Jill G.

I had the pleasure of working with Jill recently to train my young Beagle/​CKC mix. She was wonderful to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I was in a small group for a series of classes.
You can tell that she is truly a dog lover and so can your dog. Dogs seem to love her attention. When my dog saw her after the first session — she immediately sprang into happy happy mode.
Jill took the time to train all the basic obedience commands but also personalized the training for each dog. She took the time to ask what types of issues we were having that might be unique to our dog and situation. She offered guidance on how best to address these personalized situations. Then — she taught specific things based upon their breed characteristics. As my ½ beagle dog loved nose work — she worked with us on coming up with creative ways for our dog to engage her nose in finding things, etc.
Jill was not a clock watcher and does her work for more than just the money. She enjoys training. I was unable to make a class and Jill worked with me to setup a make-​up session which was great. She oftentimes went over the allotted time since she was so involved in training.
I had a great experience with Jill and I recommend her strongly!!!

Jill definitely has a very special way with dogs. My little Benny met her when he was 12 weeks and weighed 2 pounds. He was so timid and didn’t want to socialize with other dogs. After some work with Jill, he now loves people and other dogs. He knows how to sit, stay, come, down, shake, speak, bow, spin in a circle. Okay now I sounds like a bragging mom. Thanks Jill! Benny and I are so glad we met you.

I have had my beautiful rescue puppy for a year now. Of that time, Jill G has known him 11 months of the time. I like to think that my puppy was born perfect and behaves the way he does because he is just so smart… but I have to say that Jill had alot to do with it. He has seen her once every week and since he was only 4 months old, has been trained so well that I don’t know what a bad behaving dog is all about. He’s been a breeze and a joy to have around thanks to Jill! You rock, girl! Thanks for making my life and Simba’s so enjoyable!

I was having some behavioral problems with my dog, a five week old puppy. When he didn’t want to do something he would bite me and sometimes he bit other people too. He refused to go into his travel case, and barked all the time at strangers. Jill G. was very patient and showed me how to relate to my dog and deal with these problems. Dogs have their own way of relating and I had to learn to show him I was the alpha dog. Things I could not do with my own dog she was able to do right away like get him to let her comb his hair without biting her. I have made great progress following her advice and my dog is behaving much better. What I like best is she is very gentle with the dog and uses positive reinforcement to get the dog to do what is needed.
If you are having any behavioral problem with your dog I highly recommend Jill G. she is really fun to work with and highly effective.
