My name is Jeni, and I was lucky enough to grow up in the Les Cheneaux Islands, where I spent my entire childhood and graduated from high school. Like many families here, we always had dogs — energetic, unruly ones that kept life interesting and sparked my early love for training.

My professional journey took me to Cincinnati, Ohio, where I got my start at the Queen City Dog Training Club. I am still an active member there and have served as an instructor teaching basic obedience classes, working directly with owners and their dogs. Alongside instructing, I trained and competed with my own dogs, which quickly grew into a passion for performance and competitive dog sports.

Over the years, I have earned multiple AKC titles in Obedience, Rally, Hunting, and Barn Hunt, and competed extensively in Conformation (dog showing). I was proud to be the #1 Owner-Handled Weimaraner in the country, earning ribbons at some of the most prestigious venues in the dog world, including:

• AKC National Championships (Orlando)

• Philadelphia Kennel Club Dog Show (nationally televised)

• Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (New York City)

After returning home to Les Cheneaux, I created Best in Cheneaux to provide knowledgeable, structured private dog training and in-home boarding. I am ideal for puppies, active families and for owners who value structured training and thoughtful care. I do not work with aggression or serious behavioral issues, allowing me to focus on strong foundations, manners and dogs who thrive in everyday life. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and their unique needs.
