Four Legged Scholars LLC

Working with Johanna at Legged Scholars was a game-changer for us and our Rottweiler. We went the online training route — which I was skeptical about at first — but it turned out to be way more effective than the in-person sessions we'd tried before. Without the distractions of a new environment and other dogs, our girl could actually focus and absorb what we were teaching her. Johanna backs everything up with a ton of resources: video libraries you can rewatch anytime, and a personalized Trello board packed with training tips tailored specifically to our dog. Having everything organized in one place made it easy to stay consistent between sessions. If you're on the fence about online dog training, stop overthinking it. Johanna knows her stuff and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend.

It has been said that the most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. While working with Joanne she taught me to observe the unspoken language of my dog. I have a 6-year-old male Yorkie who was marking in the house, leaping out of his kennel and biting whoever let him out, and not coming to me when called. Through the patient guidance and incredible knowledge of dog and human behavior Joanne helped me develop a strategy to improve his behaviors. We met weekly via live personalized online one-on-one sessions. Through these Joanne could observe my dog and our relationship and offer guidance to help improve his behaviors. My dog has learned quickly, and I am still using the lessons I learned from Joanne with him and look forward to emails with continued training tips.

This is our second round of training with Johanna! Our Bullmastiff Abbi is different from our previous dogs, and we knew Johanna would be able to help us. We reached out and were in excellent hands! Johanna was able to redirect our training efforts, majority of sessions were held virtually and supported with videos of us training Abbi. We will keep using Johanna no matter where life takes us. Her love and compassion for our puppy, and us, come through in every interaction. We are in a much better place and understanding of Abbi after working with Johanna!
