We adopted a rescue pup who had been fostered with Jody for a little bit of time and from her explanation of how the dog came to her and the dog we were meeting, we knew it was a night and day difference. However, our girl is still shy and skittish around people.
We took Jody’s training course for fearful dogs and learned great ways to help foster trust with our new dog, establish routines, and advance her confidence. We have been using Jody’s “triangle method” to keep making progress. Additionally, we learned more about levels of adrenaline and how to minimize overt excitement.
We have not been with our rescue long, but in the short time she has been home, she has started to engage with us more, play with toys, and seems like an overall happy puppy. I would recommend Jody’s class to learn more about dog behaviors and useful techniques to improve trust and relationships.

Perfect blend of love and discipline approach. FurEver Home dog training really helps families understand the “why” behind why dogs have certain behaviors and helped us read our dogs behaviors. We are well on our way to have a peaceful home with well behaved dogs!

I was given an 8 year old boarder collie who had not had much in the way of training and I knew that for allot of dog trainers this would be a problem. But Jodi knew exactly what to teach me so I comunicate better with him and explained his bad behaviors in way I could understand. I would recomend Jodi to any dog owner. Well worth the money.

I met with Jodi virtually in preparation for bringing home a very fearful rescue dog from Big Bones. She gave me great advice. I am better able to look for cues and work through the things that frighten Charlotte, my little 7 year old Yorkie.
- Megan Gomez - Sep 06, 2024
We had a newly adopted dog that became very fearful after being with us for a week of to. This resulted in her hiding in a corner for 3 days. We enlisted the help of Jodi as she works with the rescue we adopted Betty from. Jodi was instrumental in helping us get Betty back into the part of the house that was her safe space and give us easy tools to follow that helped Betty learn to trust us and gain confidence. Since we live in Denver and Jodi is in Ft Collins we met over video and I was pleasantly surprised at how seamless the process was. I would highly recommend Jodi as a trainer!
- Lisa Gathercole - Sep 02, 2024
Jodi came to our house on a Sunday and we live way out. She helped us work with our high strung mill puppy who was being really aggressive with our other dogs. It took some time but Waffles is getting along with our other dogs and he's is really making progress.
- Scott Johnson - Aug 26, 2024
So much insight into how dogs think and how our demeanor and actions can affect them. Lots to learn and stuff we constantly go back to when trying to take care of our scared pup. Worth the price 😁 would recommend
- Dante Littles - Aug 20, 2024
Jodi came out and met our 4 month old Belgian Malinois rescue pup when we needed guidance on how to begin training her. Jodi quickly identified our pup as a "back of the pack" girl and saw that she was taking her ques from our 7lb. Chihuahua. This information enabled us to start working on our new pups confidence and negative behaviors. Jodi also gave us thorough information about how to keep our Mal calm, along with kennel training tips. I highly recommend Jodi for any training, whether it's proactive or in response to behavior issues.
- Katie Hinkle - Jul 31, 2024
Jodi has been great to work with. She is not only a unique and amazing dog trainer, but fosters shy, timid and frightened animals. Like many other reviewers, I discovered Jodi after finding an adorable rescue on Big Bones who was under her foster care. After making adoption arrangements, Jodi worked with me to understand the behavior of dogs, especially those with challenges like my dear Stolie, and help ensure I know how to behave so that Stolie understands me, too. I would be totally lost without Jodi's guidance. In just a few days we have made such wonderful progress that would never have been possible without Jodi's wisdom. She's an absolute saint and I would recommend her for anyone with dog training (or owner training) needs.
- Michael Denison - Jul 24, 2024
Jodi was incredibly knowledgeable. Not only does she know what she is talking about, but she is able to show you it works. Throughout the whole process we knew Jodi loved and cared for these animals and truly wants the best for them!
- Lina Hong - Jul 22, 2024
Jodi was very patient and accommodating in answering all of our many questions and addressing concerns. She gave us a lot of helpful information so that we felt comfortable in taking our precious puppy home. He is still quite skittish so has been hard to get a good picture of him, but I will send one at the first opportunity.
- Belinda Huemer - Jul 22, 2024
I worked with Jodi when I was adopting a rescue who was a little timid and shy. Jodi helped me out with several factors, including making sure the cat and dog would be compatible, addressing hesitation the dog had with tall men, and just making the dog comfortable after so much travel and being shuffled around. Her approach is unique in that she meets the dog where they are and taught me how to approach a dog without raising anxiety levels.
