Unfortunatly the transition was not easy. With Marina's training she now walks on a leash, sits, stays, and all the expected tricks a 3 year old should be able to do. We are currently working on making her more confident and less agressive. She has made great improvements. What makes Marina so special is that she never hesitates to reach out to her community of other experts for advice. We feel as if we have a whole team working with us. She is a great listener and has excellent communication skills. We have learned so much.

We wanted Chili to be an indoor dog so we wanted to get her trained. We never thought we would be able to train her but Felicia assured us that with practice we could do it. Our biggest thing was to get Chili to stop getting on the couches without being invited. She has mastered the command off and also sit and stay when being served her food. We have also taken what we have in her classes and have used it with our two outdoor dogs Frida and Diego. To our family Felicia is more than our dog trainer she is a friend that has become a big part of our family as she also trains my sister and sister in law's dogs. We are going to miss her so much. Eureka you are gaining in my mind the best dog trainer ever please treat her right and take advantage of her gift. Felicia girl you got this!!!! Edgar, Jessica, Isabella, RJ, Frida, Diego and Chili!

We first met Felicia at PetSmart in Compton with our baby Diva. She helped us get Diva out of her shy scared state of mind to be the real Diva she is and helped us train her from a basic sit, down, loose leash walk. She also helped us break Divas separation anxiety with a sit stay while we walked away to another room. And recently has been helping us with our 6 month old gentle giant Lazarus our Great Dane. Our huge puppy definitely needed Felicia in his life in just 4classes we had such great progress he's a jumper but with her help she has showed us how to build a boundary at the bottom of our steps to help us go up and down our stairs with out him jumping on us.

We started working with Gueseppe in December of 2025 after our almost 2 year old Aussie, Jett had…read moreseveral instances of almost backing out of her harness and into traffic while walking downtown. She was also very uneasy during all of her walks and endlessly scanned her entire surroundings. It was physically and emotionally exhausting for all of us. The phone consultation was fantastic. Gueseppe asked us a series of questions about her training to date, what we thought was causing her to be nervous and what we wanted to get out of training. We want to be able to travel with her and ensure her safety, was our ultimate goal. We enrolled in the 2-month package with Jett. She was reluctant to enter the building and Gueseppe got to see first hand what a mini Jett panic attack looked like. Our first session was focused on motivation, conditioning and rewarding the behavior we expected her to do. Training with a slip collar made a huge & positive difference in making sure our communication was clear up and down the leash. We used the agility equipment to help her overcome fears of walking on different surfaces. Each week, we got homework to build on the previous learnings and started to see how putting her into obedience brought Jett comfort. We started to see a new spring in her step. By the third session we had already started to see her make breakthroughs in confidence, clarity and calmness when arriving to school. This was when we started working with Tiffany, who was wonderful. She spent a lot of time training me on how to be clear in my communication without bending down and becoming tangled up in the leash. The training of the human gave me so much insight into how I was inadvertently reinforcing the feeling of panic for Jett and I've learned how to dial it way back. I could see and feel Jett's emotional growth. I think she also could feel me getting more relaxed. The major growth day was the day we did a walk downtown with her and Tiffany walked with us as coach. We literally faced every situation that had caused Jett and I to panic in the past. When we got back to the school, we were all so proud of Jett. At our last class, Gueseppe joined us and Jett was happy to show him everything she had learned. Jett has graduated now and we are continuing our work with pack walks, alumni training days and taking her out into situations that we would normally have shied away from. The bonding we've experienced with Jett has been an incredible gift. She used to drool (she gets carsick) at the idea of getting into the car. She now gets excited and puts her paws up so she can be lifted in. Long story short. This training was the best money we have ever spent on any dog training course. We have a small and mighty toolbox to ensure that we are successful in all situations. We have a stronger bond with our pup and our older Aussie is enjoying going on walks with her now. My confidence is much stronger and the gratitude we feel for Companion Canine coming to Jacksonville, OR is immerse.

I made arrangements with Jaymeey as a cat sitter for two 15 minute visits over the weekend while I…read moreleft town to take care of some legal paperwork. Everything in the initial consultation seemed trustworthy: contracts, etc. A close friend checked up on our house before we returned from our trip and informed us that Jaymeey was in the house for much longer than 15 minutes, doing laundry and relaxing with a man she invited into our home without our consent(something we were told would NOT happen in the agreed contract). Our friend also informed us that Jaymeey and this man made a huge mess and empty food containers and clothes were all over the living room. A travel bathroom kit was also left behind. All of these findings lead us to believe that Jaymeey stayed the night and used our belongings without our permission, and also let the man stay here and do the same without our permission. As we unpacked from the trip, my fiancé noticed that several pieces of family heirloom jewelry had been stolen from our bedroom (in addition to various other rings, pieces of jewelry, gold dollar coins, and crystals). These are heirloom pieces that are not simply misplaced or forgotten. Lastly, our internet had been disconnected because Jaymeey, or the man she let into our house pirated a movie resulting in our account being flagged.
