My Personal Dog Trainer

If you read nothing else in this review, read this: Jaime is worth every single penny—and then some. You’re not simply paying for a three-week board and train program; you’re investing in a lifelong resource who is genuinely committed to both your dog’s success and your family’s. The value you receive is truly unmatched. Looking back, our only regret is that we didn’t find Jaime sooner. My fiancé and I chose Jaime Juda for a three-week board and train program, and it was hands down the best decision we could have made for our 11-month-old Goldendoodle, Goliath. Before meeting Jaime, Goliath had spent six months in weekly daycare training with little to no meaningful improvement. We loved him dearly, but he was anxious, easily overstimulated, and struggled with behaviors we just couldn’t seem to improve. The transformation started immediately. On day one home, Goliath was already noticeably calmer, more focused, and more confident. The changes weren’t based on gimmicks or quick fixes—they were sustainable behaviors that have continued long after the program ended. Just as importantly, Jaime taught us how to communicate with Goliath so we could maintain and build on everything he learned. Many trainers promise ongoing support after training, but Jaime truly means it. She has come to our home multiple times, invited us back for follow-up sessions whenever we needed them, and has always made herself available to answer questions. We’ve never experienced customer service like this. Honestly, she’s more responsive than our own veterinary office—even during emergencies. People always say, “It takes a village to raise a puppy.” Jaime can fill that entire village by herself. We would recommend Jaime to anyone without hesitation.

Jaime is amazing! Our dog, Birdie, is so much more calm and sure of herself after working with Jaime in her 3 week board and train program. Not only does Jaime work with your dog, but she works with you to make sure you understand how the dog is thinking and the tools you need to continue the training at home. We would definitely recommend Jaime to anyone who is looking for dog training in the Chicagoland area!

Jamie did an amazing job with our dog, Molly! We enrolled Molly in Jamie’s board-and-train program, and the results were incredible. Molly learned so much during her stay, and we could see a big difference in her behavior when she came home. What really stood out was how Jamie didn’t just train Molly—she also trained us. She took the time to walk us through everything Molly learned and gave us the tools, guidance, and confidence we needed to continue the training at home. It truly set us up for long-term success. Molly did great, and it was clear she was well cared for while she was there. The whole experience was absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated dog trainer!

We were looking for an in-depth trainer who could reign in our rambunctious 6-month-old Golden Retriever, Phinley. Fortunately, we found Jaime and the results have been beyond our expectations. Beginning with our initial one-hour phone consultation, Jaime quickly identified traits that could be corrected. We began following her instructions after that meeting until we dropped Phinley off at her house a week later. We initially signed up for a 2-week session and with daily video and text updates we were able to watch his progress. When it came time to add week 3 of training, we didn't hesitate and are glad we did. After we picked up Phinley, he was disciplined, more obedient and easier to handle. Jaime followed up with daily inquiries as to his progress and with ongoing suggestions. She then came to our house after 10 days to see Phinley's progress and provide even more instruction. We highly recommend Jaime and will continue to communicate with her as his training progresses and improves.
