Dog Training Videos
My husband and I adopted a young dog and experienced puppy behavior for the first time so we called Janet for much needed help. Janet designed a behavior and training program that motivated Pete to continually practice good manners in all circumstances.
The latest addition to our home, Annie, is an interesting blend of significant fear aggression and hard-headedness. Janet once again came to train Annie, my husband and myself, providing just the right program for everyone’s needs.
I cannot do justice to Janet's skills and abilities in a short paragraph; she has literally come to our rescue on numerous occasions, always upbeat in her approach to the problem at hand.
