TRAINING
Our expertise is working with young pups to get everyone on the right paw from Day 1. Yet we welcome all dogs of all ages. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks! It might just take a little longer to change some old habits. We do not work with aggressive animals but do welcome reactive or fearful dogs.
You can choose one-on-one training in your home, an in person class, virtual training or consultations, videos, or podcasts.
The Benefits of Training
Training classes teach you how to best communicate with your puppy. Group classes offer great opportunities for canine socialization, which is critical for their development. Organized training classes also provide an opportunity for your dog to socialize with other dogs. In classes aimed at earning the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy distinction, you’ll be able to get information on all of your puppy-raising questions including house training, chewing, and the most effective way to teach practical skills such as coming when called. AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy training is a natural lead in to the AKC® Canine Good Citizen® Program.
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT/COMFORT DOGS AND THERAPY DOGS
Jeannine loves training all levels and breeds of dogs but feels a special affinity for training dogs that “give back “ namely Therapy Dogs and Emotional Support or Comfort Dogs. The difference between these specialized dogs is therapy dogs work with everyone. They share their love with all ages of people from all walks of life. Emotional Support or Comfort Dogs work with one person similar to a service dog, but the training focuses on the dog physically hugging and being a calming influence for someone who could be experiencing anxiety, depression, or a difficult time. Therapy Dog training can be individualized or in a class. Emotional Support Dogs need to be trained privately.

What Our EDUPUPs Community Says About Us:
“Jeannine brought so much out and put so much into Ryder that he is able to be a dog - not a scared, unapproachable animal. Ryder LOVES her and so do we!”
— Sherrie Bovee
“… Now, when our son has an episode, Summit knows to go to him and give 'hugs'. She lays on his lap or chest and our son immediately calms down. We are forever grateful for what Jeannine was able to do for our family.”
— David DeConno
“Jeannine did a wonderful job working with our 115lb newfoundland "puppy" in her canine good citizen class. It was helpful to be exposed to a group of different dogs to help our big boy expand his social skills.”
