BEST DOG TRAINING YOU WILL EVER ENCOUNTER. WE WENT TO JOHN FOR HELP WITH A HIGH DRIVE, AGGRESSIVE GSD WHO WAS ACTING OUT AND SCARING PEOPLE. WE ENDED UP WITH A MUCH MORE OBEDIENT DOG WITH A LOT MORE PATIENCE, OBEDIENCE, AND ABILITY TO DEAL SUCCESSFULLY WITH STRESSFUL SITUATIONS. HIS WORK WITH ALL DOGS, NO MATTER THE BREED OR BEHAVIOR ISSUE, IS QUITE AMAZING. FINALLY- HIS INTUITIVE, CALM WAY OF DEALING WITH DOGS ALLOWS THEM BECOME THE HAPPY, WELL-TRAINED COMPANIONS THAT WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO SEE." - ERNA N. - LYNWOOD, WA

This man is truly amazing!! A soul who really understand all dogs, and gets them to remind immediately. This power couple can save the day!!!" - Janee' C.

Recently visited Sparks K9 with my dog Hank. I noticed results right away. Hank's less fearful of people, wags his tail when people approach and "zero" fear aggression. I can't thank John enough for helping myself and Hank correct the hang ups. Hank's had nothing but good experiences since. Highly recommend Sparks K9." - Jason S. - Portland, OR

We had one 2 hour session with John yesterday and are amazed at the difference. Happy dogs and happy owners! Thanks John, can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks for more!"- Theresa B. - Everett, WA

Simply the best bully trainer you will find! John Sparks is so connected with every dog he works. I've seen it with my own eyes and spent time working dogs with him. So committed, so focused.. amazing!" - Dana C. - Orange County, CA

Fantastic! John and Kimmy not only put Luna on the right track with a more stable state-of-mind, the ability to recognize her choices and make good ones, but they also armed me with the tools and information I need to continue her training, stabilize the state of mind of the other dogs in my pack, and integrate Luna peacefully (over time). Luna was pulled off the streets with severe mange and we...nt to a high-kill shelter in CA. She had been bounced around by several well-intentioned folks in more than one rescue who were doing the best they could to save her life; but at some point Luna's state of mind came to be VERY unstable regarding other animals. She didn't get this way over night and she won't be consistent (by herself) over night but we are on the right track and we will set our pack up to succeed with the tools, support, and information John and Kimmy Sparks shared at Sparks K9". - Orinda B. - Tri-Cities, WA

Love these guys, John does amazing work teaching owners and dogs ." - Sidney T. - WA
