She provides training tailored to each dog’s personality and the owner’s lifestyle, eliminating the need for time-consuming group classes.

Jaime also offers a unique Family Dog Program and certified service dog training. She provides training equipment, email support, and access to a client portal for up to 12 months. Her son, Jacob Juda, is also a professional trainer with five years of experience, supporting the team.
