Testimonials
Jan is an excellent trainer who is knowledgeable in her work and provided us with the right tools for training. Her classes are informative and extremely helpful for training all levels and ages of dogs! We highly recommend her!
– Allison Humbird
Jan is an incredible trainer! We went from beginner all the way through to advanced training. We get comments all the time about how well behaved our dog is. I can’t say enough great things about Jan and Live Oak training.
– Sharilyn Olson
The transformation in our 3-month-old Pomsky is remarkable! We were reaching a point of frustration with our pup, and vice versa, until we attended just one puppy class. Jan has a unique ability to convey insights into dog language and behavior that truly resonate. Our Pomsky is now sitting, staying, leaving it, and leash walking with manners – rapidly acquiring new skills. We are thrilled to have found her, and her pricing is an absolute steal considering the exceptional quality and results. We wholeheartedly recommend her!
