Service Dog Tutor specializes in private training for clients’ dogs, focusing on service work and therapy dog work using reward-based training and games. Although the trainer retired from general dog training in May 2021, she now works exclusively with advanced service dog students, providing public access training, testing, and consultations for new dog owners. Her clients often use their dogs for assistance with mobility issues, chronic diseases, and pain, and she helps them train their dogs to perform tasks that improve their daily lives and independence. The trainer’s approach is patient, thoughtful, and methodical, prioritizing the physical and mental well-being of the dogs. She offers both in-person and online classes, with tailored sessions that help clients reach their training goals. Clients have praised her extensive experience working with people with various disabilities and her ability to structure clear, effective lessons through in-person park visits and remote Zoom sessions. Even those who initially doubted remote training found her techniques successful and engaging. In addition to service dog training, she provides consultations for clients seeking the right dog for service work or as a family pet. She does not board dogs for training or provide dogs for service work but offers expert guidance to help clients train their own dogs effectively. Her dedication and expertise make her a trusted resource for individuals seeking to train their dogs for service, therapy, or companionship.
We are so glad to have found Jean. Her training expertise and true love for dogs comes through in every interaction. She’s patient and thoughtful while being methodical about her work. Jean reviewed each lesson with us in person, then provided homework
and often sent supplementary helpful videos and literature to improve our technique. She checked in on us and ALWAYS put our pup’s physical and mental well being as a top priority. Jean is an engaging and caring trainer, and I recommend her for adults and teens seeking dog training for service and therapy related needs.

As I am in a wheelchair, our goals for our dog Nuka are to assist me in activities of daily living & accompany me into the community for companionship and mobility assistance.Jean has extensive experience working with clientele experiencing a wide range of disabilities and helping them to thrive in both residential settings and public spaces where a service dog accommodation truly equalizes their owner’s access to the community.At first I had my doubts that we could really train our dog with a remote instructor on zoom, but Jean’s a natural with digital tech;...read full review
I was amazed by Jean’s knowledge of service dog training. She helped my dog learn skills that I didn’t even know existed and worked with him on proper service dog etiquette. Our lessons were always structured very clearly and she was able to teach my dog so much in a very short time frame. I’m so grateful for her help.
