For Reactive and Aggressive Dogs

Embarrassing to Excellent Programs

How dog training packages with High Five Animal Training work

 

Step 1
Get in touch

Let’s talk! Ahead of picking your training package, we’ll schedule a call to discuss your dog, situation, and figure out the best path forward.

Step 2
Initial consultation & getting to work

Once we’re all set and scheduled, we’ll meet to establish initial training management, rules, & techniques. Based on that initial meeting, we will then discuss the best package for you and then move forward with continued training - setting the path to your training goals.

Step 3
Continued Support

We’re here to help. Achieving lasting behavior change can take time! We’re here to provide a safety net while your dog’s team is working hard.

I feel confident

After working with High Five, I feel confident I can communicate with my dog. Joanna showed me how my actions influence his behavior, and gave me step by step instructions to change both. When I have questions or problems, she gave me prompt, practical feedback (and I had LOT of questions!) Best of all, I could tell my dog was happier and more confident in the first two weeks, and so could my friends and family.

A happier and less stressful relationship with our girl!

Jo was a welcomed face in our home... especially by our sweet pup, Daisy! She helped us learn techniques to encourage Daisy to better listen, use energy productively through mentally stimulating games, and calming techniques to let her understand it was time to relax. I always say that Jo is not JUST an animal trainer, but a people trainer too, because she taught me so many lessons in building a happier and less stressful relationship with our girl!
