I really enjoyed Arianne's social media posts & online workshops on dog training, so after a discovery call, I signed up for 3 online one on one sessions. I really appreciated her understanding the reactions of my 2 yearold (covid) puppies Axel. Just by describing his behaviors, she was able to see into his fears & small comfort zones. After the 1st session, I was able to see into his fears before reaction & measure his comfort zones. We slowly expanded his socialization from there. Her training techniques & drills of offering him choice is gently, joyfully & naturally conditioning him to quickly choose me & my leadership as the highest value in each scenario. This is happening slowly but surely with time & the beautiful progressions that each of her simple exercises build upon. Axel & I still have a ways to go but each time we work together it builds our skills & our trust. He teaches me so much about courage as we work together to expand is comfort zone & socialization. Thank you Arianne for your wealth wisdom, your tough love in redefining both my story & my understanding of socialization. Your techniques & teachings have brought his levels of calm, trust & joy to places we never could before & it is just the beginning. I highly recommend your services & will be back for more for myself. More...

my boyfriend and I have only had a single meeting/session with Arianne, (and over video call at that), in regards to our 7month old puppy's biting. and already with that single meeting less than 2 weeks ago we are seeing amazing progress on her road to better manners and keeping her teeth to herself!!!! Arianne was sooooo helpful and kind for and to us, and absolutely altered out thought process towards how we handle our pups biting!!!! so much improvement already in such a short time, and with such simple easy to follow, and such convenient advice and tips!! will definitely be recommending joyful support to friends/family i have in search of assistance with training for the dog and new training skills, aswell as coming back again if need be!!! 10/10 recommend, thank you so so much for all of your help!!!!😁😁 More...

In my household we have 3 large breed dogs, so it is very important that our pack is well behaved. Through the guidance of Joyful Support we have been working on strengthening trust and building a stronger relationship while having FUN! It has been so rewarding watching us all progress together, and we look forward to each session. I get compliments both when I bring my pack out and when visitors come over saying how well behaved they are! After each training session we receive a detailed email on what the focus areas are, with video link demonstrations. Arianne and Adinda are very positive, encouraging, and supportive. We just completed the introductory package and will be moving on to the 6 week package and we can’t wait! We highly recommend Joyful Support! More...

Cooper and I enjoyed our first sessions with Arianne and Adinda! I love the emails and videos we receive after the session, reviewing what we went over in class. They’re also very quick replying if you have any questions once you’re home practicing. The one on one is so helpful, and I can’t believe how far we’ve come! Our 11 year old daughter is also joining us and learning the games being taught. I cannot wait to see where the next sessions bring us! More...

We’ve been loving working with Joyful Support & have had great results in such a short period of time. I cannot say enough good things about Arianne and her daughters. They are so kind & helpful and their training approach is founded in joy & positive reinforcement. I was honestly shocked at how quickly our dog responded to the training techniques. We drive an hour & 15 mins to work with Joyful Support & it’s so worth it. You can feel the passion and patience that everyone has. I highly recommend! We’re excited to continue working with them!

Joyful Support isn’t the basic sit, down, stay dog training. It’s about building a connection, trust, a bond and training you to train your dog to be what YOU want them to be. Was I skeptic at first as to what we could possibly accomplish is 3 lessons? Oh yeah. But in 3 short weeks, I’m learning how my pup thinks, turning negative behaviour into positive through games, and more. This little girl below ⬇️ will grow up to be ideal dog that’s a perfect fit for myself and my family. More...

In our time so far with joyful support I have loved building a stronger connection with our puppy. Not just myself but others in and outside of our household have noticed her thinking through decisions and beginning to make good choices all on her own! The games and sessions are fun for Cricket and for us to play/train with her. Because she is having fun she is learning so fast and I look forward to seeing her future progress and building our relationship further. Thank you Joyful Support! More...

In just 3 short weeks, my bond with North has strengthened, & his self control has improved significantly, not only do we enjoy our weekly sessions but also the daily games we put into practice at home aswell. The fundamentals have been great to learn, and we cannot wait to see how much more we can learn in our upcoming classes. Methods of positive reinforcement and connection building that joyful Support teaches are aligned with my values. Communication is fantastic, would highly recommend this lovely duo! More...

