We have been working with Jolyne to train our dog Athena since Athena was a puppy. Before working with Jolyne, Athena was a typical puppy- high energy, did not listen, jumped on people, and reacted to other dogs. After working with Jolyne for several months Athena has matured and adjusted to her training making her a much more calm and enjoyable family member. Athena walks well on a leash and responds to commands- sit, down, leave it, off, heel, come, place, etc. We love Athena and are now able to enjoy her more as a member of the family. Thank you so much to Jolyne and Central FL K9 for working with our gorgeous girl!

I’ve been working with Jolyne for the past few months with my dog Bentley, and the progress we’ve made has been incredible. Bentley struggled with reacting toward other dogs and sometimes people, which made taking him out in public very stressful for both of us. Jolyne has helped me build so much more confidence in my handling skills and understanding of Bentley’s behavior. Because of her guidance and training, I’m now able to take Bentley out in public with little to no reactions toward other dogs or people. I also feel much more comfortable allowing him off leash in specific controlled areas. The difference in both Bentley’s confidence and my own has been huge. Jolyne is patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly cares about both the dogs and their owners. Training isn’t just about teaching the dog, it’s about teaching the human too, and she does an amazing job at both. I’m very grateful for everything she’s helped us accomplish and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely wants to see you and their dog succeed.

I cannot say enough good things about Ciera. Working with her has completely changed the way I understand and handle my dog, Enzo. He’s an extremely high drive Doberman with intense prey instincts, and before working with her, I felt like I was constantly reacting instead of actually leading him. What sets Ciera apart is how clearly she explains why behaviors are happening and how to properly address them without creating more frustration. One of the biggest breakthroughs for me was learning timing giving a command, allowing a moment for compliance, and only correcting if necessary. That alone made a huge difference in Enzo’s attitude and responsiveness. She didn’t just throw tools or quick fixes at us she focused on building a solid foundation with obedience: sit, down, place, heel. It sounds simple, but mastering those basics with a dog like Enzo has been everything. His over arousal, especially around distractions, has improved so much because of her approach. Ciera is patient, knowledgeable, and realistic. She understands that dogs like Enzo aren’t “bad” they’re just intense and need clear structure and leadership. If you have a high drive or working breed and feel overwhelmed, she is absolutely the person you want guiding you.
