Testimonials
We have had the best experience at Animal Aide with Jessika while training my 1.5 year old pup that had minimal training when we began. She allowed my 11 year old to be the dog handler and she even gets praised in classes (which boosts her confidence too). Only 3 weeks in and Millie sits, lies, turns on command as well as loose leash walking all with only positive reinforcements! Her tips on how to get them to learn new tricks are superb! There is a reason she has such highly ribboned dogs in shows! Once we master the beginner class, we hope to keep Millie in classes to learn even more!
– Client
Fantastic experience with the beginner classes. Our puppy was able to pick up all the skills taught through Jessicka’s positive reinforcement training style.
– Client
Jessica is amazing. She is joyful, encouraging, yet calm when needed. She is knowledgeable and makes learning the basics of dog training exciting. My son and his dog learned and grown so much as a pair within the 6 week course and I give all the praise to Jessica!
I thought our pup was untrainable but after the first class, Jessica proved to me she can help any dog…even the dog that was stubborn with “sitting”
Now he is a calm, well mannered gentleman!! Many thanks to animal aide for providing a service to our area that is needed and well served.
