With over 30 years of experience as a professional training instructor and extensive knowledge in veterinary medicine and other dog-related fields, Murphdog Dog Training provides exceptional training services for dogs and their families. Our services specialize in obedience, behavior, social skills, and house training/puppy rearing. Our private training packages aim to transform your "family dog" into a cherished member of your household. We prioritize behavioral conditioning, social grace, and good manners, which can only be achieved through a supportive and devoted approach.
Our "Complete Training Package" covers obedience and behavioral training, consisting of various skills such as Sit/Stay, Walking at Heel, and socialization skills, among others. This package also includes our successful method for housetraining, separation anxiety, impulse control, and other behavioral issues. We offer ongoing support to ensure your pet's progress and make adjustments to suit your pet's particular needs.
For those who prefer "Basic Training," our package includes obedience, behavior, and social skills, mainly Sit/Stay, Walking at Heel, and Leash Control.
Do you have a newborn pup that needs housetraining? Do you want to develop a better schedule? Our "Puppy Training Package" addresses housetraining, puppy behavior issues, puppy rearing, and walking on a leash. You can start with this package and add more later.
We never use shock collars, nor do we provide Board & Train services. We believe that training works best when done in the pet parent's home, neighborhood, and outings to stores and walking trails for maximum socialization. That's why our training sessions take place in these settings, and we encourage pet parents to participate. As a Canine Behaviorist and a Canine Specialist, we have experience in multiple dog-related fields, and we customize our teaching methods to fit each dog's specific needs.

As soon as I met Jenna, I knew she was the ideal dog trainer for us. Her love for dogs showed in the way she exuded a calm and confident demeanor around them. Our 7-month-old Bernedoodle, Allie, warmed up to her instantly. We had some issues with obedience training and reactivity towards people and other dogs, and being first-time puppy owners, we were overwhelmed despite reading books on dog training. But Jenna put us at ease and was patient and non-judgmental towards us and Allie. She gave us thorough explanations of what we were doing and why, answered all our questions, and gave us practical homework to work on between lessons. She was always available to respond to queries via text. Her expertise helped Allie improve her walking, sitting, staying, and dropping random items. We also saw an improvement in Allie's reactivity during field trips to Lowe's and local trails. Working with Jenna was an absolute pleasure. She's a compassionate person who genuinely cares and wants to make your furry friend a beloved member of your family. We're grateful for her guidance and had an overwhelmingly positive experience. Thank you, Jenna, you're the best!

Working with Jenna was a delightful experience. She devoted her time to analyzing my dog and myself, lending her ear to my difficulties and apprehensions, and comprehending my aspirations for seeking her advice. Our sessions were never hurried, and Jenna accommodated any alterations to our schedule cheerfully. My objective in training with her was mainly to train my puppy, but I also sought assistance with a couple of issues regarding my other two dogs, and Jenna adeptly addressed all of my training necessities. Thank you immensely, Jenna!

Being novice pet owners with no prior experience in handling any pets, we chose to venture into CrackerJack for diverse pet trainers. While browsing, I stumbled upon Murphdog which is owned and operated by Jenna. Throughout the booking process, we noticed that she was highly accommodating with scheduling appointments. Luckily for us, she was available on the same day we brought our puppy home. Jenna provided us with numerous tips and useful information since it was our first time being pet owners. We quickly enrolled our puppy in her training program, and we are ecstatic that we made the right choice. Jenna has been exceptional with our puppy training, and we whole-heartedly suggest her to anyone who may be looking for a pet trainer.

Jenna's passion for her work is evident from the moment she arrived at our home to evaluate our rescue dog, Otis. Her calm demeanor immediately put us and Otis at ease, and we knew we were in good hands. We've had four private sessions with Jenna, and the progress Otis has made is truly remarkable. Jenna doesn't just train your dog, but she also teaches you, equipping you with the skills and knowledge necessary to build a great relationship with your pup. We highly recommend Jenna; she's easily accessible by phone or text and is professional when scheduling appointments or addressing any concerns that arise between sessions. Jenna's years of experience working with dogs and her extensive knowledge of their behaviors have been invaluable to us - and Otis loves her! If you're considering working with Jenna, don't hesitate - you won't be disappointed!

Jenna was prompt in her response and fulfilled my information needs while addressing my queries satisfactorily. She scheduled a meet-and-greet with my dog and I within a week. I had a narrow window of availability, and in the brief hour that she spent with us, I garnered invaluable insights that I can implement repeatedly, resulting in immediate, durable changes in my dog's demeanor. It's been a fantastic experience for both my dog and myself, and I cannot recommend Jenna enough for her outstanding instruction.
