About Jennifer Schneider, B.A. CPDT

I work with all ages, all breeds, all mixes, and all personalities of dogs.
I love seeing dogs who were previously fearful or reactive, learn to live and thrive in social settings.
I love seeing dogs become active participants in training.
I love seeing that lightbulb moment when a dog or their owner figures something out for the first time.

My animals: I have had many breeds of dogs over the years, from Terriers to Shepherds to Labs. I always have at least 6 cats in my home, and usually an array of small animals. Each animal teaches me something new, something challenging, something that pushes me to learn and progress.
