Justine did awesome with our GSD rescue. Our doggo went from zero manners to being a totally different dog. Her style of training really helped with my breed of dog. She’s knowledgeable, and has solutions to anything I asked or was concerned about. Her training came with a prong, collar, cot. She gave easy homework to help with enforce training. I’m thankful I found her because she has helped my GSD who was stray and feral be a chill well behaved dog. She is easy to work with and you can tell she is well educated with many breeds. Also included is a fun little photo set with each training.

Justine did a remarkably great job in the training of my two dogs Stella and Rocky. In the past 6 weeks the dogs have come a long way and are much calmer and well behaved. She also taught me how to better understand my dogs as well . And make me a better responsible dog owner. Without her help I would not have been able to achieve what we have with these two dogs😃😃 I would highly recommend her expertise if you are looking for a good trainer. Jeff Blundon

I highly suggest everyone to do thorough research when looking into a trainer. I was desperate for a trainer bringing home my newly adopted adult rescue. It was during COVID so options were slim and I moved forward with the quickest option, which was Justine. During the meet and greet, she wanted to see his reactivity in person so we walked by a dog park and she was repeatedly yanking on his leash. He got frustrated as he was already in a stressed environment and turned and reacted to her. After that, she would not go close to him unless he was muzzled. She slapped an ecollar on him and never really gave much instruction and moved really quickly “introducing” it. She played into the owner needing to be “alpha” and wanted me to withhold food until my dogs looked at me. He had some intense crate anxiety and her suggestion was to “bonk” his crate (to roll a towel up and smack the crate whenever he whines/barks). She warned me not to do this too much as it is emotionally abusive. I am glad my common sense kicked in over my desperation. Her “training” recommendations stunted my dogs and I relationship more than it helped. When confronting her months later, her reasoning was she trained the way she was taught but she has learned more since. What she should’ve done was admit that she could not or did not feel comfortable helping my dog with what he needs. It was out of her element. As cool as the private dog park she is opening is, I could never support any part of Justine or her business. The experience she gave me was awful and I will never suggest anyone to go for her for training. There are many other local trainers I’d suggest instead. I hope this helps someone in the future.

My dog Zeva has been aggressive towards delivery people and strangers coming onto our property. Justine has done a wonderful job teaching our family ways to work with our dog to keep her from attacking strangers. Zeva is doing much better and we are much more aware of what we need to do to help her maintain good behavior. Justine is worth every penny that we paid her. I would highly recommend her to help solve pet problems.
