Okay Lady K-9 Training, L.L.C.

I did a lot of research before landing on Jessica to train our anxious / nervous dog Frank. I was looking for someone who would be patient and understand his needs - he is a collie / great pyrenees mix and I wanted someone who would be patient with him, give him a second to process what was requested before implementing the ecollar, and most importantly work to teach him the tools to help calm his mind. Jessica was an amazing fit - she is endlessly patient (not only with Frank but with us as we learned), was always quick to respond and give updates while Frank was in her care, and you could tell just genuinely loved and cared for our dog as if he was one of her own. I also appreciate that she offers a 3 week program because I think Frank needed that first week to almost just decompress and learn he was safe there. We initially reached out to Jessica because while Frank is a very sweet dog with us and was mellow / well behaved about 80% of the time, he had a lot of fear and fear reactivity that we just didn't know how to manage for the other 20%. The 20% is I think why it took us a year to finally work with someone but let me tell you, it is honestly life changing having a dog that you have the tools needed to manage 100% of the time! He would bark relentlessly at a lot of males he encountered (including my husband sometimes), was completely out of control when an Amazon / UPS driver or bicyclist drove / rode by or if we passed one on walks (bucking like a bronco to get out of his collar to chase), and was reactive to other dogs on walks. He is truly a completely different dog now! We recently did some work on our house and have had many people, mostly men, in and out working on different things - he calmly goes to place and remains there, and he honestly puts himself in place to work through any big emotion that he previously lashed out at even when we aren't actively asking him to (ex: vacuum on, etc). Our friends have commented on the insane progress he has made and it has truly impacted our daily life so immensely. We are so thankful to Jessica not only for the time she spent with Frank but also her ongoing support and kindness. Can't say enough good things!

Came here after feeling helpless and defeated with our dog, Etta. She’s a 3 year old who was raised in a caring home - plenty of social interaction growing up going to dog parks, visiting people, and we even put her in training as a puppy - but she never behaved well. Her behavior got worse over time until she attacked our other family dog because the doorbell rang. We were genuinely scared for her and of her unpredictable behavior. We felt like we had done EVERYTHING online and we even talked to other trainers and vets - nothing worked. UNTIL we came here to Okay Lady. This program completely changed my life. That sounds dramatic but it IS a dramatic change! We never wanted people over, but now my sister visits all the time with her newborn baby! Etta is so much happier and safer. Our dogs get along perfectly, we can walk anywhere, and we can actually relax at home. Etta is now the best, most well behaved dog. She listens to what we say and obeys HAPPILY 100% of the time. To be clear - this is a HUGE amount of work and practice. It’s a whole new world full of different rules and routines but it WORKS! We work every day on being better owners and we still contact Jessica, from time to time, to ensure we are still being good owners. Jessica is one of the kindest people on earth. I remember being really embarrassed when I first came to her with all our problems, but she is patient and understanding. I never felt judged, dumb, or like a bad owner. All communication was clear and immediate. I still text her randomly with questions, concerns, or about boarding availability and she responds quickly. I went into this so worried that it wouldn’t go well or that the money wouldn’t be worth the results… I believed this was our last hope. My expectations were completely blown away. I received detailed instructions on what to do and WHY. I learned more in the last few weeks from the study material and classes than my whole life growing up with dogs. Etta is the best dog I’ve ever had and we have Jessica to thank for it. If you are looking at these reviews searching for a way to possibly help your dog THIS IS THE WAY! I only regret not coming here sooner.

Jess with OK Lady K9 Training is fantastic. We have been taking our dog to Jess for three and a half years and are very pleased. We started out with Jess’ training program while our dog was still a puppy. It has made all the difference. On and off over the last few years, we have also utilized Jess for boarding while we are out of town. There is nothing better than knowing your furry four-legged is in a safe and happy environment while you are away. That peace of mind has been everything. We could not recommend Jess enough. She is fantastic.

Brought my 5.5 year old dog for a 4 week program to help with his aggressive behavior with people and dogs. Outside of this major issue, he also does not listen when I try to get him to calm down due to a doorbell ringing, a car door outside being shut, fire alarm battery beeping, etc. Today is day 1 at home and I've already noticed a major difference in his behavior. He listens and even when he fails he's trying and fixes his behavior asap. Its still a long-term effort, but thankfully Okay Lady K-9 Training helps give all the advice to keep my dog on the right path. I'm even brining him back in a couple months for boarding because I'm so satisfied with the training. Even if you've been told your dog cant be fixed, Jessica is worth talking to. I was told by another highly rated dog trainer in the area that my dog was helpless when I attempted to get him professional training 2 years ago. Jessica proved them wrong completely. Give her a try!
