What People Are Saying
“Jamin is a lifesaver!! My family was suddenly put in the position of adopting a 10 month old chocolate lab! A bit panicked knowing that I needed to get my new big guy house trained (or trained at all for that matter), and not knowing who to turn to, I was fortunate enough to come across someone who had worked with Jamin when they started puppy training.
She is so knowledgeable and answered every single question I had. She taught us what balanced training is by showing us how to use tools and positive reinforcement to help give my dogs life the structure he needs to thrive. We are just at the beginning of our journey, and I trust our Teacher Jamin to guide us. I'm so grateful!”

“We adopted a 6 month old Frenchie/Poodle puppy and were looking for a trainer to help with basic obedience, crate training, avoiding separation anxiety, and re-potty training. When fostered, our puppy learned to only pee on potty pads and would never pee outside. Our neighbors referred us to Bara and we're SO glad. Starting from the consultation call, Bara provided very clear guidance on how to effectively communicate with our dog and quickly + effectively teach him. For the crate and outside potty training, Bara gave us a schedule to follow. It seemed intense at first, but within the first 48 hours, our puppy was peeing regularly outside and was comfortable in his crate. Don't be freaked out by the idea of the schedule - it's a lifesaver and our puppy remains his *very* happy self. He now pees outside, sleeps quietly in his crate at night, and is comfortable if we leave him alone for periods of time. He's also is learning obedience commands so quickly and recently graduated to Bara's group obedience classes. I can't recommend Bara and Bee Positive Training enough!”
