Janine is a great dog/people trainer! She has helped our dogs come a long way with their training.

We have so far done 3 classes of our 9 class puppy day school! It's an amazing resource ! The 4 hours of puppy free time to catch up on errands is amazing ! Not only that our puppy is definitely picking up on our training at home so much faster since starting . Before bringing your puppy in they do a home evaluation visit that was so helpful for advice and understanding how to set our puppy up for success. It is great that our puppy gets some safe socializing with other puppies and I notice he's not as timid of reactive when passing other dogs on his walks . Melissa and Courtney have been nothing but helpful and super informative! I love that when picking up our food boy they are open to questions for advice for working on training questions we have at home. Definitely worth the money! Great investment to make sure your puppy grows into a healthy happy good boy! We will be continuing with the obedience class after day school is over as well! read more

We used J9's K9s for private lessons for our dog to work on on-leash training and general obedience. We worked with Melissa and she was great! She clearly has a passion for what she does and was able to provide simple tips to improve not only on-leash, but also our dogs behavior in public settings. Melissa was flexible on locations and recommended specific meet ups based on what we wanted to work on. We bought a 3 lesson package and saw results within that time. Thanks again! read more

It works! - I have a X-Large Rottweiler that was extremely hard to handle and stubborn on walks. I had tried several trainers with varying philosophies. My daily walks were stressful and taking a toll on my joints due to the persistent and unexpected pulling. Courtney and Amanda were quickly able to address my walks and provided me with a tremendous amount of knowledge and techniques. I am now able to peacefully walk my dog. They have left with me lifelong lessons that I am able to leverage to teach my dog just about anything ( I could probably get my dog to write this review) - I am grateful and proud that I took a chance on J9. In retrospective, The private trainings were worth every pennie and considering everything I had tried without success I would pay 10x. I had completely lost hope and had accepted a nightmare as reality. If you are reading this and have doubts, just sign up!, pay attention and work towards your goals read more

Here's the bottom line: Janine's training at J9's K9s saved our dog's life. He almost ran across the street and we used the "recall word" we were trained on in the classes and he stopped right at the street. We've done at least 3 classes with J9's K9s and have referred several people including our neighbor across the street who has a Weimaraner puppy. So worth it. read more

This morning, our 9 month old puppy got out while I was bringing up our garbage bins -- I could see him starting to nervously head in the wrong direction, but I used the emergency recall word we learned in class and he immediately turned and bolted back to me. So, THANK YOU J9's K9's So far we've taken 3 classes with Courtney -- two classes with our puppy, and one class with our older pup. Courtney is so kind, knowledgable, and clearly cares about all of her students. We will definitely be back for more classes this year and cannot recommend J9's K9's enough! read more

Janine was fantastic with us and our new rescue dog "Ella" in our training session. Ella has progressed dramatically in just a few short weeks. The information imparted by Janine is leading us and our dog to a much better relationship. Thank you, Janine read more

My granddaughter & I started with J9 K9s dog training with my "granddog" in the beginning and then intermediate classes. I found Janine and her crew very professional and extremely knowledgeable & experienced in all areas that we worked on. Janine is very kind and generous in her knowledge as she has allowed all students & graduates to call her anytime and talk to her after classes if we have any issues or questions. She seems truly interested & caring for all dog lovers & to improve the knowledge of each student. If, by some chance, a student will be missing a class, Janine will zoom the lesson & email it to them so nothing is missed. The facilities are clean, smell free, have a restroom, & goodies for both dogs & humans....if we are good :))). read more

Great staff and if you miss a lesson you can zoom it and it was awesome. They listen to all your concerns.

