As a professional dog trainer who’s been training dogs for over a decade, I see far too many dogs get overly distracted in all in-person classes. For some dogs, in-person classes can be too distracting making it extremely hard for them to learn. Trying to train them, can be a lot like trying to teach a six-year-old child to learn math at Disneyland. Way too distracting an environment to learn. With virtual classes, your dog gets a chance to learn at home first before coming to class, which makes it easier and faster for him to learn.

Class reviews

Ray from Canada10 Positive: Professionalism, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value We took our classes online (after COVID-19) and we were pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of the course, the video homework we were given, and the overall fun and professional structure of the program.

Joanne is a gem–she isn’t just training dogs, she’s training people to train their dogs. As it turns out, our shy adopted dog really blossomed under at-home online training and we think he may have actually been overwhelmed by a live group class. And there’s no commute!

Thanks Joanne. We’d do it again. Highly recommended!

Allison D Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, ValueJust completed a Walk with me, Come to me, No jumping training class with Joanna of Flopps. It was unusual as it was done online through Zoom due to Covid restrictions. While we would have preferred an in-person class, this format worked very well as classes were live and we could all see each other. Joanna was able to give suggestions and answer questions during class and also on the video homework that we submitted. My dog has progressed quite well over the five weeks. We really enjoyed the whole process. I also liked the live info sessions on Tuesdays that Joanna hosted. This format would be great for people unable to attend classes in person because of location, restrictions like Covid or any reason that prevents attending in person.
Joanna is very personable, an excellent coach and a great source of information, strategies and suggestions. Her videos and comments were quite helpful.

A.J. Nel1 reviewProfessionalism, Value

Joanna was amazingly helpful in the training of our dog. We did her online classes and it allowed us to work with our pet without the distractions of a new place and other pups being there. Joanna was quick to respond when we had questions and was wonderful at offering solutions for any questions or concerns we had. A plus side to the online classes were that we could take classes without commuting to Edmonton and that I could participate without my allergies causing me grief.
Thanks to Joanna or dog is well behaved and as first time pet owners we are now feeling confident.
