Testimonials
“I have been training at Papillonia Dog Training with Jeannine Rash for over 12 years. I enjoy the innovative and positive approach that Jeannine teaches. We are challenged to bring out the best in our performances. We are always reminded that we must keep training fun for our dogs. When competing for True’s OTCH I found it valuable to have the advanced classes to keep us focused and moving forward towards our goal. If we were having trouble with an exercise Jeaninne provided many ideas to work thru each problem area. The “Never Give Up” attitude at Papillion helped push us on when we needed it. I am now taking lessons with “Ribbon” my new pup. The program is very helpful for training a puppy to the highest level of performance. I compete in many venues and I appreciate that Jeannine is understanding of the demands this puts on my dogs. The facility is beautiful and provides a show type environment for training.”
-Bets Keen
“I enjoyed taking class and private lessons with Jeannine. Ryser and I learned strategies and games that kept our skills sharp and the training interesting while we pursued our obedience goals.”
-Sally Henry
“When I first met Jeannine I had two 9 month old Shelties who were skiddish and severely shy, the two would just sit and shake and of course there was no eye contact. I had originally registered for classes due to Jeannine’s extensive experience and successful record with small dogs and her use of positive dog training but my dogs couldn’t relax in a class environment. It was decided that individual instruction was needed and we pursued it. The best decision I have made on behalf of my two shelties. Jeannine was able to teach me how to redirect their shyness into enjoying and interacting and therefore learning. Every obstacle we ran into, every question I asked, every step of the way, Jeannine was patient and taught me how to resolve it quickly and my dogs absolutely loved it. It didn’t take long before their confidence was strong enough to compete in AKC Rally. Dalton went on to earn his Rally Advance Excellent (RAE) title and then further to earn his AKC Obedience Companion Dog Excellent (CDX) title. I am ever so grateful to Jeannine for teaching me how to give a better quality of life for my two 10” tall shelties.”
