I've been working with Jena for a few months on helping me train my reactive pug/chihuahua mix. She uses positive reinforcement techniques, which I really appreciate, and she has given me confidence in my ability to help my dog be calmer and happier. Jena has been patient with me and encouraging to me as I try to navigate my way through this new process. You can really tell she has a passion for all animals, and her positivity is infectious. I enjoy our times together, and I see an improvement in my dog's behavior as well as in my relationship with my dog.
