“Jacqueline is a colleague that has assisted on many of my cases – she is thoughtful and creative in her solutions and strives to set both human and dog learners up for success. She is professional and knowledgeable and eager to help!”
“Jaqueline has been absolutely incredible with my fearful and reactive pup! I went into training thinking that my dog might be beyond help, but after 3 sessions the progress exceeded anything I could have imagined! We are able to take her out and about, welcome company into our home, and enjoy so many things that I never thought possible!
I can’t recommend Jaqueline enough :)”
“Jacqueline has helped us so much during a challenging transition period with our rescue puppy. She understood his needs and gave us incredible advice and so much support. Our boy was very weary of people and absolutely loves Jacqueline and their time together. Highly recommend Jacqueline for anyone looking for a highly knowledgeable and loving trainer!”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Jacqueline for so many reasons. We have a rescue that has some quirky traits that we were truly clueless about how to handle. She is so knowledgeable, effective and helps you learn about these quirks and how to handle them in a very non judgemental way. And she thought us how to continue in our positive direction on our own. The thorough write up afterward was very helpful to us too. Do not hesitate to chose Jacqueline!”
“We consulted Jacqueline to help with a few issues we were having with our dog (aggression with strangers coming into our home as well as trying to help our and family members dogs get along.. and some other issues). Jacqueline has been amazing! Our dog is a rescue with unknown history and we have done a lot of different training methods without much success. Jaqueline’s approach has been completely different and honestly we are seeing now how traditional training created more issues for her. We have seen a lot of improvement in how she acts when strangers come into our home and we have a structured plan now of what we do when people come over. Her training not only helps our dog but has relieved a lot of anxiety and stress we have been feeling when I comes to our dog. She is so knowledgeable and supportive and really kind and easy to work with. Some of our dogs behaviors are embarrassing and I have never felt judged in any way. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her! Here is a picture of Jacqueline with all our dogs that didn’t get along before her!”
“Our neighbor recommended Jacqueline for training and she has been amazing! We worked with her to reduce our dog’s reactivity to handling and barking. We have seen a huge improvement in her behavior! We have learned so much about how to communicate and interact in a gentle and predictable way with our dog. Jacqueline is kind, non-judgemental, professional and reliable – she explains things clearly and thoroughly. Highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline has been so helpful for my dogs and me – helping us through a difficult transition period – getting us on a good path forward. She is knowledgeable, patient, professional, thorough, listens, and takes time to explain & teach. I highly recommend working with Jacqueline if you want a better relationship with your dogs.”
“Wow, what a Godsend Jacqueline was.
I was so unsure picking a trainer for my fear/reactive dog. Didn’t want to cause more harm than good and didn’t think an e-collar was good for my dog (most trainers wanted to use).
So glad we found her! My pup just loves her !!! I’ve learned so much and my dog is so receptive to Jacqueline’s training. Every session is so informative and positive.
Didn’t think I could learn that much after having dogs for 40+ years…boy was I wrong!!!
Was so affraid after having the police called on us after run ins with people and dogs. Thankfully no biting. But you’d never think she didn’t bit if you saw her barking so violently. I was affraid of having to surrender my pup due to these run ins .
She’s responded so positively with Jacqueline. I couldn’t even imagine my girl being so unafraid and enjoying life with me now. Meeting goals every week that I would have never thought possible.
Best part, all the stress and fear for her is disappearing fand for me as well. Now we’re probably over the hardest part of trainings and we are able to enjoy it and use games for training even. Can’t begin to express our gratitude
10 stars for Training by Jacqueline”
“Jacqueline has been helping me integrate my foster dog with my dogs. She is absolutely amazing, so patient and knowledgeable. They are doing so well! Highly recommend Training by Jacqueline for force free positive training.”
“Over time my dog began to show some not so fun behaviors around other unfamiliar people/dogs. After his most recent incident, I reached out for guidance. Jacqueline is an absolute rockstar with providing information of how to help my lil guy in so many situations. She’s super knowledgeable and made me very comfortable every step of the way. I never felt ashamed for previous mistakes of how I’ve handled situations. My dog still has some training to do but he’s making great strides with the help from Jacqueline
11/10 recommend!”
