I've been an on/off client of Jenny's amid post-pandemic, late 2021. Her dog walking services are great with a scheduling app to help communicate services requested and status updates. A few months ago, when she sent out an email blast saying she was expanding her services into specialized dog training 1-on-1, I was very excited to get on board, and it did not disappoint! She makes the experience very personal, fun, and all-around great person to work with and I learned so much from her and her team. As a dog owner, I'm happy with her service and look forward to continued business. Talk to her if you want to make a personal training plan for your dog and she'll help you out!

Seventh Heaven has been fantastic to work with! Since August, Jenny has made 6 in-house visits to work with our dogs Tank and Moe. In the past couple months we have seen positive progress, especially with our miniature Dachshund Moe. Jenny is very easy to work with, flexible, and very good with planning/ preparing for our sessions. We also appreciate her easy to follow training drills, and the feedback she provides regarding our questions/concerns. We would recommend Jenny as a dog trainer!

Currently working with Seventh Heaven/Jenny and our newly adopted foster dog. Great experience for both humans and hound. Highly recommend.

Jenny does fear-free training and is amazing with our dog, Marvin! She breaks down all the concepts and lessons in a very clear, understandable way, and she shows us how to practice them with Marvin. I was determined to only train Marvin in a fear-free, non-aversive way, but had some scepticism that it would work for all training concepts. Jenny has shown us that it absolutely works, and it just takes a lot of repetition, treats, and dedication. Rather than being harsh and stressful for Marvin, training sessions are more like games, and to top it all off, they help build his trust in us and help us continue to bond with him.

Jenny is truly a Dog Whisperer! I am so pleased with the progress my 2 dogs have made in just a few sessions. My husband says, it has changed the dogs! She is a fantastic problem solver and I was able to build the skills together that she taught us and get my dogs to greet our neighbor without jumping on them! I am so grateful that a friend recommended her and I feel like we all learned so much from her! Her training is so much better than watching a video or reading a book. Do not hesitate to contact her, the training experience she creates is so valuable!

Jenny has been a terrific trainer for my reactive pup. She is very flexible and has allowed me to design training around his specific triggers. Just having her accompany me on walks to observe my skills and make personalized recommendations has been invaluable in building my confidence. I look forward to continuing our work together and enjoying the improvements I see in my pup.

Jenny is a fantastic trainer, patient and knowledgable. She is straight forward, ensuring we (Leia and I) know exactly what we need to do and give us "homework" to make the training stick. LOVE HER and having her come to our place makes it convenient!
