My Story
Let me introduce myself. My name is Jody. To my four-legged friends who have visited me in the past, I am known Ms. Jody or the Treat Dealer. I started Manners Matter as a dream of mine, a way to meld many of my passions together. My lifelong love of dogs, along with my past experience in caregiving and education, gave me the well-rounded background I needed to pursue this journey. The path has been incredibly rewarding and heartwarming. The most fulfilling part for me is witnessing the relationship, understanding, and trust grow between owner and dog. I am planning on continuing this voyage of ensuring positive outcomes and enriching relationships for all those who attend Manners Matter Canine Training Academy!

What Our Clients Say
After getting a puppy from Bradford County Humane Society, a friend recommended we try Jody for training. We started out with an out of control puppy and ended up with a puppy who listened to us and BEHAVED!!! I especially like the commands Leave it and Respect. Jody is a miracle worker! 5/5 stars!!!
Our first meet was fantastic! Thank you Jody I felt so empowered watching you with Duke. Cant wait to meet you again.
