Jessie, a seasoned dog trainer with CPDT-KA certification, embarked on her journey in the dog training world over ten years ago. Her initial experience in San Francisco as a dog walker, where she managed off-leash groups of 8-10 dogs, laid the foundation for her career. The challenges of handling such a diverse canine group in a bustling city environment were the catalysts for her to delve deeper into dog training, emphasizing effective and empathetic communication with both her canine companions and clients' pets.
Throughout her career, Jessie has honed her skills by working with a wide range of dogs, varying in age, size, breed, and temperament. This diverse experience has reinforced her belief in the importance of patience, empathy, and employing science-based training methods. Her approach to training is deeply rooted in positive reinforcement and a strong understanding of canine behavior, underpinned by her commitment to continuous learning in the field.
Jessie's unique expertise, shaped by her urban experiences in San Francisco, makes her an ideal trainer for clients navigating the complexities of city living, particularly in urban areas like Kensington/Fishtown in Philadelphia, where she resides. Her local insights into urban living challenges add an extra layer of relatability and effectiveness to her training methods. Beyond her professional pursuits, Jessie enjoys outdoor activities with her own dog, Pagoda, and continues her quest for knowledge in the ever-evolving realm of dog training and behavior.
