Testimonials
“We took our dog to Jenn because we were at the point where we did not want to take her on walks or even have her in the car. After 3 weeks of training with Jenn we were so excited by the change in her behavior and appreciated the instructions she gave us to keep things up at home. We now have fun on our walks and taking her places is a breeze.”
– Sharon C.
“Jenn has been an incredible asset to our family… Sending our Rosie to Beachwood K9 was the best decision we have made since adopting Rosie. We get to enjoy our dog Rosie so much more due to Jenn’s training and the knowledge she imparts on each of her clients.”
– Unnamed Client
“My husband and I were referred to Beachwood K9 by a close friend… Fast forward to four weeks after Theodore returned home from Jen’s program, and I have now been able to consistently take him on walks, with him walking right by my side and no pulling!”
