You've tried googling and asking friends, but you really need some guidance from an expert you can trust who will get to know you and your dog and advise you on an ongoing basis.

A Few Guidance Dog Training Success Stories
I have known Jess for many years and seen her excellent training skills. I have had her pet sit my own dogs too, which says a lot since I am extremely picky about who can watch my girls. I highly recommend Jess for all of your dog needs. She is not only an extremely skilled professional, but she is kind and compassionate to both dogs and humans.
Review from Malena Demartini, (Master Dog Trainer)
Over the last year, our pup has been experiencing increasing anxiety/reactivity with neighbors in our apartment. Before working with Jess, we tried working with another dog trainer but struggled. I had resigned myself to a stressful next few years. Enter Jess: after one session, our pup's anxiety around neighbors has significantly improved. Jess walked us through helping our dog feel less anxious. It is life changing to have the tools to create a peaceful walk with our pup. We are excited to continue working with Jess!
Review from Stacey W
We loved working with Jess from our first session. With our last dog we watched a ton of YouTube videos. There's something you can't get from a video though which is interaction and feedback to your specific needs. Jess is highly trained in her field and knows her stuff. She's patient and offers solutions that work for your family. I implemented her ideas for jumping and it worked within 5 tries. Definitely need to continue reinforcing it but I was impressed! I would highly recommend her and her services!
