Off Leash K9 Training

Jacqueline Zinnetti has done it again! A few months ago, we rescued our second dog Rocco, who is a shy and scared Bichon Frise that was impossible to control. Rocco was scared of anyone who got close to him, he would bark and growl nonstop. Jacqueline had already trained our first dog, Emilio, and she had done an awesome job with him, so we immediately contacted her to help us with Rocco. Even before training started, Jacqueline was available by phone to discuss Rocco’s behavioral issues and helpful tips. It only took Jacqueline 3 weeks to make Rocco the most confident dog ever. She took the time to get Rocco to trust her, which included feeding him by hand. As she did when she trained Emilio, Jacqueline kept us posted about how Rocco was doing by sending us pictures and videos of him following commands. Most importantly, Jacqueline cared for and loved Rocco as if he was her own dog. We highly recommend Jacqueline to everyone.

Jacqueline did an absolutely amazing job training our 11 month old pomsky Zara! We were having such a hard time training our puppy and ever since I talked to Jac the first time, she promised us she would do her absolute best with her. While pomskies are full of energy and love they are one of the most difficult breeds to train and I can easily say sending ours to Jac was the best decision we ever made. Prior to training, taking Zara on walks was so stressful as she was constantly tugging and distracted by every little thing on the way. We were always nervous and scared with her bolting out the doors; she had an overwhelming amount of energy and no idea how to focus and calm down. Now after spending 3 weeks with Jac she is so much calmer, walks by our side and has her full focus on us. The level of patience Jac had training our dog is incredible! Not only did she spend so much time and energy in training Zara, she has gone above and beyond in training us and helping us step by step via videos and follow up visits. I know for a fact that Jac will be there for us for the years to come even after the training for any questions or help we may need with Zara. As for the e-collar, we were a bit hesitant as most about using it on our puppy. Jaqueline made sure to help us understand how the collar works and how much it can really benefit our relationship and communication with the puppy. She made sure to have us hold and feel the collar and answer all our questions; and it has been a great tool in helping us communicate with Zara. Jac prioritizes the pups and her clients above all else. Once you are in it with her, she is there for you for the long run. She has always been quick to respond to any and all of our questions and has always set up time for us to walk through things in detail. As overwhelming as it can be having to send your pup away for 3 weeks, Jac will take care of your pup like her own. Thank you so much for everything you've done!!

Yes, let me take time out of my insanely busy life to try and hear what your automatic voicemail message is spelling out re: your special instructions and email, instead of you answering the phone like every other business on the planet is able to do. You don't take phone calls? lul wut??! I wanted to call and ask many questions and have a conversation about training in the future for my next dog. Very quickly realized that if I have to go through hoops to have a conversation with you then no thank you. No where on the website does it list the contact email or information, not even under their contact section! Lastly, their About trainers section tells the world nothing about their certifications just their life stories. Red flag central. The absolute audacity lol. Must be nice to live in a world where you are the main characters.

Jacqueline Zinetti is the absolute best!!! My girlfriend and I were having tons of issues with our Golden Retriever puppy and were absolutely at a loss as to what to do next. Lincoln was pulling on leash, not coming when called, barking non-stop when left alone, overall just not listening to us. We live in NYC right next to Central Park and he would drag us down the street on his leash anytime we went to take him to the park - it was terrible!!! We also could not leave our apartment at all because anytime we did he would bark non-stop, tear apart our rugs, etc. We were so discouraged and found ourselves so upset with our cute little pup all of the time which is not how we envisioned our relationship with our beautiful dream dog! AND then we found Jacqueline, our lifesaver angel!!! We were veryyyy hesitant about this whole process (I mean who wants to send their dog away for 3 weeks to a complete stranger?!) but that feeling was short lived. The second Jacqueline and I connected via phone to discuss issues with our pup, goals, etc. I felt instant relief. She took the time to really explain her board and train process to us and I could tell immediately that Jacqueline wasn't just a board and train 'service', this was her life and her absolute passion. We got to meet Jacqueline at drop-off and that was another moment where we were reassured that our pup was in great hands. I knew that we wouldn't have to worry at all about how our pup would be treated with Jacqueline - we knew she would treat him as if he were her own. And that's just what she did... During the 3 weeks, Jacqueline would send us pictures and videos of Lincoln's progress and how he was doing. She would always always find the time to get back to us if we had questions/wanted updates. When we picked up Lincoln in Northern Jersey, we were amazed by his transformation. We couldn't believe that this was the same dog that was dragging us down the NYC streets just 3 weeks ago! Now it was our turn to be trained. We spent several hours with Jacqueline at pick up to go through everything (commands, how to work the e-collar, what to do and what not to do, etc.) She was sooo patient with us and helpful - I honestly think she would've stayed there all night answering our questions if we felt we needed it. Bringing Lincoln home to NYC was very overwhelming at first. Lots of distractions for Lincoln on the street, and we were still getting comfortable with the e-collar remote, so I'd be lying if I said it was easy. We were constantly sending Jacqueline videos and she would go through each and every video (second by second) and tell us what we were doing right and wrong. She actually facetimed us while we were walking and gave us guidance - our very own personal follow up session!! The point is, she truly is there to support you after the training is over and I believe that is invaluable (since I think more than half the battle is the owners being trained). We felt completely supported throughout the WHOLE process, and even now (our dog came out of boarding almost 3 months ago). Overall, I cannot stress enough how Jacqueline went ABOVE and BEYOND for Lincoln (and for us) in more ways than one during both his training and after. At this point, I consider Jacqueline a friend and someone that we will have in our corner forever! We are now able to take our dog everywhere with us and have the strong bond with him that we had always pictured - and for that, we are forever grateful to our favorite Aunt Jacq!!! I promise that choosing Jacqueline to train your dog will be the BEST decision you ever make!
