WE LET THE HOUNDS OUT

Balanced Relationship-Based Training & Structured Obedience Hikes!

Vancouver Island, BC.

JESS - OWNER & OPERATOR

My passion for dogs started as a little girl; walking my childhood dog, Keisha, around the neighbourhood. Keisha spent every second by my side….or quite possibly, I spent every second by her side. She was my best friend (& very tolerant).

From a young age, working with dogs has always been my passion and dream. We had many dogs growing up & I spent many summers on the farm. From horses, pigs, goats, chickens & of course dogs; you could definitely say I adore the company of animals over people…

Today; I have my soul dog, Harley. Over the last 6+ years; I have been handling dogs professionally, with Harley by my side every step of the way. He has pushed me to grow and taught me so much over the years.

I have a dedication to providing balanced training & confidence, through an energy-aware relationship, to each dog I get to work with. Dog training doesn’t look the same for every dog; what works for one, might not for the next. I always strive to help owners channel & embrace their dog’s natural instincts, in order to have a healthy & happy lifestyle together.

I’ve been lucky enough to have learned an abundance of knowledge & have had experience handling many different breeds, energies, behaviours and sizes in dogs over these years. I continue to further my education on handling, training & animal psychology through courses, workshops & collaboration. 

From Harley & that little girl, walking her dog around the neighbourhood & every other hound in my heart; I can’t wait to meet your dog’s and follow my dreams!
