About Jess
I offer specialist residential dog training for aggressive, reactive, and anxious dogs in a peaceful, rural setting. I also provide in-person and online dog behaviour consultations to support lasting, meaningful change for both you and your dog. Most behavioural issues have a root cause in the dog's daily routine and lifestyle, so virtual sessions work amazingly well at tackling those causes rather than just surface behaviours.
With experience in the positive reinforcement world since 2020, I’ve since expanded my approach to include the essential pieces often missing from both force free and balanced training styles. I’m especially passionate about helping owners who feel like they’ve tried everything find a new, effective path forward.
My approach is holistic and tailored to the individual dog and owner. I consider every aspect of a dog’s wellbeing, including sleep, nutrition, daily fulfilment, and stress levels, because behaviour does not exist in a vacuum.
Alongside my practical work, I’m currently studying with the CIDBT (Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training) to become a fully qualified Clinical Canine Behaviour Practitioner and Trainer.
Favourite Part Of Being A Dog Trainer?
Seeing people start to trust their dogs again, after difficult behaviours have crept in.
Favourite Breeds
All working breeds, but I have a special soft spot for the herding and guarding breeds.
My Dogs
I have two German Shepherds, Storm my 5 y/o female who I rehomed aged 7 months, and Minsc my 2 y/o male who I've had from a puppy. Storm used to be "A Reactive Dog", and was incredibly stranger and dog aggressive. She is now a (nearly!) fully reformed character, and is living her best life. Minsc is a happy goof - his special skill is that he wakes up each day full of just pure joy for life.
