Gaia’s Success Story —

Jenna has really helped me to better understand how my dog communicates with me, and has empowered me to act as an advocate for my reactive rover. Jenna has taught me to be attentive to my dog’s body language in order to gauge her comfort level in a variety of situations and environments that might be over stimulating, which helps me to be more aware of the triggers my dog is exposed to. With a deeper understanding of my dog’s mental health I am better able to foster a trusting relationship with her. Gaia knows I will respect her boundaries and remove her from stressful situations ASAP.

I love that Jenna educates pet parents on how to help our reactive pups using positive reinforcement! I want our training experiences to be relationship building, allowing my dog to behave well as a choice (because she is well rewarded and trusting) rather than because she is afraid of the punishment for behaving badly. Jenna is supportive and encouraging as we continue on this journey, available by email and DMs to cheer for our successes and bolster us when we’re struggling.

I especially want to note the value of Jenna’s YouTube videos, too! I love that I can revisit these ideas when I am in the right headspace to absorb the information. I appreciate that Jenna speaks to experts and delves deeply into the research, and has more practical videos with activities and training games too. 

Jenna has fundamentally changed the way I look at dog training: not as a task with a finish line but as the ongoing building and maintaining of a positive and enriching, mutually beneficial relationship with my dog, for life! Thanks so much, Jenna!
