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 clarity and confidence, creating a balanced and fulfilling relationship. I work closely with each client to identify the most appropriate training approach for their individual dog and goals. 

I assist with a wide range of training needs, from puppy foundations to more complex behavioral issues, which is where my primary expertise lies. I am especially passionate about helping dogs overcome reactivity and behavioral challenges. I also offer E-collar training for clients seeking advanced training and reliable off-leash freedom for their dog.

As a Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist, I have taken time to study the connection between gut health and canine behavior. I believe it's crucial we acknowledge the relation between what our dogs eat and their overall health- mental and physical. 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.
