Jocelyn has been a great help for my dog's reactivity! I truly can't recommend her enough. She focuses on the internal feelings of the dog rather than just the behavior, so my dog and i can both have a positive experience when training with Jocelyn.

Jocelyn has been an absolute dream! We have an incredibly high energy husky/pit mix. Has been a journey to learn to work with her and address underlying factors that lead to unwanted behaviors.
Prior to this, we spent months learning all kinds of balanced/aversive training methods that provided lackluster results. Felt like we had an adversarial relationship with our dog and made the experience entirely miserable.
With Jocelyn, we have a heightened sense of understanding and patience. It’s been awesome to see our dog progress. We’ve never felt more confident.

Joss helped me and my senior chihuahua so much with basic training and stubborn separation anxiety! Her force free training style really helped my nervous baby feel at ease and he picked it up so much faster than with other trainers. Now he can be left alone and I can relax knowing he's not having awful separation anxiety anymore. Highly recommend Joss & Muttineer Dog Training!

My husband and I are beyond grateful that we found Jocelyn to help us with our newly adopted anxious fur baby less than a year ago. Eevee is a shy pup with big feelings, separation anxiety and reactivity. We had no idea how to support her. Finding a trainer who used positive reinforcement was an accident but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Jocelyn has taught us how to read our dogs behavior so that we can support her in becoming a confident dog. Her reactive classes have helped Eevee SO MUCH. I am in awe at how much she had improved. The biggest struggle for Eevee has been her separation anxiety. Because of Jocelyn, Eevee has grown leaps and bounds since we started the training. I especially appreciate Jocelyn going above and beyond by coaching us on how to talk about the anxiety with our vet, consulting with colleagues to ensure she is giving us the best advice and being super responsive to our questions. Her kindness, approachability and professionalism is unparalleled. If you need a trainer, Jocelyn is it!

Jocelyn is great with my boy! I first used her services when my Hewie was just a pup and had trouble with a leash. She was patient, helpful and very effective. Then I needed her again for some separation anxiety issues he had, and she was again super helpful and effective. I highly recommend her. Thank you so much!

Jocelyn has been so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in our sessions with our little rescue guy, Watson. We had been struggling and overwhelmed with leash reactivity, stranger danger, nervous and fearful behavior. She was able to guide us with game plans to manage and work on his behavior. We learned so much about dog behavior and body language. She was so patient and understanding with him. Her calm demeanor was very soothing for Watson and us as well! We’re all a work in progress, but we feel so much confident and capable on walks now and interactions. Just happy to have a better understanding of what Watson needs to thrive. Thank you, Jocelyn!

Jocelyn is an incredible trainer - an expert dog communicator, teacher and resource! Our high strung teenage pup had zero leash skills when we got her and now she’s really grasping how to loose leash walk, heal, and recall. Would recommend to anyone looking for positive reinforcement based training!

Jocelyn is an incredible trainer! Our puppy was completely obsessed with her from the first moment they met. We wanted to work with Jocelyn to get a handle on some adolescent puppy behavior and she gave us some great exercises that were easy to continue and really effective. She's a patient and extremely knowledgable teacher and had lots of useful personalized tips to help us grow closer with our pup and make it through a tough age. We'd love to work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer with a deep understanding of dog psychology who uses positive reenforcement for long term, rewarding results.

Jocelyn was outstandingly amazing with our 3 small dogs. They loved their sessions with her and she always made sure they were successfully progressing positively to reach set goals. She is very committed and provides valuable information, techniques and feedback on each session. She is very dedicated and keen to reach set goals. Thanks to Jocelyn our 3 small dogs have learnt how to respond correctly to our goals and we are extremely happy with their progress.I highly recommend Jocelyn to any dog owners who wish to teach their pet successfully via an enjoyable, positive and reinforcement manner.Thank you so much Jocelyn, you are amazing.

My partner and I highly recommend Jocelyn. Our medium sized dog Scrappy has people and dog reactivity and as first time dog owners we were often tempted by trainers who promised really quick results. Jocelyn made our boy feel safe as we learned and applied new skills, really respected his boundaries, and provided us with new approaches to desensitizing Scrappy to things that made him have "big feelings". I feel really connected to our dog through her training, understanding he just trusts us so much and isn't trying to be bad- and that we can help him feel less scared over time. We hope to continue working with Jocelyn!!

Like so many of the other reviewers, I cannot recommend Jocelyn more highly. She has been a miracle worker. We were working on general training with my 2 y.o. Border Collies rescue, Stella, when we realized that the problems she was experiencing were as a result of severe separation anxiety. During the first separation anxiety assessment Stella was unable to last more than a few seconds after I left before succumbing to crippling anxiety. After Jocelyn’s training Stella has been able to tolerate being left home for several hours. Jocelyn has always been both compassionate and professional, making the training sessions a pleasure. I so appreciate how she’s helped me provide Stella with a good life.

My experience with Jocelyn was positively admirable. My pooch, Rocky, warmed up to her gracious suggestions within minutes. She taught me the gentle tricks I needed to bring peaceful happiness to Rocky and myself. I witnessed a glee in his eyes when she would arrive and saw his attention to direction, his concentration, his general adorableness burst abundantly. The special event for me was Jocelyn taught me how to see Rocky in a very new and privileged way. Words are not sufficient for my gratitude toward her.I am sure I will stay in touch with her as time goes by which will also make Rocky very happy.Lastly, I wish everyone great success in their adventure. meg roseen
