Four Legged Scholars LLC

I am so thankful for the experience my dog and I had with Four Legged Scholars. We did training over Zoom and I would now never do it any other way. Margo (my dog, American Bulldog) is so much happier and calmer now that I understand what she’s feeling and how to help her increase confidence, which translates into behavior issues being resolved. Great experience, I would highly reckoned.

We have trained 3 of our family dogs over the years with Johanna. Most recently we've done online zoom training with our miniature bull terrier Bean for resource guarding. Bean's behavior over the past 8 weeks has improved dramatically. Johanna is very helpful and thoroughly explains the "how" and the "why" we do certain things and I can't reccomend her enough.

12 years ago I got a puppy and quickly realized I was in over my head. I wanted to have a good, well trained dog, but I was overwhelmed by methods and my puppies behavior. I joined the four legged scholars puppy training with my little 4 month old puppy Bowie, and saw immediate understanding with the clicker work. It gave us this incredibly ability to communicate and she excelled. We went on to take several courses that established general obedience, helped me turn a STRONG leash puller into a loose leash master (I took that course twice because it was a huge issue for us and I NEEDED help and reassurance from Johanna that I could do it) as well as skill class, that helped solidify a beautiful relationship between us. Learning clicker shaping allowed me to confidently teach complex and u

My 2 year old doodle was struggling with people walking by the house, barking incessantly, tugging on walks, improving recall when off leash and , for me, how to be a better more engaging human for my buddy. The personalized, online sessions exceeded all my expectations. The review of video homework sessions was awesome. We saw improvement in each of the priority areas and I developed real, tangible, lasting skills/tools to be a better pet person. Thanks Johanna!

This is our second round of training with Johanna! Our Bullmastiff Abbi is different from our previous dogs, and we knew Johanna would be able to help us. We reached out and were in excellent hands! Johanna was able to redirect our training efforts, majority of sessions were held virtually and supported with videos of us training Abbi. We will keep using Johanna no matter where life takes us. Her love and compassion for our puppy, and us, come through in every interaction. We are in a much better place and understanding of Abbi after working with Johanna!
