Testimonials

We hired Janessa to help us train our very reactive Rottweiler named, Noon. We brought Noon into our family in November 2019. She was being socialized but when the pandemic hit in March of 2020 she suffered from the isolation and became very reactive and terrified of people. I decided it was time to try and help her get accustomed to people after watching her struggle and we wanted to take her home with us to Ontario where she would be meeting lots of people. Janessa really helped Noon and us. We understood how to deal with her reactions and we are also really well aware of how to avoid things that will set her off. She completed all of her training and. Has changed for the better in so many ways. She calms down much faster when she meets new people, she listens better, and walks much better without noticing every person around her. We were able to take her into hotels on our drive home and we had no issues at all. She lives a much happier life now and we understand how to help her when needed.
If your dog needs any kind of training, I highly suggest booking with Janessa.
Courtney Robitaille

We cant recommend Janessa enough! She has helped us with so many things such as: separation anxiety, kennel training, place training, and loose leash. We are so thankful for everything we have learned so we can help our puppy. She is amazing at not only training the dog but training the owners to train their dog successfully themselves. The use of clicker / positive reinforcement training was a huge success with us and we will continue to implement it in all training going forward. We are so happy we made the decision to work with Pawsitive Peaks and are forever believers in positive reinforcement training. Thanks Janessa!!
