let’s get you on the trail

1:1 Training & Coaching

Your dog was born for adventure

You didn’t get a dog to leave them home while you hit the trails. You got them to be your adventure partner. But, right now, you can’t trust them to come back when there’s a deer, another dog, or a stranger with a sandwich.

I help owners training adventure dogs who can handle real-world stress and distractions. As a result, your dog will be more fulfilled, less reactive, more confident, and genuinely reliable.

If typical dog culture—dog parks, puzzle toys, and leash don’t fit your lifestyle, you’re in the right place.

I train for the real world

You need your dog to ignore wildlife on the trail, stay engaged with you around distractions, and make good decisions when they’re off-leash and you’re miles from anywhere.

my training pillars>

Clear
Communication

Dogs don’t speak our language, so I use a range of tools that work to get results in a language your dog understands

Confidence
& Resilience

Adventure dogs need to be able to handle stress. I build dogs who are mentally tough, resilient, and confident adaptable.

Engagement & Motivation

Training should be FUN. I focus on building drive, play, and genuine enthusiasm for learning using appropriate motivators.

Movement & Fulfillment

Your adventure dog needs full-body, full-extension movement and biological fulfillment. I help you discover what your dog loves.

I’m the trainer for you if…

You want to take your dog trail running, mountain biking, backpacking, camping, or on other outdoor adventures—and you need them to be reliable, confident, and actually enjoyable to bring along.

  • You’ve tried countless training plans, but none seem to stick
  • You feel overwhelmed by conflicting training advice
  • You can’t take your dog with you anywhere because they’re too much to handle.
  • You struggle to stay consistent with training because it feels pointless
  • You’re so frustrated with your dog, that you don’t even like them, sometimes.

what my clients have to say

  • “Jen took quality time to listen to our concerns and needs to bring our dog, Jazz, into a disciplined one year old. Jen changed Jazz’ collar and within a few minutes, Jazz was attentive and listening. We are so excited for this new training and a much easier pup to handle. Jen is very observant and understanding of meeting Jazz’s needs and our needs. We have a much better understanding of Jazz and the necessary committed training Jazz (and us) needs. We are so excited for this new journey in our lives (and Jazz is too)! Thank you Jen for working with us and Jazz!”

  • “Thank you Jen! through private lessons w/ Jen, my husband and I gained the necessary tools to enjoy our dog, Banjo, fully off leash. Through e-collar training we now have perfect recall and he is so much happier w/ his freedom to run and play. I also have a much better understanding of what drives/motivates him and our relationship has strengthened. I feel confident now addressing whatever challenges may arise in the future!”

  • “Jen really helped us train our newly rescued 2 year old, 80lb lab, Sam. We have never been through legitimate training before but Sam is strong, very sweet but we needed to learn how to handle such a big dog. Our other dog is 30lbs and she runs the whole family but we wanted Sam to respond to commands quickly.
    Jen taught all of us how to communicate and how to use an e-collar so Sam could have freedom on our property but stay safe! I highly recommend Jen for the type of training that individuals need for their situations.”
