Don’t just take it from us, here what our clients have to say!
I can’t thank Jamie enough for the incredible progress my dog has made under her guidance. He used to be extremely reactive in our neighborhood. I had previously worked with several balanced trainers and relied on punishment-based tools, but the improvements never lasted. Since working with Jamie and shifting to a positive reinforcement approach, I’ve seen a remarkable transformation. By teaching my dog to make better choices on his own and removing the punishment tools, he’s become significantly more relaxed both at home and outside. Jamie’s training has truly changed our lives for the better.

Jamie was exactly what I was looking for in a nose work instructor. She has tons of experience in the sport with multiple titles with multiple dogs, and she is a seasoned instructor. Jamie also has in-depth knowledge of dog behavior and a keen eye for nuance in understanding each dog. Cooper and I learned SO much.

I have been a veterinarian with a special interest in dog behavior for 45 years, and Jamie Bozzi is one of the most exceptional trainers that I have worked with. She is up-to-date on behavioral science, but also has an intuitive grasp of how each dog has different needs. She also recognizes how intimately linked behavior and health is, and we frequently share thoughts on how a dog’s pain or anxiety might influence its training needs. She is the best, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
