I reached…read moreout to Jen for help with my American Pit Bull Terrier, specifically, to help him be calm and be a well-mannered pup in public places. Doug was transformed from an excited dog to a respectful companion. Jen also trained me to be my dog's handler, which enables me to continue training my dog. I enjoyed Jen's humor, deep knowledge of dogs, and her loving approach to training. It is clear she loves dogs, and they love her back. Jen has my 100% vote of confidence, and I highly recommend her.

Jennifer We 1000% recommend Jennifer's services!!!…read more She is an extremely talented trainer and fabulous human I cannot say enough good things about. Jennifer took our socially awkward and anxious English Springer from rambunctious and out of control behavior to a well mannered dog. We're a happier family now that there's control established. We can take him in the car, answer the door without him charging and jumping on people and eat/cook dinner without him under our feet while he stays in place. He'll come back instantly when off leash and even stop a squirrel chase on my command! Jennifer also offers sessions after her focused training period to keep the tools fresh for you and the dog. We would have been struggling on our own for sure with this guy. Thanks, Jennifer!!

Our 8-lb, 3-year-old toy poodle suddenly began showing aggressive behavior. We immediately had him…read moreevaluated by two veterinarians, including appropriate testing, and confirmed the issue was behavioral--not medical. We contacted Bark Busters in Livermore due to strong reviews. That trainer referred us to the trainer covering our area, Sarah Harrington. She assured us she had handled similar cases many times and that their method--different from traditional training--could correct the behavior, although there is no guarantee. Based on that, we agreed to proceed despite the high cost. The fee is $1,875 (lifetime training), paid in full upfront. In hindsight, that should have given us pause. At the initial visit, our dog reacted very negatively--barking continuously and backing away. This was unusual, as he is normally friendly with new people. The trainer also appeared fearful, explaining she had recently been bitten by another dog. A significant portion of the session was spent reading from a binder rather than actively engaging with us or demonstrating techniques until after the total fee was paid in full. This method does not use treats at all. We followed the approach consistently for over three weeks. Instead of improving, our dog became more fearful, his personality seemed to change, and the aggression worsened. When we raised concerns, we were told to continue. The trainer did not proactively check in; we were told follow-up was our responsibility. Given the seriousness of the issue and the cost, we expected more support. We ultimately decided to stop. No partial refund was offered. We were told the contract would become void if we did not re-engage within seven days. We were also cautioned about posting a negative Yelp review. We are sharing our experience so others can make an informed decision. We hope your experience is better than ours.

When we arrived I warned Lindsey we have not been away from our baby boy and I was probably going to bug her to check on him, Lindsey was understanding and gave me a tour and lots of reassurance so we trusted her to keep our pup happy. Without asking Lindsey sent us pics of our pup playing with the other dogs having so much fun and it made me enjoy our trip without worrying. Lindsey made this experience for me feel less fearful to leave our pup on future trips when we are unable to bring him.
