Making Dog Training Affordable and Accessible

I started this primarily virtual dog training business to overcome barriers and help more dogs and their humans thrive! My online approach allows me to offer accessible and affordable training options to clients everywhere, regardless of their location or circumstances. I’ve recently opened back up to limited board and train clients in Midland, Michigan and surrounding areas (Saginaw, Bay City, Sanford, etc) as well.

To help keep training affordable, I partner with sponsors and affiliates. You might see some ads around my site, and sometimes you’ll even score a discount by using my links! But don’t worry, clicking my links will never cost you extra.

Your generous donations also help me make training accessible to everyone. You can support our mission through Ko-Fi and help dogs and their humans get the training they deserve. Every contribution makes a difference to a family trying to learn how to live peacefully with their animal. Often times, these clients are on the verge of giving their dog(s) up and our training keeps these pups in their homes.

Hi, I’m Jen, Your Dedicated Dog Trainer

With nearly two decades of experience, I’m passionate about helping dogs and their humans build incredible bonds. My journey started with a focus on aggressive/fearful animals and exotics, even training under a veterinary behaviorist in my early career! While I’ve worked with many challenging behavioral cases over the years, my heart truly lies in puppy development and raising future service dogs.

Now, I’m excited to share my expertise through online programs, board and trains, and personalized support. Whether you’re navigating puppyhood or looking for guidance with your service dog in training, I’m here to help!

More About The Zoo

In addition to a micro zoo of small animals (mice, chinchilla, bunny, fish, etc.), there are, of course, the dogs.

Ellie, an elderly border collie, very recently passed away. We miss her terribly, the pack isn’t the same without the Fun Police around. I hope we all meet her again in another life. When she went, so did part of my soul.

Pandora, my protection dog Caucasian shepherd. She’s about to turn two and is my wonderfully stable guardian for both me and the pack/other animals. She’s a giant goofy love much of the time, but takes her job very seriously.

Voodoo, my briard service dog. He turns 4 this year, and he has been an absolute life saver. I cannot begin to explain how absolutely amazing he is as a service dog or how many times he’s saved my life. True to briard form, he’s a silly boy with a serious streak.

Siren, my briard show/breeding prospect puppy. Shes very young but shows such great promise of being an amazing breed ambassador with genetics the breed needs to make a comeback from near extinction!

And finally, Molly, my step-dog golden retriever. She’s an integral part of the pack and while she doesnt have an official job, shes amazing for socializing other dogs and helping raise puppies to behave appropriately.

They are my whole world and often the only reason I get out of bed. They need to go out for adventures or do activities at home or whatever, I can’t just rest all day just because I don’t feel good.

All of them have taught me so much more about dogs than I could ever imagine possible, all in very different ways. I could ramble all day if I’m not careful. One day, each will get their own page, including what they’ve taught me and how they need to be handled.
