Background
Jennifer Mann is the founder and lead dog trainer at L.A. School for Dogs, and the creator of the Mann’s Best Friend method of dog and puppy training and online university.
Known by her clients and friends as their ‘doggie-guru’ Jennifer Mann is a credentialed Certified Professional Dog Trainer and behaviorist. She has been working in dog and puppy training, obedience, socialization and behavior modification for 25 years.
As early as age two, Jennifer turned to horses and dogs.
‘I had to be so grown up at such a young age, it was a relief to be around the animals where we just understood each other without even having to talk’ she says.
‘Jennifer was always bringing home stray dogs’ says her mom, ‘and before you knew it, they would be doing circus tricks in the living room!
It was then she learned of her instinct for communicating with dogs.
Jennifers mission became saving dogs from homelessness and overpopulation with spay and neuter campaigns as early as elementary school, volunteering at animal shelters, and helping neighbors with their dogs behavior problems.
Since then, Jennifer has acquired an extensive toolbox of training experience.
And working with abandoned or homeless dogs has often presented it’s own set of challenges where her ability to remain creative and flexible was born.
Jennifer also trained in the Washington D.C. metro area spending time with Congressional, presidential, and Military family dogs.
Jennifer has taught many people in the art of training dogs, provides trainer courses, internships and consulting to dog professionals.
In 2018 Jennifer was published in VoyageLA (read the story here).
