We brought our 10-week-old puppy Taz to Janet for a 10-day board and train and couldn't be happier with the results. She works exclusively with positive reinforcement and focuses on building a real foundation rather than just surface-level compliance. Taz came home with solid basics, meaningful crate training progress, and a calmer response to our cat. Janet also made sure we understood how to maintain everything, which made all the difference.

Can’t recommend Janet highly enough! Our dog Boots came home a “new dog” - so much more calm, confident, and well behaved. The dog definitely enjoyed her time there and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

I can not recommend Janet enough for dog training and boarding- we sent our 12 week old maniac puppy to her and within a week and half she came back to us a totally new, calm, obedient and happy dog! Janet is communicative, patient and FANTASTIC at what she does, we are so grateful for your help!!

We had a truly wonderful experience with Pawz for Health board and train program. Before starting, our puppy was nipping our kids frequently, and we were honestly feeling overwhelmed and worried. The transformation has been incredible — she came home noticeably calmer, more attentive, and much better able to regulate herself around the kids. Janet was a huge part of what made this experience so positive. She was kind, patient, and incredibly educational in her approach. She didn’t just train our puppy — she took the time to help us understand what was happening and how to reinforce the work at home. As a family, we really valued this experience. It gave us confidence, peace of mind, and a much better relationship with our puppy. We’re so grateful for the care and expertise Janet brought to the process and would absolutely recommend this program to other families.

I'll start this recommendation with, just three days ago one of our neighbors who also just got a puppy has been having behavioral challenges, and I highly recommended Pawz for Health to them. While we sent our Puppy for the basics like crate training, walking nicely, sit, stay, what we really received was a significantly better behaved puppy, who now rarely chews on anything but his toys, and rarely is "mouthy" with new people. Highly recommend this program for people with new puppies.
