I started Arrow for dogs and puppies of all backgrounds, but I have a particular interest in special needs shelter dogs. During my years as a County Animal Control Officer and later a Registered Veterinary Technician for a Municipal Animal Shelter, I saw first hand what led former guardians to turn their dogs over to public agencies. I also learned what kind of treatment could turn a dog’s behavior around and get them a second chance at becoming the lovable companions dogs want to be. My goal is to ensure that each dog who attends class at Arrow becomes a cherished and permanent member of their family, and a source of pride for its guardians. With that goal in mind, before the actual training sessions begin, I develope an individual program for each student; a program that recognizes and considers a dog’s whole environment; physical, emotional, and spiritual. I like to think of this as a “Whole-istic” approach. To learn more about this approach to good dog behavior, please contact me for a free in-home consultation.

My two brothers and I are master falconers and have enjoyed training and hunting with hawks and falcons for many years. Many falconers use dogs in the field and I was frequently drawn to why some dogs worked well and some didn't. I later found out it all had to do with the training the dog received. This led me to helping everyday people provide their dogs with the proper training so they can become valuable pack members.Please feel free to call me anytime with any questions or inquiries.

I wanted to be the best mom to Mason considering he was the first puppy of my very own. That is when I got the idea to become a trainer. I LOVE working with dogs, and I knew I could do nothing but gain from the experience and learning. It's nice to see how far I have come in training Mason. Training has been so rewarding for me. When I take Mason places and people see how well-behaved he is, it makes me so proud that I taught him how to behave that way. I want other people to be proud of their dog's behavior as well. I am excited to start working with dog owners. I want to show people that dogs are intelligent, loyal, and unique. I look forward to growing in the "dog business" industry.

Graduating Animal Behavior College with honors in 2003 as a Certified Dog Trainer has given me unlimited opportunities and I am really taking advantage of them. I’ve taught both group and private, basic through advanced, classes at one of the North American pet superstores five (5) days a week, at least three (3) classes (sometimes six (6)!) of up to twelve (12) dogs, for two (2) years. I would never dare say I’ve seen it all, but I can say I’ve seen A LOT, and that nothing, at this point, surprises me! If you are looking for a trainer with experience, I definitely qualify. Today I have my own canine consulting business, Boston WoofWorks!, serving Boston North and West, working privately with dogs from ten (10) weeks to ten plus (10+) years. I heard a great quote the other day: “Training establishes and maintains a positive relationship between dogs and people.” I’ve never been better able to explain why I train, what I love about training, and why I want to share the information with as many people as I am able. I offer private in-home training at affordable prices that includes Basic to Advanced Training and Customized Programs for Behavior Modification. I have standard goals for each class, but you also get involved in setting some goals you’d like to reach before our work is through. I teach based on the positive reinforcement methods I learned at Animal Behavior College and other advanced study and certification. However, I do realize that everyone, animals and people, are different, so I keep that in mind when it comes to solving problems. I am always up for trying something new. Since I own Woofworks!, I make the rules and I can approach each person, dog, and situation with the unique attention they deserve. I encourage you to visit my website, at http://woofworks.thedogtrainer.org for additional information. You can also reach my by telephone at 781.771.5170 and by e-mail at jen.trepanier@verizon.net.

I left my job in 2006 and volunteered at the FLSPCA. Working around animals made me realize that I could make a big difference in their lives. It has been estimated that approx. 60% of dogs in animal shelters are there due to unruly behavior. I wanted the opportunity to help them have a second chance in life, so I enrolled in ABC’s Dog Obedience Instructor Training program. I chose this program because, along with the curriculum that teaches students to understand what motivates a dog’s behavior, it included hands-on training. We’ll work on becoming a good pack leader through proper, positive and effective feeding, sleeping, house access and playing rituals and tactics.
