Welcome
Welcome to the world of dog training.
Unlike other fields, our profession is not about having systems, outlines or processes.
Our K-9's are not machines or numbers; they are living beings relating to our environment through their interpretation.
High-level dog training is about making the adjustments that will facilitate learning not only for you but also your K-9 partner.
Being a good handler, trainer and educator is about being in a constant search for knowledge; the learning never ends.
High level training is about finding your individual K-9's strengths and utilizing those strengths in training you as a team.
This flexibility is what puts John Soares ahead of the class.
John Soares is committed to bringing dog training to the level of an ART.
Whether your working dog interest is in schutzhund, learning to become a dog trainer, working with accelerates, competition obedience or tracking...
let John Soares introduce you to THE ART OF DOG TRAINING.
about john
Training
 Dogs love to learn and interact instinctively to the world and those around by this unique genetic predisposition.
They deserve to share their life with a handler that enjoys these qualities and attributes.
Unfortunately, when the needs of these dogs are not met, these drives and impulses develop into behaviors people find difficult to live with or don't
know how to cultivate into a productive manner.

Seminars
 As a National and International competitor, John Soares understands the concerns of trainers and handlers.
He has had experience training and trialing different breeds. Outside of needing a dog with the genetics and ability for our sport,
it's the blending of characters (gdo and handler) that holds the "magic" in the team.
"Unison between dog and handler is needed to succeed...it's a marriage."

BERNARD B. KERIK
Police Commissioner
City of New York (retired)
www.thekerikgroup.com
 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.
