Testimonials
“Innovative, knowledgeable, and compassionate. These three words hardly do justice when describing Carla Jackson and Jackson Ranch for Dogs. I had been told by three other dog trainers that my beloved, highly intelligent, and driven German Shepherd, George, was “just a bad dog. He’ll never learn to submit to you.” I just didn’t believe that could be true. I saw the love and desire to learn in George’s eyes. Then I found Carla Jackson! Even after I told her of the myriad problems that I was having with George and what previous advice I’d been given, she showed up at my front door. She was professional and ready to go! Within five minutes of being in my home, she had George calm and in a sit stay! She told me to throw away my prong collar and that if I was willing to work hard, she had a training plan for George. Six months later, George was able to go out in public without growling at people, he walked calmly (well, 98% of the time) on a leash and we had formed a bond and working relationship. George was also able to play nicely with other dogs and gained confidence that the world wasn’t such a scary place! Thank you Carla and the staff at Jackson Ranch for Dogs! In addition to helping me with my “problem child” she helped me train my sweet pug, Lucy to become a registered therapy dog. So, whether you need intense training/re-training or specialized training, Carla will help you achieve your goals. Your dog will be happy and well cared for at Jackson Ranch for Dogs!”

About the Trainer
Jackson Ranch for Dogs, founded in July 1999 by owners Carla Jackson and Mark Olney, provides dog training and kennel services. They live on site, ensuring a home environment for dogs to learn and play while their owners are away.
Their training philosophy is based on positive reinforcement, utilizing reward-based training and daily routines that capitalize on a dog’s natural instincts. They aim to create a pleasurable learning experience for dogs and a positive experience for owners, believing that effective training should be fun and not resemble a “canine version of boot camp.”
The ranch offers a relaxed, home atmosphere with 2 securely fenced, shaded, and grassy acres. There are six different yards where dogs are matched into compatible play groups, including dedicated zones for senior/quiet guests and high-energy adolescents. Carla Jackson is a professional dog trainer who specializes in private dog lessons, puppy socialization, and day training.
They help with a variety of behaviors such as swimming, stopping biting or jumping, house/potty training, and other general dog training behaviors. They also offer comprehensive programs like “Your Family Dog – Leadership & Training” designed to enhance the owner-dog relationship and solve common behavior problems.