I was having a hard time with my mini schnauzer barking at other dogs. The trainer came over and my pup was her best friend she loved her. We did some training inside and some outside so she could see what Zoey was doing. From there with a treat and a command when another dog approached it took Zoey's attention away from the other dog until they passed us and we could continue our walk. I know it sounds too easy but it really worked. Having the trainer come to the house and talk me through it made a big difference. She was patient and very knowledgeable. read more

We absolutely LOVE J9sK9s! We started our pup in the beginner obedience class when he was only 4 months old and everyone is always so impressed with how well-behaved he is for being such a young pup! Janine's techniques are fun and SO effective. (To the reviewer who said we bribe them with treats, ummm duh? It's called a reward! They also teach you how to eventually wean off the treats so they're still obedient without having to constantly give them treats.) She gives a lot of tips and pointers and helped us realize negative things we were doing that we didn't even realize! We just graduated from the intermediate class then plan on moving on to advanced and many of the other specialty classes that are offered! read more

We recently rescued a puppy. We live in an apartment and work full-time. We were adjusting to the schedule of having a puppy and learning our dogs dislikes and likes. In that process, we realized that there were some things that we wanted to teach our puppy. I reached out to our veterinary and she recommended J9's K9's. Our goals have been to socialize our puppy, to teach him basic commands, to teach him to love his crate (he hated his crate), and to show him where he was allowed to be on our couch. I reached out to the owner Janine, shared with her our goals and some of the challenges we were having, and she connected us with one of her trainers, Christina. Christina came to our place and did a private session. We learned A TON of beneficial information and ways to deal with my puppy's behaviors. We created a customized plan that worked for our apartment and we worked with our puppy on various things: All that I mentioned above, as well as what do while we are eating at the table, how to handle our puppy while we are walking him, and how to deal with the fact that our dog is not nice to larger dogs (he has short man's complex..lol). Christina was incredible. Not only did we see dramatic changes in one session, but Christina left us with the necessary tools to continue training our dog on our own. The same night after Christina left, our puppy went in to his crate on his own and fell asleep (see attach picture). Our puppy HATED the crate before our session. I have continued to reach out to Christina with questions and she has been a valuable resource. She has helped us tremendously. We are very pleased with Christina, J9's K9's, and I would highly recommend this place to any dog owner who is having challenges with their fur baby. :-) This is also a great place to just train your dog with socialization and basic commands. read more

My new pup is crazy and out of control. We started about 6 weeks ago and although instructor is a bit tough at times, she really knows her stuff. Pup is following a lot more and will continue to sign up for classes. read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 60 Having been involved in competitive dog sports/training for over 18 years, I can tell you that Janine is one of the best instructors that I've had the privilege to know. She is very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Her ability to read dog behavior is amazing. Highly recommend classes at this facility and if your lucky enough to enroll in one taught by Janine, you're in for a treat. read more

My comment is based on my personal experience with one of their trainer and it may or may be a reflection across the company. I had conversation with the owner and described the behavior of my dog and what specific needs I have, she understood and recommend another trainer. I spoke with the trainer and scheduled in-person appointment. We paid hefty assessment fee and showed up at the facility. There we spent 1.5 hour and ended up discussing the same concerns (multiple times in different versions :( ), which we already discussed over the phone. I participated in the discuss anticipating that we're going to learn something new, but nothing. We came back with what we went in with without any benefit. All in all we wasted - almost 3 hours including travel time - money Very disappointed and feel we got ripped off, and wondering how come they have such great reviews which were the basis of my selection. read more

I cannot be more pleased with J9's K9s! I left a message at 8pm and Janine called me the next day. I had sent query emails/calls to other trainers early in the day but the one I got the fastest response form was Janine. She listened to my spiel about my dog and what our desired outcomes were. She had questions and suggestions. She said she would give my number to the trainer she thinks would work for us. Same story: Courtney called within a day! She listened much like Janine did, and we were able to book 2 sessions during that first call. When she arrived, she knew exactly how to deal with our 1-year old male Pomsky (read high-strung, high-energy) immediately. Akela loves having her over! She worked with him but more importantly worked with us so we know how to train him on a consistent, day-to-day basis. It was learning for the entire family! Courtney is so in-tune with Akela which gives me a lot of peace of mind. She never lets his stress and anxiety get in the way. She accommodates his needs but doesn't spoil him. Aside from the classes, we are able to reach Courtney with questions, cries for help, etc by phone or email. So convenient and gives us comfort knowing we can reach an expert when needed. We've had 3 classes and lots or progress. We are learning a lot about our adopted baby (with a lot of previous baggage as it turns out) through Courtney. We love him dearly and because of the new skills we are learning, we are able to love him in the way he needs. Thank you, Courtney!!!!!!!! read more

