We sent our 6mo old Bernese Mt. Dog to Jacqueline for training after too many costly vet incidents where she swallowed things not meant for consumption, chewed on everything in sight and bit my kids a little too hard for our liking. My other attempts at training this puppy failed and the dog was just not pleasant to be around and we were not really enjoying this addition to our family. I got Jacqueline on the phone and she spent a solid hour talking me through the process and answered all of my questions. She took the dog for the full three weeks and when we picked her up I could not believe the difference in obedience and personality. Jacqueline is an expert at her craft and the time and dedication she puts into each dog is incredible. You can tell how passionate and professional she is and I’m thankful we made the investment in proper training with her. Now my family and I can truly enjoy being around the dog and the pup is much happier too. 110% endorse working with Jacqueline because she is incredibly thorough and works to achieve the best outcome.
My experience with Jacqueline Zinetti has been absolutely amazing. I have a purebred Chihuahua (1 year old),initially we saw a different trainer who introduced her to the E collar and a prong collar, it went horrible. She was terrified of wearing anything collar harness leash you name it she was scared to death of it. She would shut down when approached with any sort of training tool or when asked to do basic commands. I purchased this dog with the intent on her hopefully being my service dog in the future, I thought all hope was lost, and that I ruined my relationship with my dog. I felt i had failed her, and couldn’t reverse the damage emotionally that was done to her by using someone who didn’t understand how to handle /work with small dogs. I had been calling around with no luck on finding the right fit for us as most people wont take you seriously with a dog under 10 pounds. Luckily we found Jackie, after seeing she has 2 little dogs of her own one being a full chihuahua I reached out to her for help to save my dog and our relationship. She absolutely saved my dog. She took her and treated her with the same care you would give your own fur baby. She has been understanding of our needs and gone above and beyond for us. I have a disability, and the way she took the time to break down each step to make it easier to understand my dogs body language and how to better communicate with her was beyond helpful. My dog came back better than ever! We now have a fantastic relationship where we can communicate in a way that’s helpful to both of us. She understands what is expected of her and we are able to be a true team. With Jackie’s help we are becoming better and better each day and on track to getting our canine good citizen certification. If you have a small or toy breed dog and your looking for training she is the absolute best!
If you are thinking about training your dog, you’ve come to the perfect place! Jacqueline is the best! She has made a world of difference with our 1 year old Aussiedoodle, Emilio. Emilio had never been trained, pulled his aggressively leash during our walks, barked constantly at other dogs in the street, did not know any commands, and had severe separation anxiety issues. It was impossible for us to leave Emilio alone because he would bark non-stop.
Like any dog parent, we were very concerned about leaving him for 3 weeks. We also did not know much about how e-collars worked. Jacqueline walked us through everything, explaining with detail what the training consisted of and what it would address. After our conversation with her, we were confident that Emilio would be safe and that this would be the best for him and for us. Another factor that weighed on our decision to choose Jacqueline as Emilio’s trainer was the fact that Emilio would be living with her and would socialize with her dogs.
Throughout the 3 weeks of training, Jacqueline kept us informed of Emilio’s progress. She was always available to respond to any questions or concerns we had. She sent us photos and videos of Emilio. We could tell Emilio was having fun with her. When we went to pick up Emilio, we were amazed with his transformation. Emilio was the same happy dog, but now he was well-behaved and responsive to commands. The e-collar is a great tool and has done wonders for Emilio. He is staying calm in his crate for the first time ever (he actually loves being there) and doesn’t pull on the leash anymore.
Jacqueline is the best at what she does because she not only trains the dogs, but also teaches you, the dog owner, to better communicate with your dog. After the three weeks, follow-up sessions are necessary for the learning process and extremely helpful. Jacqueline has taught us how to use the e-collar and takes time to review the videos we send her of our practice sessions with Emilio. She gives us step by step analysis of the video and guidance to correct our mistakes. Jacqueline’s passion for dogs, knowledge and professionalism, make her the best person to trust your dog with. We will strongly recommend Jacqueline to every dog owner we know.
John was great. My rescue shepherd was a tough cookie. When I picked him up from John I immediately saw a difference. John not only worked with him but corrected me on things I didn't realized I was doing wrong. He's on his way to doing what is asked of him with home lessons everyday. Thank you John and your staff
Jacqueline really made my relationship with my pup, Phoebe, so much safer and more enjoyable. Phoebe has a strong hunting instinct and was frequently running away to chase dear and rabbits and causing me much fear and anxiety. Off Leash K9 is not cheap, but like the saying goes, you get what you pay for! This is the HARVARD of dog training. I considered this an investment in my future with Phoebe, and most importantly, an investment in her safety and my peace of mind. Knowing that she will now stay by my side is so heart warming. I was worried she would come back a changed dog, hardened and colder, but not at all! She is still the same sweet cuddly girl I dropped off for board and train. I love her more now than ever! All thanks to Jaqueline!
