About dog training with jeanne

What they offer

Dog training with jeanne is an in-home training service based in Tumwater and Rainier. For over ten years it has helped families teach their dogs the household rules, boundaries and the dog's role in the family, through one-on-one sessions in the dog's own familiar setting.

How it works

The trainer comes to the client anywhere within about 30 miles of Olympia, Rainier and Centralia. Sessions use a hear, see, do method: the coach explains each step, demonstrates it, and then the owner tries it, using verbal cues and hand signals. The approach starts from the dog's breed traits and behavior and uses positive reinforcement.
