"Parker is a patient, creative and dedicated trainer."

“We have an anxious large breed puppy that is having some challenges and Parker has remained committed to helping Hooper be successful. She has recommended additional resources and continues to care about what is best for us and our dog. “

"Thank you for teaching us to be good dog parents and for helping us love Bailey even more!"

“Our dog, Bailey, has a lot of energy. A lot. She also loves people. A lot. We weren't sure we would ever be able to train her as she is already 3 and seemed beyond hope, but Parker was able to teach me methods that made such a difference. By using the clicker and treats and positive reinforcement (compared to me just yelling "stop" and pointing a stern finger like I used to do) I was able to get her to sit as someone walked by after our first lesson! Our second lesson was with another dog and I was so impressed with the setup and how she can work with multiple dogs at the same time. By the end of that lesson, Bailey learned to wait to grab a treat until I gave her the command. Now I don't have to worry when my family spills food on the floor! Can't wait to learn even more!”

"I had the very best experience working with Coachable Canines!"

“Parker was patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She worked with me and my puppy, Winnie, over Zoom and made it feel like she was right beside us rather than virtual. She offered great explanations for behavior and gave excellent feedback. She made training a positive and fun experience with zero stress. I highly recommend Coachable Canines. You will enjoy working with Parker and you will see positive change in your dog as you go through each session.”

"Her approach of positive reinforcement is very effective and we are very grateful to Parker and Coachable Canines for helping Rudy settle into his new home."

“When we rescued Rudy, he was terribly afraid of the car and wouldn’t go in unless we picked him up and put him in the car. After working with Parker for a few months, Rudy now jumps into the car on by his own. He also is getting pretty good at other behaviors: Stay; take a seat; go to bed; and come here. Plus Rudy LOVES when Parker shows up! If he could cuddle with her forever, he would ! She is so patient with him and with us. We can text or email her at any time if we have questions or issues and she sends us recaps of each training session. Five Stars!” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

"Parker rescued our rescue."

We got Ella from a shelter when she was just about 1 1/2 yrs old. She had a lot of anxiety- licking excessively and jumping on visitors and she was very protective of her toys. Using the clicker method that Parker taught us has been a game changer. Ella will now allow us to take her toy when we click, she does not jump on me when I come over and the next behavior we will be working on is to decrease the face licking! Thanks Parker for all your help! Our rescue has been rescued.

"Training our puppy with Parker was such a fantastic experience."

Besides her knowledge and expertise, Parker was extremely flexible with her time and patient with our dog and 3 kids. Every time we trained, I was shocked at how well our dog responded to her and how quickly he learned. Parker also made great recommendations on puppy treats, training equipment, toys, etc.
