Jane Book's Dog School

I've been training with Jane Book's dog school for just under a year now, starting with her puppy class and continuing through beginner and advanced obedience, as well as beginner scent work. I'm currently in the middle of advanced scent work, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Jane truly gets dogs and how to train them. Her knowledge and experience are evident in everything she does, clearly coming from years of working with dogs. She's easily surpassed her 10,000 hours of training, and it shows. Her approach is thoughtful, effective, and tailored to each dog’s unique needs. The progress my dogs have made under Jane’s guidance is incredible, and the classes are both fun and challenging. Jane's passion for what she does is undeniable, and her dedication to her clients’ success is impressive. I highly recommend Jane Book's dog school to anyone looking for quality training from a true expert. Five stars without question!

We have had such wonderful time working with Jane and her team! Our dog Molly was struggling with anxiety around other dogs and leash manners. In a few short sessions we have seen a reduction in stess both Molly’s and mine as well as gained practical tools to implement at home! We are excited for to continue working with Jane :)

Jane and here team are so wonderful and helpful. Being given the opportunity to sit in on a class and see how they work was truly a fantastic experience. We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon with our puppy.

In November 2022 we added a new lab puppy, Kayce, to our family. Kayce is a big boy with boundless energy, curiosity and zoomies! Many years ago my husband had 2 labs who had gone through training with Jane. Both Coal and Scout were amazing, well mannered dogs so I booked Kayce in for junior puppy classes hoping to get some help on how to manage "GoodboyKayce". I cannot begin to recommend Jane Book Dog School highly enough. Mere words honestly can't do justice to the care, the attention, the positive reinforcement and the passion that each member of her team delivers at class and at camp. I, we have learned so much from the patient, caring advice and hands on learning that we continue to do with Jane, Leann, Corin, Catherine and the rest of the team. Corin, Catherine, Leann and Jane are all incredibly patient with us owners who only want the best for our dogs so they will be well mannered, happy members of our families and our community. On a personal note, with all the years of experience that Jane has had dealing with a wide variety of dogs, she was able to notice that Kayce had a lump that didn't sit right with her. She suggested that I take Kayce to the vet to get looked at. Thank goodness that I brought him the next day to be looked at. Kayce had an extremely invasive tumour that had spread and wrapped around muscle and was half way through his stomach wall where it would have attacked his organs. He would not have survived. Kayce underwent an intense surgery followed by a long recovery and is in amzing health now. All thanks to Jane Book!

This review is long overdue! We rescued a 4month old Shepard/husky from northern Manitoba. She was found in woods and needed a lot of love and training. Jane and her team taught us the skills as first time dog owners that we needed to build a strong relationship with Freyja. She was highly reactive and didn’t trust any people. After classes, pup camp and lots of support from Jane, Leeann, Corin and Heather we now have a dog that loves to snuggle with anyone, can play with other dogs and loves to learn new things. She is thriving in scent detection and may pursue competitions! Jane and her team use positive reinforcement in their training and genuinely love what they do. (They are even a phone call away to walk you through some strategies on those tough puppy days when everything is going wrong lol!!) Freyja will continue her learning through the many programs Jane offers and will continue to join pup camp for some extra fun 🐾 thank you for all you have done to help support us with raising Freyja!!
