Seventh Heaven Pet Care Services is a positive reinforcement dog training business serving Northern Virginia and Richmond, VA, led by certified dog trainer Jenny Stevens. She specializes in building strong, positive relationships between dogs and their owners using science-based, least intrusive, minimally invasive (LIMA) methods. Services include puppy training, welcome home training for adopted dogs, basic to advanced manners, loose leash walking, and specialized reactivity and behavior modification programs. Training is offered in-home, at her Varina training center, and at the Animal Behavior Wellness Center in Richmond. She also provides pet sitting and dog walking services with staff trained in the same positive methods used in training, ensuring consistency for dogs when owners are away.

Jenny has a background in in-home childcare for children with special needs, which informs her compassionate, customized approach to dogs with fear, aggression, or emotional regulation challenges. Her programs focus on helping dogs make better decisions, manage emotions, and build confidence through reward-based training using treats, toys, and games. She emphasizes owner education so clients can continue training effectively at home.
