Five stars for Jean! My little dog and I just completed our fourth training session. She was just great with him and immediately identified several effective techniques that improved my dog's behavior. She also explained aspects of canine communication that helped me modify my actions to more effectively train my dog. Jean came to my house to work on specific issues related to charging the door after the doorbell rang, which produced a significant improvement. We also had some fun leash-training sessions outdoors and she also provided very useful handouts and video links. I now feel more confident and knowledgable about going forward on my own.

Was extremely rude and unsympathetic multiple times plus what she said about what was REALLY required for a pet to become a service dog was UNTRUE. EITHER WAS DISHONEST OR UNINFORMED. NOT a good sign!! . Said we needed to jump through all sorts of hoops to get the dog certified. NOT TRUE!! Found another service dog trainer who was honest with us. Definitely Could be a ploy to get lots of $$$$$ from folks good or not at her job. BE FORWARNED!

Jean is such a special person. She has been training my puppy with me to be my service dog for mental health. This is a very different type of service animal to an animal that helps with physical disabilities. It requires a lot of patience and understanding that every mental health disability is different. Jean has infinite patience and understanding. She is constantly checking in to make sure we are training things that will give me the support I need, while also teaching me how to love in a world where my disability is not outwardly visible. She really is one of a kind, and trusty cares about helping everyone she can!

Questions & Answers

I have a Jack Russel terrier puppy who is 2 months old, she's super smart & learns fast, but it can be hard to get her to respond to commands. I want to both find a good trainer and I want her to become a service dog. How do I go abt doing that?

I train in the San Mateo area Monday through Friday from 9 to 5 and my clients meet with me for one hour a week. Service dog training takes up to two years. The first step is to get a letter from your doctor on his stationary saying that you need the use of a service dog 24 hours a day to fully participate in life activities before I start to train a service dog. Usually the reason the dog doesn't respond to the commands is that he doesn't understand the signals from the owners. Communication and reading dog body language are covered in my first class. Give me a call if you want to pursue an evaluation of your dog for temperament and training. 650 593-9622

Do you guys accept appointments for education on Service Dogs, such as which breed is best for you, if you qualify, and how the process works?

Yes I offer a one hour consultation on the type of dog that is best suited for the disability tasks that the client wants to train the dog to perform. The client’s living situation, previous dog training experience, and client’s activity level are taken into consideration. I teach potential dog owners how to read dog body language and do temperament testing when they evaluate possible service dog candidates.
