Testimonials
“I have known and worked with Jasa since our adoption of our first dog in 2018. Jasa has been such a fundamental part of our relationship with our dogs. Her knowledge and ability is obvious. Jasa introduced me and my husband to balanced training, and took the time and effort to explain the concepts (and my continuous questions) in a way we’d understand. Since meeting Jasa, our two dogs and now third, a puppy, have blossomed. Off leash hiking, and higher level obedience are things I’d never dreamed of before meeting her! Our new puppy is already an obedience superstar with a solid, balanced foundation. Her ability to hone in on issues and how to overcome them is excellent, her love and care for animals is obvious and unbeatable and her desire to do the best for her clients is unmatchable. Highly recommended!”
-Audrey B
“Remi loves day camp at Jasa’s. He always comes home exhausted from all the exercise she does with him. Harley is in day training and getting more confident every time. Before Jasa’s training she couldn’t be in the same room as the vacuum, now she can stay in the room without running away from it when it gets close to her.”
-Ally B
“Jasa trained two of our dogs and I was so happy and learned so so much about dogs and dog behavior. She goes above and beyond in everything she does. I only wish we still lived closer to her so that she could work with me and my new puppies!”