Just as expected, nothing short of 5 stars! The customer service that I received that you can reference in my initial review was more so exemplified during my 6 week beginner course I enrolled my pup (not such a pup anymore) in. From start to finish, she does a great job of spending time in class with each dog and owner to make sure they are getting the right type of training. She is unbelievably reliable at returning phone calls and answering questions (we are actually in a current game of phone tag, my fault, not hers...she's relentless) and as always, surprises me everyday with how much knowledge she has for specific dog types. But we all already know that Janine's customer service is an A+! Now on to the service side: STILL 5 STARS! It is simply amazing to watch how much some of the dogs in the class changed within such a short amount of time. 6 weeks really does fly by fast but the improvements I saw each week for each dog was unbelievable! Dogs that were timid or overly-hyper turned out confident and obedient. Easily distracted dogs became more attentive to their owners rather than their surroundings. These were just a few of the very noticeable improvements in dog behaviors that any customer of J9's K9's can expect to see, and even more! ALSO: For my class, there were 1 to 2 (normally 2) training assistants in each class. SUE AND MELISSA (I hope I got your name's right), THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP DURING THE CLASSES!! They really helped Janine with having the class run smoothly and being able to make sure all the owners and dogs were being watched responsibly. I am 100% enrolling my Bella into intermediate classes, no hesitation needed! If you're looking for a genuine, compassionate, caring and reliable place to have your dog trained, don't hesitate to enroll in J9's K9's classes ASAP! read more

Anyone who gives a one-star, doesn't understand training starts with you the owner. You need to be trained to train your dog. And the best training i have ever received is with Courtney and Jeanine. Done beginner and intermediate and will continue to do more because of the results. My dog is more confident than she has ever been. She's a rescue and didn't come from the best place. You couldn't tell because of well confident she is. Love the tricks they teach you too outside of behavior training. i'd give 10 stars if i could. read more

I have taken puppy training, Beginner obedience , intermediate obedience and now advanced obedience classes. I have a 9 months old Doberman female named Harley. I must say that this training has absolutely helped with my Harley's behavior. Courtney and Janine are great. I also love that i can call them anytime I have questions or need advice. I think they have a life time client with us. I will continue to do class because it never hurts for more training and skills. I would recommend J9sK9s in a heart beat. read more

Had a great experience here learning to work with my new dog. Janine is experienced, caring and knowledgeable and made it a breeze to train my dog. I also appreciated that she gave the class YouTube videos to watch for further help, although that made it so I didn't need to sign up for additional classes, so not sure that's the best business practice for her... I took off one star because the location is a bit sketchy, especially for evening classes. I definitely felt I had to look over my shoulder when walking through the parking lot at night. read more

Hired private instructor lesson for our new dog and the trainer spent an entire hour talking to us and never spent anytime with the dog. I have hired few different trainers to see how each outfit functions and by far, this outfit was the worst. Don't bother with these people read more

I was directed to Janine and her program over 7 years ago with my two Golden retriever puppies who were littermates. Her direction in classes has been outstanding over the years and as a result, both my Goldens were amazing and well behaved dogs and have earned several titles based on the foundation she provided. Training two puppies from the same litter was a challenge she walked us through. I could not be more pleased with the results. I in particular appreciate that fact she and her staff stay current on the emerging scientifically based methodology for teaching dogs. I have seen her methodology evolve over the years based on her ongoing efforts to always learn new approaches and better ways to train. Because of her program, I know the relationship with my dogs is much better than I could have ever anticipated. She has taught me to understand them and communicate with them in an effective but loving way. She dealt with me and with each of my dogs based on their individual strengths and temperaments. J9sK9s does NOT use a cookie cutter approach but modifies the approach to the goal (ex: sit, down, etc) according to the dogs' and individuals' needs and limitations. Her teaching approach is easily understood by both children and adults especially since the whole family is included in the training sessions. J9sK9s program teaches everything from the basics of care and training for puppies to the advanced titles AKC offers for advanced dogs. Unfortunately, one of my Goldens has died. I cannot wait until I can enter my new family member into the puppy head start program when he is old enough. I would go nowhere else for training and I cannot recommend J9sK9s enough! read more

