TheTreat Training

Came across The Treat Training on a simple google search, but I couldn’t have been more fortunate to have found them! Jennifer and her team are absolutely fantastic! They’ve done wonders for my rescue dog (he was quirky with his social skills, and a pittie mix which made it very hard to take him to dog parks without someone commenting on his rough edges)! Jennifer’s “play and train” program immediately changed all that in one, single session! Her whole team is the exact support I was looking for, but I got way more support, positive training experience and fun experience than I had hoped for!!!! Absolutely love this team!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND them no matter where you are in your journey with your dog!

I am SO glad we found Jennifer. We first met her when we got our puppy and did some basic puppy training and playdates. But then, when our dog hit 1, he became an absolute anxious mess and that was when I really realized how valuable Jennifer was. She met with us, we made a plan, and we have been working with her ever since. Our dog wouldn’t go on walks, wouldn’t even go outside if there was a hint of noise- a big truck driving by would send him running inside. He couldn’t be around other dogs or any person he didn’t know without growling or barking. Jennifer has been so committed to helping him. She sets realistic expectations and trains us in dog training as much as she trains him. She has been working with another trainer to build up his tolerance to strangers, and has slowly but steadily been building his leash tolerance. Last weekend, we were able to take him on a leash walk with the entire family for the first time in months. It was amazing. She loves our pup like he’s her own. She is relentlessly energetic and optimistic, and one of his favorite people.

I can’t say enough about Jennifer!!! She has helped us so much. Our pup still has some basic commands to learn and also has some growth areas and she has been amazing helping us with all of that and everything in between. She meets you where you are and devises a plan with your input to help you get where you want to go. She is also most willing to change the plan as needed to address any more pressing training issues that come up. She teaches you the “why” behind all of the methods she uses. She can accomplish an amazing amount in a 30 minute session. She goes above and beyond in being available to help with anything that helps you and your pup. I could continue to list positives all day long. We are so grateful for her!

Not recommended if you are looking for professional one.

We reached out to Jennifer because we wanted to get our adopted dog the private training sessions before bringing him into the canine group classes(which he did really well and graduated becoming loved by the trainer), our dog was really nervous around Jennifer from the start. However we decided to go forward anyway because he did calm down since the second session but never really warm up to her much. With three training sessions in, we decided to try the “Walk and train”, not just “House/Drop-in visit” sessions which is went very poorly right from the start. Our dog is a food motivated dog. Under the circumstances, She poorly decided to give him the high fat and sodium food like pepperoni instead of dog treats, left the harness on, accidentally forgot to turn the fan and AC back on after she turned them off(I couldn’t figure it out through the dog camera why did our puppy was pacing around instead of laying down on the floor in the hot day, until I got home), then leaving our dog in the hot house(some friends of mine suggested that we should report it to the town..). It all speak to inexperience. She reached out to re-visit on the next day without us scheduling any sessions, and ended up charging us for it. Another session on the third day in a row was strangely done, instead of “walk and train” she let our dog working on Sniffing mat in our backyard and herself being on the phone most of the time.
We had other people come over and being with him before and all went really well, we don’t understand why this happened between them.
We reached out to her to discuss about it, and asking for the genuine refund for the rest of the services we do not want to go forward, unpunctual communication..it took her over two and a half days getting back to us blaming it on us not going forward and giving her more times to build up the relationship with the dog. We hit her back trying to clarify the situation but unfortunately she got back with the short responses, “I wish you the best. Thank you, Jennifer”, didn’t even showing any remorse for anything she had done.
Two stars for the theoretical training skills, Good luck!

I highly recommend Jennifer of The Treat Training! Her training method is extremely effective. Each training session is tailored to your dog’s progress and success with certain commands. We felt like Jennifer’s training was a great value. Knowing the “why” behind the positive reinforcement training method really helped us better understand the training process. Jennifer always reiterated the importance of consistency and accuracy during training, and it most definitely made a positive impact on our dog’s progress!
