ROCKO + STEPHANY

What were your main issues & concerns with your dog that made you want to invest in dog training?
Rocko is full of energy but his attention span is super short. He was pulling a ton on walks, interested in everything other than me, very reactive with other dogs, and territorial at home with lots of barking and unable to stay on his cot.

What progress & changes have you seen with you and your dog after starting training with Jess?
Honestly, it’s like I have a whole new pup. He walks on heel by my side, he gives me eye contact and is receptive to commands even when I’m at a distance, his reactivity has diminished I would say 80%, and his structure at home makes it comfortable to have people over and know he’ll stay on his cot.

What have you learned while training Jess?
A huge lesson learned is interestingly not about my pup but about myself, and that is that I need to be a confident, calm and assertive leader for my pup. If I can handle myself in uncomfortable or unknown environments, I know I can guide my dog and make sure he can trust me to keep us safe.

Did you have fun during your sessions?
Our sessions were super fun! They fly by and before you knew it, you’ve been training for an hour. I never felt judged or pressured to get things right the first time. Sessions were fun and did not feel stressful even in busy environments.

Would you recommend training with Jess?
Jess it the best! Her patience, creativity and confidence make me definitely recommend her. You’ll learn a ton about yourself, your fur baby and how to strengthen your relationship.
