Every once in a while you meet someone who impresses you with as much of what they don't say as with what they do.
John Soares is a trainer who's hand and un-wavering gaze speaks of deep ability. With such a man you know that when their face morphs into a kindly smile you have earned their affection, beyond that which is easily garnered by a writer's usual extroverted
antics. Perhaps John has been genetically engineered to control the minds of dogs,
I don't know. Either way, take this trickster's advice. Trust this man.

by Francis Metcalf (National-International competitor of French Ring, Mondio Ring and
certified Decoy)

Training with John

Beyond the basics of training good manners, there are breeds that require further consideration. These are often breeds which were bred to serve and work for man. Due to this reason for DOMESTICATION these breeds were specifically bred with certain drives and instincts to perform specialized tasks. This type of dog has a biological need and/or initiate impulse to stimuli that makes behavior and response predictable... reason for DOMESTICATION. These 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 them into a productive manner.

John Soares has made a name for himself by working with such dogs. John brings his experience, knowledge and success to you. He has lived as a trainer in both the United States and in Europe -training trainers, competing with different breeds and proving that his methods work for everyone.

ACHIEVEMENTS A commitment that few have been able to accomplish. John Soares has earned the highest honors at regional levels, national levels and at world championship levels.

Throughout his career John Soares has offered comprehensive programs to handlers in theory and practical areas at the highest levels of training. He has been published on topics such as drives and instincts, process of domestication, dog sports, Schutzhund/IPO, French Ring, dog training techniques etc...
