Jillian entered the dog training world in 2020 after bringing home her Australian Cattle Dog, Finley; a puppy with significant behavioral challenges. Jillian dove head first into all things dog and dog training, at first out of necessity, but it quickly turned into a passion.

In 2021, Jillian completed a 300 hour apprenticeship at The Right Paw. She also regularly attends seminars, conferences, and classes to further her education.

Outside of dog training, Jillian earned a bachelor’s degree in both psychology and human development & family studies in 2011. It has been a long-held desire of hers to help improve the lives of others. After experiencing firsthand how overwhelming life with a challenging dog can be, Jillian knew that she wanted to help people live better with their dogs.

Jillian strives to provide her clients with an enjoyable and judgement-free approach to training. She hasn’t forgotten what it felt like to be a new dog owner in way over her head!
