Day Training

I bet you’re looking for a dog trainer because you want someone to teach your dog whatever skills are necessary to stop a problem behavior or improve his overall manners. I also imagine that you expect the professional trainer to do most of this work, after all TRAINERS ARE THE PROFESSIONALS and that’s why you called! Day training is the perfect option for you! In the traditional training situation whether it be a class or private session, the trainer is actually acting as a coach. She teaches YOU how to teach your own dog. This is a great option if you’re interested in training dogs as a hobby but otherwise it’s often a frustrating situation that costs you time and money.

Day Training Sets Up The Owner,
The Dog and The Trainer To Succeed.

How Day Training Works

We always schedule an initial consultation to determine your goals, any special circumstances you may face, and if day training or traditional coaching is the best option for you and your dog. If both the client and trainer determine this is a good fit we will set up a weekly schedule. The trainer comes to your home for one hour, two to five times a week to work directly with your dog. At the end of the week there is a transfer session at which time the trainer teaches you the necessary skills to maintain that training. Yes, there is always some amount of effort the owner must put into training but NO, you do not have to learn to be a trainer yourself!

What Our Clients Say…

  • "Over the past several years, our family has had some pretty complex issues to work through to create canine and human harmony in our home.  Throughout these times, I have often relied on the wisdom and guidance of Jennifer King.  When people think of canine education, they may think of an obedience class, teaching your dog to do or not to do things.  True Connection Canine Education is so much more than that...Jennifer teaches you to have a fulfilling relationship with your dog through developing an authentic connection.  With an extensive scientific knowledge of canine behavior and keen intuition, Jennifer holistically assessed the needs of our family and provided an honest and realistic picture of what needed to happen to create daily balance for all creatures involved.  With warmth, compassion and humor, Jennifer provided guidance, training and support as we worked through the many stages of restoring balance to our multi-species home.  Working with Jennifer has not only improved our relationship with our dog, there has been a lot of wonderful personal and family growth in the process.  For all of these reasons and many more, I give Jennifer King and True Connection Canine Education my seal of approval!"

  • "I approached Jennifer for help with my highly reactive dog, who had become so reactive I was uncomfortable walking her anywhere, including in my own neighborhood. Upon meeting Jennifer, my dog sensed Jennifer’s kind soul and instantly fell in love with her. Jennifer took the time to get to know me and what my concerns were; she thoroughly evaluated Taylor’s personality in order to identify the triggers for her reactivity. After identifying the issues that needed to be corrected, Jennifer provided me with a reasonable plan of action and timeline for what we both hoped would be noticeable improvement. Taylor and I worked with Jennifer for several months and I was amazed at the the transformation in my dog and the reduction in her reactivity. We met at multiple locations to expose Taylor to new and different environments and during each training session Jennifer provided me with instructional tools and cues that built on previous concepts. This kept Taylor motivated and interested to improve and the tools/instruction Jennifer provided were also practical to use on a daily basis. Jennifer also explained how to continue with the tools we’d learned to refresh Taylor’s memory and reinforce positive behaviors. I was very pleased with the progress we made in each training session and Taylor is now a manageable dog that can be walked with confidence. I highly recommend Jennifer––she was an exceptional trainer to work with. Furthermore, I can say without reservation that Jennifer is very knowledgeable about how a dog’s mind works and was an excellent communicator with both Taylor and me. She was also quite generous about accommodating my schedule."

  • "When my friend recommended me to Jennifer, I was a clueless and baffled first time dog-owner who had just spontaneously adopted a 3 year old trembling, terrified little fur baby.  After one meeting with Jennifer, I felt like there was hope. She assessed both of us and reassured me that there was hope things would get better.  She then worked with both of us in such a compassionate and fun way, giving us a sense of reassurance and guidance.  Lady Godiva and I have been together over a year now and she is a loving, cuddly little girl and the best friend I've ever had.  Without Jennifer's help and reassurance, I think we'd both still be clueless and trembling. Thank you Jennifer!!!"
