Jenny is such a gem! She is so kind and caring, and helped train us as much as our puppy. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of training!

Diana P.

I am so happy that I found Jenny on Yelp for my mini Australian Labradoodle, Obi. He started basic puppy training and is continuing puppy kindergarten and my oh my, Obi has grown up so much. Thanks to Jenny, my Obi went through his puppy phase a lot easier than expected. Along with all the socialization he is getting with other puppies his age, he is so well-behaved with other dogs and humans when we go on walks, out in public, and car rides. As a first time doodle owner, I learned so much from Jenny. Definitely look into her training if you're in the valley area, YOU WILL NOT REGRET! PS. She takes amazing pics of your fur babies during puppy school!

We needed someone to care for Sunny, our six month old Golden Retriever, while we went on a trip. More importantly, we hoped to find someone to help with training after many sessions with two other trainers as well as hours watching training videos and no significant improvement. Our breeder highly recommended Jenny (owner/operator of Wet Noses) for board and train and although we live 53 miles away, we decided to make the trek after a lengthy phone conversation with Jenny in which she patiently answered all of our questions. Sunny stayed with Jenny for three weeks and we visited a few times for training sessions so Jenny could teach us how to continue training at home. In addition, Jenny sent us photos and text updates along with many videos in which she was not only training OUR DOG but also added detailed voice overs to clarify what she was doing and why she was doing it. So Jenny trained Sunny and then trained us! Sunny has been home for five days and I'm still realizing more of the positive changes that have taken place thanks to Jenny. Sunny is no longer jumping on and mouthing/biting us nor counter surfing. He now follows many commands and is so much easier to manage during things like walks, ear cleaning, and family dinner time. We've always known Sunny was a sweet boy but my goodness is he more enjoyable after being with Jenny! Sunny has always been very timid around other dogs. We tried to provide many opportunities for socialization but Sunny would mostly cower and run away. After several days at Wet Paws, Sunny had the confidence to start playing with some of the other dogs. I suspect that his prior timidity with dogs was at least partially the reason he was constantly jumping on and mouthing/biting us; we were his only playmates! Yesterday I took Sunny to visit a friend's dog and they enjoyed hours of play; thus I had a puppy who was ready to nap once we returned home and I needed to make dinner. My husband, children, and I are truly in awe of Sunny's transformation. Jenny is clearly extremely knowledgeable but also exceptionally organized, communicative, and professional. She was so loving with Sunny and also very considerate of us all. Sunny is already booked for another stay with Jenny when we go out of town in the fall. We feel so fortunate to have found her!

Our highest praise and strongest recommendations for Jenny and her training expertise! We worked with her when our husky-shepherd Everest was 4 months old and then again a year later. The second time, Everest had growled at one of our children, which of course utterly terrified us. Jenny took us right back into the fold and, over the course of a few months, gave us the tools and understanding we needed to create a safer, happier home for all of us. Jenny is kind, fun, of course brilliant with dogs, and endlessly patient in translating them for humans and helping humans adapt to them. We were not first time dog owners but, as Jenny says, huskies and shepherds are college-level dogs, and we needed to level up our education to keep up with her. It was so worth it. I loved Everest very much, but it took Jenny to really introduce me to her. 10/10!

Jenny has been a huge help I'm not only training our dog Kilo but training us as dog parents. Kilo is a rescue that is 1.5 years old and a huge energy and prey driven dog. Jenny had the most patience helping us and helping kilo. She did not only stick to regular training but also asked us what we're things we wanted to work on that we're behaviors at home. She went over sit down stay and also things that were specific to his breed such as recall and place. She took the time and explained in a manner that we would understand. Jenny was referred to us by a family member and I truly would recommend her to any friend or family member for any breed. As she understands the different types of training and stages and always believes in setting them up for success!

Jenny at Wet Noses Dog training is THE BEST! Just ask our pup, Lulu. Our Chow Chow was about 10-11 weeks when we found Jenny and we sure are thankful. We started with puppy play school and private obedience training lessons. At play school she learned how to properly interact with other dogs her age and Jenny does an amazing job with exposing the dogs to outside sounds, textures, obstacles and everything in between that a growing dog needs to learn. Plus she sends the most adorable photos/videos to show what your dog did that day. This program is a MUST for any young dog. Obedience training just set our dog and us up for success. Jenny teaches the command to the dog and shows us as pet owners how to properly train and reward our dog! But it's not just cookie-cutter training. She would analyze our dog's behavior and come up with creative ways for our dog to best respond and always ways to make it fun! One session we even brought our older dog with us to work on behavior issues between the two dogs. She sent us thorough emails with any notes, helpful tips, and various tools/toy suggestions as needed. Our Lulu is now 1 year old and has amazingly grown into such a good girl. We have Jenny to thank for that. We'll be infrequently returning to Jenny for general follow-up sessions if any issues arise with our growing girl or just to refresh training from time to time. Highly recommend.