We had training with Caroline at our home and am glad that we had decided to do this vs. at the facility. This allowed Caroline to see the issues we were encountering like the yappy dogs next door and the surrounding environment that was causing our dog distress. Caroline helped us to understand our dog better and allowed us all (as a family) to hear the same message so that we could all train her in the same way so that the expected response from our dog could be achieved. We've seen significant improvements in our dog. For the first time ever, I was able to walk my dog alone without being pulled by her while going uphill. Our dog has learned to listen better to commands and our neighbors have seen a big improvement in her behavior. I am grateful for Caroline's patience and calmness. I feared that my dog's nipping behavior would frighten or harm her, but she knew exactly how to take control and manage her. She taught us "high value treats" and games we could play to keep our dog engaged. Simple things like how to properly hold a "loose leash" was important for all of us to hear. We also learned how to redirect our dog so she wouldn't constantly be pulling ahead of us. Our dog has also learned how to ignore the yapping dogs next door when she hears them and is learned to become desensitized to their constant barking. I am grateful that Caroline addressed these issues because these yapping dogs aren't going to go away, so learning how to deal with this, was very important. I feel our dog is significantly more manageable and we owe this to Caroline. We could never get our dog to go to the front gate without pulling us, and now she can walk to the gate and not be so hyper energized. I appreciate the positive training tips! Caroline helped us to understand how our behaviors and responses to our dog was affecting our dog. I highly recommend Caroline and would request her back if I felt my dog might need further training. Thank you Caroline! read more

This is the dog that led me to J9'sK9s. He was my first Golden, but not my first dog. All of my dogs, no matter the breed, the size, or the pedigree, had one thing in common. They all pulled when walking, and I could never be sure they would come back to me if they got loose. After that Golden broke my leg, sent me to rehab for a bad shoulder, and ultimately a ACL surgery, I knew after he passed and I got another, I had to try something different. Introduce J9'sK9s and Janine Pierce. With her training I finely had a dog that was what a good dog should be. Loose leash walking, turn on a dime and return to me when called while off leash, and no bolting out the front door are but a few of the issues solved with my second Golden Retriever and obedience training with Janine. Between the two dogs I now have, I have attended nine classes, and although I'm going through the same levels again with the newest pup (beginner, intermediate, advanced), they are all new and fresh. It's not just my dogs that have benefited from attending group class at the facility, but I see how she evaluates each dog and their handler, then adjusts the training accordingly, both for the dogs and the class as a whole. Just to watch her demonstrate with all the different breeds is fascinating. And if you are lucky enough to attend one of her seminars, I highly recommend it. The abundance of knowledge she has is unbelievable. read more

We're currently about halfway through our first beginner obedience class taught by Christina and we're very happy with it so far. The training room is located above a laundromat and has plenty of parking. The surrounding area is busy and feels safe. The classroom itself has little "stalls" for the dogs so that they aren't distracted by sitting right next to one another. We live in a neighborhood with a few dogs that sprint out of their yards barking when you walk past and this has caused my dog to become a very very leash reactive. I was really stressed about bringing my dog to class since I knew she would be barking and throwing tantrums if she couldn't get to the other dogs. Christina and her teaching assistants have been so sweet and gentle with my dog. They understand her behavior and help me deal with it. The staff is so sweet that the teaching assistants will walk you to your car if it's dark out and you're the last one out, just to make sure you're safe. Each week, we're given a very manageable amount of homework and Christina emails us the lecture notes so that we have it in writing as well. She is very quick to respond to emails. If you're looking for a class with gentle instructors and positive reinforcement, I definitely recommend J9's K9's! read more

Thank you so much for your kindness shown to our Tibetan rescue - who as you've said is an 'anxious type' and we have always had issues with him and other people and dogs when we're walking him. You quickly showed me and him how that didn't have to be as he quickly accepted you without any issues at all...And I am ordering what you've suggested that would help on walks. You are the best and I am so very grateful - Thank you so much! Wow, I'm still impressed. Donna Ward read more