Overall, I think Jodi is an all around excellent trainer and resource, who is especially adept at understanding dog emotions and working to ensure the owner uses appropriate training techniques to achieve the end goal.
- Randy Owen - Jul 22, 2024
Great trainer and very experienced. Stays in contact through text for future messages/questions
- L W - Jul 04, 2024
I’ve owned dogs all my life, but Jodi gave me practical and helpful training that will significantly help in training my skittish (for now) rescue Quincy! She is amazing and I’m so grateful!
- Austin Harthoorn - Jul 02, 2024
It was all good. Prior to arriving all of my concerns regarding my dog were discussed so the game plan was in place. Jodi asked me to go through my normal routine with my dog ( she has high anxiety and adrenaline) that I did while getting her out of the car. After my attempt failed Jodi went step by step on how to get my dog relaxed and in the right frame of mind so her and I could be successfull. Within 20 minutes she had my dog calm enough stop pulling on her leash and walk normally. Then one of Jodi's dogs was introduced and it was amazing. My dog did not over react and by the end of the session my dog was lying down a few feet away from a strange dog.
I would highly recommend Jodi and FurEver. She is very patient with dogs but more importantly patient with me. She exhibits a calm that is immediately passed to the dog which in turn helped me out a lot. looking forward to more and a better relationship with my dog. Who, by the way is a rescue.
- Richard Marquardt - Jun 10, 2024
I booked a first meeting with Jodi Little at our house and she came, meet our dogs, assesed them and shared so many great observations as well as amazing tools to calm our anxious older dog and how to build up her confidence in general. As soon as we implemented the training we saw an immidiate change! We've booked follow up appointments at her ranch and can't wait to see how we can further approve our dogs' wellbeing and get help with leash aggresiveness and anxiety around other dogs. Jodi has an amazing understanding of dogs and how we can learn to talk their language instead of trying to bring them into our human way of living which only confuses them. I'm so happy I found Jodi and FurEver Home Dog Training!!!
- Louise Tang - Jun 03, 2024
Thanks for helping our shy dog find a forever home! She's quickly coming out of her shell and is ready for new adventures.
- Kimberly Knowles - May 24, 2024
Jodi was great and very knowledgeable. It is apparent that she has many years of experience in this field.
- Bianca Witt - May 23, 2024
Jodi was very helpul with our Austrailian Shepherd puppy that tried to herd us using nips. Her suggestions have really helped us to help our dog stay calmer and not try to herd us. She also gave us ideas and suggestions with other behaviors of our Aussie and also with our aging husky. I would highly recommend her.
- Mary Lois Knisely - May 15, 2024
Jodi was super knowledgeable and actually cared about making a difference in my dog’s behavior and well-being. She exceeded my expectations and was very honest and trustworthy. If you need help, you won’t be disappointed.
- Leah Novak - Apr 27, 2024
Jodi with FurEver Home Dog Training has been an imperative part of adopting our new shy dog. She took careful consideration of our dog’s unique situation since he’s likely never been someone’s beloved pet and is quite skittish. She is very knowledgeable in reading and teaching about dog behaviors. She has great techniques to help introduce our dog to his new home and to start potty training while continuing to build his trust. She is flexible with scheduling. Our training via Google Meets was just as productive online as it would have been in person which was very convenient for us. Jodi genuinely cares about building a relationship with you and your pet and will remain our go-to person for dog training.
- Cayla Savage - Apr 26, 2024
Jodi is amazing! She trained me on how to understand my dogs and become a confident pack leader. My nervous pup has improved so much and I look forward to training sessions and continuing training at home.
- Amber Eccleston - Apr 11, 2024
We’ve only worked with Jodi once so far (we are scheduling more sessions as I type) but the difference in our household is amazing. We adopted a little shelter dog a couple of months ago who, unbeknownst to us, took over the house. After meeting with Jodi, she trained us to how to train our dog. There was a difference immediately. He’s calmed down significantly and in turn, so have we ;) He has a ways to go but we can’t wait to work with Jodi again because she made such a difference within the first 2 hours of meeting her. We’re absolutely confident that with her help he’s going to shine and be the best dog we’ve had so far.
