"When we decided to get a puppy we knew our priorities were to raise an obedient, fun loving, well-mannered dog.
After interviewing several trainers we chose Euro-Training and John O'Connor even though it meant a 45-minute commute, each way, every week and a longer training commitment than we had expected. In our initial interview with him it was clear that John was extremely knowledgeable and truly had the best interest of both dog and owner at heart. We began our classes when our puppy, Maddie, was 12 weeks old. After a year and a half we continue on a drop-in basis. John taught us to train Maddie, and equally importantly gave us the skills to maintain her high level of obedience and behavior so important to enjoying our dog. Because of her controlled but pleasant behavior Maddie is welcome in most places we go. As psychotherapists we take her to work with us. Her presence is often quite therapeutic for our clients. At the age of one year, she was both on and off lead trained to heel like a champ, could maintain a sit and down-stays for long periods of time, and come on command. Almost every time I, or we, take her out, whether on a walk, shopping, or to a dog park, someone stops to comment on her behavior. Many are so impressed with her that they ask for the name of our trainer. We happily and confidently give our referral to John without reservation. We often refer to John as the "Dog Whisperer".

"We had already attended four dog training programs when a friend recommended John O'Connor.
John told us that our dog was very well trained but needed to do better with us. We had also experienced difficulty with her aggression toward other dogs, so taking her out to play was a bit risky.
We accordingly began training with John and over a period of time we learned to better understand our dog's temperament and personality, and how to handle her accordingly.
The training was the best investment we have made because Laika is now very tolerant of other dogs, is great to walk on leash, and does excellently off leash in parks and on trails. We certainly achieved the goals we set in the area of training our dog."

"We have had many very satisfied clients seek assistance at Euro Training Kennels. Whether for routine puppy training, advanced specialized training or correcting behavioral problems, John and Kate O'Connor have always been helpful, dedicated and honest.
It is always a pleasure to refer to professionals with their knowledge and expertise."
