From Chaos to Harmony: A Life-Changing Experience
A pack of 7
With a large pack of dogs, we felt overwhelmed. After speaking with two other trainers with no success, we had little hope—until we found Jessica.
In just a couple of hours, she not only helped resolve the conflict between our Golden and our little dogs but also corrected multiple bad behaviors across the entire pack. Her methods made sense, and the results were immediate.
The attached photo?
That harmony would have never been possible without her help. We are forever grateful! If you need help with training or behavior issues, don’t hesitate—Jessica is amazing, and you won’t regret it!

Understanding the Balance. Discovering the BonD
For over 30 years, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding how dogs think, learn, and communicate.
My journey started when I was just 12 years old, fascinated by how dogs process the world around them. By 14, I was training dogs, and I’ve never stopped since.
I believe training isn’t just about commands—it’s about building a bond between dog and owner. That’s why I use a balanced training approach that focuses on clear communication, trust, and real-world results.
Whether your dog is struggling with obedience, leash manners, reactivity, or advanced skills, I help bridge the gap so both of you can succeed together.
As a certified mentor trainer with the Animal Behavior College, I’ve worked with countless dogs, from family pets to service dogs, and I’m currently pursuing my Master Certification in working-line dogs.
My passion is helping frustrated owners turn their overwhelmed, unruly dogs into well-mannered companions they can enjoy for life.
At Coastal Canine Training Academy, I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training—I believe in teaching you to understand your dog, their motivations, and their potential. That’s why CCTA is built around real results, practical training, and long-term success for both dogs and their humans.
