TESTIMONIALS
“Janet is a true expert”
- Hannah F.
Janet is an incredible asset and a true expert in the dog training field. Experts do not come by very often. Her wealth of knowledge and decades of experience shows through in her guidance and deep understanding of how dogs think, communicate, and learn. Upon bringing our new puppy home, we researched a variety of trainers. We were so happy to find and get to work with Janet! Working with her has proved to be the best foundation we could have ever imagined! She has not only trained our puppy but takes the time to educate us, answer our questions and help us navigate the many stages of puppyhood. She gives homework- do it, you won't regret it. Working with Janet Willhite will set you and your dog up for success for years to come. Her approach makes happy dogs!!
“We can already see a difference after three sessions.”
- Erika E.
I highly recommend Janet at Spot On for puppy/dog training! She is so patient, knowledgeable and engaged in the process that she has developed. The Puppy Training Academy has had such a positive impact on our dog and we can already see a difference after 3 sessions (3 more to go). Janet is the best and the staff at Spot On is wonderful! It is clear that Janet has a true love of dogs and is passionate about the work she does. She has made a great connection with both our dog and us!
