They were friendly and responsive but that's where the positive news ends. I paid for three trainings with our puppy and the training was so unhelpful I told them I didn't want to waste time with the third. I didn't expect my money back, but I did expect a call or some kind of outreach asking what could have been better. Do not recommend. read more

R+ Dog is our dog's home away from home and their team is like family. When we first began R+ Dog's day training program, we didn't know where to turn to change our dog's behavior issues. By applying consistent reward methods, they transformed his behavior, and his socialization skills are outstanding having been around the other dogs on a consistent basis. Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

R+Dog - R+ Dog students - Dog Walkers Near Me

I found this company on instagram and decided to give their day training a try for my cockapoo I had just adopted... And when I tell you, we both love it! Everyone is so nice and caring and keep you in the loop with what's going on with your fur baby! My puppy has been attending for 3 months now and he loves it. He knows when we pull up and he runs right to the door. My baby has learned so much here! I highly recommend to any family. read more

R+Dog - My fur baby, Kairo (: - Dog Walkers Near Me

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This is a scam. They demanded $200 of consultation fee to be paid before the appointment, I sent the fee and my appointment was confirmed. The consultation never happened, they ghosted me and took my $200 dollars. DO NOT TRUST THEM read more

While taking our dog on his weekly beach expedition to the Albany Bulb we ran into Janette. I first noticed her 5/6 dog pack when one of them pooped in the parking lot and the whole group moved on without Janette or the other woman with her picking up said poo. Maybe she didn't see it, once is not a big deal. However when we got the beach another dog from her pack shat right in front of her, and was left to be stepped in by a human, or be eaten by another dog. Please pick up your dogs poop. Besides the bad person leaving the poop thought the dogs were well behaved, and having a blast. read more

I've had my dog for over 5 years now. (More like my baby) R+Dog has been his personal trainer & teacher through the years. I've attended numerous classes, work shops & many one on one sessions for my pooch. Love the recall work & exercises. One of my favorite classes was the CGC Class, that showed me & my dog the wide range of the training R+ has. Grateful for such a trainer who has all the right answers. Will continue to use her services through the years as needed! Would definitely recommend her to friends & family & those who need all types of training with their dogs! I'd give 10 stars if I could! read more

Janette is the most amazing trainer I know!! She is patient and does not give up and will keep working with your dog until it is under control. Her passion and knowledge really translates into her work and I have seen it first hand. I took one of her recall classes and she was very helpful and professional. Her positive energy really gives you confidence when working with your own dog as well. I highly, highly recommend her and wish I was still in the area to work with her and my new rescue pup! I cannot say enough great things! Thank you Janette!! read more

When my fiancé and I first brought our 8 week old puppy home we were excited, but overwhelmed, unsure of how to train our dog we decided to get in touch with a trainer. Before calling Janette at R+Dogs we actually contacted a different trainer first. The first trainer we met with told us we were weren't allowed to show our dog affection, and that we must assert our dominance at all times, meaning that if we weren't training our dog she had to be crated (even when she became an adult). This training method felt wrong to us, so we decided to contact R+Dogs, and boy are we glad we did! Janette taught us that with positive reinforcement we can have the fun, and loving relationship that we wanted with our new pup! As first time dog owners she showed us how to be wonderful and responsible dog owners with positive reinforcement. After a few training sessions with Janette we also decided to sign our pup up for training walks in the hopes of upgrading her to group walks! Janette's training walks helped Lucy (our puppy) gain incredible recall and confidence. Now Lucy has graduated to group walks, and she looks forward to them every day. Janette treats our pup with unbelievable kindness and care, as if she were her own. Our puppy can be a little high maintenance and delicate, but this doesn't phase Janette at all. When Lucy gets picked up for walks we know that she is in incredibly good hands! Our dog always comes home from a walk tired and well trained! We plan to use her training services anytime we need help with our dog, and will be using her walking services as long as we live in the area! I cannot recommend Janette enough to anyone who either wants their dog to be walked, or needs help training their pup! read more

