My goal at Companion Canines is to help your dog become a happy, well-balanced and reliable companion. I work to find out what training methods work best along with giving you information to make you and your dog’s lives better. Scientific learning theories have proven dogs to be a social- and community-driven animal, each with their own specific language.

All of the training done with Companion Canines is built around positive reinforcement as well as non-physical punishment. Through mental and physical activity, the goal for your animal is to become a well-balanced family member. As a result, your dog will not be lonely or develop destructive behavior when left alone, and will be better behaved during human and social interactions.

Dogs won’t always be perfect, but they certainly deserve to be happy!

My family and I have been taking our dogs to Janet for 5+ years now for training and boarding- she is truly the BEST. Janet is so spot on with her training and direction not only with dogs, but owners as well. Janet has extensive knowledge about dog training and health. I look to her for any advice related to my dogs. Janet is experienced, hard working and professional. My dog and I leave her home feeling comfortable and confident to conquer anything! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We are truly thankful and continually amazed at the results of Companion Canines. Janet assessed the behaviors of our Airedale Terriers creating individualized plans to meet out goals within a pack of 3 dogs (2 litter mates and 1 rescue). Janet transformed chaos into a team that works together. The ideal dream of pet ownership can be attained but anything good requires practice, work, and consistency. The best part she becomes part of your team and is there for you and your pack even after completing the training should you encounter questions and to participate in group pack walks. We highly recommend her as a trainer – her behavioral knowledge, guidance and care are beyond compare.
