Customer Reviews
We love Jenny! I’ve had the opportunity to work with her twice, once in a virtual group setting and then later on we did some one-on-one coaching through a specific issue. She is a knowledgeable and compassionate dog trainer and I felt so comfortable talking with her about the issues I was having with my dog. She advised me on some new routines to help with cooperative care, muzzle training, and crate training to help my dog with his reactivity around the house and to strangers (we have a Great Pyrenees), and every one of her tips that I’ve applied has been great. I’d highly recommend reaching out to Jenny if you’re struggling with reactivity with your dog, and the virtual training option is such a game changer! I’ve spent thousands on in person training and lessons with other dog trainers that didn’t hold up in the long run; Jenny is the real deal!

Dog trainers may use positive reinforcement, reward-based methods, clicker training, or other approaches suited to their professional experience. Review each profile to understand the trainer's methods, qualifications, and available services. For severe or complex behavioral concerns, a veterinarian or qualified animal behavior professional may also be an important part of your dog's care.

Some trainers work with young dogs learning household routines and basic skills, while others specialize in adult dogs, rescue dogs, or dogs that need help developing specific behaviors.

What age can a dog start training?
Dogs can learn at different ages and stages of life. Some trainers work with young dogs learning basic skills, while others specialize in adult dogs, rescue dogs, or specific training challenges. Check each professional's profile for the ages and experience levels they serve.
Can a dog trainer help with leash pulling, jumping, and barking?

Can dog training help with fear or reactivity?
Some trainers have experience helping dogs develop better responses to triggers and challenging everyday situations. Ask about the professional's experience with your dog's specific behavior. Serious aggression, significant fear, or complex behavioral concerns may require veterinary guidance or an animal behavior specialist.
Do dog trainers offer in-home sessions in Las Vegas, Nevada?
Many dog trainers offer private instruction in a pet parent's home or at an agreed-upon local location. Service areas and travel availability vary, so review the professional's profile or contact them to confirm whether they serve your neighborhood.
