We brought our 1.5 year old golden retriever to Jitana in the hopes of getting her off leash and to improve day to day manners. We had a great experience with Jitana, she is extremely responsive and really dedicates her time to you and your pup. She is extremely passionate about her practice and it shows her day to day work. We had incredible success with her training methodologies and would highly suggest her to anyone looking to give their dog some more freedom while improving your day to day with your pup as well.

We recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional dog trainer, Jitana, through the Thrive program, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Our dog, who used to be very timid and had a lot of emotional ups and downs, has shown remarkable improvement. She used to relieve herself anywhere, but thanks to Jitana's training, she has learned to wait and follow commands. During the training period, we did not expect our dog to show such significant changes, but we were pleasantly surprised by her progress. The transformation has been incredible, and it was worth every penny. Jitana's patience and expertise made a world of difference. I highly recommend her services and the Thrive program to anyone looking for effective and compassionate dog training.

Matilda entered the Thrive program as a needy, nervous, and stubborn puppy determined to never spend a night in her crate and only listen if she was in the mood. I now am the proud owner of a confident, well mannered, calm Cavalier who works well, plays hard, and sleeps (in her crate!) solidly. 

I cannot express enough how worth it this experience was for Matilda and myself. Thank you, Jitana for all that you do!

Jitana was incredible with our one-year old Scottie Terrier, Arley and had a very solid understanding of terrier tendencies and often stubborn-will. She was undeniably patient, graceful, and knowledgeable with each session and in making sure that our areas of concern were addressed timely and with the right resources. Arley is a much more confident, calm, and playful pup thanks to Jitana’s training and love for him. We’re grateful for her time spent with us and would recommend her, especially for first-time puppy parents.

My husband and I can not say enough good things about Jitana. Lets start with her knowledge base, WOW! She had multiple answers to every question we had. Any behavior that needed correction, including the ones we were doing, were pointed out and tools were provided to help us. Jitana is so kind and warm. Our dog Maui was always happy to see her even though she knew she was going to work hard. Jitana gives personalized attention to you and your dogs needs. I stopped taking my dog for walks because she pulled me down several times. Now she is walking next to me and listening to me. We can now enjoy our pup and have her with us on hikes and camping trips. The dog you want is waiting for you. Just ask Jitana for help.

I can’t overstate how positive of a training experience we had with Jitana. She's like Denver's dog whisperer. This is not your typical cookie cutter training, she truly understands dog psychology and explains it at a deeper level then you’ll find anywhere else. Realistically, it was about 10% training my dog and 90% training me to understand my dog and his needs. My relationship with my dog has improved 10x, I can take him more places with me now, and- most importantly- he can calm himself down in exciting or overwhelming situations. EVERYBODY comments about how much better behaved he is. Training with Jitana was the pinnacle of his week every week and we both learned a ton.

Jitana is amazing, and we would highly recommend her to anyone with a pup or dog who needs to learn some manners! She got right to work with our 4 month old pup as soon as she walked through our front door for our first session, and she has consistently helped us overcome new challenges that come with puppy parenthood. We are able to take our puppy to breweries, crowded hiking trails, and parks with confidence because Jitana taught us and her all the skills we need in order to have successful outings (plus successful relaxing nights at home, which is a major plus with an energetic puppy!). We are so grateful to Jitana, and Cola is going to miss her weekly visits from the “treat lady.”

Jitana is great with our puppy. We started training at a 8 weeks old and kept going until he was 6 months old. We have a well behaved dog that listens and is off leash! Jitana was responsive and there when behaviors started to show up.
