Dog Lady of Forest Grove, Hillsboro & Portland Oregon. LLC

Justine is a life saver. I had been to another trainer and it got my dog and myself nowhere except frustrated. Not only did she fix the mistakes of the other trainer but taught me how to best work with my pup. I have a GSP and they can be very stubborn so I needed to learn to read him and to not let him get away with misbehaving. Justine is very straightforward and to the point. My pup is doing great off leash and on leash.

Goals were: Leash control... not advancing past leaders' position. Honoring space, waiting to be invited into any persons space. No jumping at greeting. He's much better at this, but it needs to be 100% obeyed. We live in a tight residential area with a fence between neighbors. Looking after his territory he barks like mad and very aggressively races along the fence line upsetting the neighbor and their dogs. With Justine's counsel and instruction I'm pleased to report my dog understands what we expect and he's in a mode now where new boundaries or training comes much more swiftly as Justine helped us convey our expectations to our dog.

Justine made training easy. Her black and white approach doesn’t have any miracle pieces, just training and advice that works. We took our Bernadoodle to her and within the first session he was a completely different pup. She’s straightforward and a genuinely great pet person. My wife and I gained a friend in her while training our dog. She’s a great person that delivers the results she says she will. Cannot recommend enough.
