Testimonials
Jessica Britzman
We called Jaclyn to help us with our 6 year old poodle. We were at the point where we were going to have to get rid of her. We could not walk her, she would not listen, you could tell she was not happy, barking and whining all the time, would bark and lung at every dog or person... Just within the four sessions our dog is doing great, her attitude has changed, her demeanor has changed, she happy, she is a whole new dog... I would highly recommend Jaclyn as a dog trainer, it was the best decision we have made.
Jared Leung
My sweet bby Bailey was under socialized and overly sheltered growing up, which lead to uncontrollable fear barking for hours... Jaclyn is truly an expert in dog psychology and really educated us on how to understand Bailey's behavior. After our lessons, Bailey is no longer the nervous wreck she was before!... It was truly life changing we are able to trust her to behave around guests and strangers...11/10 would recommend you will not regret it!
Carolyn Ono
Our dog was having a difficult time walking calmly on a leash and was very reactive towards other dogs... After the first training session, our dog was noticeably calmer... By the end of the last training session, our dog can now walk on a loose leash and does not react to other dogs that are around. We also really enjoyed the videos that Jaclyn made from the training sessions so we could see how we could practice at home... We would definitely recommend her services.
