Jen has the compassion and smarts to connect with dogs and humans alike! She is committed to positive experiences too!
She is dependable and trustworthy. Also, what a relief to find someone so communicative so that I could know what to expect!
Wow. Jen and I have been working together before I even got my dog. She has been so patient, answering questions and making sure I am ready to teach my dog. Jen teaches to ensure understanding and is committed to making sure we are a successful service dog team. Truly so excited for our journey. Insanely impressed with the online curriculum and the quality of the education provided to ensure each team is prepared to be successful.
I cannot say enough good things about Jen! She has been so helpful with our incredibly high-energy, clever almost-one-year-old pup. She always gives GENEROUS time, resources, and effort to our questions and struggles. I’ve learned loads about dog body language, behavior patterns, and training from her, and really, I have barely cracked the surface on the resources she has provided to us. Highly recommend!
Jennifer is the real deal. She is kind, experienced, wise, educated, and down to earth. She helped us understand our dog’s puzzling (to us) behaviors and offered lots of suggestions – demonstrating and explaining everything until we really got it. She answered all our questions with grace and patience. So, so helpful! She’s also honest about what you can realistically expect from your dog, which is refreshing and tremendously helpful. Maximum amount of stars. All the stars.
