Training Philosophy
Jenna Teti is dedicated to using force-free, humane, evidence-based training that focuses on the use of positive reinforcement. The methods she uses are based on the most up-to-date behavioral science and put an emphasis on making sure your dog feels safe and as stress-free as possible as we teach them new behaviors or modify undesirable ones. All training follows the humane hierarchy and LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) to achieve our goals. She will never use fear, force, pain or coercion when working with your dog and she does not utilize tools such as shock, prong, or choke collars.

Customer Reviews
Elaine & Betty White: We haven't had a puppy in over 35 years, and both Jenna and Shannon set the initial stage.for us in their hour and a half consultation session We learned the importance of having an environment that was safe , positive and loving.
Once Betty was home with us, Shannon came to our house to demonstrate various training techniques. More than anything , what followed was a philosophical approach to raising a puppy. In just 4 weeks , Shannon instilled in us a foundation that we now can use for many new situations.
Signing up for the puppy training package was money well spent. I recommend Think Smart Dog Training to anyone getting a puppy.
