching out to us. We're more than happy to answer your questions to see if you and your dog have what it takes...

Who says two's a crowd? These two best friends are walking side by side, spreading smiles and joy everywhere they go!

Obedience training is essential for a healthy bond between humans and their K9s. Proper obedience is critical for peaceful coexistence between people and their canine companions especially when there is more than one dog in the household.

If you think your dog is lacking obedience or you have a multi-dog household with the dynamic out of control, give us a call today for a pet evaluation: (973) 506-4644 📱
