We started training with Jenn a few months after we adopted Henry from South Korea in 2021.
We started in home training with Jenn, then went into group training sessions.
Henry graduated from Level 3 and took his Canine Good Citizen test shortly after and passed!
Henry was transformed from a frightened shelter dog to a confident obedient companion.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the training experience with Jenn was the enhanced bond between Henry and I.
I highly recommend Jenn’s Dogs.

All our dogs have been rescues and we’ve dealt with a fair number of dogs who’ve been impacted by trauma, but our most recent, Betty, a cane corso had aggression issues beyond anything we were able to handle. We were desperate for a solution. We received a referral to Jenn’s dogs and can’t begin to describe the difference in this dog! She’s a completely different animal after WE received Jenn’s training. We needed to learn how to teach Betty to manage her stress. The results are nothing short of amazing!

I was referred to Jenn through a friend of a friend and it has been lifechanging! My dog is a rescue from Mexico with a lot of baggage and a lot of trauma. Jenn immediately saw the good in her and worked with us one on one to help build both of our confidences so we could get outside and go for walks without the stress of what might happen if we see other dogs or squirrels! We used to only walk at night, and now we can walk in the warm sun! Incidentally, my dog learned to not pull on the leash, calm her anxieties, and mind me better in the home, too. Our bond is stronger than ever and we are able to do so much more! More than one session I cried tears of joy because of the progress my pup made. I owe Jenn so much!

We can’t thank Jenn’s Dogs enough! Jenn and her team really helped up to learn more about our puppy’s behavior and how we can communicate with one another. We are at a much better place in training because of Jenn’s Dogs. I highly recommend their services to help you to have a greater connection with your pup.