- Kathy Pallach - Mar 27, 2024
Jodi is a wonderful trainer that shows immense patience with pets and humans. You can see how much she truly cares for the dogs she trains with her careful and detailed instructions. If you have a dog that is shy or has been impacted by negative events, I cannot urge you enough to include Jodi/FurEver Home Dog Training to bring out the best with your dog.
- Greg Moran - Mar 25, 2024
Jodi is so good with the dogs. She is so knowledgeable and kind with the animals. I would totally recommend her to anyone!
- Kathleen O'Neal - Mar 25, 2024
You could really tell that Jodi cared about her dogs, especially those who needed special attention. She did a great job of educating us about what we needed to do to help our dog.
- Dale Garland - Mar 24, 2024
I recently adopted two lovely shibas from Jodi at Big Bones - not only was she incredibly kind and helpful throughout the adoption process, but she also took the time to go through a training session with me so that I could help them get settled in at home more effectively. I'm very grateful for Jodi's help and would absolutely recommend her if you're looking to adopt or need training help!
- Laura McIntosh - Mar 23, 2024
Jodi is an expert! Our first 1.5 hour session at our home she provided such valuable info to help me w/ Lively. She was healing after our first session. It’s all about training me!
- jana brandes - Mar 20, 2024
I enjoyed the experience & I learned about the frame of mind, I needed to get my dog into to better learn. She didn’t use hurtful means to get results. It’s simple and easy. It’s stepping up as a human, to better help your doggo!!
- James Brinkman - Feb 17, 2024
There aren't enough words to explain how truly thankful our family is for the service Jodi and FurEver Dog Training provided. We had no idea what to expect when adopting our rescue dog Aspen, even though we've had pets before. We quickly learned that rescuing a scared shelter dog is very different. Jodi walked us through everything, showing us how to interact correctly with Aspen, in order to gain her trust. Once we brought Aspen home, Jodi has still been available and willing to give us helpful hints when something isn't working. In the 2 weeks Aspen has been with us, we've never felt alone because we know all we have to do is pick up the phone and Jodi will be there. She said that the animals she works with are her family and we know that to be true. We waited 2 years after our previous dog passed to open our hearts up to another dog and I firmly believe there was a reason for that. Not only did we find a wonderful little Aussie to give a loving home to, but we got to meet Jodi also. I promise you, by using FurEver Home Dog Training, you will be "forever" changed.. In a great way!!
- Sandy Welte - Feb 14, 2024
Excellent experience. Jodie seems to be very knowledgeable about how to train dogs. It’s evident that she loves dogs and wants them to succeed in their homes. She also volunteers her time with a Rescue and takes in the more challenging dogs.
- Kathy Graybill - Jan 29, 2024
We recently adopted a furbaby from Jodi at Big Bones rescue. I rarely write reviews but Jodi is such a caring person and does SO much to alleviate suffering for our animal friends, including humans. She spent several hours before we left with Laney making sure we knew every aspect of how to best go forward with our absolutely terrified 5-year puppy mill Laney. We left with Jodi’s thoughts and several material things she provided that she knew would help us. And how is Laney responding to this mountain of assistance? She is progressing wonderfully!🥰.

- Katie Dickerman - Jan 17, 2024
Jodi is kind, encouraging, and patient - not just with my dog, but with me and my husband as well! We rescued a 6 month old pup (Harley) who was sick and had major separation anxiety and stranger danger. By the time I had called Jodi, I was at my wits end. I had tried calming sprays, toys, treats, everything you could think of, and nothing worked. Amongst other things, Jodi taught us how to read Harley’s body language and react appropriately to it. That was when I had really started to notice a difference in his behavior. Now, he is more confident and can be left home alone in his kennel without having a meltdown (my other dog, Yoda, is so grateful for that!). It takes practice, patience, and you need to put in the work, but it’s so worth it. I’d highly recommend Jodi to anyone looking for a dog trainer!
- Anna Welch - Jan 17, 2024
Great productive training sessions! Tender care of my dog while boarding. Great communication.
- The Contemporary Fluid - Jan 15, 2024
Jodi did an amazing job helping my sister and I with our dogs that were not getting along. Jodi taught us how to keep our dogs calm and make them feel like they belonged in our "pack". After just 4 lessons, we made remarkable progress and were able to enjoy peaceful holidays together with our furry family members. Thank you, Jodi!
