Hear What Our Clients Are Saying

"I can't say enough good things about Jenna. I chose her for training because of her impressive resume full of certifications and experience, as well as for her force free approach. Just reviewing her website and social media you can tell Jenna stays up to date on the latest research and is an expert in her field. My pup, Jack, and I both learned so much from her. She tailors her sessions to each dog's individual needs and personality and is highly in tune to what they are capable of on any given day without pushing them over their limit. Jack absolutely loved working with Jenna and lit up every time she would visit. Jenna is an incredible person and an incredible trainer. I'm so thankful to have worked with her!”

-Samatha and Jack

'"Jenna is an incredibly talented trainer. She is responsive, adaptive, understanding, and treats your dog like her own upon the first meeting. She cares so much for her work and it really shows when your dog reacts and learns in such a rapid manner from her methods. Every time I would schedule a new session I would learn so much and the results speak for themselves. She is certified up to the brim and best of all, the training is never forceful or done with any pain inducing devices. I cannot recommend her enough!"

-Carlos and Eeve

"Jenna is an absolute gem! Our German Shepherd was reactive to a lot of every day situations and was hard to manage. This made our life stressful. We are grateful to have found Jenna who gave us simple tips and tricks to help calm our dog. Jenna’s rewards based program has turned our extremely anxious dog into a laid back pup. Her recaps of your sessions are very thorough and all you have to do is follow her suggestions regularly! Jenna has truly been a life saver."

-Scott, Christine, and Fern

Questions? We have answers!

Q: How often do we meet for training?

A: For the most part, we recommend bi-weekly sessions.

Q: What are your prices? Do you offer payment plans?

A: All pricing is listed on our "Services" page! We offer personalized payment plans for every program option.

Q: What methods will we be training with?

A: We primarily train with positive reinforcement and do not use or condone the use of aversive training methods. You can read more about how we train and why on the "Our Methods" page.

Q: What happens if my dog makes a mistake in training?

A: We view errors in training as communication. If a dog is making several errors, we take a step back and reduce criteria. Frustration is never our goal. We modify our training to ensure a dog can be successful.
