Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
Dog Behaviorist

For as long as Jessica can remember, she enjoyed understanding the behavior of animals - especially canines! As she got older, the passion only grew along with her knowledge and experience. She has worked with many kinds of dogs: eager to please, shut down and scared, dogs with no motivation and dogs that challenge their owners with other undesirable behaviors.

She loves helping the dog and owner overcome these concerns, and understand all of their challenges so they can be the perfect family. Jessica's love for training has led her to compete in dog sports that require precision and enthusiastic obedience. She trains and competes with her dog in PSA and various other activities.

With a strong belief that the relationship between dog and owner is the foundation of obedience, she approaches training with balanced methods to ensure the dog and owner can be successful together. Jessica's goal is for the dog to be confident in their behaviors and happy to obey!

Katy Abraham

Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
Dog Behaviorist

Ever since I was little I knew I would always be working with dogs, I grew up volunteering in shelters and worked as a veterinarian technician during and after college. Once I got my high drive Belgian Malinois, Church, I knew I had to get him into an activity that would fulfill his genetic needs. Together we became a certified explosive detection K9 team and have worked all over the country.

I have trained many law enforcement dogs and independent teams in obedience and detection work. I now live with my two working dogs, a Malinois and a Working line Cocker Spaniel, and a pet pit bull.

My favorite part about dog training is seeing an anxious dog come out of its shell and gain the confidence it needs to live a happy and fulfilled life with its family, as well as teaching the owners how to better communicate with their pet. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places and going on hikes with my pups.
Good dogs. Good questions.

Dallas–Fort Worth dog training FAQs

Start with your goals, your dog's history and how you can participate. Board and train takes place in a trainer's home and includes owner coaching. Private in-home lessons involve you practicing with your dog in your own routines. We confirm local availability and fit before recommending a plan.

Yes. We help families work through behavior concerns as well as everyday manners. Tell us about triggers, bite incidents, health concerns and previous training. Explore behavior-focused help and our leash reactivity guide. Your consultation helps us understand what support fits your dog.

Our balanced, relationship-first approach focuses on trust, clear communication, consistent boundaries and reinforcement. Your trainer explains the approach, practice and any appropriate tools recommended for your dog. Ask questions about the plan before you begin.

Cost depends on the format and program recommended. Review the local board and train page for published program options, then ask us to confirm the total, what is included and any applicable travel arrangements before you book.

No. Puppy training describes the age and foundation skills being addressed; board and train describes where training takes place. Explore puppy training options, then confirm age requirements, readiness and local availability with us.

Your dog stays in a trainer's home with an individual training and management plan. Training, rest and everyday practice are balanced around your dog's needs. Owner coaching helps you understand the plan and continue practicing when your dog returns home.

Tell us about medical needs, bite history, escape attempts, crate distress and other handling concerns before placement. We assess suitability, discuss management and use appropriate containment when a dog is not actively supervised. Home-based care does not mean continuous observation or a risk-free environment.

Coverage, trainer availability and travel arrangements vary by program. Share your location during the consultation so we can confirm what is available. A trainer's home is a private residence, not a public walk-in training facility.

More life together starts with understanding your dog.

Tell us what you love about your dog and what you would like to make easier. We'll talk through the right next step, program fit and current availability.
