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puppy raising and behavior modification; it is about educating owners on their dogs' learning process and extinguishing outdated methods of training.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.

I don’t know how to briefly put in words how these ladies saved my friendship with my dogs. After trying on my own to train and tons of frustration of dogs not potty trained at 2 yrs old and 1 yr old, I was not enjoying my dogs anymore and knew boarding/training was the only way to go. After interviewing and speaking to several trainers I knew Aninanny was the only choice. They LOVINGLY trained my dogs (as a pet owner we worry about leaving our dogs with someone). They were in frequent contact and sent photos and videos to assure me of the kind way they taught my dogs. When my dogs came back to me- they were completely trained; listening to my commands; not urinating through my house; and cuddly as ever. Thanks so much Aninanny for giving me back the loving pets I yearned for. I now have a place to take my dogs when I need a dog sitter as well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES.

“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!

Jeanine has been extremely responsive and professional throughout all her interactions with us and our doggos. She really knows her stuff and is passionate about training. We did the two week board and train and my puppy came back fully potty trained and understanding commands. Our older dog was also crate trained, and previously suffered from anxiety. It’s been great enlisting her services and I would 100% recommend.