In part thanks to Janette, I have my career as a dog walker. Four years ago, she was one of the two certified pet dog trainers who took me along on her walks and taught me skills in reading dog body language, pack management, timing of rewards - pretty much advanced level stuff that apprenticing to just a dog walker would not have given me. I watched her build up training with dogs of every age and training level, from puppies to seniors. She is committed to positive methods and always turning learning into fun for her students, both dog and human. I've also seen her lead classes with dog owners (ok, maybe spying a little because I wanted to learn more skills...) and she is always able to break down complicated concepts into steps easy for even beginning dog owners to follow. I can't tell you how many people left her classes showering her with compliments. Rock on Janette! read more

We ran into Janette while walking our dog, Otis, in Tilden Park. She had a group of dogs off leash, who all sat obediently to the side of the trail looking up at her as we passed. Needless to say, we were beyond impressed and asked for her info. We had adopted our super shy five-year-old ten pound terrier and were nervous he wouldn't warm up to a dog walker/trainer. Janette came over to our apartment to meet with us and Otis. During the meeting we were reassured - Janette is clearly an expert and cares deeply about the dogs she works with. After the first walk, Janette told us that Otis was nervous and struggled to stay with the pack or come when called. She suggested we do training walks, where she takes a smaller group of dogs out for a slightly higher price to focus on training. After only a month, Janette told us Otis was ready to graduate to normal walks. We noticed that Otis was more comfortable around other dogs and people, better behaved, and actually started to play at home. He is clearly a much happier dog since beginning his walks with Janette and Sabrina. I could not recommend R+ more highly. Janette and her team are professional, patient, and kind. Above all, they clearly love the dogs they walk and train! read more

I have been a client of Janette's even before she opened R+ dogs. Her years of working with our four legged friends has shown compassion and efficacy from the first intro lesson all through to our now periodic check ins. She is proactive yet gentle in correcting the inappropriate behaviors. I love that she points out body language indicating certain behaviors and always leaves me with things to practice with my babies. I've referred her to many friends and still continue to train with her. read more

I had Janette come to my house to help me with my fearful dog, Minerva. She is AMAZING!!!!! Minerva loves her and she hates everyone. Janette showed me how to deal with her fears and to learn the world isn't such a scary place. She is a lifesaver! Minerva and I are having a very harmonious life thanks to her and her positive ways. She no longer fears going out for walks or people coming into the house, she actually looks forward to it now. I can't say enough great things about Janette. read more

R+Dog - Dog Walkers Near Me

Janette worked with my daughter and me and our new rescue dog (a pit-mix puppy). I consider myself very skilled at handling dogs but Bali was growing fast and becoming almost too much to control out in public. She was lunging at cars, bikes and sometimes joggers and other dogs. She was forcing her way past me to get out of the car. Bali was also showing new signs of fearfulness on her walks in general - especially at night. After working with Janette for a few (extremely helpful) private lessons, I signed Bali up for 3 days of training and boarding. Janette sent me videos of Bali working and playing in parks with other dogs and people as well as practicing entering & exiting the car calmly. Janette taught me how to get Bali to focus without special collars and without shouting at her. I'm so thankful to this company for providing 100 percent positive training for dogs and their humans - so effective - and Janette is a complete pro. I feel like my dog just went to something that is usually reserved for the wealthy... Like some thing I should not be able to afford... But rplus dog training is affordable and you and your dog get results that are priceless. I have the skills and so does my dog to walk outside without being stressed or worried. She made my walks with Bali enjoyable again! read more

I am so happy I found Janette! I have a tiny yorkie & she was so good with him. She makes it look so easy & gave me excellent training tips & advice. I plan on working with her more. She is definitely the trainer to call! read more

I have a big breed sterotyped doggie, so when he was small it was ok taking him out on walks as he got big it was harder taking him out because everyone got intimidated and he just wants to play not attack you and your dog. After taking some classes with my sons it helped us gain the confidence we lacked and make our walks so much better. For that I am greatful and so happy I took Janette's class and i recommed it to everyone!!! read more

