Unleash Positivity with Pawsome Dogs by Jen

I am dedicated to making training a tail-wagging adventure, all from the comfort of your home.

Here’s the best part: I make sit happen using only positive reinforcement. Pawsome Dogs by Jen is and always will be, 100% force-free.

But here’s the thing–we make sit happen using only positive reinforcement. Pawsome Dogs by Jen is, and always will be, 100% force free.

Positive Dog Training in Northwest Indiana

Positive reinforcement training establishes trust between you and your pet. Through rewards, praise, and kindness, your furry friend learns to see you as a reliable source of positivity.

Based out of Portage, IN, Pawsome Dogs by Jen brings personalized, positive dog training to all of NWI, Chicagoland, and SW Michigan.

Basic Behavior Training

Need help with basic behavior cues (sit, stay, down, watch me, loose leash walking, etc)? I've got a package for that!

In-Home Training

Home is where you and your dog should be the happiest and most comfortable, so you stay put and I'll come to you. A happy, relaxed dog is an engaged dog!

Personalized Training

Dog pulling on the leash? Jumping? Just need one-on-one help with a specific issue or two? No problem!

100% Force-Free

Science has shown that aversive methods don't work, and can often make things worse. Positive reinforcement training makes training fun for you and the dog.

I cannot recommend her enough! I have 2 German Shepherds that are loud mouths. Within just a couple of days with Jen’s training, I can already see a difference. She is the most sweetest, caring person and really explains everything great without overwhelming you. She even sent a follow up email with all the information for me to reference later incase I forgot something!

I definitely recommend Jen. She helped me learn how to work with my Malx puppy, using play and rewards to train the basics, keeping him engaged. Jen was very helpful and understanding when I had questions about my dogs training. She was great with my dog and my dog loved her and was excited to train when she came over.
