Struggling With an Over the Top, Fearful or Reactive Dog?

Transform Your Out of Control Dog to One That is a Joy to Live With


I help overwhelmed dog parents who are exhausted by their dog's reactivity, fear, and overexcitement achieve calm, confident dogs. 


Using positive training methods, I work with dogs who bark, lunge, pull on leash, can't settle, or struggle with fear of people, dogs, or new situations. 


DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU & YOUR DOG?

  • Barks and lunges at dogs or people on walks
  • You have to cross the street, walk at odd hours or avoid walks altogether
  • Growling, jumping or barking at guests
  • Too worked up to listen, even for treats
  • You’ve tried everything and you’re worn out

WATCH FRANK & MAPLE's TRANSFORMATIONS

Frank Used to Be Fearful of Dogs on Walks

Jen G. Pywell's day training with Frank the French bulldog helped him go from barking, staring and lunging at dogs to politely greeting new dogs. He can now walk with his Mom, his corgi sister and his new baby sister and politely pass dogs on walks. If Frank can do it, your dog can, too!

Maple Used to Do Acrobatic Lunges on Walks

Maple is a big strong girl and her reactivity to dogs made walks very stressful for her dog parents. After a day training program with Jen G. Pywell, Maple was more calm and focused on walks and was able to pass dogs on leash without any more acrobatics. 

WHY IS DAY TRAINING IS SO EFFECTIVE?

Day training is the most effective way to reach your dog's training goals in the shortest amount of time necessary because an experienced trainer directly trains your dog for you, then transfers the skills to you. Rather than you having to learn how to be a dog trainer, the skills your dog needs to succeed are pre-installed and your job is to maintain those skills after the training is completed. This takes the guesswork out of training and leaves you with a professionally trained canine you can enjoy.