“Jacqueline has been a game-changer for our household! We have two rescue fur babies with different behavior/training needs. Jacqueline has been able to help us, help our boys seamlessly. She is extremely knowledgeable and discusses why some unwanted behaviors occur and how we can help our boys work through their triggers/stressors/excitement. Knowing the causes for some of their behaviors has helped us see why they occur and has better helped us understand our dogs and their needs. We have learned to look for signs and signals our pups are showing us before behaviors even occur, so we can step in and help avoid certain triggers. Jacqueline gives suggestions and revises strategies for your personal preferences or what works best in our household. It is not a “one size fits all” like most of your traditional training. It is completely tailored to your goals for your pup/pups! Our boys are so much happier and enjoying all of the enrichment ideas she has given us. We are so thankful to have found her because she is so patient, calm, dedicated, and informative. Not only do we love her, but our dogs do too!”
“Jacqueline has been beyond amazing helping us with our two greyhounds – Margot and Indy. She is very intuitive and seeks to help the dogs and us live a better life. She realized that Margot’s aggression may be pain related. We went to the vet and found some back issues. We started her on some medication and her aggression has decreased significantly. Plus we have been doing some great training for mobility, warnings for sharing space and wait and stay. The dogs absolutely love her. We highly recommend her if you are looking for a great trainer!”
“When we rescued our girl, Mollie, she was terrified and showing aggressive tendencies towards other dogs in the family. I was so worried that she would not be able to be integral part of our family, specifically with my sisters dogs, who we spend a lot of time with. There was a lot of worry and uncertainty…and then we found Jacqueline.
After 3 training sessions and a lot of practice, mollie has made so much progress! She has gained confidence in her environment and is doing Great with other dogs. Jacqueline helped me to learn important strategies and techniques to understand mollies behavior and how I can support her. Jacqueline is extremely compassionate, kind, supportive and knowledgeable! I have had dogs my entire life and I can’t believe how much I didn’t know about dog behavior. I truthfully believe every dog owner should have a session with Jacqueline, because her knowledge and expertise is so beneficial.
Jacqueline was so easy to get along with, friendly and supportive, we never felt any judgement and she helped us SO much. Our dogs absolutely loved her! If you need any assistance with your pets, do yourself a favor and call Jacqueline, we could not recommend her more!!”
“Jacqueline is an exceptional dog trainer! I enrolled my 2-year-old pit bull terrier in her “out of town” Hybrid program. We faced challenges with his overexcited behavior at doggie daycare, but Jacqueline helped create a plan assisting both the daycare and myself to reintegrate Dylan back into daycare.
Jacqueline’s friendly approach made the sessions enjoyable, and the post-training write-ups were invaluable. Thanks to her, I now have a wealth of tools that empower me to raise my dog to be his best—highly recommended!”
“Jacqueline was absolutely amazing in training our Winnie. We were a little worried as we adopted Winnie and she had some reactive behavior, she was amazing with us just not strangers. After working with Jacqueline she is a lot more relaxed and comfortable around people. I would highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone that wants to have more confidence in walking their dog in public or around other dogs. We can’t thank her enough and Winnie absolutely loves her.”
“The difference Jacqueline made for our dog is amazing. So much so that we’re having her continue for another group of sessions to teach him even more skills. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Highly recommend”
“Our experience with Jacqueline has been wonderful. She is knowledgeable, calm, confident and a terrific communicator. Jacqueline has been working with our three year old dog and us for a couple of months and the results have been truly fantastic. We wish we started with her earlier. Jacqueline really helps with providing us with the tools and considerations to be successful with our pup. She also follows up with notes from the training session to work on through to the next session. Jacquline receives our highest recommendation. Think no further, start working with her, you will be happy that you took the step forward.”
“Jacqueline has been wonderful in helping our family learn how to change aggressive behaviors in our dog. We greatly appreciate everything she has done. Jacqueline is very friendly, good communication, flexible, open and honest. I would highly recommend Jacqueline!”
“Jacqueline has been awesome. We rescued a young English Bulldog, Gidget, 1.5 years ago and she has had a lot of anxiety and disruptive behaviors. She needed some additional attention beyond just simple commands and tricks. Jacqueline out together a care plan for our little devil dog and helped us as dog parents learn how to train Gidget, focusing on routines that centered around her triggers. As humans, we also had to be trained on how we approach Gidget’s new tasks and goals.