Everyone loves golden retrievers. They're smart, gentle, friendly. And they will wander off with any random yahoo with a treat, will eat your couch if you don't pay enough attention to them, will yank your arm off on a walk if they see a squirrel and they develop random fears as they get older. After my last dog, I was done. No more goldens. No more wet nose poking at me all the time, no more getting dragged down the street, no more tufts of dog fur on everything I own. Until Noelle. What can I say? It was love. But I wasn't going to deal with another neurotic dog. I was going to do it right this time. I was going to call a dog trainer. And I did, I called a trainer, she met Noelle and promptly sent me to J9s K9s in Canoga Park. Within a year of this rambunctious puppy's life, she wasn't just calm and polite, she was a certified therapy dog. Fast forward 6 years: my girlfriend wants a lap dog. No, she NEEDS a lap dog. And it's gotta be a rescue. Meet George, a 9-month-old pup left to fend for herself (and her 4 puppies) in downtown Los Angeles. George was afraid of everything and trusted no one. George was smart, too smart. Could-disassemble-a-baby-gate smart. My girlfriend was in love. And I knew I was in trouble. We called Janine and got her into the first available class. When we first took our scared little girl to beginners obedience training at J9s K9s she hid under my girlfriend's chair and made it very clear that she wanted nothing to do with any of it. But a lot of love, patience (a LOT of patience) and 6 weeks changed everything for our little rescue. She's 5 years old now and starting her 15th agility class at J9s K9s. We still make the 20 mile trek from Valencia every Monday for one reason: George loves it. You'd think they're handing out cheeseburgers the way this dog lights up. She's one of the happiest, friendliest, most fearless little furballs you could hope to meet. If it weren't for Janine, George would probably still be hiding under my girlfriend's chair. read more

I got a german shepherd puppy and i understood that as the owner of such a big dog i should be responsible and take him to a training school. after reading reviews on yelp i decided to go to J9'S k9'S since they had the most 5 star reviews.i called Janine the owner and asked her what is the best routh for my dog, she suggested signing him up to the puppy training class. it turned out to be a big mistake, after the first class i understood that i am waisting my time and money. The class is located in a building on the second floor and to get to the class you need to go up a flight of about 20steps, bear in mid I have 30 lbs German shepherd puppy, I weigh about 110 lbs so it is kind of hard for me to carry him up the stairs and of coerce he still doesn't know how to go up or down the stairs. When you finally go up the stairs the class smells really bad and you are spouse to sit on the floor which is obviously filled with dog pee. The class starts and from the beginning you can tell that the trainer is not really professional. She couldn't control the puppies that she was trying to demonstrate on and in general she looked like an amateur. To top it all at the end of every class the trainer got all the dog to the middle of the room so they can play together, as soon as we let all the dogs go all of them jumped on my puppy and he got so scared that he went behind a chair and didn't want to go out, this happened over and over for at least 3 times and the trainer didn't know what to do so she just let him stay behind the chair. In one of the classes when I told her that I took my puppy to the dog park she gave me a lecture in front of everyone saying that I made a big mistake and that he can be traumatized by the dog park. (When we took him he had the time of his life, he was playing with all kind of dogs and didn't look scared even for a minute, unlike the training class incident). After the 4th class I decided to stop coming to the classes because my dog didn't learn anything important, he was board and it was a total waste of time for me. Bottom line I don't think this is the right place for smart puppies like German Shepherds that basically knows everything they are teaching in this class, it is just comes to them naturally. I just wish that the owner will tell me that before I wasted my time and money. read more

I went to Janine because I wanted some help getting some more focus out of my GSD for sports that we do. I had heard great things about her classes being very fun so I was exited to start. I have to say that my dog was an embarrassment most of the time and Janine was very accommodating helping to make us successful in class. Something about being in the classroom with all those dogs made my dog lose his mind but wit Janine's patient guidance, we made a lot of improvement. This last weekend we were out training on our own after taking Janine's Focused Heeling workshop series and I saw a huge difference in my dog's performance. I feel like all our practice of keeping him engaged with me, and me with him, really paid off. Janine is a fabulous trainer and runs a fun class. She encourages you to play with your dog and do frequent shorts training sessions at home. After really taking her advice to heart I have vastly improved the relationship I have with my dog. Training him has become more fun and less stressful. We do some crazy dog sports and they require a lot of attention to training but now we both enjoy it so much more. read more

