Meet Jessica
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!
Check out what people are saying about Primal Dog Training:
"Jess absolutely saved our lives! She was the first person to truly teach us how to fulfill our dog’s needs and connect with her on a deeper level than we ever thought possible. Her level of knowledge is simply incredible, and her passion for what she does shines through in every session.
Not only did Jess help us better understand and communicate with our pup, but she also guided us through transitioning her to a raw food diet. This transition, along with Jess’s advice, solved many of the nutritional issues our dog, Lani, was facing. The results have been amazing—Lani is healthier, happier, and more balanced than ever before.
Jess has gone above and beyond to support us and Lani every step of the way, and we are forever grateful for her. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and will equip you with the tools to succeed, look no further. Jess is the best of the best!

"Jessie did such a great job helping me with my dog Buck! He is a 3yr old pit mix, and she was very knowledgeable about him being a working dog and needing outlets to satisfy him. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for dog training, or nutrition."

"I have a 4 year old rescue who is timid/reactive and really needed some assistance to help her be more confident in situations with other people. Jessie helped both of us with her patience and individual instructions based on our needs. I have seen some immediate changes in my pup and feel prepared to help her now and in the future. Jessie is great and I'm so glad I enlisted her help. I highly recommend her for anyone needing training for their dog."

"Jessie, thank you for your program! Without Primal Dog Training, my German Shepherd couldn’t even look at a dog without reacting. Amongst other issues we’ve had, I’ve put my faith in Jessie and her program, and she has delivered. She is professional, easy to communicate with, personalizes training based on your needs, and makes it fun to learn with your dog!"

"Jessie trained my dog in two sessions. He had been attacked by another dog and became very apprehensive when approaching another dog. He now is able to walk past another dog without the anxiety he once had. Jessie is very knowledgeable. She understands dogs by observing them, and tenderly works with them. Her love of animals shows through her work."
- Sue V.
"I was struggling with my reactive insecure dog and Jessie was able to help me work through these issues. She has become much more confident and is no longer shuts down or becomes reactive!
- Gabby G.
"I work with Jessica virtually and could not recommend her more! She's a wealth of knowledge and fun to work with. She goes through all the videos I send her and provides me concrete feedback, while always encouraging my progress. I've seen a massive difference in my puppy already and I'm excited to keep working with Jessica!"
