Your dog doesn't listen outside the house
Walks feel stressful or chaotic
Your dog jumps, pulls, or ignores commands
You've tried things that didn’t work long term
You want clear guidance and lasting results

You're not alone — and your dog isn't "bad". You just need the right structure and communication.

About Jessica

I’ve worked with dogs since 2011 — as a pet sitter, a shelter volunteer, foster parent, veterinary assistant, and trainer. I studied Animal Science and Pre-Veterinary Medicine at *The* OSU and gained hands-on experience working in shelters, clinics, and with a wide variety of animals. Currently, I share my home with my own dog and two very opinionated cats.

My passion for training really grew through fostering. Some of the dogs I brought into my home struggled with significant fear and reactivity, and helping them learn new skills — and eventually find the right homes — showed me how life-changing the right training approach can be.

Now at Better Bond Dog Training, my goal is simple: helping owners build clearer communication, more structure, and ultimately a better bond with the dog they share their life with.
