FirstBarkWe took Manners I and Manners II with Jenny. She is WONDERFUL! I cannot compliment her or this class enough. I am a first time dog owner and Jenny helped us so much. We will definitely be working with her again so our pup can earn her canine good citizen award! Picture is my pup at Manners II graduation. They take their test at Home Depot!

Jenny is an excellent dog trainer! She has such a special connection with dogs. I would highly recommend her! She helped us with our bullmastiff and chihuahua.
Jenny East Cole is a wonderful and professional dog trainer. She works with the dog and their owner in order for them to succeed. Dogs are a joy to be around especially after they receive her training.
You won't be disappointed with the comfortable atmosphere for you as the handler and for your pet.

We have taken Manners 1 and Canine Good Citizen training courses from My Shadow Training. Jenny Cole was extremely informative and knowledgeable and gave practical advice on how to manage our very active and energetic cocker spaniel. We learned something new during every class. We have told all of our friends about My Shadow Training and Jenny Cole and we cannot wait until Manners 2 class is offered.
