Thank you very much for the usual impeccable care that my boys get when we are not here.  It is very assuring for me to know that when I am not here they are looked after with such care and concern. Being an empty nester now and not really liking it, even makes coming home to these boys even more sweet. Thank you again for everything. Truly appreciate it.

Jan and the Happy Dogs at Home Team have been incredible. I have two Great Danes, a Standard Poodle, and a cat and Jan and Rachel have been amazing. I use Happy Dogs at Home for midday visits, training, and overnights. My pets love Jan and Rachel. The training has been remarkable for my Great Danes. They have had an almost instant positive change with Jan’s training – they are well behaved and are more confident now. And the overnights, I can’t say enough about. I am someone who can be overprotective with my pets but I am totally comfortable when Jan or Rachel watch them for an extended time. I receive updates and pictures of my pets and a written summary upon my return. Overall, I am ecstatic with this service, all of my pets couldn’t be happier and I would whole-heartedly recommend Jan and Happy Dogs at Home.

I was so impressed with the way my dog responded to Jan from the moment she jumped on her in the driveway!  Jan was gentle but firm. clear with her expectations and understood what both my dog and I needed to be more successful in our training. Thank you Jan!

This company is a God send. They have performed services from training my puppy, to working with behavioral issues, from dog sitting, dog “babysitting”, over night visits, etc. I have never experienced such professionalism, passion and quality from any other dog care. Highly recommend them. This company goes above and beyond their services. I leave my dogs, who are family to me and my family, and do not worry at all about their care and well being. These women show love to your dogs as you would. They take the place of you when you are not there. I am happy to say that my dogs and my family are also “family” to Happy Dogs At Home. If you have dogs, and you want the best care possible, look no where else, this is the company for you.

Don’t know what you did on your first visit, but rumor has it you are a dog whisperer! He has been delightful ever since you were here.  He goes into bedroom and waits for his food.  I do not have to use the box to send him there, he hears me prepare his meal and automatically retreats to the bedroom and waits.  No angry outbursts either.  I am looking forward to working with you and hope to have a happy family soon. Sit, stay, roll over and paw are all done with eagerness too. So, whatever you have planned for us I look forward to positive results.

I have total trust in Joanne when it comes to my dog. I am a helicopter dog mom and worry about my baby. He has never been to a kennel and I can tell how happy he is to be home and have Joanne come to visit. She has cared for him for 6 years since he was a puppy. She has access to our home and he can also stay home when we are away with Joanne coordinating his care. She helped to socialize him when he was a puppy. I can relax and focus at work knowing he will have a wonderful midday visit. He has zero anxiety, is fully exercised and is a pretty balanced dog. I credit Happy Dogs for giving him the outlet he needs while we are at work.

I would give Jan a 10 if I could. She was amazing with my little guy and knows her stuff! Any dog owner that is looking for training, look no more… she is top notch and worth every penny! I will never go anywhere else.

We love Happy Dogs at Home, Jan takes very good care of my very active dog Lily!!

We had plans to go to CA, not intending to also have a puppy at home. We had the chance to get a female sheltie in March. Here we were with plans to leave Poppy for a week and our original plans for puppy watcher fell thru. Panic was setting in till Jan came to our rescue. We had met Jan when she came to the house before this for some initial puppy training. She is awesome dog trainer.
Long story short, we left with complete confidence that Poppy was in the best of care. We never once worried about her. We came home to a very happy puppy. 
Happy Dogs at Home is simply the best! 5 stars is not enough…..I give it 10!

Lucy is doing great with the barking. . I only have to tell her quiet once (in what to me in a much deeper/loud voice) and she stops. Thanks again for all your help! I hope one day I can walk her around people and dogs and she can confidently walk beside me. I know that day is a long ways away but thanks for bringing me closer to that possibility!!

– Elise, Manchester  March 2016

You are among my blessings and I can’t thank you enough for helping us!! Cabo and Hunter say thank you as well. 🙂

Jan has the skills, experience, and personality that makes her a successful dog trainer. She has recently spent time with my dad and me in training his very rambunctious Springer spaniel puppy. This breed is very active, and Andy was proving too much for my dad, a senior citizen. She helped my dad work through some of those typical puppy issues and, with her training, Andy has proven to be a good student.

