 Beginner Obedience Class:
"Thanks Johanna I have to tell you how excited Creston is to start working with Timp. We love all the tools you gave us Timp is responding well.. I even got him to LISTEN to me today.. The walk we took last nite we started out with using the treats and once we got out of the appartments he walked along the side of Crest...on like an angel.. THANK THANK THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you!!" - Robin Higgs Sego with Tippanogos (Golden Retriever)
“Johanna’s love for her canine clients is evident from the first moment she interacts with a pet. She truly celebrates their learning with them every time they reach a new milestone. Sometimes when she is working with Ginger and me, I like to step into the next room for a moment (on some pretense or another) just to listen to her encouraging conversations with Ginger. Like anyone who is truly passionate about what they do, Johanna is creative, patient, humane and full of energy for every training session she has with us. Ginger and I both light up when we see her coming up the front steps! We both know that the fun of learning and the joy of accomplishment are about to begin.” – Terri Holbrooke with Ginger (Cocker Spaniel)
“I was very happy with the training that you did with Scout and myself. We still remember what we learned and look at that as a solid foundation for future training.” — Jim Palamides with Scout (Standard Poodle)
“We loved it! I’m so impressed with how much he learned and the level of improvement from beginning to end.” — Kelsey Landry with Jones (Australian Shepherd Mix)
“I had lots of fun training my puppy, who has shaped up well.” – Kathleen Stone (Age 11) with Aiko (Terrier Mix)
“It was enjoyable, not only for the dog, but the owner. It’s always fun to watch and compare your dog and other dogs progress over time... and the play sessions are always fun too.” – Jessica Brooks with Cooper (Goldendoodle)
“Our dogs had problems when we began training with jumping on people at the door and barking. After training with Johanna they improved 90%. We would recommend Johanna Teresi to anyone. She is a great dog trainer.” – Nicholas and Jeannie Bieber with Broc (Jack Russell Terrier)
“Johanna worked with us one on one to make sure we were absorbing what she was teaching us in order to accomplish the goals we had set for training. She is a great and patient teacher, demonstrating and working through each of the steps necessary repetitiously until she was comfortable seeing that we were making progress.” – Peggy Blackman with Jack (Shi-Tzu)
“The information has been invaluable. We have been able to apply it at home, at the park, and different public places.” – Christopher Sklute and Adam Renstrom with Zoe (Anatolian Shepherd / Akbash Mix)
Trick Class:
“My Dog Finn and I had a great time in Johanna's 'Tricks' class. We both learned a lot and Finn is pulling tricks on me all the time. The clicker training method used was very effective!” —Helen Hodgdon with Finn (Australian Shepherd)
Aggression with other dogs and humans:
“Johanna is amazing! She has helped us better understand our dog Sadie and has taught us how to get Sadie to do what we want. She even makes training fun. We live together much more peacefully now thanks to Johanna teaching us how to get Sadie's attention. We would be lost without her. Thanks Johanna!” — Tawni Hanseen and Todd Harman with Sadie (Yellow Labrador)
“When I rescued Piper, a 4-year-old deaf Border collie/Aussie mix with 4 years worth of anxiety issues, I knew that positive reinforcement training was the only way I would be able to make any progress with her behavior. Thanks to Johanna's Anxiety and Aggression class, Piper has since become a confident, sociable, and well-adjusted member of society.” —Ellen Hardy with Piper (Border Collie Mix)
“Johanna helped give me the tools to work with my aggressive little yorkie (that thought he was a rottweiler). I will always keep one eye on him but I now know what Luigi is capable of and what we learned will stay with us. You can teach an old dog new tricks!!!” —Sharon Maglietti with Luigi (Yorkshire Terrier)
“She has been a real lifesaver! She has come to my home so patiently, week after week, trying to get me to learn the behaviors that I need to live happily with Silly Billy and Gus. She has been extremely prompt, professional and knowledgeable. She encourages me when I get discouraged, is optimistic when I feel down, and has generally become a real friend.” —Paula Carl with Silly Billy (Pointer Mix) and Princess Gus (Border Collie)
“As I was learning to train Sammy, there were times I felt lost and hesitant. Johanna easily noticed this hesitancy and helped shift my energy so that Sammy and my energy field’s were in alignment. I noticed when my attitude and my emotions were playful, I was able to manifest a faster response with Sammy’s behavior.” –Phillip Blevins with Sammy (Pit Bull)
