Testimonials
Jane was recommended by a top veterinary behaviorist to help us with our reactive Mastiff pup. With her detailed notes, thoughtful observations and thorough training plan, our boy is happier, less stressed and his dog aggression is greatly reduced. We continue to engage her services and are relieved and grateful to have her on-board!

Thank you for your kind words and referrals!
“Jane's guidance has been a lifesaver for our 3 dogs! Their move to a new environment made them super reactive to everything. We were amazed at how quickly Jane helped them adjust. Walks in the park, which used to be stressful, are now a breeze. Our most reactive pup can even walk off-leash in allowed areas thanks to Jane's fantastic recall training! I can't recommend Jane enough! Her knowledge of dog behavior is top-notch, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to guide us humans too. She makes the training process fun for everyone involved, and most importantly, it's helped us create a much calmer and happier home for our furry babies.”

Jane is such a wonderfully kind and calm presence. It is clear that she loves dogs and has a real gift in connecting with them. We have noticed great improvements in our pup's attention, recall and leash walking after working with Jane. We have a clear plan about how to address other behaviour concerns and feel so much more hopeful. Jane is great at communicating clearly - she responded to our emails quickly and sent along very helpful summaries of our visits after each training session. Thanks so much Jane!

I cannot recommend Jane strongly enough. We worked with Jane when our dog was struggling a lot with leash reactivity not only was she incredible to work with but she got great results! Our dog is now able to happily walk the busy, dog filled streets of Vancouver. Jane is obviously knowledgeable and she (and her dog Vigo!) made the training fun for us and our dog.

“Jane is amazing! She loves dogs and infuses that into everything that she did for us. Our dog loves her and was super responsive to everything that she worked on with her. We hired Jane to teach our dog how to walk on a leash without pulling and just to have our dog spend some time with a stranger to socialize to other people, and the impact was almost instantaneous. She is patient, lovely, and took lots of time to communicate with us around what she was doing, how she was doing it, why she was doing it, and how we could continue working on the cues that she was teaching our dog. I would highly recommend Jane and her company!”

“Jane is so knowledgeable! I never knew how positive reinforcement could be so effective for encouraging good behaviour AND curbing bad. We covered all every conceivable avenue of puppy socialization. My dog is so confident in the real world now.”
-Colby and Leo, Vancouver BC
“Working with Jane was so, so helpful. My dog responded to her training right away, and his behaviour started to improve immediately. I acquired lots of techniques and skills over the course of our six sessions and feel much more relaxed when we are out and about. I will definitely call on Jane again if we need to do any further training in the future. Thank you so much!”

We worked with Jane to help our 3 year old Aussiedoodle, George, with his reactivity towards certain dogs in our neighborhood. Jane was so helpful and gave us lots of detailed feedback after each session. George is already improving after 3 sessions with Jane, her training tips were easy to implement into our day to day with George. I would highly recommend her training services

“We really enjoyed working with you. We learned a lot and our puppies will be better dogs because of your expertise. For instance, Winnie took off down the hall the other night and I used “here” and she came running back, luckily I had a few dried sardines. I was so relieved! We will definitely be in touch as I am sure we still have a lot to learn.”

“With Jane's coaching Hank has become more confident and less scared/reactive, is polite, and has a really strong recall. Jane was able to hear our description of our Hank's behavior, understand what is going on in his dog brain, and immediately identify how to change his behavior or response. She has clear, step-by-step, exercises that are fun for both us and Hank and lead to quick learning. Most importantly, with Jane's guidance we achieved these things without using any form of fear or dominance based tactics and as a result Hank is happy, trusting, and well-behaved.”

“Simple, solid and practical advice that showed results immediately!”

“We recently adopted a rescue dog, which can come with a lot of unknowns and challenges. Jane was incredibly helpful in walking us through the dog training process, including housetraining, dealing with unwanted behaviors and managing separation. We very much appreciated her positive approach to training and her clear guidance. With her support, we now have succeeded in raising our (almost) perfect pup! “
-Jordan, Dorothy & Murphy, Boston Massachusetts
“Jane is great! We did her puppy socialization class. It was well adapted to keep us safe from COVID-19, and she goes above and beyond to answer questions and provide you with extra materials outside of class. She's super responsive and our puppy loves her "treat forward" AnimalKind techniques. We can't wait for adult class.”
-Aleita N. & Alfred, Vancouver Canada
We are so grateful for Jane! We have a 2 year old adopted husky who was not well- socialized and accordingly needs to work on play skills with other dogs. Jane has given us so many effective tools to help with this process and helped us gain a better understanding of what our dog is communicating to us and to other dogs. I most appreciate her honesty, pragmatism, and ability to break down daunting tasks into achievable steps.
