When I first called
Namastay Training I felt trapped in my house! My youngest boxer was fence
fighting with the neighbor dogs, walks were a disaster, he didn't "like"
any other dog other than his brother, and he was even on probation at doggy
daycare!! Now he doesn't jump on the fence, going on walks is a breeze and he
is off of probation at daycare!!! Without Jennifer’s help I don't know where we
would be.

Jennifer is great! I
have 2 young labs, Bailey and Sidney, and they are quite a handful! They needed
a lot of work, & I didn't even know where to start! Jennifer has helped me
get them under control, they still need some work but, are really doing well. I
never thought they would progress this fast. Most importantly, Jennifer has
taught me how to communicate with them, and I feel like we are closer than
ever. I feel like they understand me & I finally understand them. It has
definitely been worth it, and the results will speak for themselves!

Jennifer makes training fun! Her classes are 100% positive and the atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Taking Grad School at Namastay Training was by far the BEST class I have ever taken.
~Courtney K in Denver
Classes are perfect for any dog at any level - and probably even more helpful for the people. I would especially encourage anyone getting a rescue dog to take training from Jennifer. She is so kind and compassionate - she definitely has a heart connection with the dogs!

Jennifer is a great teacher who encourages building trust with your buddy. The classes are enjoyable and helpful and we can't wait to take another class.

I met Jennifer after
adopting a 6 month old German Shepherd puppy named Jewels. Anyone who knows
Shepherds is aware of how stubborn they can be. Jewels was my 3rd Shepherd, so
I felt confident that I could help her learn some manners, and basic commands.
After months of working with her on my own, I was at my wits end! It had gotten
so bad that I contemplated giving her to a shelter. Jewels was out of control!
I felt like a huge failure. Then I met Jennifer, she made me realize that
Jewels and I weren't communicating . Neither of us knew what the other wanted.
Within the first few months Jewels and I learned so much. Jewels is turning 3
yrs old in Dec, and we have a great relationship! I can trust her at the
off-leash park with other dogs. And at home she is amazing!
Thank you Jennifer, for teaching an old dog some new tricks with her new dog!

Little did I realize
when I decided to add Tollie, a Lab mix to our household that he would be such
a handful. Lulu, a Black Lab, and Monte, a German Shepherd mix, were pretty
easy dogs but adding a third large, young dog to the mix made life hectic and
at times, crazy. After discussing my frustration with Tollie’s severe
separation anxiety, extra high energy and destructive behavior with a friend,
she recommended the training services of Jennifer Skiba of Namastay Training.
Honestly, it was the best phone call I’ve made in recent months! Jennifer is not only thorough, but she is magic with the dogs. From our very first session, vast improvements were made. I have learned to be a better leader of my “pack,” and my dogs are happier and better behaved. I recently hosted a party and my friends and neighbors have remarked that my dogs are a real pleasure to be around—the improvement is that noticeable!
Through consistent work and adjusting my interaction with my dogs, I have gained control of my dogs via the techniques Jennifer has taught all three of us. Our household is calm and the quality of my relationship with my dogs is more enjoyable. All three dogs love the training and Tollie is on his way to being the great dog he is meant to be. These significant and positive changes would not have been possible without Jennifer’s compassionate, instinctive, and patient guidance. Jennifer’s work has given all of us a gift!

Thanks to your training, Olivia passed her GCC evaluation, and together, we passed the Pet Partners evaluation and are now are a registered therapy team. She occasionally comes to work with me and is so steady and fun. Thank you so much for helping Olivia and I through this journey. I frequently recall the time we initially started working with you when Olivia was the queen of everything. I am so grateful for everything you have taught us and for where we are today.

THANK YOU FOR NOT LETTING US GIVE UP ON DAKOTA!
You can't begin to imagine how far he has come and what joy he has been for all of us (even Ron, who was done with him several times) He is definitely my baby but still loves attention from the rest of the family! He still has his puppy "I'm too excited moments" but he knows his commands, he comes when called and has ton's of friends in our neighborhood and at the dog park! People always recognize him because of his hair! Currently, when it is not too cold we take him to the (frozen) lake behind our house and just let him run!! He is a very happy dog! And I am a very proud owner~ YOU made a huge difference in our decision to keep him!

I am really enjoying the classes. I think you
approach is really special. I have been to a fair number of training
classes over the last 20 years and I like these the best. The others were
always on leash, geared toward getting them to obey specific commands and generally
putting them through their paces. Some good things from most of them but
too regimented and human-centric. The last one was probably the best, and
the only one that scheduled some play time. But I think the whole
socialization thing is wonderful.

Just wanted to thank you for your lesson on Saturday.....it is working like a charm. I went from only being watched by Fleet during "training" to him paying attention to me like I am the only thing in the world. The combination of the new leash and better treats has him walking like a champ already (plus maybe an attitude re-thinking by 'dad' for himself). He literally almost stays in heel position without any prompting and seems damn happy to do so. We even managed to practice a bit of off leash following this evening and he walked as if there was a leash - perfect! So yes, just wanted to say thank you and give you an update! I might just have a well trained Aussie someday as I hoped!