Very much recommended for thorough, client centered service to help our little bully-potato feel more secure in her own home.”
“Jacqueline has been amazing to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable. She demonstrates what we need to do and leaves us with a great handwritten summary of what we talked about during her visit. We have loved working with her and would highly recommend her.”
“I would highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone with training needs. She has helped up tremendously with our mini aussie Maverick. When we first started training with Jacqueline we were desperate (used another dog trainer with e collar training which made his behaviors unmanageable) and with her guidance Maverick is now living a much happier life. Previously, Maverick was unable to even see a dog from a distance in our neighborhood without going crazy and now we are able to go on walks and pass by other dogs without any reactive behaviors (something we did not think was possible). There are endless situations she has helped us with that I can’t even list them all. If it isn’t a service she offers she will recommend you to anyone that can help. One of the things I was most impressed and thankful for was how understanding and caring she has been. When you are so frustrated with your dogs behaviors or where you are at with training she is so understanding with what you are feeling in that moment because she has been in your shoes. On top of our wonderful experiences with Jacqueline her prices are so reasonable and more than worth everything we have gained in the past 9 months! It is very difficult to find positive reinforcement trainers in this area and Jacqueline is one of the best.”
“I would highly recommend Jacqueline for behavioral dog training. She is wonderful to work with and an excellent resource! She thoroughly explains the reason(s) behind the unwanted behavior and only uses positive reinforcement steps and methods for correcting. Detailed notes of what we went over during each training session and homework is provided. We have made great progress with our German Shepherd puppy so far and I would definitely reach out to her for all your training needs!”
“Jacqueline is an excellent trainer. She patiently helped us reign in our wild golden and taught us how to get Luna to be less jumpy, and gave us lots of help with getting our terrier mix less reactive on walks. Luna still has a ways to go (this is our fault, we need to put more time into her training daily) but I finally feel confident that we can get her there, thanks to Jacqueline.
I really appreciated how nonjudgmental Jacqueline was-we did not always do the daily training we should’ve in between sessions but she never shamed us. Every interaction was very positive. I fully recommend her!”
“We have struggled with our dog Darla for a long time and after a few weeks of training we are seeing a huge difference. We have used other trainers with other dogs they always made us feel like we were doing everything wrong and how could we not know what to do. Jacqueline never makes us feel that way. She is so supportive. Every time we meet she gives me confidence that I can do it! Always we can touch base between visits which is always helpful”
“We LOVE Jacqueline! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and after training for a few weeks we have seen such a change in our dog. We are learning so much!!! We have had other trainers who make us feel like we are bad pet owners. With Training by Jacqueline that is not the case. She is kind and teaching us instead of telling us what we are doing wrong. She always explains why we are doing what we are doing so we understand the importance of it.”
“A++ service and a great person to work with! Can’t wait for the next session”
“she is very knowledgeable and compassionate for you and your dog. The training is very natural, common sense and with love in mind. I feel good about her training and the notes she takes and leaves behind are great reminders of her visit and to Practice!”
“Jacqueline is an excellent resource! Lessons are great and our little pup is making great progress with her help! Can’t wait until the next lesson!”
“After our 14 years with Loki, we forgot the time it can take for a new puppy (Koda was 6 months when we adopted her) to trust their new family/environment. Jacqueline was able to translate Koda’s personality and fears with amazing recommendations for us to create a calming presence and better channel her spunk (which at the time was borderline skin breaking biting and aggression). A year later, Koda and I trust one another. She is part of the family and we are in a groove of companionship that was made possible by Jacqueline’s wisdom and support. As there were several days when Koda was nearly returned to the human society by yet another family (us). Today, as the cliche goes…we can’t imagine not having Koda in our lives.”
