About Swagger Dog Training

Meet the Trainer

My name is Jon Bourque.  I've owned dogs since 1996, and have been working with dogs professionally since 2008.  

 

I hold a degree in Animal Care and Science, and am an American Schutzhund & USCA Certified Helper for protection sports.  I have a thorough understanding of all training methods, including positive reinforcement and old school correction-based training.

 

My approach is a balanced style that varies slightly for each dog.  It imparts focus and makes training enjoyable and fun by turning the owner into the reward, and I use appropriate levels of correction only if needed.


My specialties are: 
Advanced Off-Leash Training
Raising and Training Puppies
Working with First-Time Dog Owners

Meet Pants (Retired)

Pants is my demo dog, business partner, and the face of Swagger Dog Training.  Born 1-18-2013, he is 50% Beauceron and 50% Doberman.  Enjoy these photos of him, and check out his fan page!

My Other Dogs

All dogs 16 weeks and older must have proof of Rabies vaccination.  Puppies under 16 weeks are not required to.
