Certified Dog Obedience Trainer!

Pet care experience

Animals are my greatest joy in life! I have spent my entire life with only one great passion...animals! Ever since I was a child I have loved animals, so much that I decided to make a career working with dogs. I am a very active person and can handle dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love hiking and would enjoy adventures of all kinds with any dog. I'd be happy to play with your dog down by the river, at the park or even just in the back yard. As an Animal Behavior College certified dog trainer I would be sure to use my time with your dog to encourage appropriate behaviors as well. I would not only provide exercise but perhaps some mental stimulation as well. Also, with experience working in a shelter environment and as a veterinary assistant, I am comfortable and experienced with any kind of dog. I have experience working with all dispositions and breeds. I also know how to do light grooming such as baths and nail trimming if needed. I am willing and able to administer medications. I have done pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a teenager. Your dog would not only be in safe hands but also have an enjoyable and enriching experience with me!

Jen is pawesome from head to toe! Or is it ears to tail...? ^_^ I am extremely proud to call Jen a fellow Animal Behavior College alum. She not only understands a range of dog behaviors and motivation she also combines her knowledge with compassion, patience, and decorum - even when she is getting muddy paw prints all over her pants, haha! She helped to mold our American Staffordshire Terrier rescue into the loving boy is he today, even despite his formerly abusive past and prior returns to the shelter. He loves seeing her, no matter how much time has passed - and so do I. <3 Vote for Jen! I mean, book Jen today! ^_^

Jennifer is a natural with animals, dogs in particular. She has been a good guide for the dogs she has trained over the years, evidenced by her dog's behavior. She will not dissapoint!

I've known Jennifer for most of my life and she has always been the person I ask all my animal questions to. She's kind and compassionate and studies animal behavior so she can better understand them. Jennifer is also an excellent dog trainer. She's a great resource for people to learn about animal rights and when she talks about it, her passion is evident. When Jennifer is around any animal they seem to already know her and they are very comfortable around her. Jennifer would be a valuable asset to your company.

Jennifer is absolutely wonderful with animals. She has such a calming,welcoming personality. I don’t trust many people with my dog Doodle, but I know Jenn would always take good care of her. Doodle instantly loved her and was relaxed, usually she barks her head off at new people. Highly recommend her for any of your needs!

Information Jennifer H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet has any special needs whether, physical or behavioral. This way I can be better prepared for caring for them.

A typical day

One of my favorite activities to do with my own pets is to hike with them. I love the outdoors. I would also be more than happy to just walk your pet around town or play fetch in the yard.