“We adopted two dogs from a rescue and started to notice quite a bit of anxiety and fear reactivity/aggression. We knew we needed some help. Jacqueline was highly recommended to us by the rescue where we volunteer. We contacted her, and she was quick to respond. Our experience with Jacqueline has been nothing short of excellent. She is incredibly knowledgeable and so very kind. It’s easy to see that she loves dogs and what she does. Her approach is strictly fear/force free, positive reinforcement. She had us pick just a couple of areas to focus our training on to start and formed a plan from there, complete with “homework” for us to work on with our pups until the next appointment. She takes her time explaining and demonstrating these activities, as well as the rationale behind them. Then at future sessions, she modifies/progresses the plan as needed. Her prices are a bargain for the amount of time she spends at our home, as well as the amount of knowledge she has to share. We have seen significant improvement in all of our areas of concern in a short amount of time…just 2 months and 3 sessions. We continue to work with Jacqueline in our efforts to help our girls be the happiest pups they can be, and we happily recommend Jacqueline to anyone for their training needs.”
“Jacqueline has been wonderful to work with in training Pipin, our little Havenese puppy – ok really his family of people! 😀 She is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with. She has spent time teaching us to understand his behavior and work with him positively. All of her suggestions and training have made a significant difference for our little guy, who is is a bit reactive to his environment and anxious with new people and things. She is also realistic and breaks down big goals into manageable steps! I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog trainer! It is clear that she understands dogs behavior and really loves and has great affection for dogs!”
Woodard Family Howell
“Jacqueline was highly recommended to us by the dog rescue that we adopted one of our dogs from and we are so glad we took their advice. She really taught us how to interpret our dogs’ behaviors and how to incrementally change those behaviors with positive reinforcement. It is wonderful that she does training at our home so our whole family can be involved. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to understand and work with their dogs in a kind and gentle manner.”
“Jacqueline was referred to us by a group trainer in Petco when the trainer identified our little guy needed special attention. We began training with her last fall and so far our little yellow dog has made significant progress. He had a severe case of stranger danger having been in a shelter for sometime. Her approach with training and recommending simple exercises has totally helped him. We would like to specifically mention her in-depth knowledge in general dog psyche, which she uses along with spending quality time in getting to know our dog to best advocate exercises/training that work best for him. Communication with her is super easy and stress-free with any questions and clarifications solved immediately to put our minds at ease. She sends feedback on our sessions with pointers to exercises and a step-by–step breakdown if required. We would 100% recommend her for your dog’s training needs and look forward to continue working with her in the future for our little guy.”
“My family has been hugely blessed by Jacqueline’s advice. She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to understand. All of her methods have worked.”
“We reached out to Jackie to help us with our newly rescued dog who has separation anxiety. She has been nothing short of amazing. In just a couple months she has taught us how to handle Ryder’s anxiety along with other behavior training exercises we would have never thought were possible. She pours her heart into every dog, and it shows. We are so lucky we found her!”
“We are so thankful to have found Jacqueline! She has taught not only our dog but our whole family so much! Our dog went from self mutilating and bending bars when put in his crate to going in himself just to play. He is much gentler with our kids and our kids have learned how to play gently with him! We can’t thank Jacqueline enough for all of her help! We love our Jax so much, it was so hard seeing him suffer before.”
“Jacqueline is so amazing!! I don’t want to think of where we would be without her! She has helped us get through the challenging puppy phase with our 10mo Labradoodle and now working our way to become a therapy pup! I recommend her everyone I can!”
“I never really realized there is so much to teach a dog to get a desired behavior. Jacqueline is very resourceful and patient when teaching us and our dog training techniques. She is a real dog whisper! 😊🐾”
“Jacqueline has helped our adorable but dog-reactive Lenny calmly get a hold of himself for once! Our boy would cause a lot of trouble when other dogs came near our house and would even jump the fence to get to them, resulting in two different bite situations…Thankfully, Jacqueline taught us how to teach Lenny that other dogs walking by doesn’t have to be a scary or stressful experience. She’s even helped manage the relationship between Lenny and our other dog Emma, who doesn’t have near as much energy as Lenny does. It has been a slow process but Lenny has showed so much improvement after working with Jacqueline! Thank you so so much for all your help!”
“I am just in awe with the progress we are making! Can’t wait to our next lesson! We would highly recommend Jacqueline!!”
“Jacqueline is incredible!! She helped us so much! She listened to my concerns and worked with our little guy accordingly. We have all learned so much during our sessions with her. She’s calm and patient. She really trained all of us so we will be able to continue once she’s not there. I couldn’t ask for a better trainer and will always go to Jacqueline for all of our questions and training needs!”
