Hi there Norma Jeanne, Congratulations on teaching your 800th dog training class this Saturday. Quite a feat indeed. Dogs and dog owners owe you so much. Ultra mega woofs to you.
Dr. Ian Dunbar
Congratulations!!! It is difficult to believe that someone as young, beautiful and unscarred has gone through 800 combat skirmishes. A lot of them were probably fun as well. Again all the best.

Frosty is such a good puppy, the boys taught him a new trick last night. They taught him to jump over their back - it's adorable. I am so thankful that we did the Puppy dog training classes with you to get us on the right track with training. He responds so well with his listening, it amazes us sometimes! We are big believers in positive reinforcement, which is one of the reasons we chose the Puppy Power Dog Training School. Being a new dog owner, the skills we learned from the very beginning in dog training Frosty have been truly invaluable. We appreciate your unique approach in encouraging the family to attend the dog training classes. We believe, it is because of this, we have had so much success with our dog training experience. It was positively the best! Thank-you!
Paul, Joanne, Mitchel, Justin & Frosty
I wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying working with you - I have told so many people what a great help you have been - you are truly a "mentor" in all sense of the word! You have been so giving with your material, advice, suggestions etc. and I have learned so much! Thank you for everything - you have truly inspired me to realize that I can make a career working with dogs and that's a dream come true!!"

Dear Norma Jeanne; Darwin and I would like to thank you for help with his dog training. It has helped us immensely and we are positive it will make Darwin a better service dog. We are enjoying the advanced classes and their challenges very much.

Norma Jeanne: Several years ago I began finding homes for unwanted dogs. Many had been neglected and abused and often came with little or no socialization, no housebreaking and numerous other problems. Having a houseful of these problem pooches can be quite frustrating. As result of your consultation the results have been outstanding. Thank you for your help.
Joy Casselli
Dear Norma Jeanne: Darby and I enjoyed Level One dog training at your school very much. The dog training class was well organized, productive and fun for both of us. The dog training manual you provided was very easy to follow and helped us at home. Your new dog training school is great too! Darby and I learned what I was hoping for and it has been much more enjoyable to have her around. We are able to control her now and we are especially happy that we did not need to use physical dog training methods to get there. We appreciate your efforts and can't wait to begin your trick class. We look forward to seeing you again.
Janine and Darby Jones
Dear Norma Jeanne, Thank you so much, you are a great dog trainer and a beautiful person. We had fun in your dog training classes and meeting other wonderful dogs and their owners. We LOVE our Sadey even more because you taught us how to understand dogs behavior. Thank you for answering all of my questions. Every dog owner should take your class, we can all learn that with gentle but firm training, your dog can be the #1 MUTT of the house. This is WHAT you teach Norma Jeanne...THANK YOU.
The Acevedo Family - Walter, Claudia. Paulina, Karla and Sadey
Six years ago we had the pleasure of attending your dog training school with our Bichon puppy, Bailey. As I had no previous experience in raising a dog, I found your dog training classes invaluable, teaching gentle yet firm behaviour. It certainly made life easier for all of us, including Bailey. Now we can just sit back and enjoy his living companionship. Since then, I have had the occasion to call you twice in reference to issues that had arisen. I find you to be accessible, extremely knowledgeable and always ready to help. I would like to thank you for your caring assistance. Dog training classes are so important, but the care of a loving pet is ongoing. What I find comforting is the fact that you are always there should the need arise. This is a sign of someone truly committed and dedicated to her profession.
