ROJECT - PUPPY TRAINING
Being first time puppy parents, my mom and dad had tons of questions...how to house train me, how to help me walk nicely on leash, and how to politely greet guests. I’m so glad they found Bark For For Attention. Jamaal did an amazing job teaching them all these things and more. Highly recommended by my parents and me!!” - Gracie and family
Karen Brown
PROJECT - Reactive Dog
My parents always thought I was a challenge but they didn’t seek help until they couldn’t deal anymore with me barking at every dog I saw on our morning walks. After working with Jamaal and Bark For Attention for about a month I was a changed dog. No more barking and pulling on my leash. Thank you for teaching and helping me and my parents learn!” -Winnie and parents

Meet Jamaal, Our Head Dog Trainer
Jamaal Johnson, CDT & Behavior Specialist.
Hi, I'm Jamaal!
I'm a canine coach and founder of Bark For Attention. I specialize in coaching frustrated dog owners, helping them build an incredible relationship with their canine companion and unlock a dream life together. After Retiring from the Army I began my training journey training my very own service dog named Sarge and graduated From Catch Canine Academy Dog Training School to become a certified dog trainer. Now I am on a journey to teach people how to communicate with their dog & see their relationship thrive. I want to lead people & their pets on a walk through the park of chaos and into the boundless meadow of mutual understanding of love & respect.

FAQ’S
Got questions? Bark For Attention has answers!
HERE are some of those frequently asked questions:
+ Is Jamaal the right trainer for you?
All training is science-based training courtesy of Dr. Ian Dunbar. I use positive reinforcement and scientifically sound training techniques for a fun process and long-lasting results. There is a hierarchy to training and there are dogs/situations that may result in different approaches and techniques.
I’m not like a lot of other trainers. What I offer is something truly unique — unique because I break down the walls that are keeping you from living the best life with your dog, and then we rebuild from the ground up together. My training is intense and life-changing. Working with me means you have to bring as much to the table as I do (and I bring a lot)! You have to be willing to work hard and be committed to making the changes in your life that need to be made. If you think you’re ready to go the distance with your dog, then we'll be a great match! Everyone around your dog influences him, so I need everybody to be on board with everything – my tools, my techniques, my philosophy, the exercise, and the household management program.
P.S. Exercise and routine is key to the success of my training.
+ What is your style of training?
We are take scentific approach of learning therory using postivie reenforcement primarily. However we also use a Balanced Training at Bark For Attention, sometimes referred to as “Yes/No” Training. This approach training as a way to give our dogs interruptive feedback. Feedback is essential to providing dogs the information regarding which type of behavior is wanted and unwanted. Interruptive feedback means we are giving the dogs immediate feedback (positive or negative) so that dogs understand what the owner wants. Interrupting dogs at the moment directly ties the negative behavior to the negative consequence or the positive behavior to the positive consequence. Basically, we use both rewards and negative consequences to train your dog.
+ What tools do you use?
We use a variety of tools at Bark For Attention Dog Training. Each tool is selected for your unique dog. Here is a list of some of the tools we frequently use:
• Treats • Air Tool • Prong Collar • No Pull Harness • Halti Head Collar
+ Do you finance or have payment plans?
We do not currently finance, we do have payment plans as [follows][2]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lXrGTndBM9pXvqeK-OQLkRZ2pkGarIWj/view?usp=sharing
