Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Jan sure enjoyed working with you and River is really doing well. I think I have two more lessons so was wondering if you could recommend classes that might be good for us?
You might want to try the Trick and Job Class. In this class we work on some fun tricks but also teach jobs that would help you as a service dog. It is a fun relaxed class that will give you some things you could also work on at home. Also, the Walk and Train Classes through the winter will help you work him in different locations and businesses.

I have a 5 yr old male lab not neutered. Very little training. Very food and human motivated. Do you train dogs like this. How many can attend the class
You couldn't find anyone to help you with your furbaby for any reason!!

Jan will most definitely help you and your dog! I've seen miracles happen with aggressive, nervous, shy, and formerly abused dogs.

Jan and her business are incredible. We adopted our first puppy and felt overwhelmed at first. Thankfully Jan and I crossed paths and started chatting. I mentioned some issues we were having with our lil guy and she gave me some tips. I felt so relieved someone cared and I was intrigued about her dog classes. I went and booked one immediately! My husband and I were both able to go and we were amazed even after the first visit. Jan kindly listened to our concerns, talked us through different practices, answered any question we had, and showed us hope that we would be able to get the hang of this whole dog thing, haha! Since starting with Jan at Live Oak, our dog’s obedience and behavior have improved, we are understanding him more, we feel less stressed, and are enjoying seeing our puppy learn and grow. Thank you Jan for your kindness and care!! You have impacted our family forever.
This training was so informative. I learned how my dog learns.

Jan Perkins knows her stuff! This is a women living her dream; sharing her passion for dogs. We especially appreciate that her training is primarily done without treats! What does a dog do when they're not hungry? Plainly they need to learn to obey because they've been asked! She teaches how to be alpha in a way that makes sense to the dog and to it's owner. She teaches because of her love and devotion to her canine friends! She's great with humans too! She was recommended by our veterinarian and several associates...
