Joan is awesome! She is very knowledgeable and connected with our goldendoodle very well! We did the 3 session plan for our 6 month old goldendoodle to help us train him on the leash and it has been a game changer for us. Would highly recommend Joan for any of your dog training needs!

Joan has been great. She has really helped us to understand and train our puppy. Joan is reassuring and helpful. Joan loaned us a harness so we didn’t have to buy one just for our puppy to grow out of in a few weeks. Joan is responsive to questions and confirms appointments the day before.

Just a great person to work with, and the dogs respond to her teaching! I didn't think our 9 year old would ever accept our new puppy, called in Joan and they were playing together before she left here the first time. From there we are working with her to train the puppy. Would definitely recommend her!!!

Joan is a wonderful trainer, not only for my sweet dog Hannah but also for me as a first-time dog owner. She provides easy-to-follow training materials, homework for both me and Hannah that works!