Christina is amazing. She showed us how to be with our Jindo rescue puppies. Thank you Janine for sending her to us. I would recommend you to anyone. read more

I posted my review on the wrong location! Sorry Janine! So in the spirit of helpfulness for pet owners who aren't sure what to do with their training needs, I am reposting (to the correct location)! Janine & her trainers are top notch. I've recommended my clients to her because of her practical, intuitive, & reward-based methods. They all give her rave reviews & any training help she's shared with me has always been spot on! Not only have I benefited from Janine and J9sK9s as a colleague, but now I'm getting the full benefit of her expertise as a puppy owner. My own baby girl has loved every training class. We've attended Beginner, Intermediate and have completed our 3rd Advanced class. Excellent value and terrific motivation for us humans. I suspect I'll be attending classes for a long, long time...basically, it's the most fun I have on my Saturdays and I'm becoming better and better trained each week! read more

My dog, Fern, and I are on our third round of classes at J9's K9s. When we first started, I assumed we would just go to the beginner's level class for Fern and I to pick up some basics. But, Fern did so well, came to be so comfortable, and obviously enjoyed the classes so much that we came back for the intermediate level class and now are in the advanced level. The classes are well thought out and well organized. Janine is so knowledgeable and patient and is able to customize exercises to suit individual dogs' personalities. The trainers who assist her in each class are equally skilled and compassionate. I've had enough experience with other highly-regarded trainers and training philosophies to know that J9's K9s is extraordinary. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. read more

Janine (the business' owner and the "J9" in J9's K9s) is the best dog trainer you can find! She uses reward-based, non-violent training methods and is dedicated to setting you and your dog up for success. I've taken classes with several of the instructors, as well as with Janine herself, and all of them love their jobs and love your dog! Classes are a mix between teaching new techniques, practicing what you just learned with your dog while the instructor looks on and gives you feedback, and tons of fun games to practice what you've learned. (A favorite from the beginner classes was a version of musical chairs, but for the dogs, while practicing new "sit" and "down" commands.) There are basic obedience classes - beginner through advanced, as well as other classes like agility, where the dogs jump through tires, run through tunnels, and hop over jumps, and workshops to practice loose-leash walking, etc. My dog absolutely adores coming to class. She gets so excited when we pull up to the building because she knows exactly where we are! She also has learned super quickly using the tactics taught in class and is learning more with every class we take! read more

We were fortunate enough to have a neighbor recommend J9s K9s over 10 years ago when our dog was just a puppy. When we called to find out about the various programs Janine offered us an opportunity to come, without our dog, and view a class and see what it was all about. After sitting in on a puppy head-start class we signed up. We can't say enough good things about Janine and her staff. We really liked that we chose the group classes as we felt it was good for our dog to be in a place with other dogs. It helped to instill patience and how to deal with distractions. We not only did the puppy class, we did the intermediate classes and some of their specialized classes. Our dog is getting on in years and still to this day we get so many compliments on how well behaved he is. We owe a lot of our wonderful lifetime of memories with our dog to the training we all got a J9s K9s. I recommend Janine and her staff to anyone needing help training their dogs. read more

I took my pup to her puppy classes and they were AWESOME! I love Janine's positive approach and we learned so many things that have made training so much easier. Unfortunately, we missed the last two classes but even if you miss a class, you get a full handout that talks you through what Janine went over and also useful tutorials and videos! She is exceptionally organized and you can tell she cares deeply about each pup in her class, making herself available for any questions. We will be starting her beginner obedience classes next month and we're so excited to continue our learning! :) Thank you Janine and team for being so patient and making learning fun for both me and my pup! read more

She is highly knowledgeable, passionate, and generous, providing a safe indoor environment that is helping me and my dog grow in confidence and skill. Highly, highly recommended! read more