- Cathy S - Dec 27, 2023
We are extremely impressed with the training program. Step by step instructions visually and spoken we went home with a confidence that we could pass onto our dog.
- Leslie Frantz - Dec 21, 2023
Jodi explains her thoughts for everything and makes sure we understand all of her suggestions! She is so calm & confident & my dog learns so well from her. We are so glad we have found Jodi to help us learn how to help our very anxious boy!!
- Meghan Ritter - Dec 11, 2023
We have done dog training at other facilities but we were never taught how to understand our dog and how to teach them to be a better family member. Jodi`s instruction and insight to our dogs personality has been a huge help and we have seen great improvement in just 2 sessions by both human and dog!
- Suzanne Lipe - Nov 27, 2023
Jodi is super knowledgeable and breaks down training into bite sized chunks and steps that are easy to work with. We came really far in just two sessions with our 3 pups. We worked on their boundary issues, barking and charging at the door and getting them more comfortable in going in their crates.
- Danielle Sender - Nov 07, 2023
Jodi is a dog whisperer. She understands how dogs operate. She was the foster home of my Charlie. Recently she came to help with pulling on the leash. I needed the education to help my Charlie. I would highly recommend her.
- Lisa Wallace - Oct 07, 2023
I am truly loving my experience with Jodi and FurEver Home! She has focused on getting to know my dog’s personality and behavior rather than simply “training” him to do what he’s told. The environment is calm and quiet. Training takes place in a home setting. After lots of observation and conversation, Jodi is helping me learn my fearful dog’s triggers and how to avoid them. I can’t recommend her enough!
- Crystal Swords - Oct 07, 2023
Jodi is amazing and she’s proof positive that you can “teach an old dog new tricks!”
- Margaret Grant - Oct 06, 2023
Jodi is very professional and on time. She had great suggestions for our household of four dogs, and implemented some great homework training techniques for us to work on until our next visit.
- Candace Butts - Sep 17, 2023
Jodie is very knowledgable, caring and loving. Definitely helped me with some key points to help with my anxious rescue. I will continue to use Jodie and absolutely recommend FurEver Home Training!
- Julie Ochs - Sep 10, 2023
I can tell how much Jodi really loves the animals she deals with, and I feel confident that my dog is safe in her care and under her training. Jodi has been especially attentive and skilled with our anxious dog and puts us all at ease. She is so knowledgeable and so kind!
- Carey Grell - Jun 05, 2023
Jodi helped me tremendously in understanding how my dog learns and what I do can affect that! My dog has a history of neglect and abuse on top of 9 months at a kennel. I have hope now that my dog can be trained after another trainer sent her home saying she could not be trained and may need to be put down. We have a long way to go, but this wouldn't be possible without Jodi and her knowledge.
- LaDonna Mason - May 15, 2023
- Connell Crews - Apr 07, 2023
Jodi was absolutely amazing in our meeting today. She answered all of my questions and did some training with my dog. It’s like a whole new dog, she was jumping on everyone and crazy and even after the first session, I see a huge difference! She is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone.
- Niki Jones - Mar 14, 2023
Jodi is very knowledgeable! In 1 video session we learned so much about our rescue dog! We worked on understanding how his brain works, how to make him feel safe and learning to comfort himself in his new home. We have been able to implement some of her suggestions and our new dog is doing so much better. Jodi is a wealth of information.
- Heidi Gracely - Feb 28, 2023
We felt it was a good start to working with our dog's leash aggression and Jodi has helped us with recognizing certain behavioral cues that we need to pay attention to. We look forward to continuing to work with Jodi!
- Sarah Murphy - Feb 12, 2023
I have a shepherd/husky mix that has had some people and dog aggression issues. Jodi has shown me how to become the pack leader to eliminate these problems while incorporating fun for me and my dog. The results have been quick and amazing. Now I’m learning dog language and body language to correct bad behavior before it becomes a problem. Jodi’s intuitive dog knowledge is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing Jodi, Roxie and I are benefitting enormously!
- Donna Sparks - Feb 10, 2023
Jodi has been wonderful in teaching my son and I had to manage our Eddie's fears and insecurities! We went from Eddie not want to go near my son or allow him to put him outside to now Eddie is sitting on the couch with his head in Justin's lap. Also, in one day we managed to go from a so-so walker on a leash to a champ!
