About this program
What they say about themselves
Janet Krasno founded Coach Krasno Dog Training after spending several years as an Animal Control Officer in Ventura County, where she observed firsthand how early training could prevent problems for both dogs and their families. She holds a CPDT-KA certification, membership in the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, and a BS in Biology.
According to their website, the business uses positive reinforcement methods grounded in classical and operant conditioning principles. They describe following LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) protocols, avoiding tools like shock collars or choke chains. The approach emphasizes building trust between dog and owner rather than relying on punishment.
The Simi Valley-based business offers private lessons, consultations, and a structured remote coaching program. Their online option includes weekly video calls, recorded demonstrations, and homework over roughly six months—with an opt-out policy if owners see no improvement after the first month. They also mention using helper dogs during virtual sessions to model exercises. For owners seeking lighter guidance, a 30-minute phone consultation with email follow-up is available. Services cover puppies through seniors, addressing basic manners as well as behavioral concerns like excessive barking, leash pulling, or fear responses.
