Jutka of PuppyK is a class act! She really knows what she’s doing. Her training strategies show the utmost compassion for pups and their owners! My family has worked with Jutka for both group classes and private sessions, and we’ve gained so much from all of them. And our dog is head over heels in love with her, too :) When we adopted our former dog, we didn’t have kids yet, so the pup ruled the roost! After she passed and we adopted a new puppy, the dynamics were different, as we have 2 young children now. Jutka was flexible in meeting with me very soon after we brought our puppy home and helped us build a great foundation to get started. Then she met with our whole family to build new skills and taught my kids how to play with the puppy in a fun, respectful, and productive way. In the group classes, she teaches new skills to the group, but everyone is able to receive individual attention as well. She teaches in a way that is fun and rewarding for the pups and their people. My dog’s tail would start wagging once we entered the parking lot! We had a lot of trouble with our dog nipping recently, and I emailed Jutka in tears, as the basic strategies weren’t helping. She not only showed me extreme support, but she validated my feelings and concerns and made sure we got on her schedule right away. Jutka is professional, caring, and makes me laugh every time we work with her. My son has decided he wants to be a dog trainer when he grows up because of her. I highly recommend her for private or group (or both) training needs. You won’t be disappointed!

Just finished up the beginner classes and Jutka is awesome. Not only did she help build confidence in our pup, she helped us feel more confident about handling him, consistently training him, and learning manners/ how to play with other dogs. The notes on the sessions she sends after are helpful for when you are practicing between classes. Her style is great, and we look forward to taking the next class!

Jutka is fantastic. We signed our puppy up for the beginner puppy class and 2 private lessons. The group classes are great for socialization and the individual classes were good to go over breed specific issues and to train us on our own inadvertent bad behaviors. I’ve had many dogs and this one is by far the most polite thanks to puppyk.

Jutka is a puppy expert! She provides great input, specifically tailored to your dog. She is great to work with and the home training is very helpful so she can give tips for our specific situation. We love how she includes the whole family and makes the training fun for both the humans and the puppy. She really understands dogs and uses positive training that is very effective.
