Dog Training Rooted in Compassion, Guided by Science.
Searching for a dog behavior specialist in Winston-Salem? I work with aggression, reactivity, and complex behavior cases using humane, science-driven methods to help you and your dog move forward together.
Our Services
If you’re living with barking, lunging, growling, or behavior that feels like it’s spiraling out of control, you’re in the right place. I specialize in the tough cases—reactivity, aggression, fear, and the behaviors that didn’t budge with past training. Based in Winston-Salem and serving the Triad, I offer compassionate, science-based support through virtual and limited in-person sessions.
Fear, Anxiety & Stress
Big feelings show up as barking, growling, or lunging—not “bad behavior.” We help you understand what’s driving the reaction and teach safer, more confident ways to respond.
Fear, Anxiety & Stress
When the world feels scary—strangers, sounds, new places—we use proven, humane methods to build comfort and trust. You’ll learn how to support your dog when everyday life feels overwhelming.
Guarding, & Handling
From resource guarding to grooming or vet-care struggles, we focus on reducing conflict and creating safety. Our approach teaches your dog to participate calmly, not defensively, in everyday handling.
But Why Good Human?
We teach humans and dogs how to work together with clarity, compassion, and zero intimidation. Training is a conversation, not a shouting contest.
We believe better behavior grows from better understanding, not from fear, dominance, or one-size-fits-all advice. Every dog deserves a fair shake. Get it – “shake”. Yeah, we got jokes.

How It Works
Every case begins with a Virtual Consult. It’s a focused conversation where you can walk me through what’s been happening, and I’ll outline what your dog needs and what the next steps look like. From there, all behavior support is billed hourly- simple, transparent, and tailored to your situation.

“…Jen and I have been working together before I even got my dog. She has been so patient answering questions and making sure I am ready to teach my dog. Jen teaches to ensure understanding and is committed to making sure we are a successful service dog team…”
Jennifer is the real deal. She is kind, experienced, wise, educated, and down to earth. She helped us understand our dog’s puzzling (to us) behaviors and offered lots of suggestions, demonstrating and explaining everything until we really got it. She answered all our questions with grace and patience…
Jen was incredibly helpful in answering some specific questions I had about my new dog. I reached out with a fairly complex question about my dog’s behavior and she promptly gave me tailored advice, resources and next steps. It’s clear that Jen knows dog behavior and is very experienced, I would trust her with any future issues that arise.
