Posted on Jacky Neu25 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WOW, where to even start!!?? Justine has LITERALLY gotten myself and my family out of doggie jail. After I had my son my dog Bailey got EXTREME separation anxiety to the point where I left for Walmart one day and she pushed the screen out of an window (that was barely cracked put she pushed it up) and jumped out and disappeared for four hours we had to hunt her down to find her! She then continued to completely destroy our house! (See attached photos). Anytime we left it wasn’t IF she was going to destroy something it was WHAT will she destroy. The stress and anxiety made us spend tons of money of dog sitters or just not even leave the house unless someone stayed back. We would never get rid of Bailey but it was becoming expensive, depression and exhausting. Anytime we left she also violently shook, drooled, panted, paced and within five minutes had something destroyed. SO we finally had enough and hired Justine to help with her behavior. Two months later of spending my summer being home with her or paying someone to watch her (dog jail) BUT having Justine comeover with lessons, zoom lessons and training homework we did it ALL. I CAN FINALLY SAY I left today to get coffee and this dog DID NOT BUDGE. She sat in the window and stared. No anxiety, no shaking, NO destruction!!! I am completely STUNNED! Thank you Justine for getting us out of dog jail!!! The training part can be tough, you have to be relentless and consistent with what Justine tells you to do but IT WORKS!!! We are soooo grateful!!!Posted on Tasha Sorenson22 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justine is a truly effective dog trainer! She has a wonderful approach that keeps things simple by focusing on using Goose's name, rather than a bunch of complex commands. We've seen excellent results with Goose, and we're confident that by continuing to apply Justine's lessons, he'll keep improving. We especially appreciated the hands-on experience of training in real-world environments like sidewalks and parks, which was invaluable. Justine always gave us clear, direct advice that was incredibly helpful.Posted on Hope Havenhill19 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justine was great with my puppy Esther! I was so grateful to have an awesome trainer that helped me with my pitbull. She taught me the right skills I needed to feel in control and to strengthen Esther and I's relationship for the better!Posted on Maggie Barrett13 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had a wonderful training experience filled with tough love and yet still so many laughs and snuggles. Our puppy responded so well to the training process with Justine and is well on his way to being a perfectly trained dog. Thank you!Posted on Nathan Loeum-Schultz6 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had at minimum 6 sessions in a few month period. One session a week in her course for however long fits your needs. One session a week gives you “homework” to do leading up to your next session. She’s really good at what she does and knows exactly what she’s doing to correct your dogs’ behavior.Posted on Deb Williams5 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justine is a great trainer! Every issue we had with our puppy has been resolved from the training lessons!Posted on Sydney Shaffer2 September 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had such a good experience with Justine! I have two dogs both over 50 lbs and both are reactive to other dogs (one doesn’t like them and the other gets too excited). I knew I needed help but didn’t know where to go considering other trainers thought my dogs should be on anxiety medication or should be sent away to a 4 week program. Justine on the other hand actually took the time to work with me so I could learn how to handle them. I can honestly say things are so much better than when we started and they have made so much progress. I definitely recommend dog training with Justine, she just knows how to fix whatever issue you may be having with your dog, she’s seriously a dog whisperer!Posted on Mohanraj Perumal30 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Dog Trainer with Effective Techniques! I recently worked with Justine to train my puppy Thor, I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the beginning, Justine was professional, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about dog training. Justine took the time to understand my puppy’s needs. Customized training plan was both effective and fun for Thor. I noticed significant improvement in Thor after few sessions. Justine also provided me valuable tips and techniques to continue reinforce the training. Overall, I highly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer. They truly made a difference in our lives.Posted on Katie Barber27 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justine was absolutely awesome! Daily contact and advice when issue with our dog came up. I would highly recommend!!!! We got our Rosie back!Posted on Aimee O5 June 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justine really helped our dogs (and us) remember the basics and we moved on from there. I love that she explains why things should be done a certain way. That really helps cement the action/activity. The access to her is great all the time for questions or issues that may come up. She’s so accessible and easy to work with and knows her stuff!
