Wild at Heart Dogs

Trauma Rehabilitation & Reactive Dog Coaching

Compassionate nervous system support for dogs and their people

Hi, I'm Jess

I'm the person behind Wild at Heart Dogs, specializing in trauma rehabilitation for dogs and reactive dog coaching.

I work with dogs who are struggling with reactivity and trauma…

and the people who love them.

Because a lot of the time, it's not just the dog who's overwhelmed.

It's both of you.

Real Change. Real Connection. Real Life.

What Our Clients Say

Real transformations from real clients and their dogs

"My dogs were completely uneducated and struggling with dog reactivity and lunging. Jess came to my home in South Tyneside, observed everything calmly, and then put together a clear dog rehabilitation plan to help fix it. She is an absolute diamond. The dog coaching hints and tips she gave were incredible, and I've already seen such a positive change in my boys because of her."
