 ____________________________________________________________________ Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity “Joellen is a certified pet dog trainer and pet behaviorist. I run a breed specific dog rescue and take dogs into our program to rehabilitate and make them ready for permanent homes. Joellen has consulted with us and provided written treatment plans and assessments for some of our more complex behavior problems. She is GREAT at what she does. Joellen clearly loves her work and her four legged clients. I am very glad that she is an expert resource for my team to turn to for helping under socialized dogs become wonderful, loving family members. Joellen has worked with our rescue shelties numerous times, some who come into our program with lots of baggage. Joellen has proven to give clear verbal suggestions for turning around unwanted behaviors and does a great job with written behavioral assessments and training recommendations. She is professional, thorough and accessible. A very capable dog trainer using positive training techniques who gets great results. I don't hesitate recommending Joellen for any pet owner or dog rescue foster home volunteer. Two thumbs up!!"

She was an excellent teacher. I was even more impressed with her when my dog started to lose his vision. She encouraged me to continue with agility and was very patient with me and especially with my dog. I have worked with her as an assistant. She's wonderful to work with and flexible depending upon what each dog requires. I have also brought my other dogs (shy, reactive) to her for agility training. Her training area is great.” Joy DalSanto Dog Training Assistant, Marin Humane Society (colleague) Client 2008 - present ___________________________________________________________________ Top qualities: Expert, Good Value, Creative “Joellen was prompt and courteous with respect to understanding our situation.
