OWNER AND DOG TRAINER, JEN DAVENPORTI am so blessed to have been working with dogs and owners for 25 years now. My experience with animals started at 13 years old working for our local veterinarian but it wasn't until after college, when I started volunteering for an animal rescue, that the path I was meant to be on finally revealed itself. I've never looked back as I truly feel that I am doing what I was meant to do.My resume is extensive, but suffice it to say that not only do I love dogs, but I absolutely love helping people build meaningful relationships with their pets and in a way that makes sense. I am not one to make you feel bad for whatever choices you've made through your dog ownership experiences. I am here to educate you and support whatever ideas you have on what type of relationship you want. We will talk a lot, laugh quite a bit, work with your dog in a way that doesn't feel like work and most likely build a rapport that feels natural and easy. Oh, and your dog is going to have some fun too! Because we are going to find the methods that work best for you and your four legged family member. I excel at evaluating and understanding your dog's behavior and emotional state of mind (I'll help you understand it, too). I keep up to date on current methods. I'm not stuck in my ways. I am constantly educating myself through various forms but the best education I get is from you and your dogs. The dogs are my motivators and my teachers as much as I am theirs. I will always do what is both in their best interest as well as yours... all while maintaining a loving, healthy relationship, guiding them and rewarding the good choices they make.  I am also an AKC CGC Evaluator and can conduct Canine Good Citizen testings. Contact Jen Davenport at Testimonial"I can't recommend Jennifer enough! Not only did she understand how my dog thinks, but she knew how to communicate that to us! After six weeks, the dog that I had been incredibly frustrated by has been replaced by a well behaved dog, that I truly enjoy and connect with.  Best of all, she gave me the tools to work with him going forward. She really worked with us to come up with specific strategies for our family that actually work. I am so happy that we called Jennifer. She is the best!"- Heidi"Jen has made all the difference in working with our dog Dash! She identified his particular requirements, worked with us every step of the way, and made it fun, too. Best money I ever spent!! Highly recommend 3 Dog Training, you will get great results!!"- Jennifer P. Contact Jen
