All About Canines Sebastopol, California

We had such a wonderful experience working with Penny! Murphy, our pup, is a “spirited” one year old golden retriever. Penny helped us work on his recall, pulling on leash, walling by our side and “leave it” command. She is calm, patient, …

Penny is a joy to work with. She is passionate about what she does and has such a love of dogs. She takes the time to hear what you have to say and and answers your questions with kindness and positivity. With Penny's help, our pup Kai is progressing nicely. Highly recommend Penny!

Penny really listened to understanding the challenges we were having with our rescue dog, Lady. she kindly and patiently helped us learn how we could make an environment and behaviors where she could be her best self. We are still working with lady but i believe Penny have us the tools and approach to succeed. She is very responsive too!

Penny is an outstanding trainer. Throughout our first two sessions together, she has given me immensely useful insight and helped implement new, important routines for my pup. She has put a tremendous amount of effort into getting to know him as an individual as well. My dog is so sweet but is certainly not the easiest to work with, yet Penny has given us both so much encouragement and a very positive outlook moving forward with his training. We can’t wait for more!!

Penny helped our family learn how to train our new Labradoodle puppy. As first-time pet owners we had a lot to learn. She is very knowledgeable and provided great service teaching us what we needed to know.

My work takes me around the county helping people with their puppies & dogs.

Penny helped us to understand our new rescue dog and to work with our dog's existing knowledge and personality. In a relative short amount of time, our dog was responding to her new name, coming when called, and much improved on our walks (no pulling us!). I feel we have the basics and can continue working on our own although we will miss our sessions with Penny!

Penny is very skillful and kind. She's great not just with dogs but with people too. Our pup is nervous around people but immediately warmed up to her. She helped us prepare for our rescue dog even before she arrived, really set us up for success with so many knowledgeable tips. Every issue we had, she had experience with. We would have struggled so much without her, and not even known how much easier things could be. Now we have an amazing relationship with our dog who we trust and who trusts us! Thanks Penny! Bonus: our dog LOVES her homemade treat recipe.

We absolutely recommend Penny. She has helped us sooo much with our 1+ year old rescue dog who had lived on the street. Penny has given us practical, EXTREMELY helpful foundational training that has changed the way I view communicating with my dog. I wish I’d had her in my life sooner for my previous dog! There were multiple times where my partner and I said out loud, that we are so grateful to Penny and we don’t know what we would have done without her.

We went to Penny after rescuing a 8 month old weimaraner/lab mix. Penny is extremely knowledgable and helped us tailor our behavior and training to ensure the most successful results. Penny's guidance has made us more knowledgable, comfortable and confident training our pup and her advice resulted in immediate changes in our dog's behavior. For context, our dog was part of a litter that was dropped on the side of the road at 7 months old and picked up by a shelter. At the time we rescued him (one week after entering the shelter), he was not house broken, leashed trained or comfortable with other humans and animals. We began working with Penny a few days after rescuing him. After one week and two (virtual) sessions with Penny, the dog has had no accidents in the house, is comfortable meeting new people and exhibits completely different behavior. If you are taking on training your dog on your own, Penny is a must. She is a people trainer. We have seen more dramatic and rewarding results after talking with Penny than we have had with any of our previous dogs who have worked with other trainers directly. We have also found Penny's approach to training to be much easier to maintain -- it is less time consuming and less emotionally demanding.

Penny was very helpful in helping me understand how my actions were affecting my dog and what my dog’s behavior indicated she was thinking. We saw noticeable differences after using her suggestions.

If you need help/ advice training you dog I can highly recommend All About Canines A very Grateful client BD
