Jabula Dog Academy

We had a wonderful experience with Jabula and our dog’s trainer, Robert! He always kept us up-to-date with Manny’s progress and built a great relationship with him. He was everything you could want in a dog trainer, like Cesar Milan—positive reinforcement, a calm demeanor, and overall effective teaching! We sent Manny there for board and train because his anxiety was causing his behaviors to escalate once he got comfortable in our home. They were becoming totally unmanageable and the only way we would be able to live peacefully with him was if we all had some direction. I regret to admit I thought he might need to be sent off up North to hunt or something. We were a little skeptical because Manny had to stay an extra week and Robert himself told us it wouldn’t be the end of our journey w

We enlisted the help of Kate and her team at Jabula for our new (and very fearful) Great Dane puppy. They gave us some great pointers, and she did really well for basic commands and learning a bit about the world around her. Then she grew into her “teenager” phase and it was a whole new game… lunging at people when they were jogging past us, barking aggressively at dogs while on the leash, and becoming completely territorial over our house and yard. She was 100+ lbs and doing her best impression of Cujo every time we had anyone so much as approach the door, let alone come inside. We called Kate again, and after an evaluation, two intensive sessions, and some human education, we have seen a complete 180 in our girl’s behavior. We enjoy peaceful walks, have friends over frequently, and she h

Too bad my dog can't write the review. He loves this place gets excited after we turn the corner runs to the counter can't wait to get back to see his friends. Staff is kind and helpful and it's clear they care about all the pups. Great for daycare or overnight kenneling. Training is also available.

Before we engaged the professional services of Jabula- and got Kenan as his trainer- we thought we had made a mistake getting a lively shelter puppy for our retirement years. Our daughter was going to take him because we couldn't deal with his behaviors, chewing everything (including my wife a few times). Kenan gave US the training we needed to build on the excellent training program at Jabula. In two weeks, he and his team transformed Winston into a dream dog! We still keep his collar on since we don't have a fenced yard but he rarely needs it- voice commands work most of the time. He's a happy, well behaved boy who loves his home in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Training our dog at Jabula Academy was such a worthwhile investment!!

I took my dog to them for the two week board and train and that has been worth every penny! My boy is a 4 year old 110 pound dog that had struggled with reactivity and excitability. In addition to his better behavior in general, now I can take him on walks and he stays right by my side the whole time! Shout out to Maggie for helping my big guy!
