About
I am a certified dog behavior consultant, Mother of four who also has a degree in special education. My passion has always been kids and dogs. Many dog behavior consultants and trainers offer great solutions but not always ones that can be successfully achieved with young children in the home. My focus is to offer safe and fun dog and baby friendly techniques that will be practical in your home. The combination of my background in Special education and dog behavior along with living with kids and dogs every day allows me to support families in a unique way. I love helping dogs and kids live harmoniously under one roof. Often dogs are surrendered to shelters when families are expecting a baby. I love when we can give suggestions and advice that helps them take it one step at a time towards success!

Jen is the best when it comes to dogs and kids. With her experience and knowledge, she has helped many families and their pets live in harmony. She has a great sense of humor, too! I highly recommend Jen for any behavioral issues and breed-specific "opportunities" not just dogs and children.

I recently tried to adopt a young female dog from a rescue. Soon after the dog arrived difficulties between her and my 14 year old female began to manifest. I phoned Jennifer for consultation and help with the situation. Jennifer immediately understood the behavior both dogs were exhibiting and clearly explained to me what was going on. Through our conversation, I realized these two females were not a good match. This adoption did not work out for me however, I will try to adopt again. When that time comes, I will speak to Jennifer first and discuss the available dogs. With her help, I can make a more suitable selection and avoid another disappointing experience. I value and trust Jennifer's knowledge and experience in dog behavior. I have every intention on having Jennifer as my trainer when I get a new adoption.

I've known Jen for 13 years. Her extensive knowledge of baby, child and dog behavior, as well as her expertise and dedication is an invaluable resource. It has been an inspiration seeing the countless families that are able to have a harmonious home and not have to give up their beloved dog/s. It is my great honor to work with her and call her friend. I highly recommend her programs for any expectant family with dogs, including families that may already have children. Jen is, literally, a life saver!

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Yes, I am always attending annual conferences and online courses to continue my education. Keeping up to date on current science and behavioral information is essential to being the best dog behavior consultant I can be!

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I most often see families preparing with their dogs before a baby arrives OR after the baby has arrived and we are strengthening safety and bonds. I do sadly see many cases where there has been a bite or growl. The good news is that most often we can have a very successful outcome in these cases!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Interview each person and ask many questions! Find out their experience with the challenges and type of service you are looking for. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what qualifies them to support you and your family. Remember a dog trainer and behavior consultant is coming into your home....be careful and inquire about that person.
