“We are so fortunate to have met Jackie at the perfect time for training our 2 yr old pup. In addition to helping him keep his paws on the ground when greeting people, she taught us all the importance of recall. Jackie is easy to work with and has a real talent for bonding with her clients and delivering effective and sustainable training. Even our senior dog got into the action! Highly recommend!”

“Jackie was great with our little Leo! We were at our wits end with potty training but with Jackie’s guidance and suggestions we soon started to see positive results. She also taught us how to provide and achieve basic commands. Happy to report that our Leo is a good citizen today. We would recommend Jackie to anyone needing help in training their pup!”
