A well-rounded puppy experience is the foundation that you will use to build your adult dog's behaviors. Let's ensure it is strong enough to meet your expectations.
Imagine feeling confident that you know EXACTLY what you must do NOW to make sure you don't waste their #puppylife.
"I wish I had found Jennifer when Quincy was 8 weeks - she encourages you to work to figure out your dog rather than simply making it "do what I say or else". Love the relationship building with Quincy and watching her learn in a positive way. Jennifer has a great understanding of how dogs think and she passes her knowledge on in fun and meaningful experiences."
~Sarah M
"Jennifer's style is calm and gentle. It is as much my training as it is training for my dog. I have a better understanding on how to be consistent with my behavior and to know what to expect from my dog. This helps me to be more patient and has allowed for a better working relationship between my dog and myself."
~Paddy D
We absolutely loved Jennifer’s puppy class. This class was so much more than teaching your dog to sit. We learned how to communicate with our dog and create a foundation for good behaviors as an adult. After taking our first dog to puppy classes elsewhere, I can honestly say this class was worth every penny. We cannot wait to continue our training with Jennifer!

"Teaching people to listen, one dog at a time is my calling in life"
Your instructor, Jennifer, has built a very successful dog training business from the ground up. I have over 15 years of experience working with dogs and over 11 years of teaching group classes specializing in puppies. That experience is invaluable in guiding you to understand your new puppy. I am passionate about teaching people to base their relationship on a foundation of understanding, love, and mutual trust.
Over the 11+ years, I have taught puppy classes, I have adjusted my curriculum to produce an exceptional experience for my students. This course is taken directly from my in-person class syllabus, so you are getting everything (and MORE) that you would if you attended a class in person each week.
If all you want is sit, down and stay, then this course is not for you.
This course is designed for those people who want to understand their puppy on a deeper level. Having a deeper understanding of the dog in front of you will allow you to their training to match your puppy's personality.

I have been teaching people how to raise their puppies for almost 20 years. Almost every person I have worked with has thought that "socializing their puppy" means taking them out of the house on adventures. While that is ONE aspect of socializing your puppy, they are surprised to learn that they should be socializing their puppy at home as well. I created this workbook to show you how easy it is to give your puppy new, novel experiences every day at home. The more novelty your puppy experiences, the more well-rounded they will be as an adult.
