Could not possibly say enough great things about Capable Canine. I decided to bring my rescue pup in for basic training and behavioral therapy, within just one session I knew I hired the right person. Jessica is patient, kind, professional and unbelievably knowledgeable in her craft. Sammie (puppy) after just over a few weeks of training is showing major improvement in her confidence, walks are becoming easier and most behaviors that were concerning are diminishing quickly.

We recently finished up puppy class at the Capable Canine with Jessica and so happy we chose this positive reinforcement program for our puppy’s training. The group classes were small and Jessica was incredibly attentive to each dog and their/their owners’ individual challenges and goals. It was a great experience and an exceptional value… looking forward to continuing training there.

Jessica is wonderful, patient, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her services. I had just moved to Maine with my 8 year old Jack Russell, Jake. Jessica gave us the right tools and techniques to best acclimate Jake to his new environment, as well as battle a bit of resource guarding he was beginning to develop. He is thriving now and I continue to implement Jessica’s teachings. Thank you!

Jessica is so incredibly kind and patient. She’s been a joy to work with both one-on-one with my dogs and in her group/ puppy training courses. They’ve dynamic, with lots of props and very cute “graduation” celebrations!

Jessica at Cabable Canine is amazing. She was highly recommended by other pet owners. She is flexible and accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to refer her to another pet owners.
