Our Approach
Jessica uses a balanced approach to dog training; this means that she uses a combination of positive reinforcement and correction. Just like humans, it is important for dogs to understand what behavior is and is not allowed. Simply put, a dog must learn yes AND no. Jessica will show you how to reinforce the behaviors you want and correct the ones you don’t want. Often humans try to communicate with dogs as if they understand human language. Jessica is very good at teaching humans how to speak dog! Jessica teaches the dog owners how to take a leadership role to create balance both inside and out of the home.
Jessica uses a variety of tools depending on the situation and the dog’s needs. Owners will receive training on proper use of any tool that is necessary.
