What people are saying.

  • “After over a year of failed attempts to properly introduce my cats, I came across High Five Animal Training a decided to give it a try. From day one the experience was amazing. Joanna is a pleasure to work with and is super knowledgeable. She visited the house to see the cats, discuss the concerns and goals, explained the commitment on the owners end, and we went from there. She accommodated to the cats needs and provided a lot of very valuable information and details. Throughout the process, you truly learn more about your cats behaviors, and you understand more about what your cats might be reacting too, and how to approach and address the behavior. All cats are different, and she clearly communicated the tools needed to reach our goal. Lots of positive reinforcement, love, patience and persistence, but we reached a very happy ending. Milos and Sofia now “hang out” and a lot of time together. The goal was for them to tolerate each other, but we believe that we achieve more than that! Thank you again Joanna and High Five Animal Training. Could not have done it without you! Highly recommended to anyone seeking expert support when introducing a new kitty to an older cat.

  • “Joanna has completely transformed my threenager, hyperactive, stubborn husky. I can now walk her without being dragged through my neighborhood. I have recommended her to several friends and continue to use her as issues with my other dogs crop up.”

  • “Jo is the best dog trainer I have worked with! She has helped me tremendously with my reactive puppy. I am now a more confident pet parent thanks to Jo!.”

  • We found Jo after multiple attempts to find someone that would work with our puppy, schedule and husband's uncertainty that we actually needed a trainer....we did!!! She came bearing not only treats and positive mindset that with time and patience, Cheyenne was trainable, but also listened to concerns I had and offered reasonable and realistic ways to address them. Her ability to adapt training tips to each dog and household is great and her reminder to acknowledge the puppiness (not sure that's a real word, ok) in our dog definitely goes a long way. I'm definitely glad we made the investment in selecting Jo to train me, my husband and Cheyenne. Her mantra should be #patience

  • I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Jo. I have a recently adopted two year old cat who was keeping me up all night with various behavior issues. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep him and skeptical this would work. After just one day using Jo’s recommendations, I was able to sleep through the night and could tell my cat was much happier. She’s a miracle worker. If you have any behavioral issues at all, I would highly recommend working with High Five Animal Training. It was easy, evidence based, and Jo was more than available for all of my questions.
