“Thanks for all your help with Maggie. She has greatly benefited from your hands on training. Maggie now LOVES the water and we take her to the beach to swim regularly. This was an issue before your help with her. She is also very socialized and has a sweet disposition with other dogs. You have also taught Chris and I how to relate better with her and the other dogs around us. Keep up the good work!
–Chris, Nancy and Maggie, Ventura CA
Finally! A dog trainer with training in behavior therapy! Joan’s unique and highly effective methods and understanding of dogs, their social structures, and how they relate to people is a welcome and much needed addition to our dog-loving community! If you have a problem dog, don’t give up without consulting Joan. Better yet, start your puppies off right by enrolling in Inquisitive Canine puppy classes!
