What Dog Owners Are Saying
Real transformations from real clients using the REGAIN method
"I wanted to share some feedback about the support I've received from Jess when I really needed guidance. My dogs would bark constantly, they were unable to switch off and we really struggled with their reactivity inside and outside the home. Jess came to my home, observed everything calmly, and then put together a clear plan to help fix it. She is an absolute diamond. The hints and tips she gave were incredible, and I've already seen such a positive change in my boys because of her. I can't thank her enough for everything she's done."
Ronnie & Vinnie
"Wild at Heart has been there for me and our border collie Bailey since the beginning! After I received advice from another trainer and told to just accept the fact that we would never be in the same room as another dog, my heart was broken. I couldn't accept this and that's where Jess came to the rescue. Not only has Wild at Heart cared for Bailey like he was her own pup, he actually has lifelong friends all thanks to Jess. Her incredible compassion and pure dedication to the dogs she works with is immediately apparent to everyone who meets her. I couldn't have found a better teacher and guardian for my little man. He has his likes and dislikes but Jess reads him like a book and I always know he's safe with her!"

"We've been working with Jess to help our 1-year-old Patterdoodle who tends to get overstimulated around other dogs, and the progress has been amazing. Jess is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and calm—exactly what our dog needed. She took the time to understand our dog's specific triggers and created clear, practical strategies that actually work in real-life situations. We've seen noticeable improvements in our dog's focus, confidence, and ability to stay regulated around other dogs. Just as important, we feel more confident handling these situations ourselves. If you're dealing with an energetic or easily overstimulated dog, I can't recommend Jess highly enough."