My dad now enjoys his daily walks with Andy, which were not at all pleasurable before the training. Jan always takes time to listen to our concerns and spends as much time as it is needed to sort out the problems and find a solution. She has a friendly and optimistic personality and her love for dogs shines through.

“My husband and I recently went on vacation for 3 weeks in the Caribbean. We were unsure of what to do with our “child/dog” Liberty, a rescue. We contacted Happy Dogs @ Home. Enough said! For three weeks, Jan and her sister Joanne, came by twice a day to feed, walk, play, etc., with Liberty. They took in our mail, alternated leaving lights on in our home and even took Liberty on daily outings. We came home to a very happy dog who now had a new stuffed toy named “Duck”, a dog who had received a lot of love and attention, a dog who did not feel that she had been moved to a new home for 3 weeks. This experience was so stress free for all, that I have since used them on a day when we were both going to be gone for a full day and have put in our reservation for next year. We highly recomend Jan, Joanne and Happy Dogs at Home!”

Thank you for your good care of Timmy while I was away on business. He kept coming come from the various kennels I tried with eye infections and kennel cough – I am so relieved to know that I can travel and that he’ll be okay when I return.  The extended daily “adventure” visits are a huge plus, I’ll be using them in the future when I have a late day at work.

-Susan, Glastonbury

I have Jan as my trainer for our dogs Shaggy, Scooby and Rosie.  DJ comes three times a week to walk our guys.  I can’t say enough about these amazing people who I as well as our dogs have been lucky to have come into our lives.  They have both done amazing things for our family.  We adopted two puppies after we lost our dog to cancer. Our dog Shaggy was very lonely and we ended up with two new puppies at once by accident and decided to keep both. If it wasn’t for these Amazing people we would not have been able to have all three.

-Jen, Marlborough

Jan is impeccable in her training.  We called her in assisting us with our Chocolate Lab puppy.  She immediately set up an appointment and came and met with us.  Her skill in training the dogs (we have a Golden Retriever as well) and patience is highly effective. She will work with you as well as your dogs until you and your dogs are understanding and producing the command.  On several occasions I contacted Jan to assist us with a new issue and immediately addressed it for us. There are many trainers out there that will “train” your dog but Jan shows compassion to the dogs in their well being and their care.  I HIGHLY recommend Happy Dogs at Home. It is a reassuring feeling to have such a quality business assist in training and caring for your dogs.

-Christine, Glastonbury

Thanks for everything and not giving up on our Sammy when others did.
 We can’t wait to work with you again.

After adopting 2 rescue dogs we were faced with many unknowns both in their personalities as well as what their past care had been. We soon discovered that one of our dogs had an extreme fear of being near and riding in cars, becoming very sick both emotionally and physically. Also, our dogs bolted out the door as soon as anyone attempted to enter the home and no amount of recall would bring them back.

I am so thankful that we met Jan with Happy Dogs at Home. She has been amazing with our dogs and has worked hard with us as a family and our dogs to put together a consistent training schedule that helped us become more confident, and a successful strategy to help our dog’s fears.  We can now open the door to greet guests, our dogs stay and come immediately with just one quick call.  Most importantly we now take car rides with our dogs!  Long gone is the dog that was scared just at the sight of our car.  He now jumps right in when the car door opens and loves to ride with his head out the window.

Never have I met someone so committed to their families and pets. Jan was so patient and formed such a strong bond with all of us that she is now part of our family. I could go on and on about Jan as there are many other things she has accomplished, from walking without pulling, alleviating their fear of water, and good manners with guests who come into our home. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Just returned and can’t thank you enough for the good care of my “boys”!  This is the first time we’ve left them with a pet sitter and were so impressed to find the house in the same condition we left it and not a speck of “poop” in the yard – WOW!  I especially liked receiving the text with photo while we were traveling – very comforting to see them looking so happy!   Thank you for going above and beyond what we ever expected.

-Mark, Glastonbury

Brutus and Brindle are doing great.  I can’t thank you enough for all you did.  I can walk them on leashes, they don’t jump on visitors anymore, they listen to their commands and most importantly I don’t have to worry about them fighting anymore.  They have become best friends and play together for hours on end.  You’re the best! 

-Karen, East Hartford

Jan has been a fantastic trainer to Jim and I. And oh, Marley is doing well with her too!!! Need a personal dog trainer?? Call Jan!!

I wanted to thank you for taking care of Bauer.  I really appreciate all that you did for him.