She is very kind, insightful and had Eddie's best interests at heart!!
- Gayle Cunningham - Jan 15, 2023
Amazing how much improvement in dog's behavior in such a short time. Jodi really understands dogs and how to translate that into knowledge that I can use to help train my dog. She defiantly is the "Dog whisper"
- Rick Dean - Jan 04, 2023
My foster dog has SEVERE leash reactivity.. at over 100lbs, neither of us were enjoying our walks. Jodi spent two hours with us, ascertaining the underlying issues, teaching me how to handle him around dogs, desensitize him to triggers, etc.. we even went on a walk with another giant breed! Her training style is effective and efficient and she really understands these dogs. Will definitely be coming back.
- Lisa Basili - Dec 13, 2022
Jodi is wonderful to work with and customizes your training plan based on the dog and your own unique circumstances. She's absolutely great!
- Donna Moranville - Dec 08, 2022
Jodi is an amazing dog whisperer! She brings a sense of calm to all dogs and intuitively works with both humans and all types of dogs, My little rescue was abused and terrified of everything, but Jodi is helping him become his best self ! Just love this place ! Karen
- Karen Cummings - Nov 29, 2022
Jodi is a genius! She has opened our eyes so much to help us read our dog's body language and see the connection between their energy level and behavior. Her insight and tips are helping us shape our dog to be a happy, well adjusted member of our family.
- Meg Gallegos - Nov 27, 2022
I am furever in love with the training and guidance that Jodi provided me when I adopted my rescue pupper. I have attended many different types of dog training classes and Jodi's methods and techniques have been the most effective in developing trust with my very anxious and frightened rescue. I have deeper understanding of my dog's psyche and why she reacts the way she does and what I can do to help her calm down and gain confidence. After just a few weeks of using Jodi's training methods I am a better human at creating the positive environment my pup needs to live a happy life.
- Lynn Hayden-Ugarte - Nov 11, 2022
Great experience! Jodi is calm and confident. She took the time to evaluate our specific situation and our rescue dog’s individual needs and behaviors and gave us steps to make her more confident. We are struggling with general fear issues with our pup which calls for a broader expertise than basic training guidance. Jodi fit the bill!
- Nicole Sodano - Jun 23, 2022
Jodi at FurEver Home visited us to help our beautiful Aussie/Border Collie mix rescue to adjust to her new family and surroundings. Her advice was just what we needed to allow Piper to calm down and become part of our 'pack'. We would not hesitate to call on her again should the need arise.
- L Mcc - May 31, 2022
It was the most amazing experience for me and my dog 🐶 my dog has never been happier with the care and attention he received at furever home dog training. I will bring any future pets there for training and will recommend it to all my neighbors and friends 🙂
- Rodney Miller - May 03, 2022
Jodi spent one afternoon with myself and my Great Dane, Gatsby. I was having trouble controlling her on our walks. She was lunging, pulling and barking at every single dog that we came across on our walks. She is over 100 pounds and I could not stop her from those behaviors. Jodi gave us lots of tricks and techniques to make our walks enjoyable for both of us. Jodi is AMAZING! She knew just what we needed and it was very simple. Many months later, we are successfully walking everyday with no trouble. Gatsby has learned the rules and walks beautifully by my side. Thank you Jodi for your expertise!
- Jennifer Machado - Apr 24, 2022
Looking for a trainer for your pup? Look no further than Jodi! I adopted a puppy who was extremely timid and fearful of her surroundings, it was something I had never worked with a dog on and I was at a loss. I was stuck at home with a high anxiety puppy and feeling I made a huge mistake. Jodi was recommended to me by the rescue and it was LIFE CHANGING. Jodi came to home to work with me and my puppy. I loved her training philosophy and her demeanor was so warm and calm. She gave me several activities and training options to try. After two weeks of working with her suggestions, my puppy who would not leave the parking lot is out on walks, meeting new people and dogs without fear, and living more comfortably in her own home! I can't thank Jodi enough for her help and you will not be disappointed if you invite her into your pack! Thank you Jodi!!
- Emily Burns - Apr 19, 2022
We really appreciate Jodi’s help with our little man Gillian. My husband and I learned what we (me) are doing wrong in training along with correct ways to ensure he listens. Thank you Jodi!!
