Meet Jessica!

Owner and Head Trainer

I've had the opportunity to learn the value of structure, trust, and clear communication through my work with dogs over the past several years.  My mission as a dog trainer is to help you lead your dog with greater success. To achieve our goal of creating a positive and fulfilling relationship between you and your dog, I will work alongside you to identify the appropriate training approach for your situation.  

I can assist you in resolving issues ranging from puppy training to more serious behavioral problems, which is where my expertise lies. I have a strong passion for helping struggling dogs work through reactivity. I also provide E Collar training lessons for anyone who is interested in more advanced training and off-leash dependability.

I am a Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist and have spent much time studying the link between gut health and behavior in dogs. I believe it's crucial we acknowledge the relation between what our dogs eat and their overall health- mental and physical. We need to help them thrive instead of just survive. It’s my goal through both training and nutrition to help our dogs live a healthy, full, and happy life!

Primal Dog Training is based in Grass Lake, Michigan but will be providing in-home dog training services in Cortez, Florida and surrounding Manatee County areas during the winter months from December through April. I work directly with families in their homes to create clear communication and lasting results. Virtual coaching lessons are available year-round for clients outside service areas.
