SAME ABUSE.NEW NAME.DON'T BE FOOLEDOnce an Abuser. Always an Abuser.

In April 2026, LVMPD, Animal Control and other local and state authorities raided our previous business, Working Dogs of Nevada after a lengthy felony animal cruelty investigation. 35 dogs were seized and our license was revoked. Two of our employees, John Johnstone and Tabitha Berube, were arrested. Johnstone was an illegal, was deported back to his home country, and the District Attorney was bought off and dropped charges against Berube.

Less than a month later, we came up with a new scam and decided to open another business called Nevada Canine Training Facility. We quietly opened in the very same building, but used a different person to register the business as to not be flagged by authorities or the public.

This page documents the extensive public record and our repeated attempts to deceive the public so we can continue to neglect and abuse animals.

Official Statement // Evidence Exhibit

“You have to look at, is this outside of the scope of practice? Is this bad training tactics or is this just straight cruelty? To us, it was outside of training practices. It was straight-up cruelty.”

Just a new sign — the same people — the same cruelty

What his bio should really say

The Reality

Zachary fraudulently opened Nevada Canine Training Academy after the police raided and shut down his previous business, Working Dogs of Nevada. He has spent more than a decade abusing and neglecting dogs, fueled by a lifelong love of torturing animals.

His rap sheet includes animal abuse, cruelty, torture and even death. Zachary believes successful dog training involves dehydration and starvation until the dog does what he wants it to. By deceiving owners about what he does to their dogs, this allows him to continue his reign of terror on our fur-babies.

There are hundreds of dogs from his previous businesses that are still unaccounted for. Many, if not all of them were presumably buried in the mountains where his family has property.

Do not bring your dog to Nevada Canine if you love them. It could be the last time you see them alive.
