We blend marker-based rewards with fair, minimally aversive accountability when needed. Every plan is tailored to your dog’s temperament and your goals to create clear communication, trust, and steady progress. The result: practical obedience that holds up at home, in public, and off leash.
Balanced training pairs positive reinforcement (food, toy, praise) with clear, humane boundaries so your dog understands both what to do and what not to do. Our aim is reliability without crushing drive: we shape engagement first, then add fair accountability to make behaviors durable under distraction. Programs are customized to your dog’s history, nerves, and motivators, keeping sessions short, clear, and confidence-building.
We start with an assessment and a simple marker system so your dog learns exactly when they’re right. From there, we build foundations—engagement, leash skills, place, heel, recall—and proof them around real-life distractions. Tools are selected to fit the dog and the job: food and toys, long lines, and—where appropriate—communication tools such as prong or remote collars used thoughtfully and transparently. You’ll get clear homework and handling reps so progress sticks with you, not just the trainer.
Expect calmer default behaviors, cleaner communication, and obedience that holds in the real world: polite greetings, loose-leash walking, solid recalls, and the ability to settle on cue. We prioritize safety and welfare at every step, maintaining steady, predictable criteria so dogs—and owners—gain confidence. The goal isn’t perfection in a training hall; it’s a dog you can trust in everyday life.
Working with Jordan was an absolute pleasure. I knew May was in the best hands throughout her board and train. Jordan was extremely flexible in working with both my partner and myself to teach us both how to communicate with May to maintain her training.
After returning home, Coco has so much more confidence and control on walks and in public -- and Jordan trained us how to effectively use tools to reward and maintain that behavior. Even weeks after Coco returned home, I'm continually impressed at how differently she behaves during walks. Highly recommend Jordan and Mantra K9 for anyone looking to improve their relationship and communication with their dog(s)!
Jordan is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and really understands each dog’s unique personality. She is attentive and thorough in her training approach, which proved to be both practical and extremely effective.
We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing experience we had with Jordan and her team at Mantra K9. Our Weimaraner, Zeke, completed their 6-week board and train program, and the results have been incredible.
Jordan is beyond talented. She worked with our two loves: Shakira (1 year & 10 months Husky) and Beyonce (1 year & 3 months German Shepherd). She helped us with a number of behavior issues: walking the girls on a leash without them pulling on the leash; Beyonce's high anxiety levels; out of control playing and barking at each other.Jordan taught us how to work with our girls and have a healthier routine for them.