My two beloved pups and I have also been clients of Janette's since well before she started R+Dog. Janette has been our teacher/trainer in group settings, in one-on-one sessions, on off-leash park trips and she has become our pet sitter. A few years ago while my pups were on an off-leash park trip with a well-known, local dog services company, the person leading the trip "lost" my dogs. Janette was called, she dropped what she was doing and drove to the scene, determined exactly where the dogs would be, retrieved them and brought them back safely. Since that time my dogs have only been in the care of Janette or someone Janette has designated as safe and capable. Janette is kind and endlessly patient (with people and pups); gentle yet firm; always professional while friendly and accessible; possesses expert knowledge and she is absolutely reliable. Janette is our trusted friend and advisor. My dogs love Janette (as do I) and I recommend her unconditionally. Phyllis C. read more

I have been a client of Janette's and love working with her. My first experience was at a recall class where she taught me how to get my new rescue dog to come. It was such a great class that I felt comfortable having Janette come to my home and take Pebbles for daily hikes. Best decision. I completely trust Janette not only with my dog, but with the key to my house. She would take Pebbles out to run, play and socialize with other dogs. She would also practice recall and general manners with her. She would give me feedback and even sent pictures and a video of Pebbles' good behavior on her walks. I would highly recommend Janette to take care of your dog! read more

R+ is amazing! We did training walks for my big baby Listo and we couldn't be happier. Not only did he get training, Listo got socialized and exercise! Who wouldn't want to come home to a smarter and tired pup. 100% Satisfied. Thank you for all the great training tips and advice! read more

I agree with other reviewers, I can't recommend Janette enough. I was home one day when Janette's assistant, Sabrina, came by to get Bean for her walk, and Bean got some crazy happy zoomies, jumping on the couch, twirling, etc. She clearly loves her walks. And I love that Janette does training with the dogs on the walks and lets me know what I need to work on with Bean. She's also incredibly flexible - I've sprung last-minute walk requests on her and she's never said no. Really, really appreciate what she does for Bean. read more

Wonderful experience! I attended her Basic Manners class and signed up for a few private sessions for my leash aggressive dog. Janette was very professional and helped me so much with my dog. I love that she is all about positive reinforcement. I will definitely use her again in the future. read more

If I could rate Janette at R+Dog 6 stars, I would! She is simply the BEST dog trainer and walker out there! When I first got my dog, Allie, I quickly realized I had no idea what I was doing or how to train her. I hired a few other trainers but it wasn't until I met Janette that things started to improve. Janette was so patient and helped train me as well as my dog! Her positive reinforcement training methods goes to show how much she cares for animals and she explains things easily and clearly. She gave me lots of tips and advice on what to do when my dog would guard treats or sticks from other dogs, when she wouldn't come when I called, as well as basic obedience training. Now Allie comes whenever I call, she doesn't guard from other dogs and she stopped jumping up on people! I'm grateful to R+Dog for helping make my dog so wonderful and easy to manage! I can take Allie anywhere and not worry about her misbehaving! read more

Thanks to Janette my puppy turned into the ideal dog. Janette was there for me throughout my dogs puppy hood, I can say I have a well behaved, socialized puppy that I love. Janette is the puppy person who can put you and your pup on the road to success! Thanks! read more

Janette is simply the best! She is very knowledgeable, but most importantly she cares about your dog. I adopted a big dog from a rescue that had no training. My dog was found living on the streets and he acted like it. Janette customized a training plan for my dog and he is no longer the wild beast he used to be. He now sits, lays down when asked, no more jumping and he also comes when called. He is great with other dogs and everyone, including babies and small children. I highly recommend Janette at R+Dog. When she says "R dog's are family", she really means it! read more

Janette and her crew are excellent. My puppy Lily loves her walks. She returns happy and tired from her fun outside adventures with the other dogs. I highly recommend R+Dog. Jeanette is very positive and respectful. read more
