What You and Your Dog Can Achieve Together:

The Confidence to Handle Anything Together

Training gives you more than obedience. It gives you the tools to face real-life challenges with calm, clarity, and trust in each other.

Calmer, More Obedient Behavior

Say goodbye to jumping, pulling, barking, or ignoring cues. I’ll help you teach your dog how to be well-mannered at home and in public, without harsh methods.

Social Skills for Real-World Adventures

Want to take your dog to patios, parks, or travel confidently? I’ll guide you through safe, positive exposure and socialization skills that last.

A Stronger Bond Through Training

Training is more than commands, it’s connection. Learn how to communicate clearly and work as a team with your adult dog.

Real life with a dog isn’t always easy.

You love your dog... but wow, this isn’t what you expected. From puppy potty accidents and late-night zoomies to adult dogs that ignore you on walks or jump on guests, it can all feel like… a lot.

You’ve tried the Google searches. The TikTok hacks. The advice from your neighbor’s cousin’s vet tech. Now you’re just overwhelmed and still stuck.

At Paws the Attitude, I cut through the noise with simple, ethical, and personalized training that works for your dog and your lifestyle.

Whether you're raising a new puppy or feeling frustrated with habits your adult dog still hasn’t grown out of, I’ll help you make a plan one that’s clear, doable, and actually helps you enjoy your dog again.

Using positive reinforcement and a whole lot of real-life experience, I’ll help you build the kind of relationship that makes everyday life easier and a lot more fun.

Training doesn’t have to feel like guesswork. It can feel like progress.

Real-life training for real-life dog owners

I’m Jessie, a CPDT-KA certified dog trainer who has been professionally helping dogs and their people since 2017. I specialize in positive reinforcement training for puppies, adult dogs, and dogs with big feelings like fear and reactivity.

But here’s the real truth. I’m not just here to train your dog. I’m here to support you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by puppy life, unsure how to help your adult dog, or just want a training plan that actually fits your life, I’ve got you.

Training with me means learning in real life, not following a one-size-fits-all formula. We will build skills that stick and a relationship that feels good on both ends of the leash.

"-came home happy and better behaved than I left her. 10000000/10 would recommend!"

Perfection for my pup and I when I became the forever home for a young puppy but had never raised one living alone and working a full time job with a long commute I needed someone to take care of her during the day. Jessie was so easy to talk with, responsive, kind, and accommodating. All my dogs LOVED her and my puppy got to be spoiled every day I worked with long walks (ride-alongs when she was too small) on trails, fun fetch sessions, diverse and appropriate socialization, and tons of love Daily pics were a huge bonus! Getting to see their adventures always made me smile. Some of those pictures (shown here) are still the best I have of her. She always loved her day care days and came home happy and better behaved than I left her. 10000000/10 would recommend!

She gave us several things we needed to change, and it was like magic!

We are very happy with Jessie and her training support. Our doggy Cindy Lou was a very stubborn girl, and it was most likely my fault. I hate to admit, but she wasn't fully potty trained after 3 years. We had Jessie come and evaluate her and our home. She gave us several things we needed to change, and it was like magic! I started implementing all the things and within 2 weeks our girl was fully potty trained! Now she comes to me when she needs to go outside. She looks at me and does a little spin around. That is her way of letting me know..."hey mama I need to go potty" I definitely recommend Paws the Attitude for any of your training needs.