“We just had our first session yesterday and I was blown away! You gave me back the confidence & hope for living with my dogs. I can’t wait for all our future sessions!!!
“Just finished up training session 4 last night. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect so much progress in such a short amount of time. We went from a dog that was so reactive to door knocks that she was out of control and heard nothing we said, to a dog that checks in with us and will stay on her bed while we answer the door. Jacqueline is very knowledgeable and patient , not only with the dogs but with teaching all family members as well! So happy that we made the decision to have her come help us!”
“I wanted to share this photo.To everyone else, this is just three dogs on a couch. To us, it shows progress we never thought could happen. A mere 8 months ago we found Millie (buried pittie in the blanket) on the streets of Detroit and wanted to give her a good home. Everything was great until she and Roxy (brindle old lady on the pillow) started those horrible fights. Both dogs just wouldn’t stop, and we called Training by Jacqueline. She helped us work through the household dynamic, teach Millie some “manners”, and even helped teach the old ladies a thing or two! Through patience and guidance, our holiday season is gonna be a great one this year! Thank you for everything, Jacqueline!”
“I have a 4 year old English Mastiff (EM), Remy, who I’ve had since she was 14 weeks old. She has a lot of fear issues and she and I recently moved from the country to the city. She grew up with another EM in the house and they were very close and always together. Unfortunately the other EM didn’t move with us so that added to Remy’s anxiety. Jacqueline came to our house to work with Remy and helped me make Remy feel more comfortable and secure on her own. She so much better around strangers and we even go for walks with another dog…she made a new friend!! Thank you Jacqueline from Remy and me. We appreciate you!!”
“We are five training sessions in for our five month old Husky. Jacqueline has superseded our expectations for a trainer. She is punctual, calm, organized and VERY creative to ensure she meets the needs of the client. Jacqueline encourages communication by email, phone and/or text in between sessions too!! She has a strong passion for her work and all the fur-friends she meets along the way. We are so grateful to be able to learn from Jackie and consider her a family friend.”
“Jacqueline helped me work with my foster dog, Titus, who was fearful of new people, places and loud noises. She was so patient with him and always knew exactly what to do to make him comfortable and confident. She would give us “homework assignments” that were easy to implement and helped Titus make huge improvements. He came so far in just a few weeks! I now have the tools to continue to work with him and am so grateful to Jacqueline! Plus, she is very flexible with appointments and answers my questions via FB or text immediately. I highly recommend her to everyone!”
“If you’re looking for a gentle trainer, with the patience, knowledge & experience to help with any problem, or even just with basics, you’ve come to the right place!”
“Excellent, very knowledgeable and caring. Highly recommend”
“Jackie is awesome! She is helping us train and communicate with our wonderful dog Wyatt. We are learning so much, and the tips and homework Jackie provides are definitely making a difference, not only for our Wy guy, but for all of us. We highly recommend Jackie as a trainer; she’s a total pro, and will help you feel more confident and comfortable on the other end of the leash. Our family appreciates the support, guidance, and expertise provided by Jackie. And Wyatt appreciates having a family who better understand his needs…and many opportunities to earn delicious treats!”
“Jacqueline is a great dog trainer. She has the patience of a saint and is truly dedicated. You can tell working with animals is her true passion. My dog loves her. Anytime I’ve had any issues I could always count on her to help guide me.”
“WOW! She is truly an amazing human, and doggie trainer! My pup, Izzy and I, have had tremendous success just in a short amount of time. Jacqueline has been so kind, informative and supportive in our journey. She tailors the training to each specific need of the doggies and their human parents! I’m looking forward to continuing work with her towards a stronger bond, a more comfortable atmosphere and structure for my fur-baby!!!!!! As well as, helping get information out there to others about positive training methods! She has been a lifesaver”
“She gave us wonderful verbal and written instructions. She goes over everything very well! Wonderful!!!”
“Jacqueline is very good at what she does, shes very knowledgeable and informative.”
“Excellent and professional”
“I love the fact when I have a question or issue I can text and she’s responds fast”
“She is extremely kind and informative and available!”
“Her patience, her understanding, her explanations, her willingness to accept questions via text or call outside of training session. Her frequent tips via social media of instances/training that is so very applicable, but not top of my mind”
