Jenna also has a passion for puppies. Puppies respond instantly to clicker training, and this, in turn, helps build their bond with their guardians. She loves how their owners light up when they see how smart their little ones are. She enjoys the whole process of training the basics: foundation behaviors like recall and stay, and showing people how these behaviors can be built upon over the course of their dog’s life. They are not only practical, but fun for dog and client alike.
She has taught a variety of classes at San Diego Humane Society and volunteered at Rancho Coastal Humane Society to teach other volunteers how to effectively train shelter dogs in an effort to increase successful adoptions. She enjoys helping newly adopted dogs settle into their homes and thrive!
Jenna continues to seek out and attend educational webinars, workshops, and conferences to learn from leaders in the training and behavior field such as Karen Pryor, Ken Ramirez, Susan Friedman, Patricia McConnell, Pat Miller, Kathy Sdao, Trish McMillan, and Michael Shikashio. Staying educated on the most up-to-date science on dog behavior and using the most effective and humane training methods are Jenna’s top priorities. She knows every bit of energy she puts into learning about dog behavior and training will pay out tenfold in her ability to help her clients.
