— Al A.
“I took one of Jenny’s online group classes and it was wonderful! She is so kind and compassionate towards her human learners, not just the dogs, and so encouraging. Will absolutely look for more of her classes to take in the future! ”
— Katie H.
“Like many, we got our first puppy weeks into the pandemic, and struggled as first-time dog parents, so I’m so glad when we finally found Jenny. While we originally hired Jenny to work on some “basics,” her teachings sparked a more communicative and joyful relationship with our fearful and anxious dog, and we can’t thank her enough for that. Jenny’s compassionate, science-based teachings have been an eye-opening experience, and allows us and our dog to feel more and more confident in our day-to-day. On top of that, her advocacy for the humane treatment and well-being of dogs is inspirational, and is an example in the industry. I highly recommend working with Jenny! ”
— Jolie C.
“Jenny saved our dogs life. Period. Our dog has severe anxiety and reactivity and Jenny provided us with the tools and education needed to advocate for our dog’s well being, start medication, and apply a humane, science base training plan. Thank you, Jenny! ”
— Max W.
“I cannot say enough good things about Jenny. Her compassionate and force-free methods of dog training have completely opened up my eyes and transformed my relationship with my fearful dog. I am so thankful that I found Jenny after a negative experience with a popular training facility in Boston that left both me and my dog scarred. I am so grateful for the tools I’ve learned from my sessions with Jenny and my sweet pup is as happy and fulfilled as ever.”
— Lauren M.
“Jenny is an excellent trainer who creates an engaging and safe learning environment for human and canine learners alike. She does a phenomenal job of breaking down complex behavioral concepts and helping to set achievable and actionable goals”
— Elizabeth K.
“Jenny is an amazing trainer who uses science-based training methods, leads with compassion and prioritizes the overall well-being of the dogs she works with. She helped me and my 14-year-old Aussie mix so much by educating us on pain and age-related behavior changes, anxiety, and guiding us through cooperative care techniques. My dog now lives a happier, pain-free life and I’m able to give her stress-free injections using the tools Jenny taught us. She is also kind, patient, and pleasant to work with - she will likely challenge your previously held views on some things, but in the most compassionate way that assures you that her goal is helping your dog live their best life. Thank you Jenny!!!”
— Emily D.
“Jenny has been an integral piece of learning how to live harmoniously with my anxious dog and with compassion & kindness over the last three years. Her class “Empower Your Dog” is a valuable resource to new and experienced dog owners alike. She is an incredibly gracious and accommodating teacher who flexes to your learning style and provides an abundance of both verbal and visual resources to continue your learning after your class or consult. Any dog would be lucky to have Jenny on their team.”
— Kristen C
“First time dog owner and we started with a cattle dog, ha! So when I say we are grateful for Jenny’s knowledge, expertise, and approach, I really really mean it. We have learned so much and it’s been so relieving to have such good care on our journey! We highly recommend Jenny!”
— Angi T.
“Jenny is amazing! She gave me so many helpful suggestions about my 8-month-old Westie, who was driving me crazy before I met with her. I had never had a dog before and was at a total loss, especially because so much advice on the Internet when it comes to training is not helpful. Now after implementing Jenny’s suggestions he is so much calmer, happier, more affectionate and better behaved. Jenny also answered every question I had (I had a lot!) and gave me very clear instructions for games, management tools, and resources. Best of all, I feel so much more connected to my puppy, partly because Jenny has helped me see the reasons for his behavior and partly because Jenny very kindly reassured me that I am not a terrible trainer. Her philosophy when it comes to behavior management is much more compassionate and kind towards the puppy than most training advice. My only regret is that I did not book an appointment with her sooner!”
— Sophie G.
“Jenny, the trainer at Dogminded, is a compassionate, educated, and focused teacher who has a clear desire to make dogs’ lives better. Even though we were working with her in a pandemic, the virtual sessions led to notable and impressive changes in my dog’s behavior, and all through positive reinforcement methods. Jenny has a wide range of problem-solving strategies and was a delight to work with; I am grateful to her for her commitment to my growth as an amateur trainer and my dog’s happiness!”
— Susanna R.
“ABSOLUTELY loved going through the Training Foundations Program virtually with Jenny. Positive reinforcement virtual training works and we’re here to prove it. I look up to Jenny as a certified dog trainer and I couldn’t be more grateful for her advice, time and training plan for Mila. Jenny provided us with a training plan, access to her site full of resources, engaging and informative videos, and was genuinely interested in understanding Mila’s history and her environment. We went through many trainers and, hands down, Jenny was the one who moved the needle. Thank you, Jenny!”
— Felipe S.
“Jenny has been a game changer in helping my dog, Wynnie! We started working together during the pandemic and while I was initially skeptical of doing video sessions they were so practical and effective. Jenny has a really calm and empowering teaching style and raised both my boyfriend and my confidence and knowledge a lot. We finally got to meet her in person today for our final session and had the best experience. She is so knowledgeable and strengths-based in her approach. I also really appreciate how organized and communicative she is. You can tell she takes detailed notes and puts lots of thought and effort to the plans and suggestions you get after each session. She even took the time to talk through some recent medical issues my dog has been going through and gave good insight into how to support them. Her services are definitely a worthwhile investment in person the happiness and well-being of both you and your dog. We have seen Wynnie grow by leaps and bounds through our work with Jenny and could not recommend her enough!”
— Lindsay M.
“Jenny did a great job of training me and my partner to interact better with our pup Jasper. She is amazing at reading dog behavior, and she guided us to change our strategies (giving Jasper time in the woods unencumbered!) and learn how to respond to his communication. I feel like I have so many more resources to learn about dogs and how to communicate with them because of what she introduced me to.”
— Rachel A.