Great place to train your new pup! The puppy social classes are wonderful and have helped my dogs be so friendly with others. Her training is also great - helping to train people to understand their dogs and how to best train each together.

So grateful for Jenny! I enrolled Mabel in Puppy Kindergarten when she was 12 weeks old and since then, she's graduated and now attending Puppy Play School (photo below). The kindergarten program was extremely insightful in learning how to properly train and communicate with my pup from Day 1. A lot of what I thought were "naughty" behaviors were in turn necessary behaviors for growing puppies. Redirect, redirect, redirect! Jenny is patient, creative in her methods, and always available for questions post training. Mabel has grown so much (and confidently!) since the program and it's all thanks to Jenny~

I do not know where to begin. Last week was Boba's last Puppy Socialization and I have bittersweet feeling about it and here's why: Boba has grown to such an AMAZINGGG PUPPY all because of Jenny. She was VERY ATTENTIVE of him and his needs and made sure that he is SAFE, HAPPY, & HEALTHY. Now for us first time dog pawrents, that's all that matters. But Jenny went above and beyond. Jenny prepared different activities every week to help Boba and other puppies be exposed to different environments and senses. She also made sure that GAMES are very INTERACTIVE or MENTALLY STIMULATING. That helped our Boba a LOT to become a CONFIDENT PUP! After the class, Jenny provides feedback of Boba's PROGRESS and also took BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS of him. It feels so good watching Boba grow and getting to know more of his personality and behavior. And that's all because of Jenny! Boba was about 13 weeks old when we took him to Jenny. He was a tiny little corgi who was a little anxious. He is now 21 week old CONFIDENT & HAPPY PUPPY! I couldn't be more thankful for Jenny. On the other stuff that some dog pawrents were wondering! - The area is very WELL MAINTAINED and SECURED. We felt very AT EASE leaving Boba with her and the other pups! - We felt that Boba was SUPERVISED the entire time! - Jenny is a very KNOWLEDGEABLE trainer. She understands dog behaviors and she has given us advices on how to BETTER COMMUNICATE with our Boba I've attached a TON of photos to give you guys a visual story of Boba's amazing journey with Jenny! Boba is already missing Jenny and his friends at school but I'm very sure he's going to see more of Jenny in the near future. Thank you again, Jenny!!!

Jenny is the best! We trust her with our dog completely, and our little munchkin loves her! I highly recommend her for boarding as well as for training!

Jill S.

We just finished Puppy Kindergarten with Jenny and couldn't be happier with how far our Sophie (and we) have come! Jenny was so patient and kind with these two first-time puppy parents. She answered our questions clearly and focused our work on the most pressing issues. She is an excellent teacher. She would always model first and then have us practice the training techniques to make sure we understood. We looked forward to our sessions each week and our time together always flew by!! At the end of each session Jenny would follow up our in-person training with written directions. Her email would usually arrive before we even made it home! We highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking to learn how to a happy positive relationship with their pup!

We have had a wonderful experience with Jenny at Wet Noses.. Jenny provides great guidance and insight into basic puppy socialization and gave us key training tools during our puppy's formative weeks. We started with Puppy Kindergarten and progressed to basic obedience sessions with Jenny... We also had our pup in her weekly puppy play group, which gave our dog great socialization skills with other dogs. It has been a great experience for us and our dog. We have an amazing pet, and the tools and guidance which Jenny's programs provided are a key factor in her development.. A special bonus is that Jenny sends photos and videos of the pups during the play group sessions which is a fantastic bonus for us.

Jenny is an incredible trainer! We have a boxer dog who had a rough start in her life. Jenny met with us and immediately started helping us better understand our dog, while giving us practical tools and techniques to work with her. We saw a difference right away. From barking at strangers or friends at the door to becoming much more comfortable when friends came over, our dog has made amazing progress. One thing we really loved about Jenny is that she trained our dog at her house and then came to our home for a house visit. That combination made such a big difference because she was able to help us both in a training environment and in our dog's everyday surroundings. We highly recommend Jenny! read more

We adopted an 18 month old terrier and our vet recommended his personal Dog Trainer. We have now met with Jenny at Wet Noses five times and can say hands-down that she is an exceptionally skilled professional trainer and delightful human! She has an ideal set up with an indoor, air conditioned classroom for teaching people and their dogs, and a contained backyard to put everything into practice. We've learned so much more than we ever did with several past trainers, and have been very successful with our new pup. We recommend Jenny wholeheartedly. 11 out of 10! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Wet Noses Dog Training. Bringing our puppy to Jenny's training sessions developed his confidence and ability to listen (even when tempted to do otherwise), and taught him how to socialize with other dogs, giving him the basis for a more enjoyable, stress-free life. Not only does Jenny train her canine students beautifully, but she truly teaches the "why" behind her lessons to owners so they can understand concepts the way a dog does. When you understand how to make things clear on a dog's terms, it becomes intuitive and easy to reinforce your dog's learning on an ongoing basis. I would say that giving your puppy a solid foundation at Wet Noses Dog Training is absolutely the best investment you can make to provide him a safe and happy adult life. read more