We have been so impressed with the Joyful Support Team. We have a high anxiety dog who has always been anxious about trainers. He absolutely loves his sessions with Arianne and Adinda. He is clearly comfortable with the loving, supportive atmosphere. Recently, we completed our 3 session beginner class. Through the games and exercises they send home, our connection has improved exponentially. I've also noticed a different trust level since we began and that in turn has helped with his obedience. He is learning to make the right choices with confidence and positive reinforcement. We are entering into our 6 week course now. We cannot wait to see what we accomplish throughout the next several sessions. We absolutely recommend this dynamic duo of dog trainers. More...

Joyful Support has strengthened the bond between my 6 month old puppy and I immediately within the first session. Their method lines up with my values in being the best dog owner I can be. And the best part is, it's all about PLAYING!! Who doesn't want to play with their dog? More...

Joyful support has been such a life changer for myself. Our rescue Finn came to us with almost no human interaction and while he is the the friendliest boy now I didn’t feel that he was connecting with us, fully trusting us. After 1 session my heart was soaring and now after 3 writing this brings me to tears. Our bond is so much better. I can’t wait to see what else these next sessions bring. Finn gives a 5 nose boot review !! More...

We have gained so much knowledge from Joyful Support. We started recently but Oscar is still in the puppy stage and is now calm. The patience that Joyful Support has and ability to help us is very appreciated. We recommend them to anyone who is getting or has a dog to consider Joyful Support in Watford. More...

Our experience has been amazing with Joyful Support. Starting training with our pup as soon as we got her has been so beneficial. Involving the kids has been a great addition to training as well. Excellent communication and follow up. We are seeing results with our introductory package and will continue in order to help us understand our dog. The perspective taken by joyful support was just what we were looking for! More...

We have just completed the first 3 sessions with Joyful support and Arianne has been very supportive, non judgemental and listens to our concerns and answers our questions. She is very available and responds to texts and emails very quickly. While our boy Chunk is a challenge, she helps us approach the training with fun and love. We have every intention of continuing with the training until Chunk (and we the owners) have the confidence we need. As Arianne often points out, she trains owners, not dogs. We have found the lessons and games enjoyable an I see some improvements. Thank you Joyful Support! More...

I absolutely love her work! She has given me amazing photos. The best ones were the outtakes of my kids because it represents the chaos that they are. If she is able to photograph my difficult kids, she can photograph anything and make it amazing. She has done photography for my business Sarnia Scare Grams which people were requesting her photos. HIGHLY recommend!! You will NOT be disappointed!! More...

I met this wonderful photographer months before her wedding day, she and I connected right away. This woman is as passionate if not more than I, I have never utilized her services before. But that’s not holding me back from telling you how amazing Shawna is! Shawna and I went to a garden centre one day with my piped sized human. There was a portion of their land filled with sunflowers and Shawna seized the opportunity to get a few photos in. One of the photos, she entered into a magazine for world photography day, and wouldn’t you know it, her entry was selected and my piped sized human was in the magazine! Shawna can capture beauty in every day life and still make a wonderful day of it. ❤️ More...

Southern Valley Photography was amazing for my granddaughters first birthday party! The pictures were vibrant and so realistic. What made this whole event great was seeing the smiles being captured on on my families faces and they were not asked to pose. To anyone who wishes to have someone take pictures of your loved ones, Southern Valley Photography is the call you need to make. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟! More...

I just completed the 3 introductory lessons with my 1-year-old Aussie x collie mix Copper and am really enjoying it so far. I feel the games have helped with his confidence in new situations so far. I’m looking forward to continuing with the 6-lesson package and seeing how Copper and I can continue to grow! More...

I just finished the introductory package with Joyful Support and I am so happy I decided to do it! Arianne and Adinda are both so lovely and very positive with there training techniques. I have been having some challenges with my one-year old labradoodle and am already feeling more confident after just three sessions. I have decided to participate in another six lessons and am very excited to continue building a better relationship with my dog! The videos they post are also awesome to go back and review things and learn different techniques. Both my dog and myself are so happy I don't know what I would do if I didn't have there help! THANK YOU! More...
