Testimonials:


"I first met Jane as a student in one of her obedience classes in 1998.  I found Jane to be very relaxed, easy going and enthusiastic while instructing me and my extremely hyper Australian Shepherd puppy.  Jane then taught us the sport of flyball with the same enthusiasm.  Eleven years after our first class, I’ve searched out Jane’s experience for my second dog.  Jane is still the friendly, encouraging trainer that I remember.  She listens intently to assess your situation and implements the most appropriate training techniques for you and your canine companion.  Over the years, Jane has also broadened her knowledge by attending many canine seminars.  I would recommend Jane Smith to friends and family for their canine training needs."

I first met Jane when I took my 8 week old Border Collie, Maggie, to Puppy Kindergarten and then to Obedience Classes.  We were then introduced to the idea of Flyball to channel the high energetic drive of a Border Collie into a rewarding activity for us both.  Jane then brought another wonderful Border Collie into my life.   Quinn was rescued from someone’s swimming pool and close to drowning.  After many weeks of searching unsuccessfully for his owner Jane started looking for his forever home.  Well a year later I now have 2 dogs in flyball training, under Jane’s guidance and along the journey I found a wonderful new friend.

Jane always approaches any aspect of training with enthusiasm and a positive attitude, which brings out the best in the dog’s performance.  She has a great compassion for all animals and believes in gentle training methods and positive reinforcement. 

If you are looking to raise your dog with a positive, healthy attitude, to be part of your family, Jane is the trainer for you.

I met Jane eight years ago when I rescued my first dog Brandi. Jane taught Brandi’s obedience training and I have to say that Brandi was quite stubborn.  She was not responding well to being food trained so Jane introduced us to her Tuxedo Tugs.  From that class on Brandi would do anything to get that tug.

Even though it took us a little longer to get Brandi to respond Jane never gave up on us.  Brandi then joined Jane under her coaching of flyball.  Brandi thrived on this.  She has loved the sport from day one.  She loves to race and get her Tug at the end as her reward. 

Jane helped turn this very young, neglected, and scared pup become a perfect family pet, and a great flyball dog earning her 40,000 title and still averaging 4.2 second at eight years old.

Thanks for helping me get Brandi through some tough times.

Jane helped me get my second dog Cruzer.  Her Jackpot is the father of my Border collie.  Cruz has been one of the best additions to my life.  He is my happy spot, my best friend and gives the best cuddles.  I have a connection with him like no other.

I have been through both obedience and flyball training with Jane and Cruz and he has excelled in both.  Cruz has become a very stable and reliable flyball dog with his ONYX title now earned.  He loves Jane and always has a special cry of excitement and a kiss for her. 

She has also helped me be introduced to Homeopathic Medicine for my pets, cooking my own food for my dogs and using different training techniques.

I now have my third addition to my family who Jane also helped me get.  I have a littler mate to her MOY.  Dugan is currently being taught beginners flyball by Jane and he has also has done some socialization with her.

Thanks Jane for leading me towards my two beautiful boys and training all of my babies.  You have given me a happy home full of enriched dogs and family additions.

I've been working with Jane and flyball for the past 6 years.  She continues to help me train all my dogs in a happy and positive way.  She knows how to deal with individual problems and is constantly upgrading her skills.  I would recommend Jane for any type of situation.

This is Benny, my sweet beagle, whom I adopted from S.H.A.I.D animal shelter. I work at the shelter and we recommend Jane's class to the people who adopt dogs from us. I decided that Benny and I would take one of Jane's to see what it was like. We loved it. It was not only very fun but we learned many new things. Jane's class focus' on useful everyday stuff to help you train your dog into becoming a well mannered companion in and out of your home.
Benny and I had so much fun that we will be signing up for an advanced class.

Jane:

Just wanted to let you know that Stella took part in her first 5k run
(more accurately a walk/run) today in Caledonia.  We had a great time
(came in last!)  It was a joy to participate with her -- for a very
social 6 month old Jack, she is very well behaved.

I want to thank you for helping us get on the right track.  It is a
long journey and your guidance has made all the difference.
