About

*** I am currently mobile and seeking to fill your need for a house sitter/ pet sitter for your summer vacations.*** I’m a certified canine obedience trainer and animal Reiki Master, specializing in positive reinforcement and reward-based training to restore peace in your pack. 🐾 Since 2009, I’ve helped dogs and their people build stronger, more trusting relationships through structure, routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. My goal is to guide you into confident, compassionate leadership so your dog can become a respectful, well‑mannered obedient canine citizen. I also support overall well‑being with energy healing, which can complement training as well as your own personal healing journey. If you’re ready for calmer walks, clearer communication, and a happier home, I’d love to work with you and your canine family member.

Jayne is absolutely amazing at what she does. She listened to my concerns about my new puppy being “aggressive” toward my 11 year old dog, and came in ready to assess the situation. She was actually able to read the dynamics of our household almost immediately, and give me real peace of mind about the entire situation. We did some exercises with my puppy (who responded positively right away). Both dogs loved her presence, even my shy 11 year old girl. And after just two days of meeting her, I can already tell a huge difference in the bond I’m creating with my puppy and how she responds to things I’m asking her to do. I can't rave about Jayne enough, or wait to see what we accomplish at our next session. If you’re looking for real, punishment free, long-lasting results, look no further than Jayne.

Jayne has done an excellent job with our 2 high energy and strong dogs. She has gotten them walking calmly together obeying her lead and strengthening the pack bond between them. I had reached out after a recent bad fight and thought structured focused time on a walk with someone who could handle the dogs would improve recent behaviors. The dogs look forward to their time every morning, my husband has reported much better behavior when he has walked them and I'm happy to have Jayne's services for our animal household. Our dogs - Teddy a 3 yr old male pit bull, weighs close to 70lbs. Corbin - a 2 yr old shepherd collie mix, weighs about 55 lbs. Corbin has been especially resistant to being placed into a harness. They would both try to bolt out of the door, were very reactive to every distraction and pulled me to the ground on a walk which is why I've been too anxious to walk them. I look forward to getting more comfortable walking them myself but with work scheduling needed help and again so very pleased with Jayne's care for our animals.

Details: 2 dogs • 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • I'm flexible • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

Jayne worked really well with my hyper pup, Mel. She gave me plenty of things to work on - including my tone while using commands, as well as plenty of steps to build up to basic commands. After one session Mel is already acting more submissive with me and is eager to please. Really thrilled with the results so far and looking forward to my pup becoming more natural with commands as time and practice go by.

Well, we just had our first session with Jayne last night to train my American Bulldog / Boxer mix who has been having some issues with anxiety aggression. We were scheduled for 2 hours, but only had to go one because Jayne was able to assess the situation and see that there is only some tweaking here and there that needs to be done TO US THE HUMANS. She may call herself a Canine Obedience Trainer, but what she really does is train the humans in the house how to be good pack leaders. Repetition, follow through and human behaviors were taught along with ideals of "no free treats" and "exercise, exercise, exercise" had my dog, and the other 2 dogs in the house, acting like completely new animals. We have already scheduled our next visit and between now and then, we have a lot of homework to do to train ourselves to be better owners. Thanks Jayne!!!
