Introduction: I guarantee 100% satisfaction and I simplify dog training...It doesn't have to be complicated. My techniques although simple, are very effective if practiced often, with patience and consistency. All too often people just give up on their dogs and decide to abandon them due to behavior/training issues. Showing dog owners how to train/understand their canine companions often results in dogs NOT ending up in a shelter...or worse. This is why I wanted to be a (human) trainer. I find it very rewarding. Dogs deserve better.

JoJo was wonderful to work with. She helped our two new pups, Jingle and Belles to learn how to listen more attentively. Less than a week later, the pups are potty training better and even sit on command. Thank you JoJo!

JoJo was VERY helpful in training us on how to best train our puppy while demonstrating her techniques. Right away we could tell that she was passionate about what she does and was very loving towards our puppy. We will definitely contact Jojo again for some advanced trainings. For the time being she left us with some great tools to work with our pup Chloe. Thank you so much!

JoJo arrived at my house promptly when scheduled and listened to my concerns about what I needed help with for my dog. She worked with me to address my concerns. She was very clear and effective and taught my dog "down" in about 5 minutes! She was very energetic and helpful and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend her for dog training.

JoJo saved us! We had a wild, untrained puppy Shepard that was a rescue. Just after applying the guidance JoJo shared with us within our first session, we saw changes right away. Our 10 month old puppy can now sit calmly within our home, follows commands, and is not constantly barking at every person and doorbell that goes off. Jojo made herself available after our sessions, she was a pleasure!

During this consult, I will also observe the dynamics of the dog and the human/s and determine how to proceed with success.