Jenny is amazing! I truly wish I had her dog-whispering capabilities. She has such a magic touch with our girl, Zoe -- it was incredible to watch their connection. We learned so much in every session, and Jenny provided clear, thoughtful direction that made practicing at home easy and effective. Thanks to her, we feel so much more confident and connected as a family. And... puppy play school is the BEST thing ever. The pups get to learn and make friends and learn in a great environment. I would tell Zoe the night before every play school that she was going and if she wanted to see Miss Jenny and she would get so excited! I honestly don't know what we would've done without her! read more

Jenny is absolutely wonderful! From day one, I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving my puppy with her. She has such a calming presence, and you can tell she truly cares. I loved how she took extra time to send videos and pictures during training--it's so helpful to have those as reminders once your dog is home. She did an amazing job training and socializing our puppy, and I can't recommend her enough! read more

Jenny is a miracle worker! She was able to teach my huge 8 year old German Shepherd how to swim in just a few lessons.

I truly cannot say enough positive things about Jenny and her program. We have a 1y pup who has had at home training since we got her but felt she was still lacking a good foundation. We happened to meet a previous client of Jenny's who was the most well behaved dog so decided to give her a call regarding her board&train option as we did not live in the area (she does offer other services). Jenny spent over 45 minutes speaking with me during our initial phone consult and it was immediately clear how knowledgable and kind she was. Fast forward and we are so beyond pleased with the results. What makes Jenny extra special is that she will send you videos/photos of your dog during training session (it's like a dog training YouTube channel featuring your own dog!) versus explaining a whole week of training at pick up (with that said, she does that too!). It's a very effective learning technique for us owners so you can watch the process in real time and learn as your pup does. It's so easy to forget after an in-person session and with these videos you can refer to them as often as you need. As a side note I had a little mom guilt sending our pup to an away training program but as Jenny put it, "Don't worry, she'll love it here - it's like summer camp for dogs!" Could not have been more true...our dog had a blast. We love Jenny and would highly HIGHLY recommend her to everyone! read more

I discovered Jenny after spending hours looking for a trainer. When I had my consultation call with her I knew right away it would be a perfect match. She is so knowledgeable in all areas and answers all my questions. During our sessions she really tries to show me how to do everything and doesn't seem phased when I ask her to repeat herself or need more clarification. She's patient, friendly and overall an amazing trainer. My pup loves her so much. I've always rescued dogs so being able to start "from scratch" has been easy with Jenny helping me along the way. Poppy is 5 months and can sit, down, up, off, leave it, working on heal and will get to do fun tricks in the future. The amount of work she's put in shows. I am so thankful to have Wet Nose Dog Training in my pocket as I couldn't imagine my pup being trained any other way. Looking forward to her progress in a year from now! Oh and she takes the best photos! I always love when I leave poppy behind for a play date because I know I'll get a nice little photo shoot after. I can never have enough pics of my baby. read more

My puppies just love going to Jennys!!! I found Wet noses training when I was looking for a puppy socialization class for my frenchie puppy last year. Now that I got a second puppy, I made sure he also was enrolled in her puppy play school. They just have so much fun and she sends so many cute pictures of their playtime with all the puppies! I've also done her puppy kindergarten training and overnight boarding. She has a lovely backyard and I know I can just trust her with my puppies who are my world. She is extremely knowledgeable in what she does, highly recommend if I can give her 100 stars I would! It's hard to find people who you can leave your dogs with out there. read more

5 stars for Wet Noses! Jenny is a wonderful trainer and person! Easy to work with and simplifies training. We started working with Jenny after we adopted our golden retriever puppy. He is my first dog ever and I we wanted to give him the best foundation possible. I interviewed 4 trainers and Jenny was the perfect fit for our family. We did the Puppy Kindergarten class and the Puppy Socialization class. Jenny breaks down each class into (2) topics. Many "aha" moments were had! Our puppy is grounded and well mannered. We will continue with obedience training. A huge benefit is that Jenny also boards so when we are traveling our dog will feel at home. Reasonably priced and very accommodating we highly recommend Wet Noses! read more

Jenny went above and beyond for my 9 month old lab! Let me just say that the results were way beyond what I imagined and completely worth the money, I would do it again 10 out of 10. The most incredible part of the entire experience were recordings of the training sessions, I can go back and watch the videos again and again so it is literally the gift that keeps on giving. Now that I know how to copy the training Jenny gave while I am at home, my pup can keep practicing and I keep getting consistent amazing results! I highly recommend! Another great thing about Jenny is that she took my dog's specific quirks, breed, characteristics, and struggles in mind. It never felt like cookie-cutter training or that I was just a number/client to her. She took the time to be specific with him and genuinely cared about him! Couldn't be happier! read more

