  • Much Happier, Obedient Boy
    I have a large 1 year old German Shepard that was dealing with fear based aggression, and some major fence fighting with the dog next door. After spending 6 weeks with Johanna, I can honestly say each issue was addressed and totally cleared up! He has learned manners and is a much happier, obedient boy. I learned so much myself and feel much more confident handling him! I would absolutely recommend Johanna to anyone and in fact I already have!

  • She is Learning!
    Johanna… I have been working very hard with Izzy, AND she is LEARNING. I absolutely love what you are doing with us. You are absolutely fantastic! I was raving about you at Petco when I stopped by for a grooming appt. Two ladies wanted your number. I hope they reach out to you. I need you to bring some of your business cards for me when you come by.

  • A Completely Different Dog!
    Hope all is well! I just want to give you an update about Sweet Pea. She is doing so amazing! She still goes to work with me everyday. She’s with us 90% of the time. Everyone that meets her absolutely adores her. She is very well behaved and obedient. She’s a completely different dog compared to how she was when we adopted her in December. We’re so thankful and blessed to have her in our family. Thank you so much for your help.

  • A Phenomenal Job
    My sister said she wishes you lived here (while visiting in California), so you could train her labradoodles, since you did a phenomenal job. She so impressed by the difference in Shoney. Can I post on your Facebook or anywhere else about how wonderful you are? I just had to share how impressed everyone is with Shoney. I know I worked with her, but it was you and your skills that made this trip and staying here with Shoney far more wonderful.

  • Extremely Knowledgeable & Experienced
    Johanna is a fantastic trainer! We cannot recommend her enough! We went to Johanna for training with our 3 year old female German Shepherd. She had fear-based aggression and lots of anxiety. She would lunge, growl, and bark at other dogs. She was also terrified of most people. It was almost impossible to take her on walks. With Johanna’s help and expertise, she completely changed our dog! Johanna is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. It’s clear from how she approaches training that she truly cares about the long-term well-being of the dogs. She balances positive reinforcement with discipline and obedience, when necessary. She really goes above and beyond with checking in on progress and tailoring her training to the dog’s personality and the owner’s goals. We now can walk with our dog on and off leash, she’s much better with other dogs, and we have techniques to use when she gets anxious. Johanna was the best! We are so grateful. Highly recommend.

  • So Positive & Encouraging
    We had the most amazing experience with Johanna! From the moment we met Johanna, she was so positive and so encouraging. Within one short lesson, we were already seeing a huge improvement with our sweet boy. And, not only did she help to correct the problems we were having, but she also addressed numerous other areas – giving us an amazingly well-mannered boy. We are so thankful for Johanna and just can’t recommend her highly enough! She is a joy to work with. Her love for the dogs is so evident, as is her passion for giving dogs and their owners the tools they need to thrive. Johanna is simply the best!

  • Exceeded Our Expectations
    Johanna is truly amazing! In just a short amount of time, she taught us everything we needed to know for our lab. I am now able to walk her with no issues, she no longer jumps on people, she comes in when she is told, and so much more. Johanna is very knowledgeable and has exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her!

  • Life Changing is Not an Exaggeration
    After several months of training sessions at a major retailer, online tutorials, and research, we had still made little progress in getting our puppy to “good roommate” status. That is when I found Johanna. Johanna’s extensive knowledge and experience was exactly what I needed. She provided me with breed specific training tailored to my dog. Life changing is not an exaggeration of the progress we’ve made in 6 short weeks. I am a better dog owner and my dog is a better behaved companion. Thank you Johanna!

  • Patient and Really Helped Train ME
    Johanna is a great coach to work with, she is patient and really helped train me to be a better pet owner for my Charlie boy. Charlie was having issues with fear aggression. After our training was completed, I was able to have strangers come into our home without Charlie growling or snapping at them. Charlie also learned a few more manners that had been difficult to teach as he is a very spoiled puppy. He is a much better boy all the way around and our other puppy has picked up on the training as well. I highly recommend K-9 Coach to anyone looking for training, it is money well spent!!!

  • What a Difference Excellent Behavior Makes!
    Johanna has helped us so much. Great training has helped us truly love every moment with our Ember. What a difference excellent behavior makes! I can’t imagine trying to figure it from all the conflicting advice on YouTube and well-meaning friends. Do yourself and your dog a favor, hire K9 Coach!!!

  • Meghanns dog Zeke and other petsCan’t Thank You Enough
    Just wanted to extend another thank you to you. We have been taking Zeke out to BLM frequently over the last week. His recall is phenomenal and he seems so much happier. We also captured this photo the other day…I never thought Zeke would get along with all of our other animals. We can’t thank you enough for all that you helped us with!

  • Honestly Changed my Dog
    Hi there, Johanna! It’s Katie and Lukas! I wanted to drop you a quick little note to thank you for all you did for me and Lukas last summer. The training and tips you gave me honestly changed my dog and the relationship we have. Lukas is nearing his second birthday, and he is a completely different dog than the one I bought a year ago, and it is all thanks to you. For a week at Christmas, Lukas was around about 20 people and 3 different dogs, and he was the most well behaved of everyone – dogs and humans included. I can take him anywhere and everywhere. My brother and sister in law have a newborn baby, and I was a little worried about taking Lukas around him, but Lukas did wonderful – so sweet and gentle. I can’t thank you enough for everything! We are still considering joining the GSD Sunday Training Crew, so maybe we will see you sometime soon.

  • Well Behaved Little Pal
    Johanna, thanks so much for all your encouragement and training. I was really getting to feel hopeless with his training until we met you. You have made it easy on both of us and especially enjoyable for Okie. I sure enjoy my nice, well behaved little pal now.

  • Patient, Helpful & Encouraging
    Johanna is great! She is patient, helpful encouraging and so much fun to work with. After a couple of lessons we moved beyond where I imagined we could get in the entire 6 week course. I would recommend talking with her if you need some help training your dog.
