Jessica Davis
Jessica Davis started Arfordable Dog Training in 2017 as a hobby. She has always been an animal lover and volunteered at a local shelter where she found her passion for dog training. After 3 years of working with reactive, fearful, and undersocialized pups, she became a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA) and received her CBCC-KA through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT).
Training Philosophy
Jessica Davis's training philosophy is to focus on positive reinforcement to train both the dog and the owner. She believes that positive training allows the relationship between the dog and owner to flourish and ensures well-behaved dogs remain as part of the family.

Customer Reviews
Stacey S.: If you are looking for a fear free positive reinforcement trainer, dog daycare or need to board your dogs, I highly recommend Arfordable Dog Training. I wouldn’t take my girls anywhere else. Every member of the staff is amazing. They treat my girls like their own and more importantly my girls absolutely love them.
Mari C.: “Thanks to Jessica and her team, a dog once deemed aggressive and un-adoptable got a second lease on life. With lots of patience and training from the team, Akita found her forever home and now lives with two other fur siblings.”
Lupe D.: Jessica Davis was very informative, professional, caring, and very helpful in teaching us the wonderful techniques to help to train our new little fur member. I highly recommend her.
Kimberly P.: We adopted a dog a little over 9 months ago. He is a Husky and Yellow Lab mix. He was so very unruly. We had Jessica come to our home for a series of lessons, and she was phenomenal! It’s still a work in progress, but I highly recommend her
Wendy R.: Having Jessica come to our home to help with our German Shepherd has been phenomenal. She gave us the knowledge and skills we needed to train our pup! He loved every minute of training and so did we. We learned so much and all of our concerns were addressed and fixed.
Nancy W.: Our family is so thankful for Jessica and her team at Arfordable Dog Training. Since adopting our rescue dog two years ago, we have used Arfordable for different services such as private training, group class, private playcare, and boarding and have seen such growth in our fearful, reactive dog. We wouldn't trust our dog to anyone else.
Allison B.: We have done board and train, day training, and a lot of fun Playcare. We love that Playcare always has a training component and that the team at ADT is very sensitive to what our dog needs on any given day. The staff at ADT has been so receptive to us and our dog's needs. They are always ready to change direction with us and work for what we need and what our pups need in every season as our Boston has grown up. Working with ADT is like working with a family.
Victoria S.: We wanted the right training for us and our energetic English Springer Spaniel puppy. Just walking into Arfordable Dog Training and seeing all the positive cues posted for both our puppy & us to learn, we knew this was the right place for training. Fergus loves his socializing with other dogs in Playcare and we love reading his report card. Now, we are being complimented by the neighbors how Fergus’s behavior is improving!
Catheleen B.: Jessica is very supportive and I can reach out at anytime and never feel like I am bothering her. If you have that dog that has some issues, reach out to them. You will not be disappointed. Just looking for basic training, sign up, you will be amazed by what you and your dog will accomplish. Or if your pup just needs some play time, drop them off. You never have to worry about your puppy as all the people taking care of your baby are trainers! I highly recommend Arfordable Dog Training.
Toni K.: We met Jessica and arfordable dog in 2021 and couldn't imagine life with out her and the staff at Arfordable now. It may sounds crazy, but it's true 2 of or 3 out bulldogs have lifetime memberships, and look forward to their Wednesday classes. Weather it is training or boarding we couldn't imagine our life without arfordable dog training.
Dr. Joseph W.: Friendly. Professional. Competent. Dedicated to Making a Difference. Using Cutting-edge Methods in Gentle Behavioural Modification. Teaching you some Home Schooling methods. Total focus on you & your dog. You’ll enjoy your dog more as a Good Citizen!
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.

All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
