Let us do the teaching, so you can get to the reinforcing!
Send your dog to Camp Northern Bound K9! Each dog is different, which is why each program will be tailor made to fit your dog and achieve your goals. Your dog will play, train, and sleep in my home. By taking your dog out of his home environment, we can start with a clean slate where new rules and positive behaviors can be put into place.
*Behavior cases will require a minimum of 3 weeks
Stay and Train
Jenn and Northern Bound K9 are amazing. Jenn trained my Ollie, a giant breed puppy, when he was about 4 months old. He was extremely big for his age and full of energy! But a ball of love and fluff. Jenn treated him like he was her own. I had a shoulder injury that I needed surgery for so it was really important that Ollie learn not to pull. Jenn understood that Ollie was not just a pet, he was my baby. He would be sleeping with me. Traveling with me. Doing things with me. He is a member of my family. Jenn treated him and trained him like a member of her family. She talked to him with love and cares for him as if he was her own. So much so, that the love my puppy has for Jenn is adorable. When he hears her voice on a video or on the phone he gets so excited! It’s like he hears his girlfriend! But most importantly, Ollie is trained! We have done 2 or 3 board and trains that all coincided with work travel. I had Jenn train Ollie on the e-collar which has been so helpful for bringing Ollie to the beach off leash in the summer. Ollie is now 17 months, he follows all commands off leash, he is the sweetest most loving puppy. He is still silly and goofy. You have to do the homework! But Jenn give your dog the education and you the fundamentals! We’re already planning a refresher!!! Ollie loves his girlfriend!!

I was in a panic trying to find a trainer after my landlord gave me a warning about my rescue dog’s (Lola) aggressive behavior. Jennifer was a prayer answered. She took the time to understand the root cause of Lola’s issues, then developed a training program to correct the behavior. Most importantly, she taught me how to work with Lola, which was crucial to Lola’s transformation. Because of Jenn and her kindness, tenacity, genuine love of dogs, and experience, Lola is a changed dog. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

We can't recommend Jenn enough! She came to us highly rated from friends and did not disappoint. We wanted training specific to leash pulling and leash aggression with our 2 year old Samoyed. We did an individual lesson with her prior to committing to a 3-week board & train program that completely changed our dog's leash behavior for the better. We saw a huge improvement at the halfway lesson and now have little to no issues with pulling on leash as our pup is happy to walk beside us in unison. We are so thankful to Jenn and her training practices.
-Danielle F.
Jennifer has been fantastic working with my rescue Sadie. She is responsive and available in between sessions and is clearly in our corner to make sure we have our best life together! Jennifer’s balanced training methodology has helped Sadie and I so much on our journey. Sadie’s time during her board and train helped her so much and it is all thanks to Jennifer.
-Lindsey P.
I will never forget the day Jenn came to meet Tucker. I said “this dog is awful!” but Jenn took him out for a lesson, brought him back an hour later and Tucker was a changed dog! He walked into the house, went straight to his bed, and just went to sleep. He was so tired! Within a few sessions, we saw a huge improvement! I 110% recommend Jenn, and Tucker misses her dearly!
