My experience with Jane and my two puggle puppies was nothing but outstanding! As I had two puppies to raise at once, she recommended that I take two classes. It was a busy time, but I'm so glad that I put the time and effort in. Jane was able to hone into each puppy's unique personality in a gentle, yet structured way that helped them become the great dogs that they are today! I can't emphasize how important Jane's work was to us in helping nurture these two dogs in becoming well-mannered members of our family.

My mixed breed little dog, Penny came with a lot of energy and to help manage her training, I turned to Jane. We have had private as well as group classes. Jane is the ultimate professional, getting the dog and the owner working together to make a very close bond. I would recommend to anyone who wants a well behaved animal to consider Jane as their professional go to person. Plus it is a lot of fun! PS I am 83 years old. One is never too old to learn!

Our Havanese, Jenny, has taken all three of Jane's classes starting with Puppy, then Family Manners and finally, Step Beyond.  Prior to enrolling in the first class we engaged Jane for a private lesson. Jane is the consummate professional.  Her classes are well organized. Her training methods are clear and productive. The classes are also a lot of fun.  Jane obviously enjoys what she is doing and she most surely loves dogs. We cannot recommend Jane more highly.  She is absolutely excellent.

My dog, Spring, was a two year old rescue dog when I enrolled in Jane's Family Dog obedience class.  My girl was skittish, terrified of her own shadow and completely lacking in self confidence.  We continued our training in Jane's Step Beyond classes and Spring blossomed.  Jane's classes were fun and positive and it was so rewarding to see Spring's confidence and ability grow in leaps and bounds.  Last month, Spring qualified as a therapy pet. I could not be more proud of how far Spring has come in two years. Spring is unfazed by vacuum cleaning in the halls, wheelchairs in the corridors, or even riding in the elevator - all of which would have terrified her two years ago.  Spring and I are hugely grateful to Jane for her skill, experience and sensitivity in giving us the tools to be able to achieve what we have accomplished so far, and will continue to build on.

I am on my second generation of dogs that have attended all of Jane's classes.  She is an excellent teacher and communicator and she is continually perfecting her classes.  Her common dog sense is impeccable.  She has anticipated everything you need to know to have a well behaved family dog and good canine citizen.

Molly is a sweet, smart, lovely girl but she was aggressive to other dogs. I decided to get help and was very fortunate to find Jane. The training created a new relationship between us, and a much happier and more relaxed Molly.You can't undo this behavior overnight but it is getting better and better and both Molly and I look forward to our walks now so that we can practice. Jane changed our lives simply by helping me to understand Molly and giving me the tools to help her. I could never say enough good things about her.

My new rescue dog and I attended  "Family Manners" classes. Although I had had a great relationship with my previous dog,  I felt classes were needed for Birdie and for me as time had passed and training methods had changed.  The classes were positive, worthwhile and a fun experience for both of us, especially as I feel so empowered. Thanks Jane
