“I was having issues with my foster dog. Jen taught me so much about how to handle my dog Annie. Jen helped me make Annie feel safe and secure. We are in the process of adopting Annie so she is a permanent member of our family. Thank you Jen!”

“We sent our puppy for transition training. He did amazing and he came home with a strong foundation for us to continue working with him! We just followed what Jenn told us to do when we got home! We had a few things we really wanted (no jumping, calm door greeting) and she really focused on those things for us. Best money we could have spent!”

“My wife and I truly believe Jenn is one of the most gifted dog trainers in the country. Our dog is a rockstar. All we did was follow Jen’s instructions.”

“It has been a long time since we had a puppy. Our breeder Riverbend Labradoodles put us in touch with The Grateful Dog LLC trainer Jen. We are so happy we choose to send Maui to the puppy transition training. Words can’t describe the knowledge we left with and the amazing puppy. We appreciate the positive training he experienced with Jen. Even after the training if I had any questions, all I had to do was text Jen and she would answer. Your puppy/dog is family they will be with you hopefully for many, many years a well-behaved well-socialized pet is very rewarding to you and themselves. When we add another Riverbend Labradoodle to our family we will be sending them to The Grateful Dog LLC Thank you Jen Maui sends kisses !!!!!!”

“Jen is the Mary Poppins of dog training. The tips and tricks just keep coming. Not only does she give you the tools you need to train your dog, but an understanding of their perspective too. She’s been so generous, and so patient with our never-ending questions. I only wish we had consulted her sooner!”

“Jennifer was amazing on every level or our training session! She only uses positive reinforcement and love in her training methods and yields incredible results. 🐶💜🐶💜”

“As a first-time puppy owner, transition training at The Grateful Dog was invaluable! I have the most well-adjusted pup and a wonderful support system in Rachel and Jen. I highly recommend this dynamic duo.”

“Pippa is growing up in a long-term care facility as a companion pet. Our pup must be successful as she is deeply loved by more than 100 people with whom she lives. She went directly from our excellent breeder, Riverbend Labradoodles to The Grateful Dog for 5 weeks of loving, positive training. Jen, thanks for all you have done to make this work. Pippa is beyond wonderful bringing love, smiles, and comfort to her people.”

“Jen @ The Grateful Dog has transformed our ability to stay sane while puppy rearing! Simple, proven techniques from making the crate a happy, safe place to tethering...to recipes for frozen Kongs! Sincerely am so grateful to have Jen and The Grateful Dog in our world ❤”

“Jen & The Grateful Dog was the best experience our family could have had!! From the first phone call to answer all of our “1st puppy questions” 3 weeks ago to the thorough walk-through of how to continue Jax’s success post-training today, and every day in between, Jen truly exceeded all our expectations!! She had so much patience with us during the training process, and made sure to keep up in the loop with his progress, and sent the cutest pictures and videos to make us smile while we missed our newest fam member!! The time truly flew by, and Jen made it all worth it! Welcoming him back was such an amazing experience for our family, and watching Jax run to the door when Jen left surely showed us how much love he was shown and was an impact she made! Thank you, Jen!!! We appreciate you❤️🐶”

“When we got our puppy, we knew there would be a lot to learn and that it could feel quite overwhelming. Jen helped us right from the start, getting a great schedule together, ways to deal with the major issues that could come up, and helping us be effective as great partners with our dog to make for the best environment for everyone. Any client of a dog trainer is going to have to put in the work to follow through on their system, but Jen’s worked to perfection for us. She understands the needs not only of the dog, but of the people who will have to guide the dog’s experience, helping us to create a happy, structured, kind, and smooth living space. Her methods make sense, keep things positive, and are highly effective with the right follow through. It isn’t even too demanding! If anything, following her set up to a t made everything easier. In just three weeks, our little girl is doing great and growing in her understanding of her environment, happy and loving as can be, and expanding her capabilities, while we have integrated her into our lives without much disruption and with great joy. Jen is a life saver!”

“We sent our puppy for puppy transition training. Jennifer exceeded all of our expectations. He did great while there, and continues to do great at home too. While there he learned his name, was crate trained, learned to sit and was well on his way to being completely potty trained. He was socialized with kids and other dogs while there and has done great with that since being home as well. We get compliments on how well behaved he is when we have people over or are out and about. Jennifer was outstanding with our pup! Definitely worth the investment!”
