Jocelyn has been so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in our sessions with our little rescue guy, Watson. We had been struggling and overwhelmed with leash reactivity, stranger danger, nervous and fearful behavior. She was able to guide us with game plans to manage and work on his behavior. We learned so much about dog behavior and body language. She was so patient and understanding with him. Her calm demeanor was very soothing for Watson and us as well! We’re all a work in progress, but we feel so much confident and capable on walks now and interactions. Just happy to have a better understanding of what Watson needs to thrive. Thank you, Jocelyn!

Jocelyn is an incredible trainer - an expert dog communicator, teacher and resource! Our high strung teenage pup had zero leash skills when we got her and now she’s really grasping how to loose leash walk, heal, and recall. Would recommend to anyone looking for positive reinforcement based training!

Jocelyn is an incredible trainer! Our puppy was completely obsessed with her from the first moment they met. We wanted to work with Jocelyn to get a handle on some adolescent puppy behavior and she gave us some great exercises that were easy to continue and really effective. She's a patient and extremely knowledgable teacher and had lots of useful personalized tips to help us grow closer with our pup and make it through a tough age. We'd love to work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer with a deep understanding of dog psychology who uses positive reenforcement for long term, rewarding results.

Jocelyn was outstandingly amazing with our 3 small dogs. They loved their sessions with her and she always made sure they were successfully progressing positively to reach set goals. She is very committed and provides valuable information, techniques and feedback on each session. She is very dedicated and keen to reach set goals. Thanks to Jocelyn our 3 small dogs have learnt how to respond correctly to our goals and we are extremely happy with their progress.I highly recommend Jocelyn to any dog owners who wish to teach their pet successfully via an enjoyable, positive and reinforcement manner.Thank you so much Jocelyn, you are amazing.

My partner and I highly recommend Jocelyn. Our medium sized dog Scrappy has people and dog reactivity and as first time dog owners we were often tempted by trainers who promised really quick results. Jocelyn made our boy feel safe as we learned and applied new skills, really respected his boundaries, and provided us with new approaches to desensitizing Scrappy to things that made him have "big feelings". I feel really connected to our dog through her training, understanding he just trusts us so much and isn't trying to be bad- and that we can help him feel less scared over time. We hope to continue working with Jocelyn!!

Like so many of the other reviewers, I cannot recommend Jocelyn more highly. She has been a miracle worker. We were working on general training with my 2 y.o. Border Collies rescue, Stella, when we realized that the problems she was experiencing were as a result of severe separation anxiety. During the first separation anxiety assessment Stella was unable to last more than a few seconds after I left before succumbing to crippling anxiety. After Jocelyn’s training Stella has been able to tolerate being left home for several hours. Jocelyn has always been both compassionate and professional, making the training sessions a pleasure. I so appreciate how she’s helped me provide Stella with a good life.

My experience with Jocelyn was positively admirable. My pooch, Rocky, warmed up to her gracious suggestions within minutes. She taught me the gentle tricks I needed to bring peaceful happiness to Rocky and myself. I witnessed a glee in his eyes when she would arrive and saw his attention to direction, his concentration, his general adorableness burst abundantly. The special event for me was Jocelyn taught me how to see Rocky in a very new and privileged way. Words are not sufficient for my gratitude toward her.I am sure I will stay in touch with her as time goes by which will also make Rocky very happy.Lastly, I wish everyone great success in their adventure. meg roseen

I can’t say enough good things about Mutineer Dog Training. We’ve been working with Jocelyn for almost four months and my reactive pup’s progress has been incredible. Our first day of training he couldn’t look at a fake dog 4 houses down without going ballistic. We’re now able to ignore a real dog just across the street :) That’s saying a lot for a guy pushing 11 years old! Mutineer has helped us lay down a long-lasting, compassionate and effective foundation for our reactive rehab journey. Jocelyn herself is so sweet and makes each training session fun and intentional. My pup gushes every time he sees her pull up (so cute!) She follows up with a homework plan, is punctual, and available to answer questions that pop up post-session. She sent us over helpful video tools even when she was getting ready for her vacay. 10/10 all around. We love Mutineer <3

Jocelyn was a great trainer for our dog Bailey. She helped us get our golden-doodle to listen to us and her positive reward approach really works! We highly recommend her!

Working with Jocelyn was amazing! She helped us learn how to manage our reactive pup’s behavior, and helped us foster a new sense of confidence within himself! She provides thorough homework and practice exercises, as well as holding sessions in different environments to help our dog gain confidence in a variety of settings. She was very flexible, and her approach is warm and compassionate.

I am very experienced with dogs/dog training, and have a show dog/sports dog. Jocelyn is one of the only trainers I trust with my spoiled baby dog. We worked with her for reactivity and the changes were like night and day! She is Force Free and I love that. Very easy going and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable asking her questions and sending her updates. One of the best trainers in LA, seriously!

Jocelyn is so wonderful! I adopted a senior dog and needed help potty training and helping her feel safe and happy in her new home. Jocelyn gave us helpful exercises to practice and an action plan and she was a supportive, calm presence.

Jocelyn did a tremendous job teaching our reactive retired racing greyhound how to be in public spaces and interact with new people and dogs. She is a very calm presence - our dogs love her. Highly recommended!

Jocelyn exceeded our expectations in just 4 sessions. She was so patient and positive with our dog. She had a good understanding of our dog's needs and offered him appropriate aged training. Her "homework" for us was specific and very practical. We highly recommend Jocelyn for any behavioral dog issue!
