What people have asked about this business.
Jan sure enjoyed working with you and River is really doing well. I think I have two more lessons so was wondering if you could recommend classes that might be good for us?
You might want to try the Trick and Job Class. In this class we work on some fun tricks but also teach jobs that would help you as a service dog. It is a fun relaxed class that will give you some things you could also work on at home. Also, the Walk and Train Classes through the winter will help you work him in different locations and businesses.

I have a 5 yr old male lab not neutered. Very little training. Very food and human motivated. Do you train dogs like this. How many can attend the class
You couldn't find anyone to help you with your furbaby for any reason!!

Jan will most definitely help you and your dog! I've seen miracles happen with aggressive, nervous, shy, and formerly abused dogs.

Owner Jan Perkins has the best methods I've ever been taught for working with a dog. She teaches humans to be firm yet loving with their dogs. Everything makes sense (and Jan also helped me see how other training methods I was using simply do not work), and she is patient and answers all the questions! My standard poodle puppy and I got almost to the end of intermediate training. I plan to come back for more classes when my schedule is a bit more flexible. Meanwhile, we keep working and practicing. None better than Live Oak!

We took our puppy to her classes a few years ago. They are all about dominance, if thats what you want in your dog, then great. As for me I want my dogs to be excited when I come home, excited about their treats, in general be happy pups. I don't want to be their "Alpha" and have them basically ignore me just because thats what they do in the wild.

Live Oak Obedience is fantastic! It has been a game changer for us. We have also enjoyed a number of the class offerings in addition to basic obedience. Rally is our favorite- but they are all GREAT!! Jan really knows what she is doing!!

I have 1 year old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy who was a complete menace on a leash and had terrible manners. After one class with Jan he completely stopped pulling on his leash. We’ve been to a few classes now and he is a completely different dog! Jan is amazing and worth every penny
