Report
Jenna Weiss is the best dog trainer we have ever encountered! One of our dogs would take the food not only off the table at dinner time, but out of a guests hands if he or she was eating a sandwich! No matter what we did, our dog would not stop. Then Jenna came into our lives and in no time (like one evening) our dog no longer ate from the table nor stole food from our guests hands or plates!!! It was a miracle.
Our second dog is a rescue and we think she may have been abused. She was afraid to jump in the backseat of the car and my husband needed to lift her. On time with Jena the dog jumped right in the backseat and was so proud of herself. We can never thank Jena enough for making our dogs lives and ours so much better!!! She is the very best!!!
