Customer Reviews


Sandy and Violet: Jenny helped us bring out all of Sunny's good qualities, she uses kindness and treats to correct behavior.


Mary: I am so appreciative. What a wonderful accomplishment for my Great Dane Annie Jellybean who was this formerly shy and fearful rescue. I want to tell you how grateful I am for your training that was informative, practical, supportive, kind, low-stress, fun, and very successful. I love the way you are able to break down complicated behavior principles into everyday examples and strategies. As someone trained in behavior intervention. You coach your human students to be more successful dog caregivers and clearly love watching people and dogs learn together. You have truly given Annie Jellybean and me a strong, healthy, happy foundation that has lasted for years. Thank you.


Angie and Derick: Jenny is an expert at animal behavior. She has given us a deeper understanding of how our dogs process their environment and provided us with the tools and techniques to help them navigate the world more successfully. Jenny is great at what she does, and we absolutely recommend her to any and every pet owner.


Tony and Annette: We were looking for puppy training in a positive, fun atmosphere for our pup Griff. Jenny worked with Griff on socialization with loud and strange objects. He had some fear of the vacuum, and we saw immediate differences. He was soon running over to it. Jenny helped us teach him his name, sit, stay and more all in a positive way. We are thankful to have Behavior Matters and Jenny in Griff's life!

Who are the dog trainers listed on this page?

We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.

How can I select the right trainer for my dog?

Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.

How do I ensure these trainers are competent?

All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.

Why is positive reinforcement emphasized, and what is it?

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

Are these trainers equipped to address specific behavioral problems?

Yes, they are. Trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.

How do I initiate a training program with a trainer?

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.

How do group sessions differ from private ones?

Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.

Which training techniques do these trainers abstain from?

All trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.

When can I expect to see results using positive reinforcement training?

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.

Can I attend a training session to observe before committing?

Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
