Janice Tan’s Dog Training Service

Janice was straight-​forward and got right to work with my dogs and myself. I am glad I took notes because it was a packed one-​hour private home lesson. I will call her again if I have any new issues, but doubt I’ll need to follow up on our current issues because I’m noticing a big impact already.
Thank you Janice for accomplishing so much in one session.

Janice is the best! Our dog just went through the beginner classes with Janice. With just six classes, our dog has stopped jumping on people, knows how to «leave it», does not pull on the leash and beginning to reliably come to us when called.
I have taken our other dog to two other puppy classes and I can say that Janice’s is the best one by far.

We’ve gone through two levels of Janice’s training classes and are very happy. It’s a never ending work in progress to train a puppy but I feel like the knowledge we’ve gained from Janice has helped us on our way to a truly awesome dog. We got our puppy at 10 weeks and the Vet recommended Janice. We had her over for a private consult to get the entire family on the right track. My wife, two young daughters and myself were all over the place and it was so helpful to just have someone explain the basics for us and point out how we were doing it wrong. Our pup is now 10 months old and is so well behaved that she is a joy to take anywhere. People are always shocked at how well she listens and behaves, especially around children. We will continue using Janice’s services and I can’t recommend her enough. I’ve tell anyone who will listen that they should take advantage of her services.

My German Shorthair Pointer Sunny is a very active 1 year old. Janice gave Sunny and I three private lessons followed up by her intermediate obedience class. What a difference it made. Sunny has learned to stop jumping on people most of the time and can finally heel. I can even take her off leash. She pays attention now and loves training.
Janice has an excellent way with people and dogs. Her positive attitude gets the desired results from dogs and humans. Even at the obedience classes with 6 other dogs, Janice customizes her approach for each dog. I really felt she got to know Sunny and her strengths and weaknesses.

Janice has trained both Gracie, our Bernese Mountain Dog, and me in the Intermediate and Advanced classes. We graduated from Advanced last night and Janice was helpful and clear on how to work with dogs to get the desired behaviors. The class was small and hands on which allowed for one-​on-​one direction (and correction). Gracie is a better behaved dog thanks to Janice’s class.
Janice also taught Gracie how to swim, for safety reasons if she fell in the pool.

The Dog Whisper… or Mozart’s Mom! Jan is an amazing dog trainer.
She taught us how to train our dog (Mine was Sadie a, black Labrador) but it’s up to us (as our doggies owners) to teach them and continue at home with the training we get from Jan.
We did the puppy beginner class and learned commands, correction, types of leashes to use and not use, even tricks-​we chose «to shake hands». I love how she is so gentle and soft spoken and so successful in getting the dogs to do as we want as long as we are persistent and do what she teaches us to do.
I would definitely use Jan in the future and recommend her to ANYONE looking for dog training.
Thanks Jan your seriously awesome!!!
PS. Sadie is doing good… still super good on the lead but with a little more practice she’ll get there! Thanks!

It had been years since my husband and I had had a puppy in the house. After taking Janice’s classes, we realized that the problem was not with our puppy, but with my husband;) We have now been through training with two puppies, both of which have gone on to Intermediate Obedience, and then on to Advanced Obedience. Unfortunately I can’t say that my husband is as well behaved. Janice when will you start a class for husbands?
I am in the veterinary field and have referred many puppies as well as «problem» children to Janice. I have seen first hand the positive changes she has made with pets who have some serious «quirks». She is truly AMAZING! If you need a puppy class, are looking for a better mannered pet, or are looking to compete, Janice Tan’s Dog Training Service is the answer.

We have a weimaraner that we took to Janice’s puppy, intermediate, and advanced group training sessions where Janice covered basic commands. We were first time weim owners and Olive was rambunctious like most weims. She quickly learned to sit, down, stay, off, take it, leave it, wait, come, and take rest (our command for settle down). Janice was an awesome trainer and always took time to answer questions and catered each class to the dogs that were there.
We were pleased with the results and afterward I began taking Olive to Janice’s drop in obedience and rally classes on Saturdays. I have been attending drop in classes for several years and over that time Olive earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate and has completed two legs towards her Rally Novice (RN) title (the birth of our daughter has unfortunately kept me from entering Olive into trials and has slowed our progress toward any titles).
Since Janice actively trains her own dogs and enters them into matches and trials she always has pointers and offers multiple exercises to work through any issues. Janice is also very good at «reading» dogs — our dog can be aggressive when she feels threatened and Janice can always spot signs before I can! When training Janice focuses on not only the dogs, but the owners. I have found that often I mess up and my dog just follows my lead.
I have recommended Janice to all of my family and friends, including my parents and a coworker, and I continue to drop in on classes when possible.
