Testimonials
“We worked with Jessie P. who helped our dogs with some overprotective aggression inside the house… Their training techniques have helped our dogs tremendously. We can’t say enough good things about working with this service and Jess!”
– Mary Taylor Erskin
“Jessie, our trainer, was amazing from start to finish!… Jessie was able to help us achieve a connection with our rescue dog that I never thought we could–he was stubborn, too smart for his own good, and not food motivated.”
– Kaylin and Alex León
“We worked with Jessie at the dog wizard and it was the best investment we could have made!… She no longer barks at everything, is calm when people come over and she knows we’re in charge but isn’t afraid.”
– Krystyna Russell
