Nola Jones has dedicated her entire life to the skill of training animals and people. She is the trainer's "trainer" and a true "dog whisperer."

Growing up on a small farm, Nola has lived with and observed animals all her life. Nola's fascination with animal communication, pack and herd dynamics, and interaction with humans has given her insights and training abilities on a level most people never achieve. Her unique tools and successful training techniques include voice tones, facial expressions, body movements, and the full understanding of how a dog interprets all of the above. Nola adds praise, reward, and repetition for a balanced formula.

Nola is greatly admired for her ability to work a dog at great distance and specializes in this area of training. Nola takes all dogs and people. She does not screen. Dog training is what she loves no matter how hard the challenge.

Nola's positive and natural training program uses no training restraints because you learn to work with your dog through trusting communication. She has developed a unique program for training directionals and techniques for dog skills.

Nola's love for animals transferred over to people when she began counseling women who had lost children. Her skills of reading body language, facial expressions, and hearing verbal tones made her one of the nation's most sought after counselors. In order to duplicate herself, she printed her 9-Step Recovery Program into a Training Manual. Nola held training seminars across the country and has appeared on television shows as well as radio broadcasts for over 10 years.

"Animals Amore" is another program that Nola has developed which brought handicapped children together with farm animals for various therapeutic techniques.

Nola continues her outreach to children even today by holding children's Dog Camps throughout the year and sponsoring educational field trips for students wanting hands on experiences with working dogs.

In the agility ring she has has shown Jack Russells, Welch Corgies, Poodles, Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, American Stanfordshires, and all Americans.
