Avant Canine Training

Praise The Lord, JanNean! Sorry that it has taken me a minute to post a review on Unilocal!I certainly want to document my experiences with you. What sold me on you was how every dog that I brought you in contact with seemed to leap for joy when you entered the room. My Dad’s dog, Salem is an experience that I will always remember. All of my Family members were pleased with your intellect and knowledge of many breeds. You knew their temperaments and what strategies worked best. Your group classes are a must. It creates a nice network for other dog owners and allows for our dogs to become acquainted.
I read your other reviews and unfortunately, you will have some that you cannot please. Trust me, I understand as a fellow business owner. Just remember that God has the ultimate review and the final say. Keep running your business with the same fervor and integrity that I know you to have and your business will continue to thrive. Kudos to you and continued success. God bless you!

JanNean is very knowledgeable about dogs and I certainly learned a lot from her extending beyond training needs. She had a lot of great and creative suggestions for issues I was having with my dog. It is clear that she sees training as more of a calling than a job. JanNean is a pleasure to be around and was great with my dog. Unfortunately, my training was not as successful as I had hoped, but I hold myself accountable for any pitfalls within training. I have a breed that is harder to train and I am not the most assertive dog owner, so training continues to be a struggle. I learned some basics from JanNean and appreciate the time and hard work she put into assisting me. She also offered to bring treats for my dog and go out of her way to do extra helpful things.
A few things I will mention because I would appreciate being aware of them when reading a Unilocal review:
1. If you decide to be invoiced for the training 6-​pack, you will be charged a 3% PayPal fee (many people may be aware of this — I was not and it was not mentioned to me by JanNean before being charged). While that may not seem significant, that extra 10 bucks could have paid for a few bully sticks or a bag of freeze dried treats!
2. JanNean was not always the most punctual. NOW, I know this is because she goes above and beyond and will spend a significant amount of extra time during a training session — she is definitely not timing that hour — so if she is going over on one session, that will ultimately delay another. I did not care at all when this happened because I didn’t have any other obligations on the days I scheduled training, but again there are some people out there who would care.
3. On my initial consultation with JanNean, she said if she felt like she couldn’t train my dog, she would refer me to someone else who could. It was only on the second to last training session that she mentioned that I should pursue additional training such as a boot camp for better success with my dog.

We had a great experience with JanNean. She helped us so much with our new rescue dog Jackson. He is now completely well behaved and adjusted to us. We are proud to take him anywhere. Training with Avant was truly money well spent.