“Our experience with Jenny was lovely. She’s very empathetic and understanding, and has tons of great practical advice. We really appreciated her perspectives on enrichment and exercise, and our dog seems happier and more content. She clearly loves dogs and has a passion for her work. I would definitely recommend her.”
— Alex M.
“Cannot recommend Jenny enough. We have a very fearful rescue, and the training program that Jenny established for us resulted in our dog gaining significant confidence. Jenny’s pup-centered approach prioritizes what is good for the dog and will allow them to feel more comfortable with their surroundings. We are so happy we have had the chance to work with Jenny!”
— Sean B.
“I have been lucky enough to work virtually with Jenny for the past 4 weeks completing the Virtual Foundations Program. She was incredibly helpful, and really tried to get to know both me & my pup to support our specific needs. I have a 50kg reactive German Shepherd with anxiety, so it can be hard knowing where to start. Jenny is the third trainer we have worked with and has been the most helpful by far. We are already seeing progress and are excited to see what the future holds. Her training plans are focused and she keeps the sessions on track and her coaching is fantastic. I feel much more confident knowing how to support my pup with his difficulties. Not only is Jenny amazing at what she does, but she was very accommodating too as I live in Australia and we had a huge time difference to work with. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone who cares about your dog as an individual, your relationship and their well-being but also want to see some progress :)”
— Jamie H.
“What Jenny teaches and advocates is so much more than dog “training”; it really is an approach to having a relationship with your dog that is meaningful, cooperative and fulfilling. Her teaching style is supportive, creative and I always learn something new and unexpected with every encounter. The time, effort and commitment she has invested in her education is also very evident. She is a true professional, but also very warm and patient. Would highly recommend working with Jenny!”
— Joohee S.
“Working with Jenny from Dogminded was one of the best decisions we made! We took part in her virtual “Empower your Dog” class and I’m so glad we did. Jenny is such a brilliant trainer and provides not only great support, but also the knowledge needed to understand the mechanics and better understand your dog overall. I would recommend working with Dogminded in a heartbeat to anyone who asked, you won’t regret and your dog will thank you!!”
— Erica M.
“Jenny is fantastic and gained my fearful dog’s trust within minutes. She’s always taken the time to fully explain the psychology behind my dog’s behavior and the actions we were taking to help ease her anxiety in various situations. I cannot recommend her enough for help with training and behavior management for anxious or fearful dogs!”
— Megan C.
“Puppies are hard, yo! Jenny helped me to get my little guy Franklin off to a great start through one of her online training options. Working remotely with Jenny was easy and having access to her puppy portal with lots of videos and resources was essential for me to keep my sanity. I decided to continue working with her once we were past the crazy puppy stage to work on some car reactivity and I am seeing consistent improvement applying her techniques. ”
— Christine C.
“Jenny worked with me remotely and I learned so much during our session! She taught me important training foundations for my fearful and reactive lab mix, Zoë, which we started to work on during the session with Jenny’s guidance. Jenny answered all of my questions about my dog’s behavior, and it was so wonderful to be able to connect with her.”
— Raelyn H.
“I highly recommend Jenny as a competent and knowledgeable dog trainer. One of the main reasons I initially sought Jenny’s services was because of her emphasis on force free training, and I was very pleased that her methods resulted in me becoming more skillful in managing my dog’s anxiety. At the same time, with Jenny’s emphasis on enrichment, my dog also became noticeably more content in her new environment. Jenny was very responsive to my questions and continued to provide valuable feedback after our sessions ended. All in all, working with Jenny was a great experience.”
— Kim H.
“Jenny is an amazing dog trainer. We enlisted her help in socializing and training our rescue pup as well as our older dog. She listens and gives practical advice that works! I will continue to hire her, knowing that her insights and help will enrich my dog’s life as well as my own.”
— Peter G.
“Jenny is one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable professionals I have ever encountered in all my years with dogs. I have been working with her remotely over the last 8 months, and I see an incredible difference in my dog. Henry is almost 1.5 years, and came to me around 3.5 months as a rescue. I have needed help with serious issues such as reactivity on walks, to husbandry. Recently I have been working through separation anxiety with Henry, and Jenny has gone above and beyond to provide me with helpful resources for this serious issue. Henry and I would be lost without Jenny and I can’t recommend her enough!”
— Jess F.
“Jenny has been a such an enormous help to our family as we adjusted to life with a very high energy puppy. She provided us with easy to follow plans and lots of advice on how to manage his behavior while meeting his needs. Lots of personal attention and follow through! I highly recommend her 🐶. Your dog will love her.”
— Pam B.
“My dog and I worked with Jenny on building cooperative care behaviors to support with his fear and anxiety around the vet. I chose Dogminded intentionally given her focus on positive reinforcement training and background as a Fear Free trainer. I was very impressed with her professionalism, extensive knowledge, compassion, and strength’s based lens. She helped me break down training steps I had been stuck on in the past and provided extensive resources on enrichment and choosing a vet who’d be a good fit. I would highly recommend her skills!”
— Ann W.
“Jenny is amazing. Working with her has transformed the way we work with and think about our dog. Her suggestions are practical and have benefitted our quality of life - both the dog and us! Jenny stays up-to-date on science-based research about dog behavior and is incredibly generous with sharing her expertise. Also, my dog LOVES HER. We are so grateful for Jenny.”
— Courtney S.
“Jenny is one of the most compassionate and patient people I’ve ever met. She started training my pup when he was about 12 weeks old and had helped us with everything from the basics to the more complicated tasks. Following her methods has worked to shape our dogs behavior without ever having to use negative reinforcement. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
— Jessi H.
“We call Jenny “the dog whisperer’. She is amazing. My super charged mixed breed adores her and so do we. Cannot go wrong here.”