Jenny was a godsend for us and our dog, Champ! We adopted Champ!, a Labrador mix, at 8 months, from the shelter, NKLA. He had been returned twice due to his high energy levels!! We knew very little about adopting a dog, however we knew we needed to get into puppy training classes. We tried a couple of different trainers and none of them even came close to the wealth of knowledge and expertise that Jenny embodies. She is an expert listener and always had just the right solution for our next step with Champ! We quickly and easily made progress each week and knew exactly how to practice at home with Champ! Not only is Jenny an expert in the field of dog training, she is an expert communicator. She helped us get on the same page in how we communicate and work with Champ! This was really helpful in bringing down everyone's stress level and allowed us to enjoy more fun, relaxed time with the new addition to our family, Champ!! We highly recommend Jenny to work with you and your dog!! read more

If I could give Jenny 10 stars I would! I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Wet Noses Dog Training was SO outstanding, I had to share this gem with others. Our two year old Golden Retriever stayed for 12 days of boarding and training. I received several daily videos of his training sessions on top of which Jenny added clear voice over commentary explaining exactly what she was doing. As if these fantastic and instructive training videos weren't enough, Jenny also sent footage of their field trips and my four-pawed social butterfly's gleeful play sessions with other lovely dogs and puppies. I feel like I've hit the dog trainer jackpot in Jenny and recommend her highly!!! read more

Highly recommend Wet Noses! Although it's a little further in the Valley, I think it's 100% worth the drive out. Jenny is an incredible trainer. She taught my partner and I so much about dog behavior and training our puppy. When we had questions come up, she was so responsive to email/text. We absolutely LOVE puppy play school as well. Not only do we get literally the best pictures ever, but also we get a very happy and enriched (tired) puppy afterwards. My heart is so full when we see her go to puppy play school. Highly recommend both training and play school! We don't want play school to end :) read more

If you're looking for a dog trainer, LOOK NO FURTHER! The next best thing to our puppy is Jenny. Jenny was available by text and phone weeks before we got our puppy. She answered our questions and soothed our fears and gave us a shopping list to prepare for Lucy's arrival. The day after we got Lucy, we started Puppy Kindergarten, which consisted of 5 basic lessons that helped us in the first few weeks. She emailed a summary of what we learned after each lesson. During puppy kindergarten, Jenny stressed the importance of socialization. We dropped her off once a week at Jenny's puppy play school where she had 4 hours of fun with dogs of all breeds. Lucy came home happy and tired every time! And more importantly, she loves to play without fear! Now that Lucy has graduated from kindergarten, we are doing regular obedience training once a week and Lucy also goes to an older puppy play group for experienced puppies. Bonus: Jenny sends videos and photos of Lucy that we really enjoy! Jenny's lessons are easy to understand and Lucy absolutely loves to be at her house, playing and learning. Jenny makes the most of each hour, making sure we understand the basics of sit, down, heel and much more. I don't know what we would do without Jenny!! read more

We love Wet Noses Dog Training! Thank you, Jenny, for working so hard to provide dog owners with the skills and confidence needed to raise happy pups. We are still early in our journey with our 4-month-old puppy, but I am so glad we have Jenny to help us navigate this adventure! Her puppy kindergarten classes helped us immensely, and I appreciated how she was able to teach new skills to our kids as well as the adults. We are all much more confident in handling our mouthy, energetic young dog thanks to Jenny's instruction. Also, our puppy LOVES going to puppy play dates to socialize with other dogs her age... It's always the highlight of her week! Can't say enough how much we value and appreciate Wet Noses. read more

I ended up starting off with her puppy kindergarten and now I'm going to put him through obedience training! The lessons are great and very interactive.

My sweet pup had been going to Jenny's since I adopted him two months ago. When I got him he was a mess. His old owners kept him in crate all the time and the one command they taught him was how to "talk" aka bark a TON! When I got him he was very shy, under socialized, insecure, and super barky! After five private sessions and endless socialization play dates, he is a completely different dog! He loves people and other dogs. He no longer barks for attention and knows basic commands. He has also boarded with Jenny several times and he loves it! He's normally a mommy's boy but he does love spending time with Jenny. The best part about play dates or boarding is the pictures she sends (attached). Overall so happy I found Jenny! read more

My wife and I have a German shepherd who was super wild and out of control. We did a 10-session private obedience program with Wet Noses (Jenny) and WOW, Juno is like a different dog now. Totaly transformed. Jenny showed us how to harness and redirect her energy into better manners and Juno actually loves to train now. She gave us homework to do between our sessions for us to practice and at each session Jenny would show us how to do a particular thing with Juno, and then have us try it while we were there to make sure we could do it at home to. We went to the park this week and even though Juno was running around and having a great time, she actually came when we called her which NEVER happened before lol. I can't believe the difference in our dog, it was night and day. So impressed with the results. read more

