About Pack Leader Training
Jonathan Wong, Owner & Trainer
It is very rare to find a dog trainer who is both experienced in handling complex cases and skilled in effective communication. Jonathan Wong, Owner & Trainer, brings his customer service, technical training skills, compassion, and impeccable professionalism to the field.
He shows owners how to be confident, and active children and teens become more mature at handling dogs. He has trained pregnant mothers up their necks with rambunctious dogs to couples with young children and nippy dogs, and renters with howlers, to elderly couples with large breeds, and everyone else in-between.
Vivian Wong, Dog Boarding Expert, and Marketing & Finance Manager
Jonathan and his wife, Vivian, also provide a unique home-based dog boarding program that allows your pup to relax in a quiet environment where they receive individual care and affection. Since space is limited, they only take on one or two dogs at any given time who are past or existing dog training clients. They have spent countless hours walking dogs, rain or shine, around their neighborhood.
Vivian manages marketing and finances. She is also the CEO of Legacy Branding SF where she helps small businesses achieve success online and in person (www.legacybrandingsf.com).
Nakita, Demo Dog
Nakita is our dog who helped us launch our business back in 2018. She is a whippet husky mix from Milo Foundation in Richmond, CA. Jonathan and Vivian adopted Nakita in December of 2017 and this girl quickly took to training. She is one smart, sassy, and trainable dog who loves affection, structure, and a nice warm bed to nap in. You can expect to meet her during a portion of your outdoor dog training sessions. She is looking forward to sailing into retirement once Raymond is ready to take the reins early 2025.
Raymond, Demo Dog in Training
Jonathan and Vivian adopted this gentle giant from a mobile dog adoption event put on by Contra Costa Animal Services back in August 2023. Raymond, formerly known as Bochy, is a black panther pit bull who loves to hang out and has the kind of personality you wish some people you know would have - friendly, loving, and so much fun. Every groomer and vet tech and doctor have praised him for being the bestest boy. Pretty soon, he will be the next face of Pack Leader Training as the demo dog to succeed Nakita. Expect to meet Raymond in 2025 during your outdoor dog training sessions!
Our Baby
Jonathan and Vivian had a baby not too many years ago, so they can relate to new parents and preparing for parenthood with dogs in the home. Jonathan is excellent in training families expecting newborns with indoor management and behavior modification. You can expect his kid to be busy giving belly rubs and reading books to your dog during boarding season!
