Live Oak Dog Obedience Utah

First off, I want to start by saying that I love Jan's approach to training!!!! Also, I want to be completely transparent and let you know that I have not been compensated in any way for my review. My husband and I went on Friday 8/16/24 with our pup. Our session was a little over an hour, we left feeling confident with what we had learned and implemented the training immediately. Even when we got home that night, my family could tell there was improvement. We honestly feel like we have a completely different dog than we did prior to the session on Friday. She wasn't a terrible dog before by any means, but there were things that had they gone unaddressed, they would have continually got worse and who wants that. My pup is only 16 weeks old and potty training was still something we were working on before this class. However, using her methods we have not had one accident in our home which is HUGE! She answered all of my questions and didnt make me/us feel stupid. She was very honest and sometimes told me things that I didn't want to hear which is important and I really respected her for this. At the end of the day, my family and I want to have a happy dog with good manners. She coached and trained the dog owners which is a different approach but bygolly, it works. If you are considering using her services and you are feeling hesitant, I want you to know that if you go to one of her classes you are in the best of hands and you will be so glad you went. Please give her a try. Also, prices are really reasonable!!!! Thank you Jan, you are a God send and we are so grateful for you.

I’ve worked with a number of trainers over the years, and HANDS DOWN, Jan Perkins is the BEST! I wish it was mandatory for people to take training classes in order to own a dog. We started attending puppy classes with Jan as soon as we could, which I think was around 11 weeks old. Maggi was a dominant handful from the beginning. She wasn’t as “eager to please” as other dogs, but she really wanted to be in charge. As soon as we could, we got an e-collar and went through training with Jan. We were starting to make progress in training Maggi, helping her understand her boundaries. After about 6 months, we moved to the intermediate class, which was a big win! We spent A LONG TIME in that class before Maggi graduated to Advanced. Jan was fantastic at reminding us of the following: *Each dog is different and DO NOT compare your dog’s performance to any other dogs. * This is NOT a competition. * Class is REALLY about training the HUMAN about canine behavior & consistency (less so about the dog). FIVE STARS for Jan Perkins! :)

My career as a school psychologist led me to fulfilling a lifelong dream of training a dog to be a therapy dog. Jan has been the biggest blessing and reason that Stu and I have been as successful as we have been. She is incredibly supportive, willing to listen to what you want/need, and will help guide you to have the best relationship with your dog possible. Thanks to Jan, Stu has been able to change the lives of the students and adults that I work with (as well as make my life) to be exponentially better. Jan is THE best!

Our experience has been outstanding. We are training a now 12 week old golden retreiver puppy who is making great progress thanks to Jan Perkins. The training methods are effective, sustainable and it includes conditioning so that the training will last. It is now 2 years later and our puppy is now 2 1/2 years old and is the best behaved dog we have ever had. He is full of energy and love for everyone and he is happy because he knows his boundaries and how do be polite around people and other dogs. The foundation I learned as a handler and Rusty learned as my dog makes having a high energy dog a joy.
