Jess is nothing short of a fairy godmother for dogs (and their humans).
My Frenchie had a very complex journey. After surgery, he became mentally broken, developed PTSD, and severe touch aversion. We had already been let down by two behaviourists, and I was feeling completely lost and hopeless. Then I found Jess and everything changed.
Jess’s holistic approach, her genuine care, and the way she truly listened to both my concerns and my dog’s physical limitations made all the difference. She didn’t offer a generic plan, she created a fully tailored program that was realistic, thoughtful, and designed specifically for my dog.
The biggest key to success? Trust. You have to totally trust Jess, and I did. What followed has been absolutely life-changing for both me and my dog.
If you’ve never lived with a touch-averse, complex dog, you may not fully understand how big this is, but I genuinely never thought I’d be able to take my dog to the vet again without sedation. And yet, we did. Twice. He had his booster vaccinations without sedation, without a muzzle and without attempting to bite the vet. I cried that day - happy tears.
If anyone had told me in the past that my Frenchie would calmly wear a muzzle in public spaces, I would have said they were crazy. But we got there. Jess also massively helped my confidence in handling and training my dog. Did I believe remote work could achieve this? Honestly, no. But it did, and it has been incredible.
What truly sets Jess apart is that her program involved fewer exercises than the previous behaviourists I worked with yet it has been by far the most successful. That’s because she understands dogs, their breed, their limits and their emotional state. That’s all you need when working with a behaviourist.
If you feel stuck, lost, or unsure of your next steps, Jess is your person. I would recommend her over and over again. Without her, I wouldn’t have the happy Frenchie I have today - a dog who is finally living a normal, calm, and fulfilled life.
Trust the process. Trust Jess. She truly knows her stuff. 💛🐾”

I was hesitant to make yet another referral to a behaviourist, with limited improvements in the past. Connecting with Jess was a totally pleasurable experience! I enjoyed our zoom sessions and always felt Jess really listened.
We had got really stuck for over 6 months and part of me felt that nothing could be done having exhausted the advice and medication from my vet. Main issue being Dora not wanting to go for walks.
Jess focused on what I wanted to achieve and came up with a great training program that completely worked! Life is fun and much more enjoyable again. We are now looking forward to our holidays next week”.

“Jess has helped me so much with my relationship with my very excitable viz x lab. The guidance from Jess on setting boundaries has made such a difference. I now enjoy walks with my dog and am not looking to avoid dogs and people because she gets so excited. She is making much better choices without the need for me to constantly manage things. We have identified how she likes to play and incorporated that into our walks. We have even joined neutral walks and are part of a social walking group. My confidence has improved massively when handling my dog, even other people have commented on how much more in sync we are. Jess listens to your concerns and provides non - judgmental guidance. I have really enjoyed the zoom sessions and have learnt so much. I would recommend Jess to anyone who needs help with their dog.”

"We joined a behavioural assessment for our dog Poppy who is a dog-reactive shepherd. Jess is very knowledgeable about shepherds and her advice really resonated with us. Both Jess and Kym were professional, understanding and great at teaching. They listened well and got us working around 3 different dogs within 1 hour. This is something no other trainer has ever done with us. We did the assessment yesterday and I’m just back from a super successful walk with Poppy. I feel like we’ve just been handed the missing piece to our puzzle and we are looking forward to continuing the work they have put in place for us. Thank you!!"
