Project: Happy Dog
Jessica is a DTC Certified Dog Trainer and Puppy Training Specialist with 5 years experience as both a dog walker and trainer. She has an Honours Degree in Zoology and has studied with The School of Canine Science, The Dog Training College and The Dunbar Academy.
Jess' passion is in helping owners to read their dogs and understand their emotions in order to create truly solid relationships. Jess is a kind, compassionate coach skilled in working with owners through frustrating periods such as puppyhood and adolescence. Jess will help you laugh, relax and develop the skills we so often need through our dog’s training journey - patience, new habits, observation skills and a great sense of humour.
With many years experience handling groups of dogs of all shapes, sizes and outlooks, Jess is a highly evolved dog communicator. She works closely with dogs, through their development, playing a hands on role actively teaching them all the vital life skills.
Jess has an Irish Setter, Ernie, who is a chilled out, gentle giant and a testament to what teaching impulse control and calmness can achieve.
