FirstBarkI have attended multiple classes given by Jenny. She did such a great job with my dog Maverick. He especially loves the field trips to Lowe’s.

My grandson had enjoyed reading to them and playing with them on many occasions, and they have comforted is in our grief and been valuable and much loved members of our community. Jenny Cole and My Shadow have THE answer to any dog issue you could ever have. She is an absolute expert in her field. Thank you, Jenny for sharing your talents and gifts with us!

Jenny is absolutely amazing. I took my 8 year old golden retriever, Clover, to Jenny's Canine Manners I class when she was less than a year old. We completed that class and then Canine Manners II, Canine Good Citizens, and Canine Pet Therapy classes. Everyone is always so surprised at all the things Clover knows how to do - sit, shake, bow, touch, "front", even smell! Jenny is a absolutely wonderful resource for dog training in our area and she is well worth every dollar she charges for classes!
