DOG TRAININGWelcome to Jazzy Pawz-n-Wagz Dog Training!!!
Everyone wants their dog to be “the best dog ever” allow me to teach you how to work with your dog to become a well-mannered, well- behaved part of your family. I will coach you how to reinforce the training I provide to help your dog be “the best dog ever!” By using positive reinforcement, science-based, clicker training techniques, I will teach you how to communicate with each other through your body language to help minimize frustration on both ends of the leash. You will see the bond and connection of love and trust grow between you and your beloved pet. When you promote the human-animal bond through praise, toys, food and other forms of positive reinforcement dogs stay better focused, learn faster, stay calmer and adapt better.
Hi there! My name is Nanette
About me
My method of training is based on scientific learning theories, reward based and force-free training. i.e. Positive Reinforcement training.
Dog Trainer
I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer. I have been dog training for 8 years teaching basic manners behavior modification and shelter/rescue work. I use science-based theories and positive reinforcement ONLY. I do not believe a dog should be punished into or for a behavior. My mission is for you and your dog to live in harmony by learning to communicate with each other through body language.
I became a dog trainer graduating from Animal Behavior College in 2016 where I earned my certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer. (ABCDT)
(ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized school. My year-long commitment to this program provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and understanding behavior and its motives. I have hands-on experience training many different dogs in many different scenarios learning the different temperaments and behaviors of each dog. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT)
- I volunteered at a dog rescue from 2018-2022 training and walking dogs. Training gives them structure and a jump start in finding their forever home.
- I volunteered at an animal shelter for 9 months, training and walking dogs, while still in school.
- I was an intern for 3 months where group classes and puppy socialization classes were held
- I worked at a board and train facility for 5 months learning different ways to build trust and confidence with the dogs
- I work solely with private lessons and have had great success with the owners and their pups. **see testimonials and Google reviews.
I continue to work on my education in dog training by attending dog training conferences, trade shows and continuing education programs.
