Paws & Effect Pet Care and Dog Training

We loved it! We were taught force-free positive techniques to help our dog learn proper manners all while having fun. Janna was professional and great with our dog. We look forward to more classes!

Janna is great! We've had her stay at our house two different times taking care of both of our dogs. She provided excellent care, was very attentive to their needs and it was a nice feeling knowing we could be gone and things would be left in such good hands. It was so reassuring to have Janna's expertise when one of our dogs was not feeling well while we were out of state; she wasn't eating and Janna went out of her way to get special food from our vet to attend to her needs. So caring and talk about going above and beyond! We wouldn't hesitate to have Janna be in charge any time that we're gone...she's really the best!

My daughter and her dog recently took the Canine Good Citizen class at Paws & Effect and really enjoyed it. The instructor, Janna Light, was clear, patient, encouraging, and helpful. She worked well with the wide range of dogs and people in the class, and used excellent teaching and dog safety techniques. As a dog trainer myself, I am always interested (and maybe a tiny bit judgmental ; ) in other training methods. I found Janna's methods to be entirely positive, so that both the dogs and the people were successful and engaged. we will definitely take another class at Paws & Effect.

I am SO pleased with Janna's training approach which is based on POSITIVE incentive and reinforcement of behaviors. It was very important to me that I find a trainer who isn't so strict that my dogs obey out of fear or punishment but rather it is a fun and pleasant experience for them while they are learning. I trust Janna completely and highly recommend her services! She really knows what she is doing and is very pleasant to work with. My dogs LOVE her!

Janna is amazing with animals!! I had her watch my 5 month old puppy while I was on vacation for 8 days. Not only did she take great care of him, she got him on a potty schedule! He hasn’t had an accident in almost a week!(This is huge coming from a puppy that could pee 3 times in an hour!) I will definitely be calling Janna the next time I need a dog sitter! :)
