Hi everybody, we’re Jan and Jordan!
We are the founders and owners of Ever Forward K9 Training located in St. Petersburg, FL.
This is how our story began
At Ever Forward K9 Training, every aspect of our business reflects our commitment to transforming the lives of both dogs and their owners. We understand the challenges of dog training firsthand, not only as trainers but as owners who’ve navigated some of the most difficult behavioral issues ourselves. From creating individualized training plans to fostering strong, supportive client relationships, we are deeply invested in helping each dog reach their full potential. Our journey began with two extraordinary dogs who taught us invaluable lessons about patience, resilience, and the power of a second chance.
In 2018, Jan met Bubba, nervous and exhausted from wandering in Florida’s intense heat, dragging a heavy boat chain around his neck. Jan didn’t know at the time, but would later find out that Bubba displayed severe leash reactivity and aggression toward other animals. Realizing the challenges ahead, Jan was determined to give him a second chance. Bubba’s case required extensive time and commitment, but the transformation was worth every effort. Today, he’s a balanced dog who paved the way for us to bring a second dog into our family and was truly the spark that ignited our passion for dog training.
Fast forward to 2022, and Marbles came into our lives as his fifth and final home. He arrived with severe separation anxiety, needing daily fluoxetine and trazodone just to cope with being left alone. Marbles tested every skill and ounce of patience we had, but we knew he deserved a stable, loving home. Over a few months, he not only learned obedience and socialization but also grew confident enough to be left alone without medication or destructive behaviors.
Through our personal experiences with Bubba and Marbles, we’ve built a mission centered on helping owners who are facing similar challenges. We’re here to support you, keep your dog at home, and improve the quality of life for both you and your companion. At Ever Forward K9 Training, we know what it takes to go through these challenges because we’ve lived them, and we’re dedicated to helping you do the same.