Jenny's Puppy Kindergarten program is the best decision I made when I got my puppy Gypsy Rose. It is a safe and healthy place which is so important. Jenny is amazing and intuitively understands each dogs needs. We are now also enrolled in the obedience program. I am learning as much as Gypsy is. We get emails with notes on our session which is super helpful for my sessions at home. I appreciate that Jenny uses positive training techniques and I can see how much Gypsy loves it and is thriving. I receive daily check-ins along with pictures, Its super fun for both of us. Watching my girl grow into a wonderful well behaved and happy dog means everything to me. I have had many dogs and used many trainers and used training techniques. I can honestly say Jenny is the best. I totally trust her. I promise Jenny is the real deal. High five from me and 4 paws up from Gypsy Rose ! read more

This review is LOOOONNNGGGGG overdue. I had gotten a Shiba Inu puppy 3 years ago that had to be…read morehospitalized due to Parvo the next day. Then, once he recovered from that, had a fever that almost killed him and had to be hospitalized again. We had to keep him quarantined for a while and away from my other dog (a 7 year old Pomeranian at the time) and get all his vaccinations from the beginning. He was scared of literally every single noise and had anxiety about just about everything. Over time, he developed extreme food aggression and we were worried for the safety of my little Pom. He had been attacked a few times to the point of actual injury and it was extremely stressful for everyone. I was at my wits end and I felt like I had tried everything to help Gunnar (my Shiba) and protect Simba (my Pom). I did a lot of research and stumbled upon Jenina and sent her a message for private sessions where she would come to my apartment once a week. I believe I only used her for a little over a month but I am eternally grateful. The level of aggression Gunnar displayed was so dangerous that my roommate and I actually have been bitten with blood trying to protect Simba from harm where food is involved. The issue was that he wasn't aggressive with all foods and we were unaware the extent until it was too late (ex. we thought it was only wet food so we were giving a chew stick to them separately where I would have Simba sitting next to me on the couch and Gunnar would be on the floor away from Simba with my roommate and the switch was so sudden----from sweet to seemingly no warning lunging at Simba----I stuck my leg out to protect Simba and he bit my leg instead). I feel like at this point, a regular human being would give Gunnar up, but that wasn't an option. It wasn't an option when he came to me dying from Parvo, it wasn't an option when he had an almost fatal fever, and it wasn't going to be an option for me now. I was determined to find a way to help him because he is my baby and my responsibility. The vet suggested I contact a behavioral specialist and when I did, VCA told me the earliest appointment they had was months later. Fed up with waiting, I found Jenina. In a month's time, she had given me the tools to fix a seemingly impossible situation. Make no mistake---she made me work for it. She might come across brash to some people but she is very direct and straight to the point. She doesn't coddle you and makes sure she lets you know what you need to do because while the session is for dogs, it is actually more like training the parent. She gives you "homework" and training info and is only willing to help you if YOU do the work. Now, it wasn't a complete fix. He still has anxiety outdoors or unknown noises as well as food aggression but it is nowhere near what he used to be. Before Jenina, Gunnar couldn't even take a step outside the apartment building let alone go for a walk. Three years later, Simba has sadly since passed but he has a little brother that he is extremely patient with as he acts like a typical annoying little brother), his food aggression has gone down from 100 to 30, and we go out to all sorts of places. He is THRIVING and this is all thanks to Jenina. My roommate and I are on high alert and know what to look for in terms of triggers and are very quick to de-escalate aggression situations. We try our best not to avoid known triggers and we work with him every day to allow him to be his best self. He is the sweetest boy and we are so glad he's been able to show it instead of being overshadowed by aggression and anxiety. She also gave Gunnar his nickname---Gunny! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am so sorry it took this long to leave this review but thank you so much for saving us. If we had listened to the VCA behavioral specialist that basically called Gunnar a monster and suggested we give him up, he probably would have been euthanized somewhere. We owe you so much.

Ollie is the sweetest boy, however is very reactive to other dogs and is a bundle of energy that presents as endless jumping and nipping. We have a senior Saint Bernard at home in which Ollie has been too rough/aggressive with her, even when our Saint Bernard makes it known that she doesn't want to be bothered. We tried water sprays at home and other attempts at training to no avail. We began to feel helpless as our biggest concern was his relationship with our Saint Bernard, as it got to the point where we felt we had to consider rehoming him. During our session with Brad, we immediately saw results which had us dumbfounded. Like other reviews have mentioned, his technique is not "mean," but is a firm mindset that Ollie requires. All the while, Brad emphasizes when to correct your dog and when to praise him, while stressing the fact that these techniques are not made to scare your dog, but rather establish a leader mentality while simultaneously letting the dog know that you provide love and safety. Of course, like any training, one can only be successful when carrying over these learned techniques at home, but Brad left us feeling confident and ready to continue the work. Even when we got home today, we already had seen a shift from Ollie. As for Brad himself - he is very approachable and really looks to understand both the dog and all the circumstances that come with them. You could really get a sense of how personal he is. We definitely recommend him. Thank you so much, Brad!

