I'm a Positive reinforcement trainer, but, I trained my first dog in the 70's using aversive tools. I do NOT use aversive tools such as shock, prong, or choke collars, no force or intimidation techniques anymore, we're in the 21st century not the 70's. I help you work with your dog, try and understand and bond with them, and live in a mutually beneficial relationship. I'm an Accredited Area Trainer, mentor, at the North Sacramento Ca. PetSmart at Truxel Rd and I-80. I can start pups at 10 weeks old with 1 set of puppy shots from a vet; this helps start the critical socialization (Critical stage: 3-4 wks to 16 weeks old) all dogs need to try & become a well-rounded individual, trying to avoid fear, shyness and aggression that may happen in their development if not exposed to 100's of people/dogs & things. during the critical socialization stage. We also have a beginner class for dogs over 5 months old. We teach basic manners that all dogs should have to be a good dog in the community, & in your home. I'm also an approved AKC CGC evaluator if you'd like to achieve this award with your dog. We have 3 levels of manners, + a 1 hour, pet parents only, Potty training seminar, that can help you before you even get your dog, we do private 1 on 1 classes, and a trick & now Brain Games class to go further and have fun with your dog. We do not work with aggression, or work with separation anxiety cases, but I do have referrals to local qualified trainers, that do, if you have this issue. Come watch the class, I'm surrounded by glass, so you can see and hear what is going on, I have nothing to hide.

I approach every dog and person as an individual-- providing thoughtful, compassionate, practical, and science-based training and behavior modification. I encourage building trust with your dog, keeping training fun, and celebrating small victories. I'm also a Fear Free Certified Trainer and apply this approach and philosophy to all training situations. Muzzle training and cooperative care are some of my favorite things to train.Most of my work has been with rescue dogs. I've worked in animal welfare, in a shelter setting, since 2013. This experience has given me the priceless opportunity to work with *literally* thousands of dogs and cats. They come from a variety of backgrounds, in all ages, breeds, shapes, and sizes, with a wide range of behavior and medical issues. Many of the animals I've worked with come from cruelty or hoarding cases. Working hands-on with so many different dogs in a stressful shelter environment has been an invaluable and on-going learning experience for which I am very grateful.I'm currently offering in-home private training in the North Georgia/Metro Atlanta area through Alan's K9 Academy. Please mention Janelle when requesting an initial assessment.

Frequently asked questions about dog training

How much does dog training cost?

Dog training costs vary by type and location. Group classes typically run $50–$200 for a multi-week session. Private sessions range from $50–$150 per hour. Board and train programs can cost $500–$2,500+ per week depending on the trainer and length of program.

What dog training methods are most effective?

Positive reinforcement is widely considered the most effective and humane dog training method. It rewards desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones. Look for trainers certified by organizations like CCPDT, IAABC, or Karen Pryor Academy.

How long does dog training take?

Basic obedience typically takes 4–8 weeks of consistent training. Behavior modification for issues like aggression or separation anxiety may take 3–6 months. Every dog learns at their own pace — consistency and practice between sessions are key.

What certifications should a dog trainer have?

Look for trainers certified by CCPDT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer), IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants), or the Karen Pryor Academy. These certifications require demonstrated knowledge and adherence to humane training standards.
