Meet Joanna, founder of High Five Animal Training

Hi there! I’m Joanna, founder of High Five Animal Training, and I’m so happy you’re taking the first steps to address your pet’s behavior. 

As a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA, Certified Control Unleashed Instructor, Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, Fear Free Certified Professional), I know just how important it is to trust the professional you’re hiring, and I want you to feel at ease when it comes to solving your pet’s behavior issues. 

More than getting troubling behaviors to stop, I’ve made it my personal ambition to give pet owners the necessary knowledge to understand why troubling behaviors occur, so you can successfully restore your pet to their affectionate, happy selves, and solve these behavior challenges - for good.
