Expert Training for Car-Related Dog Anxiety
take the stress out of hitting the road with Jack and Jill Dog Training
Does this sound familiar?
Your dog cowers and runs if you look at them with keys in your hand.
You have to pick up your fully grown dog and wrestle them into the backseat.
They whine, pant, drool, pace, or bark for the entire trip.
Imagine…
Road trips to new places without the hassle
Quick drives to the trail head without the dread
Visits to the drive thru for the coveted pup cup
We’ll help you get there.

“I was blown away the progress and confidence I saw in Banjo in such a short time! I don’t think he’s ever progressed so quickly with any other course we’ve taken and I suspect it’s because Jill broke everything down into such manageable steps and incorporated such fun games/patterns that we both found enjoyable. I am going to take away so many good lessons from this course that I think can help us in other areas of training.”
“The Car Feelings class was a great experience. Jill was great at explaining concepts and provided clear instruction and guidance. Our dog is now able to confidently approach our car (which is HUGE given how afraid she was starting out), and we have a solid game plan to continue making progress.”

I have been working on my pup’s car issues for almost 2 years on my own and couldn’t figure out the next steps. Jill provided a number of additional things to work on that I hadn’t considered previously and she does it all with compassion and an emphasis on the dog’s comfort and welfare as they are going through the desensitization process.
