Do you address behavioral problems?
I specialize in Aggression and Reactivity, which does cover a wide range of behavioral problems. I do help dangerous dogs and their families, and take dogs with a bite history. My Specialty services packages are behavior modification programs targeted at either in home, or on leash.

I started working with Jenn and Chey last year with my dog. We began in group classes, but it quickly became clear that my dog wasn’t comfortable in that setting, so we switched to private sessions. From the very start, everyone was incredibly patient, understanding, and supportive. They met my dog exactly where she was and helped her feel safe and comfortable. Over time, we were able to see her confidence grow, which was amazing to watch. I’m so grateful for their guidance and would absolutely recommend Jenn and Chey to anyone looking for thoughtful, personalized training and genuinely caring trainers.

We have worked with Jenn fot two of our pups. First, was a foster that was super anxious and reactive. We had one on one training to work through his issues and he make incredible progress in the short time we had him. We also have used the group training sessions for our family dog, who was basically trained but needed some refreshers. The group training was easy, affordable, and gave us all the tools to continue supportive training at home.

We needed help with our street rescue dog and after searching we found Jenn's Dogs to be just what we needed to help us learn to understand how to make it all work. Jenn and Chey were easy to talk to and very patient. We are very pleased! Our dog has responded so well to this positive type of behavior training and we have really enjoyed the whole process!

I attended an online enrichment training with Jenn, and it was well worth the money! I learned what enrichment means, how it might differ across breeds and lifespan, and I received some specific suggestions from Jenn about how to add enrichment into my elderly dog's life. Sylvester and I highly recommend!

Dog classes were an hour. Dogs got treats for anything and everything they did. Enough that our 12 week puppy was completely wired when she got home. They did not really teach anything, and promoted other activities throughout the hour. All mainly with costs involved.
