Today we’d like to introduce you to Johnette Wiggins.
Hi Johnette, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My name is Johnette Wiggins, this is my story.
Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, grew up on the east side of town, where my love for dogs started. The youngest of 6 siblings (only one with a unique passion for dogs). As a child, the daily routine was school then straight home with the dogs.
At the tender age of 8 years old, my dad betted me $20 bucks little old me couldn’t make the two Rottweilers which both were BIG GUARD DOGS obey my commands. He lost his money and never made another bet with me again.
At that moment, I knew Dog Training was my gift. Pit Bulls, German Shepherds &Rottweilers are the breeds I grew up on and trained. Years after working stressful jobs, not being happy, and living paycheck to paycheck, I wanted better in life not just for myself, but for my family as well.
The power of Prayer is real. My dream was the military but God’s vision was me being my own boss. In 2017, my dad gave me his bully to train because he knew his daughter was the truth. I began the certification process to become a Certified Dog Trainer.
Although I was already knowledgeable in certain breeds, in order to understand all breeds dug deeper into education. 2018, I enrolled in grooming school at Animal Behavior College where I earned my diploma in Professional Dog Grooming. Since then, I’ve worked hard to further my knowledge of the canine world.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It was rough especially after finishing up the bookwork portion in school the externship was delayed 4 months. Stressful.

Dogs come in one way but after the Netta Experience, they can’t get enough! The thing I feel separates me from the others, is the dog’s reaction and the authenticity behind this Smile, Energy, and Gift. It lets me know they really love and appreciate what I’m doing with them.
