The heart of our pack.
Read how current and former pack members have implemented the skills and experiences gained from JEM’s Pack in their routines at home.
“Being a small person and a big dog owner, I knew that I would need help training Yogi before he was full grown and pulling on his leash. Yogi is also extremely friendly and likes to say hello by jumping on people for a hug. Clearly he doesn't understand his size and how much of an issue this could be. After joining JEM’s Pack, I can confidently bring him outside in social situations. Janell taught him how to heel so I don't get pulled while he is on leash. I can also trust him to listen to my commands so jumping is no longer a problem.”

“As a new dog parent, I had no idea what I was doing. With Janell’s help, I felt more prepared than I ever thought was possible. She taught me the skills and patience I needed to raise a well-behaved and obedient puppy. She also taught my boy how to swim! Thanks Janell!”

“If you want to walk your pup without having to be tugged around left and right, if you want to walk your pup without the thought of it chasing a rabbit or fox off leash, if you want to go on a nice populated hike without the pup bothering others off leash, if you want to take the pup through the airport to a new destination then you should definitely invest the time to get the pup properly trained. Proper training through Janell will have your pup obeying on command while also protecting the dog from harms way. My pup can now be off leash in any situation. It’s a blast to have my pup off leash and knowing that she knows right from wrong. Before training with Janell my pup chased a rabbit in snowy sub zero temperatures and got lost for 30 minutes. After almost giving up on finding her, she wound up in someone else’s car and luckily fell back into my hands. After that, I made the best investment by training her with Janell. Now I’m worry free and I know my pups training is protecting my her from ever being in harms way or lost again.”

“We had our 120lb male Rottweiler for five years before having our first child. We were nervous about how he would do with children and having little ones around Cinna when he gets excited. We decided to take him to training and with Janell’s help we were able to put boundaries in place with the dog and the children (we now have two!) Cinna will follow the girls around but lay down and give them their space as they play. Highly recommend Janell for helping a dog fit into your family’s lifestyle.”

“100% recommend sending all dogs to JEM's pack so they can be their best selves. You can tell she really loves her work and cares about teaching owners how to best manage their dogs to become a happy family. Our dog Dixie is a super high-energy herding mix. Janell listened to what our lifestyle is and what our goals were and helped train us and the dog to work together. Having an attentive dog was important so we could take her with us as we explore the great outdoors in CO. Janell did a great job training Dixie as well as training her owners! It is so much safer exploring the great outdoors with a calm dog who listens well. At 8 months old, we can take her anywhere, she is polite, attentive to our commands and a very happy dog. Having the confidence and understanding in our dog's behavior makes all of our outdoor adventures so much more fun. Can’t wait to go on even bigger adventures with more confidence for us all.”
— Katherine & Dixie
“When I came to Janell for help with my dog I was dealing with a very anxious large dog. Kimber could not relax and it made it difficult to work from home. Janell taught me that I needed to adjust some of my own behaviors because Kimber’s energy was a reflection of my own. I can now peacefully work at the computer with Kimber sitting peacefully sitting next to me, and we are now both rewarded in healthy ways at the end of a long day.”
— John & Kimber
“We brought our golden retriever puppy who would
pull us on walks and jump on everyone she could see. She was so stubborn and refused to come back to me
when called.
Janell helped train our dog and worked with us to improve and move past those issues. Now,
we are able to take Daisy on nice walks! She obeys
so much better and is a lot more pleasant when
she meets new people. She also comes when
called! It was such a worthwhile experience.
Worth
the time and money to have a well-trained dog as well as useful training skills we’ll be practicing in the future!”
— Rachel & Daisy
“Janell does an amazing job explaining WHY dogs need training and HOW different training techniques work. Both you and your dog deserve the benefit of good training; it's a lifelong investment that you will be so happy you made!
My family adopted a very anxious and reactive German Shepherd and Janell's training helped us alleviate his stress and anxiousness!”
