“…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…”
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…
Jen was incredibly helpful in answering some specific questions I had about my new dog. I reached out with a fairly complex question about my dog’s behavior and she promptly gave me tailored advice, resources and next steps. It’s clear that Jen knows dog behavior and is very experienced, I would trust her with any future issues that arise.
