~Milo is a different dog! He completed a board and train program, and we have followed up with group classes. High strung Pom-Chi, but have the confidence now to do more things together in public. Highly recommended!

Joanne is amazing, and you can truly see how much she cares about dogs and helping you fix the problem. She takes the time to understand your needs, what is the best fit or solution for your issues, and is seeking to help. The time she puts into understanding your specific scenario is unmatched. I highly recommend!

Joanne is everything we were looking for, she is living her purpose and is doing exactly what she was meant to be doing. Our fearful rescue is a confident man now and we have learned how to feel confident taking both dogs in public. She was so patient with us and the fact that we were learning too. Joanne is professional and timely, she listens to understand and is good at finding out the finest tweaks to set you and your dog up for success. She weaves in humor and grace while teaching clearly and safely and is genuinely a wonderful human to be around. We have nothing but praise for this lady, she set us and our dogs up for success in this world. We love you Joanne!

I cannot recommend Joanne more. My dog Olive struggled with meeting new people especially in our home, and general reactivity. During private sessions, Joanne gave us the tools to get over these hurdles and transform our lives. We first worked with Joanne during group classes which additionally provide a great experience for anyone from new dog owners to owners with particularly stubborn pets!

Joanne has been so helpful in training my Irish Terrier Finn. He started with in-home training then moved to her group classes. His training was going so well we did the 3 week board and train program Joanne offers for off leash training. Joanne has the perfect setting for off leash training. Finn is so much happier going for hikes off leash and so are we! Joanne is responsive and goes above and beyond to help with training. I would highly recommend her!

Joanne is a miracle worker, Lucy was with her for two weeks, boarding/training, and she came home a well behaved puppy. Joanne balances love and learning… training was amazing, and she helped us learn how to communicate with Lucy. Joanne is creative and best of all effective. We now have a wonderful, smart puppy that wants to learn all the time.

Joanne is a master at changing lives. She is very knowledgeable on dog behavior and always knows the steps to take to get a well trained dog. It is clear that she truly cares about the dog succeeding and wants both the parent and dog to do well and to understand each other. Joanne will make a point to not finish a lesson until she feels both the parent and the dog understand what is expected of them. She is truly amazing and I will forever recommend her to anyone.

Joanne and I worked together when I got my first Giant Schnauzer. Despite my research, I was naive to their intelligence and temperament. Joanne stuck by me and helped me through every hurdle. She was patient, knowledgeable and in it for the long haul. Together, she helped me achieve a long lasting, loving and remarkable relationship between me and my beloved furry friend. I could not have done it without her!

~Katja C, Denver, CO

We enjoyed working with Joanne, who is supportive and warm in addition to being a very effective trainer of dogs and people! I learned a progressive series of skills that I have been able to build on through the weeks.  Joanne built our confidence and also provided great materials that we could review between lessons and after lessons were completed. I would always feel comfortable contacting Joanne for additional advice if a problem were to come up with our pup. She does not cut you off once lessons are over!

We did a two-week board and train with Joanne for our Heeler/Border Collie mix to help teach our smart/stubborn/spoiled pooch Ecko how to better behave on walks and when people come over. He was a pandemic puppy so was not used to visitors for a good chunk of his young life. Joanne took her time to learn all about him (and us), came up with a plan, and updated us over the two-week span as to progress via video and text. It was amazing to see her "figure him out" and be able to correct undesirable behaviors, and then teach us how to continue to reinforce what she had set up to make him a much calmer and happier pup. Our young son can now even take him on walks without issue! A fantastic experience for us, and Ecko!
