Miss Blu’s Perfect Pooch is a dog training business based in Jacksonville, Florida, owned by Jacqueline Lippincott, a certified dog trainer since 2009 with professional experience since 2011. The business specializes in positive reinforcement training and offers both private lessons and in-home training programs tailored to the individual needs of dogs and their owners. They focus on creating a stress-free, rewarding environment where dogs learn basic house manners, behavior modification, and advanced skills like Therapy Dog certification. The trainer avoids all force-based tools such as shock, prong, or choke collars and is a certified member of the Pet Professional Guild and Shock Free Coalition. They help with a wide range of issues including fearfulness, aggression, potty training, leash pulling, barking, and separation anxiety, while also teaching owners how to communicate effectively with their dogs using positive methods.

In-home training is specifically designed to address problem behaviors that occur in the home, such as digging, excessive barking, and resource guarding, and can progress all the way to Therapy Dog test preparation. Private lessons are held at a neutral training site or pet-friendly public locations and can be customized for puppies, adult dogs, or dogs needing behavior rehabilitation. Single-session lessons are also available for targeted issues or refresher training.

The business emphasizes building a strong bond between dog and owner through reward-based training, using treats, toys, or affection based on what motivates each individual dog. Their philosophy, “Speak Positive, Speak Dog,” reflects their commitment to helping humans understand canine behavior and vice versa.
