Dog Training with Jen

Since  2013, I've specialized in force-free, positive dog training. I specialize in teaching calmness, "off" switches, boundaries, loose leash walking and confidence. I also offer an exercise, enrichment, and obedience reinforcement workouts for dogs. This program is perfect for dogs who need more exercise and training than they are getting. It's perfect for busy pet parents who want their dog worked by a trainer while they are busy taking care of other things.
