Introduction: Pack Academy began when our missions aligned for training well-mannered companions by empowering owners with the knowledge to raise their dogs. Our specialty is more than puppy raising and behavior modification; it is about educating owners on their dogs' learning process and extinguishing outdated methods of training. We know that the true foundation of training starts with trust, play, and leadership. From modifying unwanted behaviors and educating owners, to house-breaking and potty-training puppies, our hands are always full. And when we're not actively engaging with our furry friends, our minds are busy researching new techniques that span from holistic animal health (where we've learned to incorporate flower essences, essential oils, homeopathic remedies, and massages into our routines) all the way to the psychology behind animal behavior. *limited space available as we only take on a small group of dogs at a time to ensure high quality attention and training is given*

I have an 11 month bichon poodle who no matter what I did would continue having accidents in the house, would jump on my five-year-old child, and would engage in biting. Pack Academy had my dog for a two week boarded training session, and when I say that the dog that came back was a completely different dog that is an understatement. The dog came back completely housebroken, listens to commands, is not jumping, or scratching on my child, and is generally not chewing on things that she is not supposed to. My dog now knows various commands, is attentive, and understands that she cannot do whatever she pleases. If you are considering hiring them, please do not hesitate. The level of professionalism, responsiveness, care, and attention that this company gives is one of the best that I have ever seen. Thank you for giving me a better and more obedient dog. I will forever be thankful and will certainly be coming back for additional advanced training.

🥰 Thank you Sam. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and Lucy. Every dog teaches us something, and she definitely left a mark! We can’t wait to continue working on advance learning.

Jeanine was amazing! Her response to my questions and concerns regarding the training for my fur babies was absolutely incredible. She was patient and very detailed with each one. The tools she gave me have completely made a difference and I can’t thank her enough. I absolutely recommend her for any dog training. You will not be disappointed!!

“What a good boy!” Those words are music to any dog owner’s ears and thanks to Jeannine I get that quite a bit about my now 11-month-old Bernedoodle Bodhi. Jeannine was literally there from day 1 when I brought him home. Even though I’ve had dogs before I had forgotten about puppyhood and anyway so much has changed in the world of dog training and raising. Jeannine is not only a superb dog behaviorist but she knows how to work with the humans too - even those like me who had a million questions and was so worried I was doing everything wrong. One of the best things about Jeannine is that she responds to every question in a timely manner and that was so helpful in those early puppy days. We also did the board and training with her and that was incredible. We got videos that I still refer to today and it was clear he had a great time and felt loved. And he came home with new great behaviors such as staying calmly in his crate. Jeannine gives you great tools and if you are willing to put in some consistent work you will see the rewards. Bodhi is an amazing dog who comes on trips with us and to restaurants. He’s a good leash walker too. He’s still a puppy so it’s nice to know that I can go to Jeannine as new behaviors come up. And I never tire of hearing people say he’s such a good dog. 😊

🥰 Thank you Ellen, it has been a pleasure to work with you and Bodhi. He is truly such a good dog!

We hired Jeannine to help us with our Aussie baby (5 months old at the time she boarded and trained him) while we were out of town. My reason primarily for choosing her services over other trainers were 1) a co-worker of mine recommended her after using her services with her puppy 2) she was the only trainer I found that would board in her own home and not a facility 3) she was very professional throughout our communications. After 12 days with her, Loki was like a new dog. No longer biting, or jumping. The best part is that she crate trained him so that now I can place him in the crate without feeling guilty because he is used to it. She explained to me the reason for his biting and hyperactivity had to do with overstimulation and he needed naps (crate was the best thing for him). She treated our dog as if it was her own. Jeannine’s calm demeanor, work experience, and background education in behavior analysis and psychology really make her an Amazing trainer! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trainer. She did amazing with my baby and could not be thankful enough. By the way… I’m an occupational therapist ( know a few things about children’s and adult’s behaviors-not so much about dogs lol). Best part about her services is also the affordability! I compared prices with a few different companies. I’m so thankful to have been referred to her❤️.
