Peaceful Dog Leadership

I have a two-year-old Catahoula Bear who has always been extremely anxious. He’s fearful of almost everything, doesn’t like people, growls at anyone walking by, pulls on the leash, and barks excessively. I had tried all kinds of online training methods, but nothing seemed to help with his nervousness. After just two sessions with Jackie, we’ve already seen a big improvement. The growling has almost completely stopped, and the barking and leash pulling are gradually getting under control. Jackie gave us a lot of practical tips that have been a total game changer. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for effective, compassionate dog training.

We boarded our puppy, Benji, with Jackie at Peaceful Dog Leadership for 6 days while I recovered from surgery. Benji responded exceptionally well to Jackie upon meeting her, and I felt very comfortable during his stay. She sent updates, videos, and pictures throughout the week, assuring us he was in good hands. Afterward, she went above and beyond by personally returning him to our home to go over everything with our family. She even trained Benji to walk on our treadmill, which has provided me an alternative way to exercise Benji during my extended recovery. Jackie was very thorough to ensure we all understood and felt confident in the techniques she taught us. We've continued to see improvements in Benji and feel confident in our skills to correct any unwanted behavior. We highly recommend Jackie and Peaceful Dog Leadership for boarding and training.

I am going to chime in, too, even though it was my daughter's dog that had struggles. Among other behavior problems, the dog was aggressive - snarling, growling, and ready to attack any stranger. My daughter had tried so many things and other trainers and was not getting anywhere. Then the Lord showed us Jackie and we decided to give her a try knowing that if this didn't work, we'd need to rehome the dog and start all over with another one. Fast forward 2 months: we went to a garage sale with all sorts of strangers including big, burly men and all our dog did was sniff at their heels. There was no negative behavior at all. We are more than grateful. Thanks, Jackie. Janna B.

Setting up training sessions with Jackie was such a good decision. I have a mini goldondoodle dog who was traumatized by something and would randomly get aggressive because of being afraid of so many things including people and other dogs. I was about to rehome her because I was out of ideas of what to do. It was really stressful for me and my dog.Than I found Jackie and met with her. She is teaching me a lot about how to be a leader my dog can trust. My dog Willow has come a long ways. She is starting to become less fearful of things and I am hopeful with time that a lot of her fear will go away. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is struggling with there dog. She gave me hope my dog could change and has taught me so much.
