Calm & Experienced Dog Care

I’ve been working with dogs for nearly a decade and have experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and needs—from high-energy working dogs to more sensitive or older companions. I’m attentive to canine body language and behavior, which helps me keep dogs calm, safe, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I believe every dog deserves clear communication, patience, and consistency, and I always aim to create an environment where dogs feel understood and secure.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for dogs in their own home and neighborhood, where they already feel safe and confident. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior so the experience feels calm and predictable for them. During walks I prioritize awareness, clear handling, and keeping dogs comfortable in their environment.

Jilianne helped me build confidence working with a very smart and needy border collie, Dolce. I joined a home where Dolce has a really strong bond with her original handler and I was at a loss trying to navigate my relationship with her. Jilianne, with her deep understanding of dog psychology and the needs of intelligent dogs, showed me how to set boundaries and build trust with Dolce. Our relationship went from demanding behavior inside the house to calmness and our once anxiety-ridden walks continue to grow in trust and deepen our bond. Jilianne gave us very helpful homework and handouts every week to keep us working on our growing edges and building jobs and games to keep Dolce busy at home. I appreciate her direct communication style, addressing my weaknesses as a handler, coupled with an encouraging attitude and positive point of view. I’m so thankful for Jilianne and highly recommend her!

Jilianne was an amazing coach for me and my German Shepherd, Honey. In just a few weeks she was able to help me gain leash control and find him a daily job to do using scent training and decoys. She created weekly homework sheets for us as well to practice when she wasn’t around that were extremely helpful. Could not recommend her more. Thank you Julianne!

I can't recommend Jil highly enough for her exceptional dog training skills! Her patience and understanding create a positive environment for both dogs and their owners. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of every dog she works with. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, Jil is the one to go to!

If you have a high-energy puppy, Jili is a lifesaver! Our young Black Lab was a handful and struggled with listening, but her approach changed everything. She has a natural gift for connecting with animals and people alike. We loved that she emphasizes training the owners just as much as the dog. We feel much more confident and connected now, and don’t know how we would have made it without her specialized experience and constant support." Thank you Jili” ♥️

I've always considered myself a dog person, but truly understanding dogs, their dynamics, and how they communicate, turned out to be a whole different thing once I owned my own. Jilianne has completely reshaped the way I see my relationship with my pup. She has a gift for explaining things in a way that actually clicks. I came into training with a lot of frustration, and every time, she had both an explanation for why my approach wasn't landing and a practical exercise to try instead. Never once did I feel judged, just guided. She's since helped me bring calmness and consistency into my everyday routine in ways I didn't know I was missing. If you're a fellow dog lover who has all the right intentions but is just feeling stuck and frustrated, I can't recommend Jilianne enough.

Jilianne is such a caring and experienced dog professional. She has so much insight into dog behavior, and has a clear way of communicating what dogs need from their humans to feel safe, calm, and comfortable. Following her advice takes so much stress out of my relationships with my dogs. I trust and value her wisdom and care, always!
