​​​​​​​​About Jenny

I'm the classic 'grew up with dogs' type of person. Life just isn't the same without'em! But living with and loving dogs isn't a credential - scroll up to see mine.

​

Hands-on practical experience living with and training reactive dogs, fearful dogs, and resource guarding dogs. Have a working breed? Oh yes, I know about that too!

 I specifically enjoy connecting with reactive dogs; those anxious dogs that can seem so scary or hard to live with. Loving and living with those dogs has changed my life forever and if you're reading this, I know they've impacted your life in some way too. 

As a passionate rescue & shelter volunteer -and foster home- I come into contact with myriad breed types and personalities. And if your case isn't in my wheelhouse? I always refer to specialized professionals free of charge. 

 

You deserve help, and so does your dog.

How do I train? 

We're going to build behavior patterns through reinforcement and management.

I frequently use counterconditioning and desensitization. You will have homework.

​

Training isn't just for dogs, it's for humans. The behavior we want is highly rewarded so it can occur again and again. Training shouldn't be stressful. I don't use e-collars or prongs.

 

Do you use tools like e-collars or prong collars? My clients come from all sorts of backgrounds and all sorts of methods. I will never turn you or your dog away simply because of tool usage.  I ask you remove all tools before our sessions if possible - if you feel you cannot but want a path to move forward, let's do it together at pace comfortable for you and your dog! 

​​

Lastly I also query if your canine is presenting any pain and update your current in-house protocols. We'll go over a multimodal approach; looking at your canine's daily routine, struggles, and general soundness.
