Our Programs
-
Our 2-week program that runs Monday through Friday, we visit your home for 60 minutes each day. We’ll work on loose-leash walking, basic obedience (sit, down, place), and address common issues like pulling, jumping, barking, and fearfulness.
Training happens where it matters most—in and around your home—so your dog learns skills they’ll use every day.
4-week programs also available!

This is a private one-time, hour long session where you will be able to go over any questions and training concepts you need help with!

Hi I’m Jen,
The Heart Behind Grounded Canine
Dog Behavior Nerd, Nature Lover & Animal Enthusiast
With years of hands-on experience in training and animal care, my goal is simple: create harmony at both ends of the leash so life together feels easy, joyful, and connected. Training starts with self-awareness and a compassionate approach—so your dog can mirror calm, confident leadership.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jen. Once a month, since early spring, we met up with Jen at the park so she could get to know my challenging boy before our big day. Immediately, we knew she was the right person. Jen is calm, intuitive, and intelligent. She respected his “quirks” and didn’t push him. My husband and I were so impressed and grateful for how flexible she was with our crazy wedding schedule. ”
Jo Gonzalez-Goldstein
“From my experience with Jen, she demonstrates the utmost love and dedication to every dog and animal she works with. She is an exceptional animal professional and a passionate, full-time advocate for their well-being.
