The Language and Training Retreat
Date: October 9-11th, 2026, near Salem, OR
Are you ready to deepen your bond with your dog?
Imagine looking into your dog’s eyes—and actually understanding what they’re trying to tell you. Not guessing. Not hoping. Knowing.
Join a small, intimate group of devoted dog lovers and their four-legged companions, nestled in a beautiful villa surrounded by towering trees and fresh, open air.
Here, you’ll go beyond basic training. You’ll learn the science of speaking dog—how to read behavior, respond with clarity, and train with true understanding and compassion.
Wander through nature on guided walks as you practice loose-leash skills beneath a canopy of outstretched branches, turning everyday moments into opportunities for connection.
Experience the power of doggie mindfulness—discover how your own calm, grounded energy can transform your dog’s behavior in real time.
Most importantly, you’ll gain a profound understanding of what your dog is trying to communicate—and leave with the tools to create a more peaceful, connected life for both of you.
Learn Dog Language
Jenna has spent nearly 30 years studying and living the language of dogs.
She’s done this through hands-on experience, deep research, and a lifelong commitment to understanding behavior. This expertise forms the foundation of everything she teaches, because true connection starts with clear communication. When you can truly understand your dog, everything changes.
You’ll learn how to read what your dog is trying to tell you—clearly and in real time—so you can respond with confidence instead of guesswork.
You’ll deepen your dog’s trust in you, creating a relationship built on safety, clarity, and mutual respect.
You’ll strengthen your bond in a way that goes far beyond obedience—into genuine partnership.
You’ll begin to see potential issues long before they escalate—minutes, days, even months ahead—and know exactly how to prevent them.
And when challenges do arise, you’ll finally understand why they’re happening—giving you the power to address them effectively and with compassion.
Forget the Crowds
We’re keeping the retreat small, so everyone gets focused attention.
With just 7 rooms in the villa, this retreat is intentionally intimate—creating space for meaningful connection, personalized guidance, and real transformation. One room is reserved for Jenna, your trainer, ensuring support is always close at hand.
By keeping the group small, we’re able to truly get to know one another—building trust, community, and lasting relationships between both humans and dogs.
And because your focus should be on learning, connecting, and enjoying the experience, all meals and drinks are thoughtfully included. Simply arrive, settle in, and let everything else be taken care of.

Problems We Can Solve and What We’ll Teach
We’ll teach you to speak dog, of course. But we want to make sure you go home with a better behaved canine, too.
Although we can privately handle any problem behaviors — up to and including extreme human aggression — there are some limits as to what we can safely have in a group setting. We can handle:
Will your dog be perfect when you go home? No, but they’ll be much better, and you’ll have the tools to keep working on it!
Things We Can’t Address
Due to the group nature of a retreat, this is not the place to address aggression. Unsure if your dog is aggressive or over-excited? Call Jenna at 951-704-5766 or send a video to [email protected] and she’ll help you figure it out!
