Did you know?

An estimated 47% of dogs surrendered to shelters are given up due to behavioral problems that could have been resolved with proper training and guidance. â€‹â€‹

 

Lets change this!  It's easier than you think...By gaining knowledge and skill through one of my effective, balanced training programs, you can help keep pets like yours in their forever homes where they belong. And then, you can share what you learned with others. Together we can make a big change!

Meet Janae

Dog Trainer, Rescuer...

Misunderstanding leads to frustration. I’ve seen it time and time again. With over 9 years of experience in rescue and rehab, I’ve seen dogs struggle because of this. I’ve observed a lot about behavior in both dogs and people, that’s why my training isn’t just about obedience- its about understanding. A real understanding between you and your dog.

​

By focusing on the link between what WE do and the results WE get, I help both ends of the leash find clarity, confidence and trust.

​

Creating a shared language between you and your dog, using a customized, rewards-based balanced approach and dog psychology,  lets turn struggles into success,  leading to positive outcomes, better understanding, clear communication and a stronger connection.

WHAT IS BALANCED TRAINING?

A balanced dog trainer uses a combination of positive reinforcement (like treats, praise, and rewards) to encourage desired behaviors, while also applying fair and humane corrections to address unwanted behaviors.

​

This approach provides clear communication and structure, helping dogs understand both what to do and what not to do.

​

In essence, Balanced Training bridges the gap between the extremes of Positive only or Aversive training styles and combines the best of both worlds, ensuring dogs feel motivated to learn while also understanding boundaries to create well-behaved, confident dogs.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

"Janae helped us overcome some behavior issues with our rescue. She helped us through a very tough time of kennel training and realizing it was a behavioral issue not a separation anxiety. She had very helpful suggestions and tools for making our adoption of a rescued boxer successful.   We would absolutely rely on her for a future consultation!"
