Testimonials
Jennifer is a great trainer, and my reactive GSD, Bear, has come a long way since we started working with her. It’s taught me a great deal about how to work with my dog in a way that he quickly understands, and in a way that strengthens our bond. Jennifer offers a range of classes and opportunities for all levels of dogs, and I am definitely planning on signing up for future classes.

Jennifer is amazing. I’ve done her classes (puppy, rally, agility, etc) and 1:1 training, as well as handling in the show ring with 4 of my Rhodesian ridgebacks over the past 8 years. She’s also provided dog and human training with a rescue dog I placed with a family. Her communication to dog and human is effective and compassionate, while still being firm.
