Jenna was great! My priorities were learning how to use the e collar and training my dog, Louie, to have an off leash recall and heel. I’m very impressed with the results. Especially as this was all online. I can now hike in a variety of settings with Louie off leash and know that his recall is rock solid. He calls off birds, deer, toys easily and happily. I also had no idea how to use the ecollar and after a few lessons, feel totally comfortable using it on my own. Jenna was very professional, knowledgeable and clearly loves what she does. Thank you!!

I can't say enough great things about Taya with Valor K9 Academy! We signed up for 6 weeks of private lessons and have seen amazing progress with our 1-year-old pup. Taya has been so helpful with general obedience and commands, calm leash walking, manners around other dogs, and has helped us build a lot of confidence (ours and our pup's)! Thanks so much, Taya!

I was hesitant to do online classes because I wasn't sure it would be super effective not being in person. I was so wrong! Jenna did an amazing job explaining and teaching over zoom! She provided effective feedback and was able to meet each participant (owner & dog) at the level they were at and help guide us to where we could grow. She was very responsive to questions throughout the week outside of class. We completed puppy class and basic obedience online with Jenna. 10/10 would take online classes with Jenna again! If I lived in the area I wouldn't hesitate to take in-person classes with her.

Our trainer Taya has been phenomenal with our English Cream Golden Retriever puppy named Sage. She is so kind not only to us, but to our dog! Taya is knowledgeable about training and she really just wants us to succeed. We have already seen massive improvements with Sage and we are so excited to continue our training! Taya has helped change our relationship with our dog for the better!

Samantha took care of our two border terriers (1 puppy and 1 six year old) while we were on vacation for 3 weeks. Our older terrier was a bit unpredictable with other dogs and the puppy needed better manners. Samantha managed to do what we thought was impossible--take our older terrier and make him neutral to other dogs. We now can take him off-leash and he will sit by our side while other dogs walk by. In addition, she trained the puppy (6 months old) so well that I was able to take the puppy to work and she stayed on her bed for 2 hours while I conducted interviews. Although we were incredibly impressed with the training service, we also were amazingly happy with the care and attention she gave to our dogs while we were away. Samantha sent photos multiple times per week and kept us from worrying that our dogs were sad. We highly recommend Valor K9 and Samantha! Thank you!