Three days ago, I was within feet of getting shot by a gun right outside of my business! I strongly considered a German Shepherd since they're also intelligent, loyal and can provide protection/barriers for those suffering from PTSD like myself. I've been suffering a lot with my clinical depression and anxiety for years, all the while, I'm a small business owner. Csilla replied to me and automatically denied my application for considering rehoming, and for "testing" if they don't make the cut. Rehoming is NOT an easy decision, I've been crying over the thought, I love my dog! I love my dog so much that I was only reaching out to close friends who my dog also loves, so I can still see here. My immediate family does not want a second dog in our household, so this was the only loving and responsible decision that I can come up with. It's neither fair for a dog that exhibits fear, stress, and anxiety to be forced into a job that only exacerbates their behavior. My mental and physical health are just as important as my dogs. This is the purpose of rehoming, I never once said that I would surrender her to a shelter or just simply disown her. Below is her response; ..."Unfortunately we're not able to approve your application. There is no guarantee that any of our dogs will work out as a service animal, and the fact that you would rehome her if that was the case, makes this an automatic decline for our rescue. It's very sad to hear that you are thinking about rehoming a dog that has been with you for 5 years. There are countless dogs in animal shelters dying every day because people consider them disposable. Your dog will be heartbroken if she has to lose her family. Her stress and anxiety will get even worse, which means many people will pass on her at the shelter and she will most likely be euthanized because of the overcrowding problem in the shelter system. We hope you will not let that happen and leave her behind to be killed. There is no reason why she can't stay with you as just a regular pet and part of the family, while you get a 2nd dog that has been proven to be a qualified service dog. It's not fair to the dogs for you to keep "testing" and rehoming them if they don't make the cut. Please work with one of the many organizations that specialize in placing service dogs. Any dog returned to a shelter (not rescue) has a much higher chance at being euthanized sooner than the ones who haven't been adopted and returned yet. Thank you, Csilla Westside German Shepherd Rescue of Los Angeles" Absolutely disgusting response; full of guilt, shame, and judgement! I will NEVER contact them again! I will leave their response on here for potential clients to read for themselves. FWIW, I decided to continue working with my dog, despite the $6k training costs! My mom also couldn't let that happen and told me that if it came down to it, she would keep her.

Despite this, Gili quickly revealed herself to be a joyful, funny, and incredibly intelligent dog who was easy to train. However, there were a few serious behavioral issues that I could not resolve, no matter how hard I tried. About two weeks after coming into my home, Gili began to feel secure with me and in her environment. Unfortunately, that security turned into extreme protectiveness of herself, the house, and especially of me. She became reactive to unfamiliar people to the point that no one could enter our home or even come near me unless I medicated her or confined her to a bedroom to prevent incidents. I hired different trainers who were kind and well-intentioned, but their methods and advice were ineffective for the specific issues we were facing. Then into our lives came Carrie, the owner of the local Bark Busters franchise. I do not believe I have enough words to describe how positive and effective our experience with Carrie has been. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about canine psychology and the development of behavioral issues, and most importantly, she has an incredible ability to identify the root cause of each specific problem with precision. In a caring, non violent yet effective way Carrie focuses not only on the dog, but also on how we, as humans, can unintentionally exacerbate issues while trying to compensate for our dog's difficult past. She teaches people how to gently, confidently, and correctly address unwanted behaviors through proper posture, attitude, and consistency. What I love most about Carrie is her upbeat, joyful, and generous nature. You never feel rushed or inadequate; questions and input are welcomed and encouraged, no matter how long it takes. Carrie made it clear that she is committed to being there for both Gili and I for as long as it takes to create real, lasting change. She patiently and thoroughly addressed each issue in a way that was easy to understand, carefully explaining not just what to do, but why. I truly felt that she cared deeply about my understanding the methods, the sequence of exercises, and the reasoning behind them. Although I have shared my adult life with five different dogs, this experience taught me something entirely new: my posture, energy, and state of mind during training are just as important as the commands themselves. I am incredibly grateful to have finally found a trainer who is not only a skilled behavioral therapist but also a master trainer--an essential combination, especially when working with a dog who was not raised from a young puppy and comes with a difficult history. In Gili's case, that history left lasting emotional scars that affected how she interacts with the world. Not only did Carrie spend several hours working with us, but a few days later she followed up with a detailed and thoughtfully prepared email covering everything we had discussed. It included educational videos to further clarify the instructions, links to recommended toys and helpful equipment, a clear overview of the exercises Gili and I should practice, and much more. It was evident that Carrie spent many hours compiling this instructional guide, and it has already proven to be an invaluable resource for us. Even though it has been less than a week since Carrie trained both of us, I am already seeing meaningful improvement in Gili's behavior. More importantly, I now feel confident that I have the tools to help Gili reach her full potential and become the best version of herself, a happy, loving, and confident little lady who was always there beneath the hardships she endured before coming into my life. I am also reassured knowing that as time goes on, Carrie will be there for us whenever we need reinforcement of learned skills or guidance with any new challenges that may arise.

