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!

Interview with Ron Jolly (WTCM 103.5 | 93.5), November 7, 2018.

Feel free to contact me@810-969-2956. Serving from Suttons Bay to Gaylord to Houghton Lake and beyond. I welcome dogs from other states too!!

Janet is a wonderful trainer with the heart of a dog. When my dogs were young and exhibiting undesirable behaviors, that I could not correct on my own, Janet successfully taught me positive techniques to meet the challenge. I am especially grateful to her for providing instruction on how to correctly groom them. Janet has lovingly cared for my 2 dogs, both in my home and hers, when I needed dog sitting services for the past 5 years. When you entrust your fur babies to this kind and gentle woman, know they are in capable hands.

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!
