My puppy learned so much

As a first time dog mama, I was so lost and reached out to High Five Animal Training since they were recommended by Friends for Life. Joanna helped me tremendously in training my new baby. She helped me understand dog behavior and had a TON of wonderful recommendations and resources to help me with my puppy's training. My puppy Zelda has really learned so much since she started training with Joanna and I would highly recommend reaching out to High Five Animal Training if you need help with training your baby.

My dog is responding so well to instructions

I did training with High Five Animal Training with my new Chihuahua to help me teach him how to focus on me and come when called. It was a great session and by the end of it, I felt more bonded with my dog and he was responding so well to instruction. On top of that, Jo is just a great person to work with. She loves animals and understands sometimes it's the humans who need some training :).