Where do we even start? Our dog, Cooper, was adopted from a shelter after being surrendered twice…read more We quickly learned that he struggled with severe separation anxiety and couldn't be left alone. We became prisoners in our own home. We either had to take him everywhere with us or have one of us stay behind. It became a huge burden, and we found ourselves scheduling our entire lives around our dog. We decided to work with Dawit, and little by little, things started to improve. When we got Cooper back from training, he was like a completely different dog. He no longer pulled on the leash, was not reactive when he saw other dogs, his recall was amazing, and many of our typical worries disappeared. However, the separation anxiety still persisted. This is where Dawit truly deserves recognition. He never gave up on us or on Cooper. Our training journey probably lasted longer than most because of how severe Cooper's anxiety was, but Dawit went far beyond the typical follow-ups. Over the course of several months, the training sessions, check-ins, texts/videos, communication, and home visits finally paid off. There were times when I genuinely thought we'd never be able to return to a normal life, but our consistency combined with Dawit's continued support and new techniques made all the difference. Cooper can now stay home alone in his crate without issues. That being said, training only works if you put in the effort. We followed through with everything Dawit recommended, even when it was difficult or when we didn't see immediate results. It's easy to fall back into old habits or give up when progress feels slow, but perseverance truly pays off. Side note: Dawit is just an all-around great person who genuinely cares about what he does. Our dog absolutely adores him. We also love the boarding services he offers -- especially because Cooper comes home exercised and happy. Another huge plus is that Cooper is now off-leash certified, and we fully trust him to make good decisions. Yes, it can be costly, but it's an investment and honestly, I don't know another dog as well‑behaved as ours. I'm incredibly proud of the work it took to get here.

The amount of change that Dawit was able to do for my dog is a crazy amount. I'm not sure I'd be…read moreable to handle my dog without his help! My very alpha dog needed a lot of training and Dawit turned him into a more calm alpha dog who knows his place at home and in public. I'm so very thankful and cannot be more happy with how much of a good boy my dog is. As a first time dog carer, I've learned so much from Dawit and would definitely recommend his training to anyone.

She gave my family the tools we'd been missing, and even though the price is a bit steep, it's absolutely worth it. We're still a work in progress, but I can honestly say my dog feels like a new dog. Thank you, Raquel! I wish we could keep you on speed dial forever

I'm a first time dog parent. I adopted Bodhi, my 7 month old American PItbull and realized very…read morequickly that I needed help. It was already so stressful rearranging my life around his needs and training but also managing work and trying to keep up with my own. It felt so stressful to try to walk him because he wouldn't listen to me and pull to meet other people/dog's. I would walk him for 2 hours and he still wouldn't be tired when we got home. As a rescue, he naturally has so much separation anxiety. So we've been tethered together and this wasn't sustainable or healthy for both of us. I think many dog parents would understand the guilt, frustration, embarrassment of not knowing fully how to work through these hard moments. I found Racquel through yelp after a lot of research. I could've signed up for training that was weeks and weeks long but I needed help...ASAP. It sounds crazy to say that in a few hours she can rewire both you and your dog..but we are proof that it's possible! I also love that her holistic approach is backed by really practical, tangible tools. I learned about practical tools, psychology of dogs as well as how I'm contributing to his reactions and behaviors. I walked way from our session and the next day was already implementing the skills/knowledge I was given. I can't thank you enough Racquel, for helping us and continuing to support us and strengthening our bond.

Unfortunately, this place was a HUGE disappointment and had a huge negative impact on our pup. Long story short -- Everything here is a sales grab. The few girls care for the animals but the "managers" and men there are just there for the commission of your packages. I had a whole conversation about their unethical sales pitching with the employee while picking up my dog lol. It's "how they keep the place open" - the employee's words, not mine. Astounding. Said employee also asked what I did for a living because I questioned their sales pitch tactics -- I'm in sales. Also, If you need their VIP services for your unspayed or neutered pup, please spend your money elsewhere!! Before committing to a membership, we did a trial day and spent hundreds on drop in days, grooming, and overnight boarding to see if it was a good fit for our high energy pup. Our dog is not neutered and we don't plan on getting him neutered so we chose their VIP rooms. His breed is also extremely high energy and they promised they could accommodate. I also inquired about training multiple times and they kept saying the trainer would contact me. Everything went great after those few visits, they seemed caring and said he was a great fit for a membership so we end up signing up. Then everything went downhill. Upon the first day of the membership, our dog all of a sudden had behavior issues and needed to be picked up. In the middle of my work day I call the shift manager, and he states that if we want our dog to stay, he needs training ... (from their same trainer that I've inquired 3x about before committing to a membership, still haven't heard back). I asked why this wasn't communicated ever before committing to a membership and they didn't have an answer. I informed them that I would've paid for training before committing to a membership if they would've let me know that there were any issues. Our dog went a couple of more times until they could finally get me in touch with the trainer, 6 visits later. Actually I had lost complete trust at this facility. To add insult to injury, I was able to speak to one of their actual workers that is with the dogs and she let me know that our dog is only let out for about 10 minutes at a time, maybe 3 to 4 times a day during a 12 hour stay. This is their VIP option. So not only is he left in a room for about 12 hours a day, with dogs barking all around him, he's not being stimulated nor played with just being let out to go to the bathroom. Contradicting everything they say that they offer. Their "trainer" is also a joke. He is supposed to be from the Marines and well-versed in the breed of dog that we have. Upon washing him for 5 minutes, as I was told, he said that our dog needed to be neutered before he could be trained because of his energy. Our dog is a Malinois and is not supposed to be neutered before 2 years of age. We've since went elsewhere to get our dog trained from someone who is actually educated on his breed and he's worked on all of his anxiety and reactivity issues that our pup got because of this place.

I highly recommend Wet Noses Dog Training! Jenny knows her stuff and is downright magical with dogs. She worked with two of mine, but I should clarify and say that she worked with ME so I could better work with my dogs. I saw results with every session and I must say that I am much better trained than I was. She makes everything very clear and I saw that she had a completely different technique with each of my dogs she worked with. One was reactive and one jumped on people and pulled on the leash. She explained the way a dog's brain works and what we tend to do to make it worse rather than to communicate our intentions to our dogs. My dogs are a lot more secure now, knowing they are doing what is expected rather than just getting scolded without understanding why. Jenny always finds time and is lovely to work with and she loves and understands dogs and handles them with skill and kindness. She was recommended to me by a friend who is also seeing great results and my brother also went to her after hearing about the sessions with my dogs. I can see why she is in such demand. read more

I've been taking my Sheepadoodle, Bruno, to Wet Noses Dog Training, and I'm beyond impressed! Jenny, the heart and soul of this place, is not just a trainer; she's a dog whisperer with a smile that lights up the room. Her friendly approach makes every class enjoyable, not just for Bruno but for me too! The facility? Immaculate! It's clear Jenny goes the extra mile to ensure everything is clean and tidy, making it a safe haven for our furry friends. But what truly sets Jenny apart is her exceptional communication. She keeps us updated on Bruno's progress, offering insights and tips that are incredibly helpful. It's like she knows exactly what we're thinking and addresses it proactively. If you're looking for a place where your pup is not just trained but also loved and cared for, Wet Noses Dog Training is the spot. Big thanks to Jenny for making Bruno's training and boarding experience nothing short of fantastic. We'll definitely be back! read more

Jenny is the absolute best! She is so kind, calm and knowledgeable. We completed "Puppy Kindergarten" last week and don't know if we would have survived the past several weeks with our rambunctious and loveable rescue puppy Jamie without Jenny's help. It was worth every penny to train Jamie and more importantly, us! At 15 weeks he is perfectly crate trained and well on his way to being housebroken. Jenny taught us how to safely socialize Jamie during the critical window when Jamie was not fully vaccinated. We will continue bringing him to Jenny's puppy play group as long as long as she will allow us to go. We also plan to continue with more advanced training. I absolutely recommend Jenny to anyone and have been singing her praises to everyone I know. Added bonus- Jenny is a gifted animal photographer and we have the most incredible photos and videos of Jamie from puppy play group! read more

Jenny at Wet Noses Dog Training is amazing! She is extremely responsive, always quick to respond to my emails and texts. Her prices are also reasonable for the quality of training you receive. I just completed Puppy Kindergarten for my Golden Retriever puppy and couldn't be happier with the results. My puppy was potty trained and crate trained within days of my first meeting with Jenny, something that felt impossible based on my puppy's initial behavior. I loved that the training sessions always felt fairly customized and conversational. I definitely plan to purchase another training package to continue training my puppy through her. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and passionate trainer, I highly recommend Wet Noses Dog Training! read more

Jenny is incredible! We've been doing private one hour sessions and completed a two-week board and train. Best decision ever! Jenny really listens to us and our concerns and has a really great way of explaining why dogs react certain ways. Our very energetic and excitable Boxer puppy, who was once removed from a group puppy obedience class and asked not to return to a daycare/boarding location, is now responding to commands and walking nicely on a loose leash. We are so thankful for finding Jenny at Wet Noses! read more

We have 2 dogs and have used more than a few trainers, none of which even come close to how amazing Jenny is!! She is kind, clear, and a highly intelligent trainer who turned our dog into a well trained puppy. She also provides well edited videos of her actual training so that we could learn what she does and how she does it, making it so much easier to ensure we continued the training at home. I simply cannot recommend her enough. She is also a delightful person which make it all the more enjoyable. read more
